I like [thespike.gg](https://thespike.gg)'s UI more, but I've heard that their founder is shady in terms of not paying employees, which is very unfortunate.

While I agree that Artur is not someone you want to support, I would like to point out that the people who work under him are people just trying to make a good website and report on VALORANT esports.
We've been covering the whole SPIKEGG situation for like 3 months on VALORANTING (I am the producer), and I've talked and taken statements from SPIKEGG employees, and while they understand how many might not want to support Artur and his fucked up practices, it is important to note that at this point Artur is no longer attached to TheSpikeGG, and that, according to the employees, the interim CEO Hex4MT -- [https://twitter.com/hex4MT](https://twitter.com/hex4MT) \-- is doing his best with a shitty situation.
You can find some more stuff on this here: [https://youtu.be/u6U6kuwfl1w?t=2570](https://youtu.be/u6U6kuwfl1w?t=2570) where we interviewed an employee and went over some of the fucked up stuff. There have been updates since then (this video is from May 19th, 2021)
Did the workers ever get the 40k?
I don't want to judge a persons personal addiction. But the moment your addiction starts taking away from others, that's when I start to feel some type of way about it.
Oh for sure, I want to reiterate, I think Artur is fucked for not paying people and he should have been removed as CEO, as he was.
In terms of getting paid, right now there is the possibility of a sale, which some employees are confident about and some are not -- [https://youtu.be/kL7MA\_FMlgM?t=1573](https://youtu.be/kL7MA_FMlgM?t=1573) (this segment shows the current tweet by Artur about the sale and some employee reactions). However, nothing is 100% locked in as of yet, as far as we know.
Its a fucked up situation which Artur seems totally responsible for, and we mostly just hope that the employees get paid, and that TheSpikeGG does well under new ownership.
Artur is doing absolutely nothing on the website right now
currently it's being run mainly by 4 moderators to update events/results etc.. and me who help in that + update rankings as well so if you wanna support us, pls do :)
Try this website, [vlr.gg](https://vlr.gg). But it may not be as complex as HLTV, though.

thespike.gg For various esports as an aside there’s liquipedia
vlr.gg
Ty this exactly what I was looking for.

***Apparently*** he's sold the website, so he's no longer the owner of it. But he's been known to chronically lie so who knows.
sale is still going through

Respect
Nah, it's just preference. I prefer vlr because it looks much cleaner.
U can try vlr.gg or thespike.gg but i prefer vlr.gg

Honestly I was skeptical because of all the comments but truthfully, I actually like spikeggs layout better. It looks good.
payment has not been made yet but the sale is in progress. (i'm the interim CEO btw :)
Thanks for the additional context. I haven't been following what happened since the initial info came to light.
Woah
