Yeah but it wasn't like someone screenshotted the stream and posted it, it was desrow himself who posted the conversation on reddit lol.

We're in crazy period of transition as SCII is experiencing a lot of growth.
So many teams and players disbanding, reconstructing, going to and from Korea.

I doubt PhoeNix will be the only one in the next couple weeks to jump ships... trying to find some solid ground in such an volatile market...

There are other ways of addressing such issues.

Are we sure that this isn't some misinterpretation of broken english?

We are assuming a lot based on that conversation. I could be interpreted as he is leaving Reign, but it could be something like Pheonix saying "Hey guys I am out for the night, have a good night" and then someone asks "You going to Anahiem?" and his response is "No, I lent my brother some money and he promised to pay me back, but didn't, so I can afford it..."

What I just wrote in quotes makes just as much sense (even more to me) that assuming that he is leaving the team. I think we need to wait for an official statement.

He said on his stream, don't have a screenshot of it, though.

Edit: Oh posted by Desrow himself :D got it.

reign has a really solid lineup as well, i wonder why they would do this.

kiwi/phoenix/slush > most teams out there

edit:

1. didn't see desrow himself posted it, kind of weird but still somewhat okay lol.

2. phoenix says: "im out team" and that's assumed to mean that he's no longer on the team. (says that in the screenshot)

desrow used to be in VT, maybe some bitter feelings towards VT management?

I'm not surprised, Reign doesn't really have a sponsor except for the managements $$$.

If this is true, it would be very disappointing.

This doesn't read to me like he quit the team. It reads like he's done for the night.

I don't see why it would hurt the scene. Reign hasn't done anything in particular yet, its a team that is essentially VT gaming except brand spanking new, Kiwikaki and Fayth has been at the WSOP the past week and a half. None of their players have really competed in anything yet under the name save for the IPL which is prerecorded (not sure how long though).

I wonder why that conversation was leaked though.


Because a team not paying their player is horrible publicity.

Reading this it seems like he left due to Reign breaking agreements but it really is hard to understand, probably best to wait for an answer from Reign, Its a shame if something like this really did happen though, Im a huge fan of phoenix.

this is an occurrence that has happened many times in the history of e-sports
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

I don't know what's worse (not in scale, but in morality):

RGN's "broken promise"
DesRow's deliberate leak out of spite
