aX.eSports caught in sponsoring deception

ax esports, bringer, insolence

Samu 'BriNGeR' Riihelä and Alexander 'iNSoLeNCE' Hein have been hired by aX.eSports just a few weeks ago. However, the team has now been closed and salaries have not been paid.

iNSoLeNCE

The German clan Germany aX.eSports recruited a Warcraft3 team in December 2008 - Finland Samu 'BriNGeR' Riihelä, Germany Alexander 'iNSoLeNCE' Hein and three other Germans should've played under this name in the NGL ONE and ESL Premier League. Rumors in the German scene had it that there was a possible end of the team and it was true: aX.eSports has closed completely and the new squad won't receive any salary.

The team manager Germany Florian 'MyMusic' Glaser has been interviewed by readmore.de about the broken contract, the simple-mindedness of the managers and the future of the team.

"To be honest, I have to admit that we had a bad feeling about aX.eSports. After several unfulfilled promises, we had to think about this 'worst case'. The complete closure of aX.eSports couldn't be foreseen." he answered.

BriNGeR was the
newest addition

Speaking about salaries and money he added: "We haven't seen anything. Since pheenom (one of the managers) has been paid for his graphic services, we believed in the seriousness although several people warned us before. [...] We were promised to receive a sum with four digits that has not been that small."

Furthermore, he reported that the team wants to stay together: "We will stay together and search for a new team. It would be stupid to drop a team with these players, leagues, possibilities and ambitions."

The complete interview in German can be found on readmore.de.

The former team of Germany aX.eSports looks as followed:

Germany Orc Alexander 'iNSoLeNCE' Hein
Germany Human Daniel 'Farmer' Ciesla
Germany Nightelves Marc 'Night' Piechulla
Germany Orc Lukas 'LuKe' Auer
Finland Nightelves Samu 'BriNGeR' Riihelä

shit happens.
this is esports and salaries which are not paid is not a new topic, but I mean that maybe a bit more checking out would have done good.

I mean playerwise it is a promising team, but first the results then the high salary. At least it is this way all life,... and to be honest this team for a high four digit amount a month :X

i do not want to talk about decisions this way, but we in warcraft have to learn that salaries are not going UP they are going down, with the high pool of teamless players. Of course everybody wants to make money with the hobby, dreaming is allowed but it should have a solid background.

I wish the team and especially Bringer good luck in the future. I hope they find a new home and I would appreciate it if this team can stick together and play good leagues. It is a promising team, but also one which has to prove themselves. :)

This happens a lot, not that it is good by any means, but the manager should have done his job and made sure the home that he was leading his players to was suitable.

I have no idea how the legal system there works but here if lets say the contract was legal and binding. then the individuals who wrote up the contract would have there wages garnished to pay the courts decision. Being poor or bankrupt means nothing here.

I'm sure those players but a lot of effort into WarCraft, and they deserve something back, but honestly I don't see any player on their level getting payed. Second/third layer organizations simple does not have any money.

Well, I've lived here for 5 months if that does any difference.

Ok sure they can get that kind of contract, but how many organizations fulfill it in the end anyway?

Those kind of things happens pretty often afaik, even though it's not written about every time.

I didn't mean they do not deserve it. I see them not being payed because organizations on many cases do not have the money. See the difference?
