Organisations often run into an issue where they want the best players and so all get into a bidding war where everyone's throwing false/exaggerated promises around. This sort of culture is pretty ingrained in eSports organisations and it really sucks for players getting involved for the first time and realising there is zero free support in eSports, despite the many promises they hear.
For me settling with Exile 5 was an easy fit because they were straight-up honest about what they could offer me and what they wanted in return. I hope other teams can start to adopt the same attitude as more money gets involved and it moves closer to the professional sphere.
I'm only like half way through the OP so far, but I just saw the bit where you threatened to post it on TL. Please don't post it on TL. It's reached a point where the only time Aussies post on TL is just to highlight some drama. It's embarrassing. Keep it internal, there's no need to involve a global audience.
Okay finished reading it. Bloody hell what a nightmare. Sadly this is pretty much what AU eSports has been like since day 1. Sorry to hear you had to endure such a rollercoaster, i'm really glad I don't have to deal with any of that crap.
[14/08/2013 3:54:05 PM] Seth Touchette: Well
[14/08/2013 3:54:15 PM] Seth Touchette: considering the fact that you're essentially threatening us
[14/08/2013 3:54:40 PM] Seth Touchette: we're not going to pay anything that we didn't intially said we would look at
HERP DERP dodgy contracts are dodgy, like i said from the start, avant gets all the power players get none.
Why did I receive support and have many discussions from high level people in the community regarding this?
A-Grade moron? Lmao you are a ******* idiot. Are all of ex-AvToR morons too? Is anyone that was ever fucked over like this a moron?
Just you you're the moron. You blogged about it for one. The whole thing doesn't do much to dispel the feeling of arrogance and self entitlement you come across with.
You had support from "high level people" because they will stick up for the little guy in a sponsor vs player situation but that doesn't excuse the way you act. Did they jump in and give support in a meaningful way or just tell you over skype or in a forum blog that you were right?

They didn't help me directly per say but they helped others in the future, I can't really say much else...
Sorry for commenting 'r/cringe' on your girlfriends whatever I just saw, please comment on more of my things and tell me how shit they are though if it makes you feel better

just going to sort of jump in here really quickly for a second and point out that all the people Mezje's talking about didn't actually fly in to rescue Satiini in the Satiini/pX drama recently, which technically was a Player/Sponsor situation (from what I understand)
/jumps out again

If you're going to have a go at how people look on the internet, you probably shouldn't upload photos like this one:
If I was a tool who used superficialities such as appearance in order to try to bring someone down to my level, I'd do my best to not look like a twelve year old while doing it.
