As long as we have to pay outside of Germany, we pay the same tax no matter if private person or business. It has a big impact for DH prize money though. It's just the swedish law. Pay the player directly, 40% tax, pay a company, in this case the team, it's just 10% tax or something. If players want to receive DH prize money directly, without going through a team, they should register their own company. Best case would of course be, if teams could just be trusted . | ||

In an interview [1], they mentioned an Alcohol business that support them. Does someone know what brand is it and how KingSebou ( It's the guy who disappeared, right ?) is related to them ? They mention another sponsor called librit.fr and being 5 peoples. As far as I know, nobodies of the staff as commented about this. It will also be nice to have comments of well known figures, like DeMusliM who defend the guy in the first place. KingSebou was so talkative on twitter, that we should be able to collect enough evidence for a lawyer or at least spread some love to this business partner.

TCM Gaming quietly dissolved a while back, leaving any potential claims against them impossible. Hard to determine. Afaik, officializing a dissolution by having it published in the Journal Officiel is not an obligation in France (unlike officializing a creation), and one that a potentially shady organization definitely won't fulfill. Honestly, it's pretty hard to move on from here, without (a) knowing exactly the organization's statutes (les statuts de l'association, a document that you're legally bound to write when you create a non-profit organization, that details how shit works, who can do what, etc ; and most importantly, it probably details what happens in case of a dissolution : where does the money go ?) and/or (b) having direct contact with someone who knew the team's management (friends, etc). (a) can be potentially obtained through the Préfecture de Seine-Saint-Denis, since that's where it was declared. (b) is easier or harder to do, depending on how much effort you're willing to undertake. As a first step, I think checking with Invasion's sponsors might be useful (they had contact with the team's management, else they wouldn't be sponsors). This is even truer considering that I have high suspicion that three of their sponsors (LibrIT, Four Seasons Property and the alcohol brand that was never mentioned) are somehow linked to the team's creators ; probably family ties. LibrIT because it was there since the begining ; Four Seasons Property and the alcohol brand because, well, luxury brands usually just do not invest in eSports (and have zero, zero, zero interest in doing so), meaning this sponsorship was motivated by personal passion/pleasure. EDIT : after a quick research, Four Seasons Property, through its administrative president Grégory Lyonnet, is indeed linked to a alcohol-related business, "Luxury Spirits SARL", a society whose goal is to "import, export, buy and sell wine, liquors, spirits, alcohol, and alcohol-free drinks".

[1] [2] hmm yeah if they aren't required to provide notice if they dissolve then it doesn't seem like much can be done. Typically the money left over (they would clear out the account before) would go towards the state / government, provided no claim against them is made in the notice period. However, as you say, doesn't look like notice is required. In the grand scheme of this, the dissolution is a moot point. It seems that the sponsors of Invasion have some personal connection with the managers, as you say, Four Seasons Property as a sponsor? Not likely.. It makes more sense to me now what's going on, Invasion was a passion project that was losing too much money and as a result the cord was pulled. It's not very realistic that anything comes from this, and I'm sure the powers that be fully realized that, which is sad Still very much the wild west. | ||
