Hello guys,
I joined a new team, Eclypsia, on March 8th. I put a lot of confidence in them, declining other offers. Eclypsia seemed very ambitious with a large budget, good contacts and a solid plan to give the players they recruited the best possible conditions to improve. Everything went fine at first, wages paid by the hour, very good coaching, superb communication. No reason to worry.
Then the Copenhagen Games approached. In accordance with what had been agreed, I booked the hotel and flight myself, on the understanding I’d be payed back along with my salary... But my salary has not been paid for nearly two weeks. In that time I’ve had enormous problems getting in touch with representatives of the team. It seemed hard to believe that this was a coincidence and I started to worry a lot.
After speaking to my teammates it seems that I am far from alone in this case. Eclypsia seems to have stopped responding.
I didn’t want to have to resort to these methods, but it seems obvious now that I will not receive my salary, that the countdown to the launch of their website www.eclypsia.com was actually a scam, and that they have screwed us.
Welmu

Fuck. Well, is there a legally binding contract that will allow you to recover your expenses? Sucks ><
|
Poor you guys 
I wonder what SloG feels like, at least you, ELViS and dayshi were free agents, he left one of the worlds best teams for EC. "/
|
don't you have contracts?
|
The site countdown is at 0 now, is that recent? If so...
April Fools. They got you, and this is no joke.
|
Damn man that sucks so much, especially how u had to pay for the hotel and flight on ur on expenses
|

Never pay out of your own pocket expecting to get it back. It's not like this is unprecedented.
|
If they had a big budget, why would you have to pay for your accommodations/flights first? =/
|
I wished you have waited more than 2 weeks before bringing it to the public and make that into a hudge shitstorm...now their structure is basically dead because of your message

It says 5 hours and 50 minutes for me. I think It's timezone fixed, and since it's an european team its probably supposed to be in CET+1.

Are you serious? This is his employer, and he hasn't been in able to get in touch with them for two weeks. How can you expect someone to wait more than two weeks when they're not getting wages promised or even the opportunity to communicate with their boss.

wow that fucking sucks, i hope things work out for you guys in the end.
|
I'd feel suspicious everytime new team offers to pay for stuff, but wants you to first pay it yourself and getting paid later. Maybe if the team and player have some history, and player has been paid before for other expenses, I'd trust, but to start off the relation by player paying something like 200euros (?) alone it seems stinky.
Either way, shitty for the players.

So they basically took the sponsor money and dissapeared?
|
this is terrible. Man this just sucks
