OK, I don't know why the original thread needed to be deleted. The changes to that OP is cosmetic, may be a little bit substance wise. Coach Lee doesn't look as pathetic, because he apparently didn't beg to live with oGs for free. OK, that may be important for Coach Lee's pride, but it's pretty much unimportant for me, as a fan.
He may not have recorded his conversation with Spunky. Again, this is a minor thing, may be he actually did.
The big things that show Coach Lee as a sneaky bastard are still there.
I am a bit disappointed that Rekrul didn't expand on Monstery's post on PlayXP. "It's very inaccurate"? Like how? What's the real story. Don't backtrack now, please.

Meh, and to think I made a comment in the previous thread commending Rekrul's credibility and accuracy. Regardless, props on being a good person and admitting those corners you cut in your initial post.

Old boys club around here I guess. I don't see how the few minor details he cleaned up completely make his previous post as something to disregard. One point was essentially not using the word desperate -_- . Another was obviously speculation in the original if you read into the post well enough (the camera part), but people were taking it to be fact. The last is just clearing up the extent of how malicious people make Lee out to be. The ultimate point of his post is still relevant. Lee jacked players from oGs, later publicly causes drama and accuses teams of jacking his players. I agree that the core of his post still stands, but the (wrong) minor details can also be very deadly. If you were in a maths exam and had "10.3" (wrong answer) written in the final answer box instead of "1.03" (right answer) even though your entire working out on the same pieces of paper pointed to the answer being "1.03", you're still gonna be marked wrong.
seriously? this isn't math, it's a judge of someones character.

someone getting sued? i hope not 
(i thought you could sue someone if this person damages your image so much that you loose money)
|
lesson learned here should be
dont talk out the side of your neck folk, espically when you have an audience
|
Been trying to think of a more intelligent reply to the people hating on Rekrul for not being a journalist, but screw it -- thanks for the original post and the clarification. I think you did the right thing by sharing what you knew and then clarifying that you found out some of the extreme parts were just speculation. Still says a lot about Coach Lee in all the TSL drama.
|
dammit, i had my pitchfork and pyre set up ----_____________----,,,, ;;;;;____;;;;; but seriously rek, thanks for the clear up. On another note, this still doesn't change the fact that Lee in essence took members by poaching and is now crying about that, which doesn't change the main point of your OP.

The facts about what went down with Lee poaching the players and Spunky confronting them and Lee remained consistant and other pro-gamers came out in that thread and said that they also knew about it. Alright I'm done, no more time wasting at work lol ..........I'm not saying otherwise too. I'm not questioning the core of his message, but the fact whether he should have posted what he posted with information he heard "through the grapevine". Straw man arguments isn't the way to go here.
I agree with you. The exaggeration was a bit much. I personally didn't take those parts seriously though, hope the same goes for the majority.

Honestly having translated that and recieiving it's inaccurate makes me confused as hell XD
Clarification are wanted everywhere Mr Rekrul

Well, all I'm wondering is WHY rekrul posted this "apology".
He wouldn't do this without stimuli.

FFS, I said in my reply that you initially quoted that I agree he shouldn't have put in that stuff. Quit arguing with me!! We are saying the same goddam thing.

He has honor.
The people in the 'know' say Lee is actually a dick and is quite shady.

Congratulations guys, you got all hyped up on the very drama you abhor and made yourselves all out to be idiots. TL can be such a childish place sometimes..
All this team/player drama bullshit needs to find a nice hole to crawl into where it can't bother the rest of us who are interested in the game of starcraft and not high school gossip.

Hmmm... Rekrul, I <3 ya because you're like the old man of E-sports around here these days. You usually tell it like it is but this completely changes the whole tone of the story. I'm a bit disappointed in you.

I feel like I know Coach Lee and he is anything but a dick or shady... He's a hardworking guy who overreacts a little when people do things he perceives as wrong or disrespectful. You can't blame him for being so invested in what he does.

I am guessing he made changes to his story and deleted the old thread because apparently you can be sued in Korea for misinformation on internet.
Coach Lee being into blackmailing and just being a shady bastard, I can see him suing Rekrul

owell. tsl is still going down nomatter what.

A Rekrul apology thread, welp I guess TL is finally growing up. Next time don't exaggerate unsubstantiated shit while having a TL admin tag next to your name because people actually believe in you. Good call on deleting the previous thread.

Those 3 points really made Coach lee like a villain in one of those ridiculous soap operas, sure nothing has changed in this situation but those 3 points really made a bad impact on the perceptions of Coach Lee's character.

I don't nessecarily agree with what Lee did but I can't say that he did anything legally or ethically wrong. OGS had an "open" house and no player contracts from my take. So he just took advantage of the oppurtunity as did the players. No blame should fall squarely on his shoulders as ultimately the players decided to join TSL, no one forced them. legally wrong no ethically wrong yes.
I still can't really see how Lee is at fault. I would lay the blame on the players but maybe that is cause I am a fan of free business competition and protecting your products with contracts and copyrights. No contract, no recourse, no wrongdoing by Lee is my take.
