Don't forget the many 20$ turbo dailies before the break, conflicts with the 'halting tournaments to pay for website redesign' thing. Doesn't make sense to bring extra attention if something shady was about to happen. Although, they did recently change their Facebook page not to show posts by others. Clearly, something is going on. And they don't want to look bad because of it - whatever they are taking their time to do. | ||

That's quite a few dailes you had to play to get all that, would be a shame if that time was wasted. Sadly though, all signs point to them going under. It's one thing if they go away for a few weeks, but without any notice or word or anything? It just doesn't look good. | ||

Thanks for the update bitter. Still don't know why they haven't updated us at all. . . but if they're good and coming back, that's more important. | ||

If theres any behaviour that would warrant such comments, this would be it. | ||

They do a great job at what they do, if you are watching for it they are always doing something. Not to mention given the spotlight to a lot of casters that are advancing in the scene because of them. | ||

Not to mention given the spotlight to a lot of casters that are advancing in the scene because of them. The CPL(Cyber Professional League) wasn't no name either. It was sponsored by large organizations such as SteelSeries, Intel, Nvidia, and one day, it was gone. All the earnings that was promised to the winning teams over a course of a few years was never paid. And the sums were huge, amounting to hundred of thousands of dollars. I believe many people from coL and 3D wasn't paid either. And you know Madoff's company wasn't no name either. A lot of big time investors, including politicians, celebrities, and prominent figureheads had invested in the company. And it was nothing more than a bankrupt business. Just because some organization has a huge name and people backing it up certainly does not mean they have the funds to support what they do. And ultimately, you can see the USA, although BIG in everything is falling into a shit hole with piles of debt. And what if a bank suddenly deny the deposits you have EARNED. wouldn't you be suspicious? Something as big as CITIBANK or HSBC certainly will not. Oh no, you certainly are wrong. If they do not have money, they can't. Not even if you sue their ass into submission back to the bronze age. | ||

As they get charged x amount on it. Snute said he has over $500 which he can't withdraw on this same page. | ||
