Transactions between companies and persons are tricky because of taxes and book keeping. It's easier to just let the team (another company) to send an invoice to the tournament organizer. Also, some teams take a cut out of the prize money. | ||

Major is pretty unlucky with this stuff Sebou seemed very involved in the scene as well, and the brand was around for quite a while now, sad to see in the end it all comes crashing down like so many other teams did before. | ||

I remember that twitterfight. I remember being appalled by the disrespect coming from that Sebou person - taunting Choya and Legend, photoshopping evidence and so on. Now he rips off from his own team members as well? It's a shame that such a person entered this scene. | ||

Not sure if Rifkin is trying to be controversial for the attention or just wants everyone to hate him at this point. Maybe he should stick to the casting rather than talk about veterans of the scene who've been more respected before he even knew what SC2 was. | ||

Never known Demuslim to be the secretive type, iirc he was always pretty open about his time at EG, etc, so that's pretty funny to see him call someone else a rat. | ||

He supposedly managed some hedge funds, which is surprising in itself but not unheard of. If this is true, he would be making a very hefty paycheck. Either way, he clearly likes to present himself as having more money than he knows what do with, which is definitely pretty distasteful/nauseating. | ||

This may sound outlandish, but it may be worth all players paying a small % of their winnings to an insurance pool for just such occasions. No single player/small group could fight this, but ALL pro-players are threatened by this type of behavior, since very few are independent wealthy. | ||
