After lurking 100+ sites here and thinking much about the story i came to the conclusion that it´s a good thing for the whole Esports community. Cause like the TSL coach said in his statement many players where not really bound with any contract to the teams and now, after this "scandal" they want to set those contracts up. And that for me sounds like more professionalism. With contracts, player trading will occure like in any "real" sport and this will push the Sc2 esport scene to a new level.

Sometimes it needs something like this for associations and so on to do something for their system.

Oh, no doubt. I'm not criticizing the TL community for abusing Milkis. It's just that his TL work and his Twitter are pretty strongly intertwined. And at times, there may be people who have good things to say to him on Twitter, things which if Milkis wishes to read, he must wade through idiocy first.

Plus if those people aren't (or weren't, as is more likely the case) members of TL, I'd be fairly surprised.

Then like I said, that's his problem.

I think ppl confusing Milkis for Kelly is very telling of the general level of ignorance that continues to pour into this thread >.< People seriously need to stop regurgitating the same points over and over again, if this thread was limited to the ppl who had ANY idea what they are talking about it would be 23 pages not 230

Moves like this never happened in Brood War did they? I really didn't follow BW hardcore so I'm out of the loop there but I have seen moves like this happen in other esports games before. Maybe that is why I am not to upset with the move. I do understands Coach Lees position though and he has the right to be upset.

This is pathetic. Businesses can't be run on faith and trust, it just doesn't work that way. If PuMa wanted to switch teams and EG wanted to recruit him, and there were no contracts in place to bind PuMa to his team then what the hell is TSL complaining about?

Only I was the one advertising it and I'm not EG. I'm simply trying to use the networking I have to try to bring both sides to the table for a discussion. I hope people will realize (and I spoke intensely about this with Slasher) that I was NOT going to do the show if I could not present both sides (after a few recent happenings this seems to be the only way to be fair to all parties).

Both Alex and Milkis agreed to discuss what they knew, etc.
