These stories paint a Puppey that has lost his Dota passion and is abusing his established position to make a comfortable living.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Well not all that unexpected after KKY, N0tail, and Fly were not getting paid long ago, while PPY all seemed happy and content.

He has a reputation for getting a little angry at times, but he's not some kinda horrible person, far from it.

The video is definitely not a good sign, but it's also not some sort of undeniable proof of that he is a monster.

i've seen threads on pokerforums where winning players smash their monitor on a weekly basis or completely trash their table. if puppey did that once it's barely worth mentioning although obviously funny to watch.

the community is overreacting as usual, the delayed payment sucks and should be called out. calling for puppeys head/banning secret from tournaments is fucking retarded.

I think that outside the context of the situation, it is also related to how opposite it is of the public image of PPY, who has always come off as this calm and collected guy, even in stressful situations.

If this was like say, Ar1se, I think people would expect this, and shrug at this part.

Everyone is forgeting that puppey lied about breaking it and when EE said he had video evidence he told him that if he shawed it he would get kicked out of secret.

I don't think the lie is of essence, but the reveal of a conflicting and detrimental image of PPY.

"The scariest moment in my time with secret was during our practices, when Puppey would walk around with a machete and talk about how he always wanted to see what the inside of a human looked like. He said he had experimented on animals before and he wanted to go for the real thing. I believed him."

I don't think people forget what EE has told us. Regardlessly, it is not something that someone who thrives on his public image would want, and it now surfaces 1½ years later, rather than being caught in a lie. I don't think the threat was about the lie, but the public image.

I think that the reason EE said this is not to prove that puppey rages a lot but to talk about how he was threatened by him.

The essence is not the lie, but the reveal of a lesser endearing image of PPY. I am sure the threat was part of why EE said it, both to reveal the lengths that PPY would go to to protect his image, but also his personality.

One thing that really feels funky is the 3 other sponsors (100TB, Nvidia, and EGB). I can understand that 1 of those sponsors didn't pay anything, but non of them paying anything..... I mean c'mon, puppey got his face on nvidia products.

There must have been money coming in. Then again. The players haven't made any deals about getting sponsor money so... kinda hard to say is there even any reason to flame about that. Lot of this is also to blame on secret players for not getting any contracts done. Kind of a clusterfuck.

about these oral contracts, tell that to fifa, oral contracts at the end mean nothing and from the transcripts, both kemal and puppey dispute EE's claims, so that's that


apart from that, all this is speculation here, we shall see what happens next if at all anything

Don't think Envy is really asking for them to honour oral contracts at this point. The point is showing that Secret was a badly run and poorly managed team, that Puppey is no better than dozens of other team owners who failed before him, and that people should at least know what they're getting into before jumping in.

The fact that the contracts were oral only emphasizes the bad business.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Puppey always came across as a massive egotistical douche on stream. None of this is surprising, really.

You actually expect one? They'll keep their mouths shut I'm sure, maybe press legal charges against Envy if possible.
Besides, what on Earth could they possibly write to make this look better for themselves except a complete apology and a decision to disband?

Yeah, nobody is expecting these oral contracts to be upheld. That's not what anyone is talking about; there isn't going to be some legal case here.

But even ignoring the illegality, if you think Puppey and Kemal have behaved remotely acceptably by going back on their promise regarding hundreds of thousands of dollars and hiding that, along with late payment, issues with communication, etc., you have a really fucked up understanding of what's OK behaviour, especially given that the entire purpose of Secret was to work for the players and be honest and trustworthy and non-shady and etc.

Denying these accusations is just blind. We have more than enough evidence.
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

The only entity that can enforce dota contracts is valve, through arbitration. Valve is king, because they can control players' or teams' eligibility to their events.

If valve doesn't care, then formal contracts are mere pieces of paper because is way too impractical to do international litigation.
