3DMAX Players and Coaches Speak Out About Salary Delays

Several current and former members of 3DMAX have publicly spoken about problems with salary payments. According to them, the organization’s financial difficulties have been ongoing for several months and have had a noticeable impact on the team’s condition and results.

The statements followed a report by French insider Sébastien “KRL” Perez, who claimed that 3DMAX allegedly owes players, staff, and other parties more than €1.5 million.

One of the team’s most experienced players, Bryan “Maka” Canda, said that the constant pressure had seriously drained the roster. According to him, the players continued to give everything in competition, but the situation became increasingly difficult as the problems dragged on.

Former coach Pierre “YouKnow” Marco said that payments were constantly delayed. Each new payment effectively covered the debt from the previous month, meaning the gap never disappeared. In his assessment, eight months of work as head coach ultimately remained almost unpaid.

Current coach wasiNk also confirmed the issues and said they directly affected the team in tense matches. The players understood that poor results could make their financial situation even more difficult, which made the pressure especially high.

It was previously reported that YouTube creator CYRILmp4 had considered acquiring 3DMAX and even signed a preliminary agreement, but later withdrew from the deal.

Amid the uncertainty, Maka appealed to the community and potential partners for support so the team can continue attending LAN events and fighting for Major qualification.
