Show me the money!

[Karlzzzon]

I don't even participate in ECL, but reading posts here, this feels like a perfect replica of real life socialism. 

 

Demand a lot of money to be part of a community. Waste it on absolute nonsense that doesn't actually benefit anyone outside of the "government", instead of on the people who actually financed everything.

 

Then when they have run out of money, ask for more and claim that "it will be different this time".

 

Sportsgamer needs capitalism and accountability.

Imagine buying something online, maybe a pair of jeans you’ve saved up for.
You pay. You get the confirmation. But nothing ever arrives. Weeks turn into months. No product. No refund.

That’s not just bad service, it’s illegal.
You’ve fulfilled your end of the agreement. They haven’t. In legal terms, keeping money without delivering what was promised is fraud. That’s a breach of contract.

Now look at SportsGamer.
They’ve collected player fees, promised prize payouts, and failed to pay winners for months, all while asking for more money for upcoming tournaments.
Even their own statement admits these payments are still pending, and they offer no concrete timeline.

This is not a delay. It’s not “cash-flow challenges.”
It’s taking people’s money under false pretenses, and that’s against the law.

If this happened anywhere else, it would already be under legal investigation.

Simple as that.

For years, this has looked like a scam targeting a community. I truly hope the authorities take a closer look soon. Kenu is traveling the world with money that isn’t his.

But sure, it’s always everyone else’s fault!

I can imagine the damage control behind the scenes.

Press release incoming; "We are sorry for not paying the prize money, it was the governments fault, not our shitty budgeting. We are working to pay for unpaid prize pools (Will not be actually paid). And also, we will not be having transparency because there privacy blah blah blah."

Just searched in google “sportsgamer prize pool winnings promises” 

results “sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit”

NG was amazing when it was a bunch of enthusiasts carrying on the Consolehockey legacy. Once the dollars entered the ring, things went downhill.

Anyways, great to see there are still many people around who are passionate enough to keep the legacy going. Personally I do not have the time to support anymore.
