Unfortunate Profile Blog Joined May 2010 Canada 130 Posts #1 Greetings Playhemers,



First and foremost we would like to offer our sincerest apologies for our absence and the abrupt suspension of the Playhem Daily tournaments, as well as the intermittent payment withdrawal issues some of our users have been encountering. Above all else, we’re committed to our users and making sure that all players with prize money still on their accounts have every opportunity to withdraw their winnings, and withdrawals should be fully functional at this time. If you’re still having problems withdrawing any prize money please feel free to email us at any time for help. You can email either luka@playhem.com or ben@playhem.com to be taken care of.



As Playhem continues to grow, we’ve always attempted to improve our platform and make our tournaments as fun and fair for everyone, and in carrying on that tradition we’re hoping to relaunch our tournaments in the near future with an entirely new format and structure that we feel will improve the overall success of our events. We don’t have an exact time frame for you yet but we’ll be bring updates to you as soon as we have the details set in stone.



In the meantime we’d like to remind everyone what Playhem is all about, and so we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be bringing you showmatches between some of your favorite players not only from the world of Starcraft 2 but also League Of Legends with full coverage on Playhem TV We’d like to invite everyone to tune in to these events, cheer for your favorite players, and then sit down for a game of Playhem Poker. Details to follow shortly in a separate thread.



We thank everyone for their ongoing support and your patience with us as we go through these changes. We’re looking forward to bringing you more tournaments and events soon.



Signed,

The Playhem Team Manager, Head Admin of Sc2 for Playhem

The tournaments and our absence were due to the restructure, as is our current non-running of events being due to the restructure.

Did you feel that having tournaments EVERY SINGLE DAY brought down the "value" of each one? it definitely seemed like an excessive amount of tourneys... glad to hear you guys are still kickingDid you feel that having tournaments EVERY SINGLE DAY brought down the "value" of each one? it definitely seemed like an excessive amount of tourneys...

No way. What people missed about the daily that it was world class players going against each other every day, twice a day. Some of the now amazing people you know of originated from Playhem or actually were kings of the tournament for a long period. Take for example people like Hyun, Snute, Violet, Revival =).



The value was huge, regardless of viewership, it was a place for people to launch their careers. No way.

Personally, I think it's fine since people knew that there would be something to do for them each day to play and get more experience, while potentially gaining exposure being seen by a team or other organization in our open tournament Personally, I think it's fine since people knew that there would be something to do for them each day to play and get more experience, while potentially gaining exposure being seen by a team or other organization in our open tournament MLG Admin | Astro.631 NA

haha yeah an update would have been best a while ago, especially when it came down to everything just falling silent. Still raises the suspicion of why something wasnt said though, If it was all part of just of a restructure instead of mysteriously just vanishing along with payouts not working at the same time.



Good to finally have an official update though, If all is well looking forward to seeing whats new thats coming up! haha yeah an update would have been best a while ago, especially when it came down to everything just falling silent.

the same way the Phoenix Coyotes and New York Knicks pay their players.



via rich guys who don't care about losing money... they just want to see intense competition.



Hell, the entire Canadian Football League has been losing money for almost 30 years. the same way the Phoenix Coyotes and New York Knicks pay their players.via rich guys who don't care about losing money... they just want to see intense competition.Hell, the entire Canadian Football League has been losing money for almost 30 years.

Either way, great to see that you guys are officially back in action here's to a smooth 2013! Awesome to hear, the tournaments were tons of fun to play. I wondered what happened to then; it was a LONG time with no word whatsoever. I believe you should've at least said something, just a simple tweet "dailies won't run for a while, we're restructuring and improving the system" would've prevented a lot of worrying, and even maybe built up hype.Either way, great to see that you guys are officially back in actionhere's to a smooth 2013!
