SK Gaming manager Anton Budak has played down the critiques made by fnatic and Rasmus "GuX" Stahl.
Stahl and fnatic had claimed that one of the reasons which led to the player's unhappiness at SK Gaming was the fact that he had not received any salary or his share of the team's winnings.
Budak says it was Stahl's own fault for this situation, as he affirms that it is SK's policy not to pay their players unless they are legally tied down to the organisation by contracts.
"Gux had a contract lying at home for five months but refused to sign it. We told him to sign it and send it to the SK offices so he could get his salary and his prize money, but he didn't. He answered that he didn't trust SK," Budak told rakaka.se.
"We don't pay salaries if the players don't sign their contracts, that's the way it's handled everywhere. I could easily triple his pay if he wanted to, but loyalty and team spirit (his words, actually) are more important to me than being the best team in the world."
The SK manager also criticized fnatic's handling of the case, saying they started disturbing the player with an offer to return right after the ESWC finals.
"The fact that fnatic made Gux leave SK the day the team leaves for Arbalet Dallas is completely unprofessional. To even offer him a place in the lineup the day before we leave for Dallas must mean they are scared of us," Budak said.
"We were feeling everything was going well and they were feeling bad after their latest efforts; I do not think they could handle that. Luckily for us, we feel even more motivated now and we're counting the days until we can meet them in a game.
"I will not go into names, but that a fnatic player consistently rushed Gux by calling him daily right after they placed bad in two tournaments in a row is also rotten. It wouldn't be a problem if Gux came after Arbalet and told me he wanted to leave, but to do this just one day before the tournament is just wrong."
Budak also questioned Stahl's reason to depart fnatic in January, only to return to the team half a year later, saying: "People speculated about why he left fnatic; he wanted to study, he wanted to become a fireman and so on, but it's simple: he didn't feel comfortable in the team. He didn't hang out with the fnatic guys during tournaments and it was obvious that he felt that way when he chose to leave fnatic for SK."
oh right, maybe thats why i dont find it funny.. usually at this time, im high so.. :)

Not all people here are idiots you know. Your history already speaks for itself. Stop making excuses and do the right thing for once.
SK has gone down hill as an organization the past few years.
Its also funny that SK is crying because fnatic got GuX a day before they left to Dallas. But if you are not contracted to player why should he come? budak is budak, I wouldn't trust him.
More dramas.
Sam / Gux said that he hasn't gotten any salary from the SK-organisation for the past two months.
Budaks then states that the SK-organisation doesn't pay salaries if players haven't signed their contracts, which Gux has (according to Budak himself) been lying at his home for over five months. Unsigned. = five months without salary.
Quote from Sam Mathews:
"There was also the issue that Gux had not received salary for the previous two months"
Wheres the logic in this? Why did Sam / Gux only mention two months of unpayed salary and not five?
I think theres something funny is going on over at SK HQ

They were perfectly aware that Gux hadn't signed their contract and they were using it to their own advantage. Hypothetically, if Gux had gone to Dallas, SK and if they had won and if Gux had still wanted to go to fnatic, I bet that he wouldn't have received a dime of the prize money.
This just comes off to me as SK trying to clear the name, whereas I still see them as the scumbags in this scenario.
GL SK ;)
<3 Gux, but like Budak says: "... but to do this just one day before the tournament is just wrong."
Sk just can not handle the fact that there is someone with even bigger balls arround there turf. With that attitude of SK i hope there going down pretty soon and as hard as possible.
SK as a company, can't declare that they spent money paying an employee when that employee doesn't work for them (since he doesn't have a contract with them). Not sure how it works in Sweden, but here the only way he could be payed was for him to be "self-employed" and work as a service provider for SK, but that would complicate certain things, specially when dealing with taxes, and social benefits. They could also pay him "under the table", but that would probably be considered illegal.
Also since he didn't had a contract, the amount he would get from tournament wins was not established, and since the prize money is usually given to the organizations and not the players, again SK couldn't just simply give him the money.
The bottom line here is that companies need to justify and document where they spend their money, and without a contract there was no way that they could justify the money given to Gux, even tough it seems like they paid him 3 months of salary.
I think Gux is the one to blame here, he was either being lazy/irresponsible and procrastinating the contract signing, or he didn't wanted to be tied to the organization in case something went wrong, or something better showed up (which is seems to be the case). But when you don't honor your commitments with the company you work for, you can't expect them to do the same. They are running a business after all, so a certain level of professionalism is expected from both parts.
just saying. not taking any sides here
If they gave him the money under the table, SK would risk having a finances audit, or it could be seen as an attempt of money laundry or tax fraud/evasion. This is the sort of things that all companies want to avoid.
In fact i suspect that the money he got the previous months was payed directly by someone in the SK organization, and not with the the companies money.

