NACL May Owe Up to $100,000 in Future Prize Money

OnGamers has reported that beleagured League of Legends tournament North American Challenger League is refusing to pay out a speculative $100,000 in prize earnings to future winners of their to-be-announced NACL Season 3 and 4 tournaments.

The League is owned by Brad Fry, the Electronic Lord of House Fry, and is under heavy scrutiny by onGamers, for refusing to pay their Season One and Two prize money.

A source that wished to remain anonymous, told ESEX, “I was told that our team would be invited to NACL Season 3 and we would likely finish third, but we haven’t received any of the money yet.”

“This situation is unacceptable; something shady is going on,” said projected Season 4 winner LMQ’s AD carry Li “Vasilii” Wei-Jun. “Tournaments should not be delaying payment to future winners for several months before the season starts.”

“The NACL committed a cardinal sin by acting in a manner contrary to the information in our article,” said video game hipster and perennial gun jumper Rod “Slasher” Breslau. “We’re not saying our article forced them to pay the day after, but that’s exactly what we’re saying.”

In response, NACL put out a press release that was very long and contained several screen shots which presumably exonerated the league. Unfortunately, the article was not sensationalist enough for us to read it.

Additionally, NACL plans to launch a gambling website titled NACLBet, which pits random NACL teams against one another for fans to bet on. Ironically, the website is extremely popular among onGamers staff, especially when it began paying out in vote-manipulated Reddit karma instead of actual money.

The NACL has released a statement saying that they plan to pay Season 3 and 4 winners a day after onGamers writes another article about them.

onGamers has declined to comment further on the issue. Riot Games declined to comment on the situation. Chinese President Xi Jinping and S.H.I.E.L.D. executive director Nicholas J. Fury also declined to comment.
