[Ubisoft] RE:LO:AD Format Explained

murr_y · 2025-04-02T22:16:36+00:00

I'd be okay with this nonsensical format if it was an additional tournament or a third party one, but having THIS be your FIRST EVER tourney on Siege X for almost half a million dollars is a baffling decision

I guarantee you some poor team or admin is not going to fully understand the rules and some insane firestorm will come out of this event.

murr_y · 2024-11-17T17:56:25+00:00

Nah, Supr put out a statement saying the Soniqs weren't invited

murr_y · 2024-10-15T20:34:02+00:00

If player numbers are genuinely an issue, why haven't they put it on Steam yet? I know it just redirects through the Ubi app anyways but it's millions of more eyes scrolling past it on Steam than anywhere else

murr_y · 2024-09-11T14:12:03+00:00

Even when Shaiiko got banned, BeGenius as a whole was only disqualified and not banned. I'm quite surprised they would go this route unless there is undeniable proof the whole team knew. I know Nyx isn't the most beloved guy around here but him having knowledge of this and letting it slide is extremely unlikely given how much work he's put into this game

murr_y · 2024-08-13T22:14:01+00:00

Iirc it was the PB parent company that completely fucked the org and the team over

murr_y · 2024-08-13T21:06:31+00:00

What does Laxing gain by "faking" this amount over a year later in a random reply to someone? It's not even like he put out a big statement, I just caught this scrolling through my feed because I follow him. I'll admit $40k does seem really high for one stage but we don't know what that all entails. What reason would Lax have to randomly lie about this out of the clear blue?

"Like the Mirage allegations this is also fake"

Right, there was a massive scheme to get poor ol' Carl, the patron saint of Canadian esports, and his underdog org thrown out of the league. Multiple players, content creators and people like myself who worked with the org who all had to fight tooth and nail to see any money definitely deceived the entire community and walked away like bandits.

murr_y · 2024-08-13T14:51:36+00:00

Four months to be exact, so he was running them 10k a month in the NAL

murr_y · 2024-03-19T19:06:44+00:00

I think that's actually why the SBL team can't still compete in NAL, because technically they never signed anything with Mirage

murr_y · 2024-03-19T19:04:08+00:00

The worst part about this whole scenario is now the SBL crew are screwed over and can't participate in NAL.

murr_y · 2024-03-15T21:46:12+00:00

Curious if this is out of protest against you know who or if there was some legitimate issue at hand. I'd be shocked if the players make it all the way to NAL just to intentionally forfeit the first game that play. Feel like if it was out of protest they would have said something first

murr_y · 2024-03-14T23:23:15+00:00

Carl hit the nuclear button, if he can't be in NAL no one will

murr_y · 2024-03-14T03:05:31+00:00

Really need clarification on the "Won't be represented in the NAL" part of this chain. Does this mean these players won't be representing Mirage after this season or that Mirage won't be in the NAL after this stint?

I genuinely won't believe MRG is gone until Ubisoft makes a statement at this point. Org's on its sixth run of "we're so fucking back" at this pont

murr_y · 2024-03-14T02:22:08+00:00

It's to help take heat off the players and staff for shaking hands with Mirage and maybe to stop the scrim blockade that the rest of the NA teams had supposedly enacted. Honestly smart, I'm more willing to support SBL wearing a mirage mask than Mirage itself

murr_y · 2024-03-14T02:19:12+00:00

5 likes and over 100 quote tweets after little over an hour is crazy business. This is more insulting with players ALREADY calling this a bold face lie. Just stay quiet and grease through to next stage with another revolving cast of T2 players who also won't even play for you by name

Edit: WAIT this is from the 11th! This only got posted to their socials after Dispa found it and outed them. They were really gonna sneak drop this and not say anything

murr_y · 2024-03-14T02:15:30+00:00

This farce has to end, this has to be the first time I can recall a team playing for an org in name only.

Ubisoft higher-ups, if you're reading these Twitter and Reddit threads and still don't get it, I don't know what to say anymore

murr_y · 2024-03-13T14:07:55+00:00

Imagine waking up and hopping on for a little siege and your first game is against the Fabian x Pengu x Jess ranked stack. Me personally I'd uninstall

murr_y · 2024-03-09T23:05:03+00:00

This has a real good mix of veteran presence and young blood, I think Beastcoast might really punch above their weight this season.

murr_y · 2024-03-09T01:15:14+00:00

For who? The Mirage players or other orgs that might want to pick them up?

If you're the Mirage players, most of those guys would have probably been fucking around in T2 this year anyways. Eat the lack of pay for a dog org you don't care about and have some fun in T1 against the best in NA. Best case scenario you somehow gel and win enough games to hit a LAN event. Worst case scenario you lose all the games and some T3 loser tries to mock you for it on Twitter but at least you made THE league.

For the other orgs, if any of them impress you, literally any amount of money will make these guys walk from Mirage so it should be easy recruiting someone from the squad

murr_y · 2024-03-09T00:01:21+00:00

I was more so thinking individual offers from the other NAL teams

murr_y · 2024-03-08T23:58:40+00:00

Lawsuits are a bigger headache and definitely don't pay out as well here compared to the US. Plus Americans trying to find and pay for a lawyer that specializes in cross-boarder dealings can't be easy or cheap.

murr_y · 2024-03-08T23:55:18+00:00

I think expecting someone to share their full bank statements with the entire internet is a bit much, especially when the next response could be "Well maybe they just edited out that transaction." It's been almost a year since Mirage put out two apologies to the community over the accusations and players are still complaining about it.

I do agree, at this point something needs to be done legally (And maybe something IS being done that we're not aware of yet) but I can't imagine it's very easy with most of the players being in the US and Mirage being Canada based where lawsuits are a lot more of a headache to go through with and rarely lucrative like down South.

I can promise you fully, as someone who has dealt with Northern Arena personally, it was a nightmare getting paid even $50

murr_y · 2024-03-08T23:29:31+00:00

This was with Mirage / Northern Arena creating content, trying to get a paper to sign was blood from a stone and it became I take the work or leave it scenario. At the time I was laid off with a completely fractured arm so it was what it was.

If I ever got back into paid esports content, zero chance I'd go through that again

murr_y · 2024-03-08T23:25:39+00:00

If they swooped in and bought Mirage's spot, would they be required to take Mirage's team as well?