-robban, you mean :))
tentpole > face
zet 60% - 40% face
means also i think zet >> face [if ma maths is not bad then ] :P xD
noway
I mean, which person in the right mind wouldn't sign a contract upon joining a professional team? It doesn't make any sense to me.
"The fact that fnatic made Gux leave SK the day the team leaves for Arbalet Dallas is completely unprofessional."
it's just f*cked up...who will replace gux now?
maybe some ex-mym??
hope delpan :P 2 top awper's on sk... sick line-up :P
I would call that just as unprofessional.
Next episode right after some short commercial break ;)
www.pacersdigest.com/apache2-default/images/smilies/popcorn.gif
it's not that I'd care that I missed it, it's just a big story which seems to have stirred up the scene in only 3 days :P
Tentpole left due to payment problems: www.hltv.org/news/2710-tentpole-released-after-pay-row
They had problems paying HeatoN and co. back in 2004 before they left to reform NiP.
I don't know what to believe.
But then again SK why use a player when he doesnt sign the contract...

bad bad sk :/
Basicly Gux is kinda stupid for not signing a contract, even if he didn't trust them i believe SK would be professional enough to set up another, more suitable contract.
Where is the logic in that ?
why should he leaves fnatic to join sk and play without a salary? if he he didn't felt comfortable in fnatic, why would he re-join now? something is veryyyyy strange here...
First of all, why would SK accept any player to play under their name without any contract and also pay him a salary for 3 months. And why after that they decided to stop to pay Gux salary?
Now, after not paying him for 2 months, SK still expecting Gux loyalty? who in the right mind would do that? wasting time for no money?
And when Gux decided to go back with fnatic, they blame him and call him unprofessional? [I wonder why they call him unprofessional, since they did not own him under a professional contract]. But yes its unethical, if u see it on SK views. How about if u see it on Gux PoV?
oh, and about the statement that fnatic scared of SK, OMG this is hilarious. Isnt SK who scared that they would achieve nothing without Gux?
So my advice to be cleared from all charges SK, show us the fu**ing contract for god's sake!
Gux didn't trust them so he didn't sign the contract & without signing he won't be paid ... (legal thing).
So why did fnatic raised the point of not paying salary to gux even tough fnatic knew that gux isn't under any contract with SK
?
?
?
imo fnatic is trying to cover this.
"I will not go into names, but that a fnatic player consistently rushed Gux by calling him daily right after they placed bad in two tournaments in a row is also rotten. It wouldn't be a problem if Gux came after Arbalet and told me he wanted to leave, but to do this just one day before the tournament is just wrong."
& hope they both show their anger In-game rather than giving statements.

the 2009 fnatic team has spoiled f0rest and he was begging GuX to return , now the return of one of the best lineups is brought back .. its up their with the great SK lineup , NoA , old mTw lineup and the current Na'vi dreamteam .
Can you imagine Walle and RobbaNs face when they heard the news ? OUCHhhhh
can't wait till SK vs fnatic
D13 P15 SK
Fnatic FTepicW. Nice move GuX! GL
it's not like allen, walle, robban, or face are complaining about getting paid because they have CONTRACTS that are signed
what did GuX expect, to get paid under the table?
SK will be more motivated and will be better with moddii imo
i'm not an SK fan or a fnatic fan, but i hope SK keeps moddii and they fucking roll fnatic

In a way a feel like this is payback. SK have gayed over so many 5ths in the last year or so.
fantastic fnatic, fantastic f0rest, fantastic Gux.. keep up the good work..
and why would SK pay him if he didnt sign the contract? they payed his trips i assume.. and from 5 players, only him claims money from SK, isnt it a little bit weird? Gux, u lost all my respect, i wont ever support u or any of ur team.. u were the player that i wanted to see more, best player in the world imo, but u disappointed me, big time..
GL SK, ADD DELPAN PLS!!
to be honest i really would've hoped they would add delpan... dsn is known to make damage with rifles.. so it would be be a great addition... or even xizt...
now i just SK to add Delpan and walle to stick to m4/ak.. that would nice..
ps. niko plays a hell of an awp these days... and fyrrte was one of the players i always liked in a team...
so sk should add delpen that's it :)
nevertheless, i would go with delpan..
i wish him the best with SK in dallas... "you can take him out of the hood, but can't take the hood out of him"... hahhahaha a little reference... altough i still hope he is going to change :)
delpan needs to get a spot NOW!!!
manne Delpan FYRR73 kHRystal > MODDII
they are just making my day

