So, have you ever heard of a tournament organizer called Global Electronic Sports Championship?
No? Well they hosted a few Dota2 Minors last year, haven’t tweeted in 19 months and are reportedly being sued. By Valve. For $750,000. Yeah.
So what did these guys do to get themselves into this trouble?

So what do you think, should I be looking into more issues of late or non payments in esports for Don't @ Me?
How do you forget Die Hard as a Christmas movie?
Investigate for the talent!
This guys genuinely thinks he's funny lol
GabeN pulled his fleet of lawyers
Singapore is a high security base country. So, I'm even surprised that you are even able to request that sheet of paper that contains instructions. ps i'm from Singapore
Mana indo boleh claim.
Your shirt says Pooped Pants 97
If you're working on that report on payment in esports, definitely try to talk to some Smash and FGC people. It's hilarious how bad payment issues are in those worlds sometimes.
You guys are the best esports news source out here thanks for always putting out great content 🙂
Missed you Colin, glad to see you back!
you must have been living under a rock to not know what GESC is, nice journalist
Website for GESC's contact us page doesn't even list any form of contact. I mean one look at it and you know it's shady.
It kind of sad since GESC Indonesia was one of the most excited minor last year
Who also thought of shrek when seeing the title?
Hey it’s the guy from ted
Hey it’s the guy from ted
pls nerf the majestic mustache it's too op
The biggest mystery since the Roswell incident 😀 Seriously, guys, it’s only about unprofessionalism and sloppiness. Obviously, when you work with giants such as Valve, you won't try to cheat. I think the GESC are fools, they've messed up and now try to figure out what to do next.
They wouldn't have moved a finger if it was csgo
Don't mess with Lord Gaben period.
4:37 mad Indonesian in the comments lol
Fnatic and NAVI are shit tier teams.
God you had to use new EG logo.
Steam is robbing their customers by enabling early access games
name the people who do get payed in time in esport
VALVE should look into that
I'd love to see some more ESL videos about the Pollan's branch as they run R6 and how the ESL UK branch was dissolved
Love these type of videos
As if Valve needs the money. They literally pick their noses and make millions
I always wondering, how the event organizer got money while they have to spend money? Sponsor?
If you're not blacklisted by Duncan. He's repeatedly said he follows his morals over good relations with anyone.
We want the admiralbulldog story
Organizations not paying people has existed in esports since day one. Nobody should be surprised about this.
4:38 , instagram comments are basically indonesians telling them to pay up
Please give us russian subtitles)
doobie doobie doobie do do dooooooo
Hey Sinbad is fine. I had a Pastrami while he had a Ruben and I didn't notice till I finished
Gaben is worth like 4 billion dollars
Don't poke the Gaben or a number 3 will appear on your head.
wait… you're telling us to tweet at you in a don't @ me?
