There are tons of contracts everywhere where it's all about showing results. It's called "Werkvertrag" in German, don't know the exact English Legal Term, something like "contract to produce a work"

Sry but no.

They are paid to show good results, if they can achieve that by NOT practicing, so be it. At least Tester is still one of the most stable code S players, who cares if Hero, Yongwha, Sage and so on practice their heart out when they can't even get to code A.

And I'm paid to show results at my job too, if I can get it done in 1 hour its fine, if I need 3 hours for it, well, tough crap but nobody will care. I just has to be done.


but the exact point is that they havent shown any results...?


Fruitdealer no, I agree there.

Tester yes, as long as he is stable code S I think he has every right to do whatever he wants. I mean, look at how many pros try to even get to code A, let alone code S. Claiming that you are not satisfied with a code S player is just....weird.

Though Code S status alone might be satisfactory, you need players capable and threatening to win titles to attract sponsors and fans. If you're highest earning players aren't pushing themselves to do that, then it just isn't worth it to accomodate them. It only causes friction within the team and could negatively affect the team morale. I'm not saying Coach Lee did the right thing by refusing keep his promise (and contracts?) and even lying to them, but you can understand why he did it.


The problem is, that they didn't "stop" practicing, they joined the team intentionally, CLAIMING that they don't want the rigid ogs-practice-schedule.

So you aquire players who state they don't want to practice hard and afterwards you fire them because they didn't practice hard? This just makes no sense...if I'm hired to work 30 hours a week, I can't possibly get fired because I refuse to work 40 hours.

Well, coach lee himself stated that he wants to build a very "stress free" mode in the house, but since it doesn't work out, he wants to go into the rebuilding mode, and practice harder. I assume what happened is Tester and FD refused to work harder at the same time refuse to leave the team,, which lead to Coach lee not paying them until they work harder

Wow...wasn't expecting that. In my head I was thinking TSL=Team liquid starleague and was SOOOOO confused at wtf the OP would be about. This clears up a lot of the drama happening though it doesn't sound like everything is really settled if TSL decided not to cooperate fully

FD and Tester had no contract, similar to how Puma didn't have one. They stopped getting paid after a random get-together by Coach and other players so that implies that they had no pre-existing disciplinary rules regarding player performance and payment.

2. SC2 Con say manager lied to TSL players that they're not receiving any money from sponsorship. Then how did Clide + SangHo return their money if they werent given it in the first place? You can't exactly say this was a lie or they were forced to return the money or else they wouldve left the team too.


Timeline dude, timeline. They could get paid one month and the next month manager lies to them saying they're not receiving any sponsor moneyyy. They could have no place to go?

3. Slandering players by saying that they dont practice? Obviously FD+Tester doesnt mind at all considering they said the exact same thing in interviews and therefore agrees with Coach Lee's assessment


Professional players slandering themselves to ruin their own reputation and future, excellent.

4. Images of former players are advertisements. Who does the advertising? G.Skill, who also sponsors TSL. That lies with G.Skill's responsiblity to change the ads. Unless you're suggesting that G.Skill had no knowledge about the situation of the team (FD+Tester) they're giving thousands of dollars to.



-초상권에 대해서는 이적한 선수입장을 고려하여 지급을 의사를 밝혔습니다. 다만, TSL 소속일 때 생산된 컨텐츠이며, 곧바로 수정이 불가능하였고, 수정을 하는데 시간이 들 수 밖에 없었습니다.

About the ads, due to those players leaving we brought up the idea of changing it, but due to the fact that the content was created while they were in TSl and the fact that it takes a while to modify the ads made it that it would take a lot of time to change the ads.

-----------so Coach Lee is saying it was their responsibility to change it but because "it takes awhile" they just chose to run with em anyway. Nope, doesn't sound like G.Skill's responsibility to me.



There was nothing random about it. TSL has always been in rough shape. They started this together.

Once again you said it yourself. Everything was verbal. The money went towards the team something FD and Tester had no problem with before! The irony!

If they weren't practicing they weren't practicing. There were 3 changes in direction. This isn't slander. This is what you call fact. You see coaches calling their players out in professional sports all the fucking time. This is no different.

There are two parties in play. G Skill the sponsor who runs the ads and the team. It's a little more complicated than that. -_-

Exactly this is what I also believe has happened.

Nevertheless then coach lee is 100% in the wrong.
Again to my example: you are hired for 30 hours, suddenly your boss claims "damn, the work doesn't get done, your have to work 40 hours or you get fired" - at least in Austria that's just not possible. If the contract says 30 hours, then you are only obliged to work 30 hours. As long as you fulfil your contract, you can't get fired just because your boss thinks it's necessary for you to work longer.

And if coach lee wants FD/Tester to practice harder despite them joining TSL for NOT having to do that....then it's his problem, not theirs.

