Christmas is going to look bloody awful for my family if the TOs that hire me donāt start paying.. 5 months, 3 months, sometimes even 6+ months. I wonder how they would feel not being paid monthly...lucky Iām smart with money & keep multiple months rent but this is a piss take

Iām sick to death of worrying, Iām sick to death of chasing people, Iām sick of begging for money that Iāve worked for because they donāt want to pay... imagine if we got paid before the work and then just didnāt turn up? They would never hire us again! Something has to change
Iām a 29 year old man, with enough problems of my own, imagine if the people paying us had to wait this long?!?!?!?
and if I say who it is that owes me, they just wonāt hire me. This is unacceptable and us talent need to work together to fix this seriously!

Itās not acceptable for talent to wait this long but when you donāt get constant work or most big events then itās hard to live like a normal human being. @HenryGcsgo @SPUNJ @Tombizz @MACHINEgg @Pimp_CSGO @Sadokist @Maniac_CSGO @OnFireVince @OnFireAnders @MosesGG letās fix this
For all of those saying call then out, I did that with Unikrn and Iām still owed 10k euros which I will never ever see! Itās disgusting. I wonāt call them out but I want to try create something to solve this with the other talent, we all struggle with this on all levels!!!!
Oh and itās not just talent Iāve heard it from many teams that prize money can take way longer than it should as well. This is a huge issue that needs sorting across the board.
Watch now 2020 I enter retirement and out of esports because these TOs see my tweet and rather than own up and apologise they choose to not hire me because itās easier...this is the problem when you are not at the very top of your field. Iām not trying to make problems Iām just..
Trying to get paid for the work I did, pay my bills and enjoy life. As someone with anxiety and depression it took tons of time and courage + multiple attempts of writing this tweet to even put it out here...rip I guess? Fuck the little guy for trying...
I do my best, I love my work, I thank every TO for the opportunity and work myself into the ground like a lot of other talent do for this but in the end we are just pawns to some of them it seems. Trust me itās not all TOs but this obviously hits home for a lot of talent.
One final thing, the people saying stop whining or get another job. Iāve done been in this industry in some way since 2003, I love this, Iāve given everything to this. Itās not just me & my son, I come from a low income background, never had money, Iām smart with my spending but
A lot goes on in my personal life like looking after family members who have nothing, no income, no support, paying their rent, food etc because they supported me when I was a kid. We come from nothing. All will be revealed in an interview with @TheEsportsDM in December
Has to be said this is not a witch hunt, a few examples are weplay first time working with them, Eden esports only a year into making tournaments over in Malta were both incredible and trying hard always, ESL have always been great to me with family emergencies like dropping...
...out of events two days before or when Harveyās mum was in hospital and I had to take him, Copenhagen Games I canāt fault in any way, itās an honest, brutal but exciting csgo tournament and they look after us great...but the overall message is talent and payment +...
...how itās done needs to change to improve the landscape... letās not start a witch-hunt, I just want to get US talent across ALL games to work together on this wider issue!
Shoutout to ESL & Dreamhack for just reaching out and checking if they had anything outstanding when they donāt :)
