The problem is that other than bringing the facts to public attention the players have no power to do anything. And these swindling teams don't really give a fuck. | ||

I can understand your and hyuns frustration, but one thing that always astonishes me is that so many gamers don't have good contracts and they DON'T give a fuck about having a good insurance when it comes to work contracts o_0. Man this is a job like any other and the first thing I did when I started working is because at one point or another you will get ripped off by your company. 4 Weeks ago a friend of mine got his contract cancelled for no reason at all. They found some shady arguments and that was it. So,... rip off is not only an esports thing!! It happens everywhere were one guys has to give money to another, because this is what humans do since there is money around... they try to get an easy deal. So: why the heck doesn't have every pro gramer a frickin ensurance that covers this shit and more important: Why do so many pro gamers don't have proper contracts on what gets payed and what doesn't? | ||

Would be great if any major TL personalities decided to lead it A really really nice sentiment, but I am afraid it's only a patch work solution. I feel like players really need a union to protect them. | ||

Because you feel lucky to do what you love for a living and teams know you do and if you disagree they will take someone else who signs their conditions. Again, it's a very shady business. | ||

The Quantic manager is probably in chock like HyuN and I doubt the Quantic manager after the reformation was on a payroll either. In any regard, HyuN's manager should not be held accountable for something he didn't commit - he didn't hold the financial agreements here, the owner did. | ||

Unfortunately, it happens nearly everywhere when money is involved. Really comes down to the person, some choose conduct business in a dishonest and shady manner, and some have a code they follow. Comes down to being able to see what kind of person you are doing business with, and that's very hard at times. | ||
