My time with aAa (TL;DR at the end of the post)

As some of you might have spotted, I have been working as an analyst for the french organization aAa. Originally I was supposed to jungle for them but since it was none of my interested I was proposed to join as an analyst instead with focus on individual player-skill and also controlling the teams macro-play. My most important task was to guide the young talent Gavan and we quickly started improving in scrims and for the tournaments we attended. Anyhow, the management kept flopping with our scheduled scrims and teampractice, players motivation was low and so the team and the team-enviroment went downhill. The original manager of the team had to step down and so a 17 year old french guy replaced him, "reason: because he had been active in french forums"(no hard feelings towards him, he did his best- but it simply didn't work out).



The team thereafter slowly fell apart and one player at a time quit the game and the best replacements our manager could get us were D5 players that barely even spoke up in voicecoms due to being shy. I desperately reached out to the higher level of aAa management who weren't interested in helping us out at all and after a month or so of working for the team(me having to fill all roles as of what staff consists off) I had enough and decided to part my ways with the so-called "team". As if it wasn't bad enough we did not receive the prizepools and upon asking why we hadn't yet, the excuse was that the money was simply not yet received from the hosters of the tournaments, although the other teams competing in the tournaments already had received theirs. I again tried to reach out to the higher levels of staff in aAa(mainly Flamm, who could only try to calm me down and say it wasn't ready yet) as I saw it as my task for the players to receive the money they had earned(again with no result). A week ago, about 5-6 months late or so, we have finally received the money(still unsure if it is even the correct amount).



The reason as to why I have still been entitled as official analyst of aAa is simply because I was afraid I would never receive a penny if I didn't keep a smile on for the organization. All in all I guess you could say that aAa is an organization way past its prime and I am very dissappointed in how they have treated us as individuals and players.



TL;DR - aAa treated the members like shit, is an unreal shady org and the reason I have called myself analyst for them upon till this date is because I believed I would receive no money if I didn't. Keep away from them :)
