Some people may be wondering why I disappeared from the scene after early 2024. This is my situation: My company had unpaid invoices from SportsGamer from early 2024. A claim was filed in the District Court, and a judgment has been given. However, the enforcement authority has not been able to collect the payment from the company. There have been no updates to the situation during the past six months.

Geez… people here have less patience than my 3-year-old daughter (and hers is absolutely sh**e). Looks like some of you just want drama. People shouldn’t judge before knowing the facts! Sportsgamer promised to give more info in a couple of days, so by tomorrow (Friday) at the latest (?). Why can’t you just wait a bit and then judge when you have the facts? I understand the appropriate questions because people want answers. I’ve known Kenu since before most of you were even born. If there’s one person in the world who would never steal your money or scam you in any way, it’s Kenu. People seem to forget pretty fast. Remember that Kenu has done this for years and years for free. Because it is his passion. At least we owe him the chance to explain everything. From my point of view, maybe not all the wisest decisions have been made but the community should also take a look in the mirror. The community demanded prize pools under the threat of leaving Sportsgamer (a few years ago), and… here we are. Sportsgamer was NOT ready for this. One thing I know is that it's not easy to get a sponsor for this game. Also, to the people here advertising other leagues: there’s a saying “the grass isn’t always greener on the other side”. It takes a lot of work to manage a league and deal with all its problems. You need to be extremely passionate about it to do it all for free. …And before people start saying I’m taking sides, that’s not true. Do I agree that people should receive their money asap and that the payments have taken unacceptably long? Yes. Do I think some risky decisions were made? Yes. Do I think Sportsgamer shouldn’t ask for more money before the old debts are paid? Yes. I don't know why the payments haven't been made in 90 days as promised, but all I’m asking for is a little bit of patience - let them publish the info before judging. I know for a fact that many players, including Elite players, have opinions or suggestions or are blaming SportsGamer. Why are they not opening their mouths now when it's time to speak? That’s because the community is so toxic and they are afraid of being bullied or slaughtered. So they criticize SportsGamer in private. Man up and open your mouth if you have something to say!

So if sportsgamer doesn't want to pay, why stay here whining? Isn't it heading towards new disappointments and new leagues?

I have received prize money since they have been part of SportsGamer. That 90 day payment period has not been true after the first two years and I don't understand why it has been in the rulebook for so long. Without a doubt, the payment of the money has taken too long and I understand everyone's pain because you have to pay for this. But don't worry, you will definitely get your money! 🫡

Alright bro, listen up. The message was clear — they do have money problems. What you don’t seem to get is that when a company has financial issues — like many others around the world — delays are inevitable. I’m not part of the staff, and honestly, I get pissed at them too. But SG is just a tiny company in the grand scheme of things. They made some mistakes, got a bit ahead of themselves, and now they’re paying for it. It happens — humans make errors. The real issue right now is that everyone’s running their mouth, but not one of you has ever actually run a business. You don’t know what it’s like or what kind of pressure and constraints business owners deal with. It’s always easy to criticize when you’re just an employee. And let’s be honest — thinking you could make a living off NHL or that it would really blow up? That’s kind of naive. Nobody really cares about hockey that much. Back to the topic of companies — I know this stuff well. Nearly my entire family runs or owns international businesses (so yeah, for those drooling over the Saudi connection, now you know the truth). But at some point — just shut up already. There are even two alternative leagues in the works if SG doesn’t recover. But as of now, SG isn’t dead yet. And like I always say — everyone talks a big game, but you’ll all be the first ones back playing the next ECL. You all are getting on my nerves with how ridiculous this has become. If you’re not happy, then leave — we get it.

I didn’t read this thoroughly but something about eating ass? I’m partial. 🤝

It’s all good bro. Patzlaf has already confirmed that Sportsgamer is going to pay. 😂 Listen to the Elite players. If they refuse to believe there are any problems, then there are no problems. Just fall in line.

yeah, thats why i joked about the beginning of your post and the last thing u said. i bet the new info from SG will be something like this: -> we hear you -> thanks for the communication -> times are difficult with VAT increase -> we are eager to fix this for the future -> lets start the szn >>> fast forward 1 year -> we have this problem with payments

thats true, most of the people crying here dont have a fukin clue how business model works, and how small is business if u make about 100k after taxes, even if u make millions or hundreds millions u can bankrupt easily if cashflow is empty, KENU has done FOR US thousands hours free label to make us cry babes happy, sure desperate ppl makes desperate moves, but it is so easy to shout here after things go wrong, in small business only one bad move or risk with money can bankrupt u, and does ppl really thinks that maintance is free, everything cost smth, and when u are small, u really cant pay much ppl for content here in website example etc...
