While it's almost the end of the year, there are some unsettled issues between the organizers that spoiled the e-sports scene, especially the economic crunch hits worldwide. Tired of excuses given, the top e-sports team that made up G7 Teams had launch an online petition in order to help fellow e-sports comrades who have prove themselves in the competition but didn't receive anything for their efforts.
Majority of the money came from three competitions, namely Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL), Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC) & GGL / Clanbase.
However, it quite tough to claim back the winnings from these tournament organizers since majority of them has either demised or/and changed owners (as per CPL and ESWC).
G7 Teams also considering other options including boycotting those tournaments until the matter has been resolved. With CPL would be involved in DreamHack Winter 2010 and ESWC qualifiers would kick off from January 2010, time is running out for these organizers.
However, DIP Organization has responded in their press release on 23 November stating this:-
However , in order to prevent more harm and damage to the ESWC image and to maintain coherent the ESWC project and spirit, DIP-Organisation is studying the possibilities to found a way to compensate the last ESWC champions.
Whatever it is, we just hope that this issue would be settled as soon as possible to avoid more damage to the e-sports scene
