He directly linked his time at the club to constant payment delays and described the situation not as a one-time failure, but as a systemic problem that dragged on for months.<\/p>\n
Yes, I received money during this period. But every payment only covered a month that was already overdue, not the current month. So the delay never disappeared, it simply shifted. In the end, it feels as if those eight months as head coach were spent without pay.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n
Why could the potential deal have become so complicated? For a buyer, what matters is not only the brand, roster, and place on the scene, but also the organization\u2019s real financial condition. If debts had accumulated to players, coaches, employees, and partners, then acquiring the club automatically turns not into an investment in a team, but into an attempt to clear old obligations.<\/p>\n
The team continued working despite instability<\/strong><\/h2>\nAnother important aspect of this story is the sporting side. YouKnow emphasized that even under such conditions, the team remained competitive. This changes the perception of the situation: 3DMAX\u2019s results cannot be judged only by what happened on the server, because behind the scenes, it seems, there was a much heavier reality.<\/p>\n
Despite everything, I continued. Because of attachment to the work and the project, yes. But also \u2014 and let\u2019s be honest \u2014 because I did not really have a choice: leaving halfway through would have meant losing everything at once. So you stay, endure, and try to do your job properly.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n
In this context, 3DMAX looks like a club that for some time was held together more by the people inside the system than by a stable organizational base. When coaches and players continue working while the payment situation remains unresolved, it can preserve results in the short term, but in the long term it almost always destroys trust in the project.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/HQK1cmrXAAE64bu.jpg\")

On the contrary, he separately emphasizes that the team had moments that are not visible in dry statistics. This is important, because the story is not only about debts: inside the project, there was work, there were results, and there was belief that the team could keep moving forward.<\/p>\n
Despite everything that happened, what I take from it is that we were competitive. In conditions where nothing was holding together anymore, we produced results above what we could reasonably expect, and we had genuinely good moments. That does not show up in any results list, but it existed.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n
That is why the collapse of the deal with CYRILmp4 looks for 3DMAX not just like a missed chance, but like a symptom of a deeper crisis. The organization had a sporting foundation, had people who continued to carry the project, but if the financial side was not put in order, even a strong media buyer could decide that the risk was too great.<\/p>\n\n
