I think the OP was very well put together and did it's best not to portray Phoenix in a negative manner. I'm sure he will find another team in the near future and Reign will find a good replacement.

Unfortunately for all those who disagree with this, sometimes facts need to be released and its difficult to make shit smell like flowers. Some of the things that happened in this situation were not ideal for anyone and they can be spun to both parties disadvantage. Take it for what it is, simply an informative update on the state of what's going on.

GL to Reign, GL to Phoenix

Seems good that they parted ways, Phoenix probably thought he was hot shit and wanted to be treated like a GSL champion...

Also Teasing is bad (Gives blue balls)... Let us know who this "Budding Organization" is

this thread kind of makes me LOL.

I have my players under contract. albeit whatever type of contract it is. If someone wnats to talk to my players my name is here there n everywhere feel free.

If someone feels their legal duty to undercut me, thats for a court to decide.

Although pheonix doing what his is doing is kind of fitting to his persona, I dont believe any law was broken and this thread is unnecessary.. I.e its a defamation thread.

If you got a problem with a player, sign them first. Then its easier to deal with the end result.

I love you spades (i really do!!!) but this thread sux.

This is really sad to see, was hoping he would be a key part of Team Reign. Not to seem funny or anything I hope Team Reign finds a new Korean that will join them. Simple reason being the Korean player can show them Korean training routines and things along that line.

What Phoenix want was not to be out of country more than 3 months because of South Korean Laws and policy to prevent its citizens to dodge military require enlistment. But Reign couldn't deliver because of monetary restraint. So, it's best interest for both parties to part ways, but because of third party (Desrow) break news about the behind the stage event Regin have to come out defend their stand. I feel many people are elevating this into more drama.

Not a big loss for Reign IMO. Phoenix is neither an elite player nor particularly well known in the community. Honestly this thread is probably the most attention he's ever gotten before.

They needed to release this statement because desrow posted a chat log with phoenix saying he was leaving. So many questions were asked that they needed to do this.

I don't get what the purpose of this thread anyways. Phoenix ended up not coming to the USA and joining Reign.. big deal? I don't see why this is a "situation,"

It's not like a bunch of people were posting in the forums "omg did you hear about Reign and Phoenix!!!???111"

Not sure what this thread is for other than to explain a situation that pretty much nobody really cared about

Are you going to spill the beans on the "Budding organization" ? :D Inquiring minds want to know and as is common knowledge, drama>professionalism, just ask uncle Rupert.

It's not a defamation thread. Phoenix just had unrealistic expectations for the caliber of player he is (a decent B-teamer korean, but nothing more, nothing less) and for a kind of team Reign is (i.e. they dont have chests filled with 100$ bills like FXO does)

I don't think it's realistic for you to make "demands" of teams and threaten to leave unless you are an absolutely top tier pro like MC or Nestea. Also, it's unrealistic to expect a new team to fly you between countries every 3 months. Hell, some teams are struggling to fly their players within the country to MLGs.

It didn't work out, so w.e. I hope Reign finds a better korean (shouldn't be hard) and I hope Phoenix finds a team.

I dont deal with drama. I am a a businesss man. If someone wants to take me on in business let the fun start. I have talked to all parties involved, and no end was achieved. But the end result is, this has nothing to do with FXO and the FXO name shouldnt be in the opening post.

To the people asking this thread was made to clear up the situation which made reign look terrible posted by desrow in an attempt for more drama i guess.

as teams become more and more transparent with their player deals, and shed light on how unprofessional and childish some pro-players act; more players will realize how stupid they look and hopefully begin to act with integrity.

Well, good luck to Reign and Phoenix. Dont really think its too big of a deal no matter what Desrow has said/post.

What im more interested in is this "budding organisation" :3

VT/Reign is just simply trying to explain itself after desRow copied a post from Reddit, showing how Phoenix claims that he broke apart from Reign due to broken promises.

No big deal.

Though still interested about the budding organization.

No, he sounds like someone who has different priorities and commitments than what Reign expected which is why he didn't sign the contract.

Morals of the Story:

- Make your players sign contracts(Learnt during the Puma situation).

- Make sure your players have signed the contract before you say, "We have X player", because you don't really have that player.

- Eat your vegetables.


- Make sure all your players block all ties with desrow.

I'm really curious as to who has the balls and money to try to snipe players from Reign and FXO, especially as a budding organization. It's like trying to snipe board members of Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan with a small startup company.
