Is it convenient to follow several platforms dedicated to individual games at the same time? eSports sphere is being developed so fast that the vast majority of people simply have no time to follow several platforms at once. "Monolith Team" together with the general sponsor "cybbet.com" is founding the new multigaming platform in Russia. “Ultimate eSport Team League” is intended for carrying out professional eSports tournaments at world level. The first StarCraft 2 league starts at the 18th of August in a brand new format for Europe - team vs team (Korean Proleague analogue). The total prize of the tournament is currently $700. Participants included teams like Team Property, TES, Redbloods, BrawL eSports, cSc 1xbet, as well as several korean and american progaming teams, recruited with Grand Master League players. The opportunity to bet on tournament matches on a website of the general sponsor "cybbet.com" is going to be a pleasant addition to the features of our league.

I decided to reach out of Cybbet to hear their side of the story here. The CEO referred me to this link where he spoke about it in detail. (right click then "Translate to English" for those who want to read)

In Summation: Team Monolyth got sponsored to run a tournament and made promises about viewership and promotion. $300 up front for production costs, $700 later (the prize pool amount). UETL did a very poor job organizing the event, and promoting it (why is why 99% of people don't know what this is). Apparently their broadcasts would often get less than 10 concurrent viewers, and they didn't do a good job promoting the sponsor.
The organizers vowed to fix the problems, but never made good on that. Cybbet claims that their brand wasn't advertised once during a particular playoff broadcast. All these things led them to decide to terminate the deal they had.
Most people probably won't care about this, since it's a team with 4 twitter followers who don't really know what they are doing. But it sucks because a lot of legit teams wasted time on this, 4 of which could have made some money. And Dimaga plays for Monolith according to their liquipedia page, so that's a shame too.

Thanks for clearing it up Techno, sounds like really its not Cybbet's fault.
