If what Jason Lake says is correct then yes, Millenium would have to buy out the rest of Stephano's coL contract.


ESPORTS DRAMA!


That makes perfect legal sense. A player can be "released" from a team on fair terms, but there has to be some sort of reparation. I just don't see how Millennium and compLexity can both part ways on this issue without a sizable sum of money going to one of the organizations from the other, for rights of Stephano. If Stephano's heart is not with compLexity, that is another issue in its entirety, but contracts and legality comes before desire and passion in this case, regardless of what kiddy stories we hear about.

Usually the organization states which country the contract is in. If not it's a poorly written contract. I'd imagine coL uses United States (California) law.

Stephano needs to make up his mind and go with it. Imagine HuK saying, "nahhh, I'll just stay with Liquid, nevermind guys!" after signing his EG contract. SC players => good decision makers. Come onnn stephano

Interesting. I'm very interested in how Millennium can compete with the mighty Complexity moneywise.

I think we need an emergency SOTG for the rest of the night

rofl i think this will hurt both coL and Millenium reputation tough.
At least he got a nice raise with Mill.

The fault lies with Stephano IMO, bad form to change his mind like that

Not taking any side here, but I think backing off from a contract within 14 days even without explanation is valid and even if it would not be the case, the best thing coL could probably do is just accept the wishes of Stephano and let him stay at Millenium because the last thing you want is 'forcing' a player to your team if he doesn't actually want it.

I could understand that they want him to keep his word and stay to what he signed, but in my opinion it would be better to accept that he changed his mind and let him stay at M.

However it goes, glhf. Both teams are great.

Drama is good tho.

He's 18, he is old enough to make decisions himself.



Edit: Turns out he is actually 17.

At most, coL could force Stephano to be arrested in the US for whatever law there is. In Europe, he is virtually untouchable because the french law applies to all french citizen and inhabitants and it's above everything else except the EU Court and the EU parlament.

By default, the "language" of contractual law uses: "THIS CONTRACT WILL ABIDE BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK". I was heavily involved in this field of work for a while, and many multi-billion dollar corporations and their contractual agreements and indebted securities had that exact language in them. Whether the legal differences between California and New York would provide any differences in THIS SPECIFIC scenario, I highly doubt it. But not to digress; you are probably 100% spot-on.

tbf, we don't know if his parents also signed the contract as well, making the Complexity one actually legit. If anything, the Millenium one is the contract he signed underaged without parental signature for sure, seeing as how it happened in less than a day.
