I think it’s time for @OW_Esports to take responsibility for the travesty of EMEA thievery. Literally almost every coach or player (myself included) who has taken part in EMEA pro Overwatch has gotten scammed or regularly gets scammed out of their contracted money, to the point to where it’s to be expected. This often includes prize money directly paid from Blizzard. There is essentially zero recourse for the player, and that mean these orgs are motivated to continue to lie and cheat their way into continued relevance in the region. This is not sustainable for an esport that has any ethical or professional aspirations, but it is also a travesty of missed opportunities. Enabling actively toxic and incompetent orgs is directly making it impossible for smaller, more competent, and more honest orgs from taking their place. At some point there’s has to be a line in the sand drawn, where I don’t care how few people are working on esports for Overwatch. This is not something you can allow long term if we ever want this esport to succeed. There should be zero tolerance, and if you don’t pay, you don’t play. You either bite the bullet now or wallow in mediocre irrelevance forever, because what you tolerate IS THE STANDARD. This can’t be the future of esports if esports wants a future.
