So, Sven signed 2 contracts? What a dumbass. If TSM wasn't involved Riot would ban him for sure.

Interestingly enough we've had that situation already. Four players from the LMS team Midnight Sun Esports signed contracts with another team while still on contract on MSE. Garena dropped a year long banhammer on them.

no he didnt sign two contracts.

from what i understood, he signed one with H2K, but right after that TSM approached him, and now he wants to go TSM despite having contract with H2K.

My presumption is Sven will get punished, H2K will get him, and people will be real mad as always that TSM didn't get off worse.

How does this situation even come about?

Sven signs with H2K and then TSM offers him money and he's like, well fuck it???

In that scenario TSM and Reginald should be heavily punished for poaching then? Maybe even sell his ownership of TSM lololololololol

Sounds like the claim is that Sven signed a contract to sign a contract, not the actual job contract itself?

Which is even worse, lmao.

Like, H2K should realise that Svenskeren will likely get banned if it's confirmed, even if TSM don't get a player. TSM won't give a single fuck about those fines anyway and they're losing nothing, unless Riot want to go full sports and ban them from transfer window or something, but we all know about Riot and TSM relationships.

H2K, Svenskeren and his family engaged in long discussions and negotiations that culminated in a deal between the parties. Both agreed, in writing, to execute a contract formalizing that deal. This was a legally binding agreement.

eh pretty sure H2K have proof for this one, which makes Svens a H2K player.

EU drama finally arrived with the help of NA.

Svenskeren signed a letter of intent. Gonna be an interesting ruling by Riot. Its a fluid area, especially since both various European countries "laws" and interpretation of such a document as well as the North-american version of it are involved.

Also:

TSM was indifferent and determined to continue with the poaching—Reginald’s only response to Richard Wells was, “Well just do what you need to do”.

Thats so Regi.

Would be really funny.
Unfortunately it'll be more likely that TSM gets some slap on the wrist and afterwards we can wonder why Garena is bizarro world with this stuff.

Guys calm down. Apparently Svenskeren did not sign a contract wit H2k yet. H2k themselves said "H2K, Svenskeren and his family engaged in long discussions and negotiations that culminated in a deal between the parties. Both agreed, in writing, to execute a contract formalizing that deal."
None of us here know the content of this "letter of intent" or whatever to sign a contract. And I also doubt anyone here knows what this legally means. Let some lawyers figure this one out.

TSM will receive a $200 fine and reginald will be sent to the naughty corner to think about what he did

Afaik what svenskeren has signed according to H2K's statement should be sufficient for UK contract law; but idk how it works elsewhere.

This is the main question because according to this guy, oral agreements are binding in Germany, where LCS is being played.

Just one little info: Letters of intent do not serve the purpose to guarantee a contract at the end. It is used to nail down specific parts, like for example salary benefits expected work done etc etc. Its used to create a foundation from which both parties can then work on hashing out a real contract. But the classic letter of intent can not force you to sign a contract at the end.

The fact that H2k goes to a journalist in an attempt to get public opinion on their side and put pressure on Riot also makes me think they believe they do not actually have a legal case here. Except they seem to hope for help from Riot ouside of the legal system.
