ESWC has been finished, but team-aaa.com now reports that the subcontractors during the French qualifiers, namely Reseau Local, INSA Lan and Leni France, still haven't received the paycheck they were promised.

“We held a meeting between exhibitors, we were promised an event with 50,000-80,000 people and in the end there were only 3,000. This is not honest ”
ESWC may have financial problems as they now seem to be having problems paying they partners. team-aaa.com reports that Reseau Local were promised a paycheck that had been sent on May the 21st, but they still haven't received it, now, more than a month later. After chats with the partners of ESWC, HLTV.org reports that there's a losing interest working with ESWC as they're not keeping their promises.

The new partner a mystery?
ESWC announced before the event that they had a contract with a new major partner, and the partner would be announced during the ESWC finals. However, no new sponsors were revealed during the event. HLTV.org reports that they were told during the event that the partner would be announced during the ending ceremony, but when the lights were down and the event was over, the partner was still a mystery.

The winner of the fragmovie contest and $5,000 was also said to be announced on the final day of the event, but no winner was announced.

ESWC not responding when contacted
Both Reseau Local and HLTV.org have tried to contact the ESWC administration for closure, but both with no luck so far. ESWC has expenses on a total of $213,500 along with the money they owe from the 2008 event, and if this money isn't handed out by September, including the prizes for the players, G7 will act in.
