i want to hear the boss's side, not just the "official statement"
Lol, good luck with that. You're likely not going to hear "boss's" side at all. If anything, I'd like to hear from some of the other players at the house like Ret.
I would be more interested in seeing the actual contract than an official statement. If it's just a standard contract then releasing it shouldn't cause any harm. Why all the secrecy with NDAs and all in the first place?

Perfectly possible for the house (as in the building) to be amazing but the boss behind it to be an unreasonable unprofessional douche.
And from where you know that ? You met him ? , or you just read one post here..?
Do you know him? Or are you associated with MoW in any way?
Im not.. but I never make an opinion based on one person words. Fuzer make post at TL and everyone instantly belive him.. Maby he make something it the house..and now he defend himself , we dont know that..
Why would fuzer make it up? why would he even post/make it public if everything was ok? You make no sense. Obviously something went wrong, and they did Fuzer wrong.
The thing is, it's hard to speak out in that situation when you're a no-namer as you don't want to rock the boat and get a bad name for yourself as some whiny dude or whatever, so I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them are just keeping their heads down about all the shit.
I look at this.. I wary to trust this source. I want the OTHER players opinion cause contracts such as these would have OTHER people complaining about it. And unless other players come forward this Post seems sketchy.

With DarkForCe posting in here that this needed to happen, Im quite worried...
Hope someone from either party can come clarify this ASAP!
I dont have special infos about this case specifically, but i know that many, especially lesser known players, get screwed in eSports by teams and maybe also by other organisations . Maybe Fuzer exaggerated his point, but whatever it is, its good that this kind of thing gets public imo.

Meh many posters said stuff like "lets hear the other side too" or even "if what OP said is true it's pretty bad"
Obviously not everyone is instantly believing it. We'll know when MoW releases their statement. Hopefully it will be detailed and relevant, not some empty generality.

Yep, it is going to be PR talk.
Pretty sure most players who signed a contract has NDA, and yes, it's fairly obvious "more succesful or renown" players would get a better contract. For sure.
The Boss guy looks like kind of a dick here, but honestly, a contract is a contract.
When I was first contacted by MoW, my very first action was to request a contract and read through all of the fine terms.
As for the "not allowed to stay at another house in 10 years," that's not true, you're just not allowed to start your own team house in 10 years. It's kind of strange, maybe, for the e-sports world, but that's a pretty standard non-competition clause from the business world. It's meant to protect businesses from revealing practices to an employee and then having that employee run off to start their own business to compete using everything they learned from that previous business. Not saying it's right or wrong in this circumstance, just giving some background.
Yeah, there are some other clauses. Financial compensation they want, minimum number of stream hours, etc...etc...But to complain about all of these after the fact..? I can't understand why anyone would move to a house and not read the contract first, seems kind of strange.

really no surprise here. i'm glad people voice their opinion. this reminds me of Cloud criticizing various organizations who owed severeal progamers money they didn't pay yet.

Fair enough man, I see I read abit too much into your post
I guess we'll have to see what MoW has to say about it...

LOl you got some problems you know that ? , you wanna INVESTIGATION some person life , because some players write UNPROVED information.. ? go to doctor.. or something.
Lol at the stealing ideas part. Is any team complaining that every other team "stole" the idea of having their players live and train in the same house and have their basic needs provided for? That's probably the most influential idea to happen in esports, and no one wants to say that it should be exclusive to only one party. The nda should have been enough to keep people quiet about ideas. What's next, a team saying others can't use their build because the idea to use (insert strategy here) belongs to them and shouldn't be stolen? New ideas are built from old ideas.