I think it's totally bullshit that he goes into why he left fnatic in the first place. I really doubt Gux had problems with the guys from fnatic as he wish to join them again. He just needed a break.
GuX is unhappy with his salary at fnatic
GuX decides to leave
GuX joins SK
GuX knows he can create drama by not signing the contract and make SK withhold salaries
GuX plays with SK and shows fnatic they need him back
fnatic contacts GuX
GuX is grinning HIS PLAN WORKED
GuX is tricking fnatic into creating this whole deal that is going on right now
GuX joins fnatic and gets a better salary
GuX is the greatest troll in eSports history.
...GuX is tricking fnatic into creating this whole deal that is going on right now
GuX is geting owned because fnatic realy only wanted him to leave SK in which they succeeded
GuX then realize that no team want him anymore because he is making drama like this everyhere
GuX settle down in a sea urchin business... :D
Yes, he didn't sign the contract (based on Budak's statement). Yes, it's legal for SK not to pay his salary, but the question is where's the ETHIC? Where's the MANNER? Where's SK management's CONSCIENCE?
If you own a company and you have a guy working hard for you day and night and without a contract, do you honestly think he deserves to be treated in a way that "Oh you don't have a contract with us, sorry we don't have to and we can't pay you." Of course you can act that way if you're an a**hole.
And just for you guys know, the nature of contract doesn't always have to be in the form of paper and ink, there's also a verbal contract which I believe exist between GuX and SK.
He HAS the contract, it is in his physical possession, it is up to HIM to sign it and send it in, in order to receive payments.
There most likely is a verbal contract involved, it doesn't take much to form a legally binding contract but I'm pretty sure that this contract did not specify compensation in great detail and if it did I am pretty sure a sentence along the lines of "As soon as the written contract is signed, we'll start paying your salary." was spoken by one of SKs managers.
Even though if he didn't sign the contract, that doesn't mean he didn't deserve his 5-month salaries. He deserves it as he helped SK get 2nd place at ESWC.
It's just SK didn't want to pay him because of 'legal' reason.
"I am pretty sure a sentence along the lines of "As soon as the written contract is signed, we'll start paying your salary." was spoken by one of SKs managers."
You can't be sure since you weren't there when the verbal agreement was made. It could happen either way.
And based on Tentpole case, I think it's more likely they didn't tell him that specific condition.
While it is true that I can't be certain about the existence or the contents of a verbal contract I am assuming with a fair amount of confidence that a company that has such (standard) policies like the contract-policy is covering these basic legal safety measurements to ensure that nothing is happening that can hurt them.
And even if they did not tell him that condition, it has to be in the written contract which GuX had in his possession. Even if he did not want to sign it, he should at least have read it thoroughly to understand what it was the was refusing to sign.
Even if he did not, it's his fault for letting it come to 5 months without a signed contract. He could've done that within the same day of receiving the contract.
insteaad of making a drama, makes you wonder where is his BRAIN! so obviously this was a smart move by gux, trolling everyone involved, congratulations to him, what a tragic dramaqueen he is,..
new IMBA SK lineup: face, manne, Delpan, moddi and maybe kHRYSTAL/xizt! that team woud kick ass!
GuX 4 President!
Now esports speaking, GuX u suck! :D
and would decide to make them pay him equally and create some leverage , plus it sucks when your boning your teammates Girlfriend and have to travel the world along with him lol..
Gux didnt sign an agreement because he didnt want to be locked down to a team, especially if he knew Fnatic would ask him 'soon'.
Because he had no agreement, he could leave SK whenever he wanted. If SK took a harder stance and 'forced' ALL their players to sign contracts before they compete, then their is no way that he could 'legally' walk out of SK the day before a competition.
He should of been made to sign before he even tagged up.
I just hope whatever problems caused him to leave the first time, have now somehow fixed themselves.
GuX being smart and knowing a contract could keep him away from being a free agent(a year at least) if he ever wanted to swap teams or didn't feel SK was working out right he would have no choice but to stick to them.
imo GuX is just smart and SK handles their players very poorly.
but hey, enough pointing fingers. I wanna see how SK bounces back or if they bounce back at all lol
Fnatic wanted Gux, they got him.
Gux wanted Fnatic and he was playing without salary at SK, well he got Fnatic and will be paid as well.
SK had Gux playing for them for free for last couple of months. He was their best player and he wasn't getting paid. So SK made a profit from him and according to them Gux didn't trust them so if he's going out SK should be happy to get rid of a guy who doesn't trust them.
It looks to me like it turned out well for everyone.
THATS ALL I DO
I DONT GIVE A FUCK
- Rasmus "GuX" Stahl.
but,MORALLY,the sk are behaving like b*tches.
their plan is that:hey,Rasmus,you dont contract to us,good,we gonna use you as a worker FOR FREE.you worked ,and when you asked 4 salaries and prize,NO,coz i would ask you 4 contract which you can NOT offer.
and sk came to bite them:
fnatic instigated Rasmus not to work for us another tournerment.
and they didnot mentioned the fact Rasmus was working for free.
well,well,no more words about this sh*t.
sk big fail this time.
Gux didnt sign the contract so he can leave without any problems. whats the matter ?
SK's management should have acted more professional and give him a deadline. If he doesnt sign he wont play. easy imo..
Hope moddii will stay in SK, so SK can dominate again (again, not AGAiN!) :)
dsn
robban must be still on contract, otherwise he would have been cut long time ago...
Fnatic on top again!
Gux may not be the best player, but he can get
very important kills when the team depends on him.
lulz
anyway talking about lineup changes in this thread is worse than trolling.

