ESEA responds to Virtus.pro

28-12-2014 15:31

ESEA have issued an official response to Virtus.pro's statement, where they blamed ESEA for not paying out prizes to the organization.

Earlier today Virtus.pro issued a statement threatening to boycott certain event organizations, if they did not pay out the outstanding prize money from their previous events.

Soon after Copenhagen Games and ESEA were removed from the list of organizations who still owed Virtus.pro money. Now ESEA have issued their official response.

"Today Virtus Pro released a statement about large amounts of prize money owed to the organization and wrongfully mentioned ESEA. For ESEA the Season 17 LAN Playoffs, which concluded on Sunday, December 7, North American players elected for checks onsite while Fnatic, Titan, and mousesports were paid extremely promptly via bank wire or PayPal within days of the event but Virtus Pro still has not turned in their bank account information for payment (they requested payment to a different bank account than to where their previous season’s winnings were sent). We followed up with the team’s manager on December 14, 18, and 22 but still have not gotten the bank account information for prize payment and still await the information," Craig "Torbull" Levine said on ESEA.

"While other eSports acronyms have gone defunct (CPL, WSVG, CGS, IPL, WCG, etc.) or others abandoned CS, ESEA has remained committed to CS for over ten years and has awarded $876,890 in prize money to date. Prize money for our ESEA Invite Division has traditionally been paid onsite at our events via checks and to those needing bank wires within days of the event. Our other divisions are paid typically within 7 business days of receiving completed paperwork; not in 60, 90, 180, or in many cases longer or unpaid.

"We are disappointed to see ESEA wrongfully lumped into a group of unpaid tournament organizers by the Virtus Pro post and are working in privately with Virtus Pro to further clarify the situation."

Virtus.pro attended ESEA Invite Finals in both Season 16 and Season 17, finishing in third and second place, respectively.

nice

yeah because that's how business should work "hey we haven't paid you yet because you haven't gave us the bank account details but now since you accused us we won't pay" I hope you're never head of a business because it won't go very well

2014-12-28 16:53

yeah because that's how business should work Its much better to just rush it out to the public that they dont pay, oh we forgot to send them our bank infomation.

yeah because that's how business should work I don't even know why I bothered, have a nice day.

2014-12-28 18:29

my first comment was a joke btw, and the point is VP is sending out officially statements about something that is not true. I guess thats "ok" because it was just a mistake.

2014-12-28 18:44

And.. that should allow them to not pay them? Flawed logic.

2014-12-28 18:30

It was a joke, but it just shows how unprofessional Virtus.Pro staff is, pointing fingers when its their own mistake. They haven't even contactet ESEA to ask "whats up?", they just randomly send out a statement that ESEA doesn't pay. If that was my company i would be mad :)

2014-12-28 18:42

i got ur joke....and yes vp staff are a bunch of unprofessional shitheads

2014-12-29 08:33

Expected. ESEA too legit to quit.

2014-12-28 15:51

I doubted very much that the ESEA would to default

i doubted 2

2014-12-28 15:53

actually it seems like vp manager fucked up, and he is german, Kappachino

If its true then GJ to VP organisation, because of their fault im pretty sure Pasha&Co. won't be invited for ESEA next season..

2014-12-28 16:04

Won't be a factor in the decision.

2014-12-28 18:25

It won't impact the team from competing in our upcoming seasons! :)

2014-12-28 20:01

wanted to see how it's ended

2014-12-28 16:01

Good guy lpkane

2014-12-28 16:03

you are wrong. ESEA paid everyone else on time, why would they not do the same with virtuspro ?

pls dont reproduce and wear condoms, that is if you ever have the chance to get laid.

2014-12-28 19:21

obviously u didnt read the statement and also u are a moron.

2014-12-29 08:37

Maybe it's a misinformation between ESEA and VP. But the problem of unfair tournament organizers is still existing. I hope that ESEA and VP are profesionals and solve this situation in profesional way.

LOL, are you stupid? Oh, wait, if they said/wrote it, it must be truth... I'm asking, from where you know that they do it? Oh, from article. So, you actually don't know.

2014-12-28 17:08

If you read also the other article you would know that VP already removed ESEA from the blacklist.

2014-12-28 17:10

If you had a brain, youd realize that its true, vp contacted esea, and sorted out the issue. Inb4 "stoopid merican love esea"

2014-12-28 18:08

It says right on the fucking article

2014-12-28 16:59

LOL, are you stupid? Oh, wait, if they said/wrote it, it must be truth... I'm asking, from where you know that they do it? Oh, from article. So, you actually don't know. And what is your point in repeating article?

The VP org obviously didn't deny it did they? If ESEA' statement was so ludicrously wrong VP would have objected to it. Not to mention that afterwards VP acknowledged it, removing ESEA from the list of culprits. Use a little bit of logic.

2014-12-28 17:21

Your logic is based on time. Now we know that they remove them, as CPGames - after upadate. But when you write your logic post we didn't know it. And don't repeat conent of article.

2014-12-28 19:13

Thank you for your useless replies, troll.

2014-12-28 16:55

it wasnt official statement, someone just translated it to english from russian and posted on reddit... that were just thoughts of theyre menager on his site.

2014-12-28 17:23

Still, it's quite unprofessional on the manager's part

2014-12-28 17:25

After mining scandal i still dont trust them. But, for them to not pay premium team like vp their winnings. Meh, that would make no sense :/

From this list you can clearly see that you are a fat american homosexual, it's time to come out from the closet my friend. Kinda funny if you think about it, the irony.

2014-12-29 00:39

Lets not forget the Lawsuit Over the Bitcoin Mining Scandal... When the accusations first flew, ESEA Co-founder Eric Thunberg initially pleaded ignorance, then tried to blame the whole thing on an "April Fools" joke gone wrong before eventually singling out "an employee acting on his own and without authorization." Yeah they seem like they have it all together...

2014-12-29 09:39

You can blame ESEA a lot of things but not paying cash prizes is not something that they do. They've been priding themselves in paying on site since the firsts LAN finals.
