and other players from the original UK League.
I got a prompt reply from Joachim at eSL, (there`s a first )
Apparently, the payout for the 1st League should be paid in the next 4-5 days.
Better late than never I suppose.

yeah just heard,,it seems that they are paying out 1st place to RedAces who actually finished 2nd so it isnt hopeful that we will get our true winnings as champions so we will end up with half of what we actually won,,
a really bum deal from e-sport

[Breadfan]

we just got ours, and all the payments are different, and short.
We only had 4 active players, and not 1 of us has even got a quarter of the team amount.
Something rotten here.
They should have sorted out the positions a long time ago too, not fair on you or the Red Aces.

and the poor sods in the Royal Flush team, who only missed qualification from the group stages, when Poker Room crashed again, and the round never got rescheduled.

[teaulc]

the payouts are like this:

50% is shared between the team players which includes any sitouts you had then the other 50% is based on matches played........

we as cvg poker champions are well narked as we had a non player who got put in the 1st game and he got over $200 for nothing ....well pissed off,so i am having to spend money on phone calls to them tomorrow as they will not answer my emails

That`s shocking.
With all the problems Poker Room had, only 1 player was able to play every leg.
The next highest was 5 games, he and the rest had the dubious honour of logging on and watching themselves being blinded out.
How the hell they expect us to swallow money being siphoned off, to reward people who never registered to play, never played, never answered any attempts to contact them is beyond me, and everybody else.
This was a team event, and the team should be rewarded as a whole. This was made very clear to the organisers from the start, when we insisted on an equal share for a player who did everything in his power to play, and only system faults stopped him from doing so.

Unless they sort out this latest fiasco, I can be pretty certain that, if they run it again, it will be a German only tournament, I can`t see any UK team wanting to take part in such a farce.
