You guys seemed like decent blokes IRL, hell if I could fund people on just being nice guys, then you would pass the bar. A lot of the SC2 guys I met @ Lan last weekend seem like top blokes.
This was how ToR felt we were treated, like second-tier players who aren't "worthy" of Avant's almighty sponsorship.
Sure, we were second tier players. We were good, but we weren't pig/iaguz/moonglade/kingkong etc material. Let's be honest, you couldn't AFFORD those types of players. You NEED to be aware of who you're picking up and what you're promising BEFORE you recruit players. You can't backpedal midway through picking up a team and start berating the team and saying "you're just second tier so we feel we have no obligation to do any sort of funding etc".
That's pathetic, people aren't going out of their way to promote your brand for nothing. It's insulting to the players involved, and will only damage relationships.
I suggest you become aware of who you're dealing with before you recruit them, rather than deciding midway through the relationship that they should continue representing you whilst you do nothing for them.
This is exactly why I didn't want to sign that phony contract, it gives Avant all of the power and the players are promised nothing for it. You can decide not to give the players anything, whilst they will still have to represent you.
I'm really glad I joined SLCN, they have been far superior in every way to Avant. I'm not angry at you personally Seth, but Avant reeks of unprofessional behavior.
I'll be interested to see if you have a response for this, and if you feel like you've wronged anyone with this mentality that you put on display in a public forum.
