It's not like there will be any legal action taken... everyone is free to play the con-man and promise all kinds of things, with virtually nothing at stake apart from the reputation in StarCraft. And it's the pro gamers that take the hit. To fix this there had to be consequences to scamming, or everyone has to pay in advance. The latter isn't really feasible for a lot of (honest) organisations, so it kindof had to be the former. So I guess we would need a players association that help players set up contracts that actually will put the organisers in legal trouble if they don't pay? Without punishing honest organisations too much? Wasn't there something like that at some point? I don't know, I'm a random gold player that theory crafts. Does the above make any sense? | ||

But Choya was the guy who didnt understand american taxes and called out MLG for missing money of MarineKing just to ruin their name. That does not help him when it comes to financial call outs. | ||

Well, a players' union (or several players' unions, even) would be the most basic thing that should happen. But that's eSports players we're talking about. | ||

If your team demands individual prizes be handled by them you need to know theyre gonna take it. Sucks for gumiho. Many progamers prefer that their team gets the prizemoney directly then send it back to them... Because if tournament organizer gives you the money directly they have to pay tax and you get less money in the process. But if tournament organizer gives the money directly to your organization they don't pay taxes and you will in the end get all your prize money. I never really understand why but this is how it works. | ||

I never really understand why but this is how it works. Really interesting aspect you brought up here, can anyone confirm this and maybe give further background insights? Teams/organizations should pay some sort of tax, as well (also depending on the amount of prize money), since they act profit-oriented. At least, that's how it would work in Germany, I think. | ||

Sad thing is, he probably know very well how to run a team, and most of all how to run a team that make him the most money by not paying his player. | ||