Who had a contract but still got kicked by SK when SK have 1 year salary debt on him.Loser deserve that 4 men situation.
Besides Gux does not have a contract,he can do whatever is best for him.Sk is the one talking about contract 1st,now they get that back.
As early as on ESWC, dsn asked Gux if he was interested in rejoining his old teammates. This was not an impulse action from Gux's side.
True, taking kHRYSTAL & face from H2k few days before WCG was just wrong.
gux' story contradicts itself in my opinion...i mean, if he "doesn't trust" the SK organisation, then why the hell didn't he sign his contract, which secures him legally?
but then again, the SK management didn't do any better. they probably knew exactly that they couldn't pay gux legally while he wasn't under a contract, so they did the next best thing and let him play for free.
the ironic thing is that each party claims something that they simply have no right of claiming.
on sk-gaming's side that means, they want him to play for them, but refuse to pay him, while gux wants to be paid while refusing to sign his contract.
so my guess is that he wanted to keep his options open, instead of being tied to SK for at least 12 months.
the real losers of this "battle" are his teammates which do not start into arbalet cup as prepared as they should be. hopefully this motivates them to no end for the upcoming events! :>
why do you need a contract then? Well played, but It's over now
Oh It's oon, IT'S SO OOON!!! :d

i guess i can understand gux not wanting to sign the contract, but i also understand sk not wanting to pay a player that isnt under contract and can just leave the team when he wants to.
moddii is not stand-in ? :D

gux sux
Like in Real life, everyone has his price
he is a child and doesnt even deserve to called a "man"
1st if he like so much fnatic,and back @ 2009 when they rocked,why did he left?
he got to sk,"loved" hes m8s,then backstabing everyone,not signing a contract , a contract tha would ensure HIS MONEY,instead he plots with fnatic with sk's back,letting them with 4 man roster last time,and taking 3.000
trust me he is gonna regret it,1st he loses to much money,if we take account and sum it up...2ndary and MOST IMPORTANT,is that when u do dirty business,no one trust u,and that goes also for fnatic....
whats up fnatic faggots?started to loss and did whatever needed to get gux back?i BET that they will not play as good as back at 2009....
u all say that sk gaming ar thieves not playing their players,well,let me say it to you another words....WALLE,walle is on the cs scene since...FOREVER,robban to,if thoose 2 became free agents,i dont believe that it would take them longer than 1 week to find anothar orga//team...why they stay?WHY ARE THEY DEVOTED?
is it random that sk gaming has decent teams to ALL the GAMES?(@ eswc how many "sk-gaming" went to final?)
let me tell u whats happening...fnatic were always loosing from teams like mtw,pgs(ex-mym neo and co) etc.
then they god this SUPER DUPER LINEUP with gux,then they lost it,and since then they cried so loud that thwy would do everything possible to take gux again...
so
gux childress and immaturity//inresponsibility//stupidity
+fnatic luck that gux hasnt got a signed contract
+ sk gaming being fools for trusting that faggot
= gux on fnatic...SO WHAT?
sk prolly gonna take moddi,delpan,or zet or whatever,at least they might dont get #1 at tours,but are always on top of them,not getting out by group stages etc.
hope to lose at gamegune and every lan event u attend ...thx
No explaination.GO.
Good luck! <3
but if spawns and heaton returns,then fnatic is going NOWHERE,yes i respect thoose 2..bad they are 2 old for this,and theyre style will probaply be 2005 cs,so,fnatic = lose if this happens
GO GO GO fnatic u guys ROCK .
First Tentpole, then Zet (the "flight" issue) and now Gux. And when GeT_RiGhT was on SK, he wanted to leave because he couldn't get along with the team.
Something wrong is happening there. Someone is lying..
PS.And I'm really sorry for my english.
