I honestly don't expect anything from reign anyway, I still think poorly of spades for the map hacking thing, and that alone tarnished any good rep they got from picking up kiwi.

Mirhi,

That's what I sort of figured. PhoeniX would be better off joining a team based in Korea with his impending military duty, meh.

Shit like this happens.

No, we're complaining that EG was unethical in the signing of PuMa. This is a totally different thing. Your logic was okay until you based it on complete bullshit.

I don't know much about either parties in this but it seems the post made by reign was very aggravated even when it was mentioned that they weren't here to hurt his reputation. Using aggressive words like threatening, refused and demanding isn't how you go about making a press release about it when you state that it's not meant to bash him. "Negotiations/ed" "Persuade" "Requesting/ed" are passive words that don't reflect any hostility in the matter, and thus should be used when portraying any type of press release regarding this matter where you don't intend to bash the mentioned player.

It just seems that you guys are frustrated with the said player and are showing it with your choice of words while sugar coating it with the first few sentences. I personally feel you're trying to make the player the bad guy while trying to make yourselves look logically reasonable and not at fault, all which could of been done with passive wording while avoiding the "Phoenix is the bad guy here" theme.

Overall all these dramas have made me increase my respect for FXOboss and how FXO/him manage their team.

Don't know enough about Phoenix's side to have a full grasp of what happened but it's seemingly unfortunate for both Reign and Phoenix. I know this announcement was kind of forced on you but it wouldn't have been that hard to be a little more concise, and in doing so put Phoenix in a better light. He wasn't even contracted at the time so it seems like nothing was lost for Reign besides a bit of time and the opportunity to search for a replacement. It makes more sense for him to join a team willing to fly him to/from tournies with his military duties regardless.

It's a shame it didn't work out but it seems to be for the better for both sides.

This is why when you announce a new team you only put players on the current roster who have signed a contract. Listing a player of that caliber as part of the team when you are still going through negotiations (no signed contract) is risky business (I can understand up and coming players who haven't made it big yet). I hope people take something away from this.

Please everybody don't turn this into drama. Both parties were negotiating and were not able to come to an agreement. And that is both of their right. Pheonix shouldn't have come to the US if he wasn't going to be happy. And Reign shouldn't sign him if he is making demands that they can't meet at this time.

And I certainly understand Reign making this post after the whole EG/Puma drama. Seems like they did a good job of representing the whole argument.

It is sad that you had to explain it to us to its full extent. But its important as well to get your side of the story out when others are saying something totally different. Best of luck to Reign!

Everyone criticizing Reign for releasing information needs to remember that Phoenix said in chat that Reign had not sent money and broken promises. A statement clarifying that it was simply a breakdown of negotiations is appropriate. Reign didn't break any promises and seems to have been operating in good faith. It's important to get that out there when Phoenix's words could be construed as claiming otherwise.

An agreement to agree is no agreement at all. Any first year law student could have told Reign's management that. Sounds like amateur hour to me.

What unethical signing? As far as I know the contract still isn't signed. Unless EG signed a contract with Puma before contacting TSL management in any way, shape, or form nothing wrong happened. Why negotiate with management before seeing if a player is even interested?

what about the other 2 players recruited by Reign? I know they are really good friends with Phoenix so are they sticking with Reign or no?

Too bad it didn't work out for you guys. Maybe Phoenix thought you guys were loaded like FXO? Haha maybe if he was done with his military service or whatever it would've worked out.

I don't see how some people feel that this was posted to start drama.. There would be none of this if desRow had not leaked the convo with phoenix -_-.

They aren't painting phoenix in a negative light - they're saying what happened and what he did, and why the deal didn't fall through. This isn't negative.

I'm pretty sure most of the complaints were about their handling of the situation in regards to communicating with TSL, not about announcing the Puma acquisition themselves. To be honest, I don't remember a single post of that nature. Them being beaten to the punch by TSL was a side-effect of not being in communication with the team, if a player acquisition is going on behind the scenes, neither team will really reveal it to the public, in this case it happened because both teams weren't on the same page.

So yeah, the situations are pretty different, general negotiations aren't really something you want to talk about in public, because there are likely a fair few negotiations that fall through and you don't everyone to be jumping on a player's nuts for expecting terms adequate to their expectations. Really, that's all that happened here, negotiations fell through, the only difference is that Reign announced that Phoenix was a part of the team before he had signed the contract, which was a massive blunder on their part.
