Phoenix agreed to the terms of the contract, but then never signed it. This is where the trouble came.

We were past the negotiation phase.

Thanks for being clear on the whole situation. I appreciated the fact that you said that you had no plans to send him to Anaheim rather than play it off by saying "oh there were no more player passes available so we couldn't send him, otherwise we would." It's unfortunate to see he won't be on the team, but you guys look like a strong team nevertheless.

I don't think Phoenix was put in a bad light. They just said his intentions. I personally don't think less of Phoenix for wanting to live his life in a specific way, and wanting to travel back to Korea. I'm not sure what you felt was negative, unless I missed something.

These kinds of players shouldnt be regarded as "professionals". Phoenix is an awesome player but this is behavior you'd expect from someone whos actually won or done something.


What are you going on about? No contract was signed, Phoenix was negotiating as every other person who has a brain would.


Ya I agree with this... he wanted to get as much as he could from the offer, or go somewhere else. It seems like a smart decision. You wouldn't want to just sit back and take the first offer you are given.


Not sure the need to include specifics of all his demands was necessary, imo.


Ya it may not have been necessary, but at the same time I don't think the specifics being mentioned reflected negatively on Phoenix as a person or player... but that's just my opinion.

Perhaps you should add this to the OP. This is quite important imo.

You say that as if it's fine for players that have had success to have unreasonable demands and to screw their teams around.

If he was so worried about his military service, why did he join the team in the first place? I don't see how anyone could find it okay to be sent back and forth every few months.

The contract isn't signed anyway (?), so you have no obligation to him to provide anything.


Neither of them have any obligation to one another based on most common foreign practices, this is simply a situation of a premature announcement made on a team of otherwise completely contracted players.

If they hadn't announced Phoenix as part of the team while negotiations were in progress, then we probably wouldn't even be having this discussion right now. Quite simply, no one is really in the wrong in that regard since Phoenix has every right to ask for changes to the contract before signing, and Reign has every right to say "No, that's not feasible for us", but the only issue is, that generally happens before you announce a player as part of your team.

Tbh I'm much more interested to see who is trying to poach members from FXO and Reign than this.


Best of luck Reign and Phoenix, kinda highlights the problems of bringing koreans to the states what with the red tape and military service.

Do people read the OP i dont get your comment... Phoenix is in the wrong here not Team Reign. He didn't sign the contract nor during the contract did he say anything about military? READ BEFORE YOU POST? How hard is that? To many opinions not enough smarts.

Negative light is what phoenix deserves.. not saying military needs in the first place. Demanding to go to MLG Anaheim when that wasn't talked about. Asking for more money .. NOT signing a contract and trying to hold Reign to the contract when he didn't even sign it...


This is exactly what you shouldn't be doing from the OP. The point isn't to judge who is "good or bad", the point is to explain why it didn't work out. Don't be judgemental and dumb, it can be a difficult situation bringing in a player from korea.

I think that you would have been better off by simply stating that negotiations fell through. You can't exactly say that he left if he was never actually a part of your team, despite wearing the tag.

If you are going to claim another team is interfering in Phoneix's decision, then I hope you have proof, because that could count against you tbh.

A shame it didn't work out, but guess his needs couldn't match up with yours.

Ya I have to agree with this. I just really don't see why this has to be some drama filled situation where someone is the "bad guy." It was just a negotiation which doesn't seem to have been handled in the best way, and it simply didn't work out. Not a big deal overall.

Why would they ban? Most people would look at this post and infer the exact same thing. I'm one of them.

Whatever happened during negotiations doesn't matter. It's unprofessional to come to TL and post all he dirt.

Look at how FXO handled their situation with Sheth. That's how you do it. You don't think FXO could've hurt Sheth's image if they wanted to considering what he did to the team?

That's what Mirhi said and meant. That negotiations fell through. It was desRow who posted that PhoeNix left in the first place.

I would hardly call EG a "budding organization" in regards to eSports considering they're one of the older teams in the scene. It's kind of silly to makes assumptions based on basically no information in regards to the organization making offers to contracted players.