Fruitdealer and tester are so annoying. I used to be their fan but they have such a bad attitude, made me an anti-fan. Although I dont think coach lee handled it well, having Tester and Fruitdealer in a team house must have been hard, they're lazy parasites. Good for oGs that they let them go.

It's different. You're hired as a player to win and to develop as a player. If you're not doing that then you should be reprimanded or fired.

The matter of workload is a matter of work culture and ethics. If you can get by performing with minimal amount of work, then by all means. The fact that TSL then dropped in form and the management knew they had to buck up to please their sponsors, meant a change in culture.

And since FD and Trickster weren't putting up with it despite the coach telling them to, the best way was to withhold payment (which had no contracts relating to it) to incentivize them to practice harder.

It's the same with any other job. You're paid to do your work, and if you can't do it within the normal 8-9 hour working day, then you have to do an overtime. Otherwise, you're gone.

Banning I don't agree. But bringing up EG/Puma even more I don't agree.

These are two separate issues.

I was wondering why TSL was dropping players like flies. Sounds like Coach Lee isn't nearly as nice of a guy as people would let on. I'm still not passing any judgment until I hear a bit more about this story. People were very kneejerk about the EG scandal and now they're flip flopping to support them in this whole thing. Maybe if we would all relax and wait to hear all of the facts, we could support better conclusions.


Well, SangHo and Clide liked Coach Lee and TSL enough to give their money back to him.

The cases of FD/Tester/Puma were a bit strange to me tbh.

FD/Tester - Already left 1 team, admit to not playing much
Puma - First SC2 success ever at big foreign event -- wants more


Or, they were forced to give him the money back.Probably wasn't much anyway, since he lied to them that they weren't getting money from sponsors.

FD, Tester and Puma leaving is just additional proof that TSL management is rotten to the core, ha!

And now y'all getting juked by another sob story.


That's why SangHo and Clide talk about how much they love TSL right? FD/Tester and Puma stories are completely separated. It's not about being rotten. It's about being financially strained. And frankly, I don't know what FD/Tester are doing. They don't play, they aren't top players anymore. They don't deserve the money they want.


Dude, I'd take FD,tester and Puma's stories over SangHo,Clide and Mr.Lee.

1.Spontaneously witholding wages
2.Manager lied about sponsor funding
3.Slandering players
4.Using images of former players

TSL not credible.


Ummm, FD/Tester/Puma haven't given any stories. Wtf are you talking about?

And besides, why would you take the stories of nonpracting teamhoppers over loyal players who give back?


You said yourself there were FD,Tester,Puma stories, wtf are you on about now?

How do you know they're nonpracticing teamhoppers? From TSL testimony? Those loyal players "who give back" could also very well be players suffering under TSL management, forced to put up a pristine front to try to keep going till they make it big, so that they can transfer over to some other team.


By stories I meant there decisions to leave there teams. I did not mean to imply testimonies.

They have given their reason to S2Con but we haven't gotten them. You using things that don't even exist to us shows that you are blindly attacking TSL.

FruitDealer/Tester are teamhoppers in the sense that is their 3rd SC2 team now (oGs -> TSL -> ST). They have played on more teams than any other SC2 player I'm pretty sure.

Their reasons for leaving oGs? Too much practicing and not enough play time.
Reason for leaving TSL? Not getting paid because they didn't practice.

You have to see this from both perspectives. This story will stay unsolved until we learn the true agreement between TSL and FD/Tester


Very much like how EG got attacked in the Puma incident, sometimes its just more relaxing to jump to conclusions, I'm enjoying it somewhat.

Regardless of what FD/Tester did etc,

1.Spontaneously witholding wages
2.Manager lied about sponsor funding
3.Slandering players
4.Using images of former players

Plus the handling of Puma drama, TSL management sounds awfully shady to me. The SC2 Player's Association thinks so too. Unless we consider the possibility of them being corrupt? Aha, more drama.

EG was still wrong...

And in this case TSL coach Lee is very wrong.

The mythical all-knowing beeing called "Technique" has spoken
/sarcasm
You know that it was only a matter of opinions about the EG/Puma drama, because "technically" they didn't do anything wrong.

But i really hope this subject will show up an a show soon (looking at you djWheat, you are the community-drama tamer), hopefully with representitives.

That still doesn't really fit well into a team, which you ignored. I mean for soccer fx. Víctor Valdés isn't going to get to chill for a week, because he has kept the goal clean for the season. The rest of the team depends on him to practise, so the other individual players can get their shit in order.

What is this even suppose to mean?

In addition(As an after thought) to the players preparing for the tournaments, the patches for the maps are very important. The fact that you always give these information late only to TSL players is very disappointing.


You mean they get tournament maps later than other team? That's very disappointing indeed if that's the case.

Except FD + Trickster left before Clide/Sangho returned their money. I'm not sure what you're suggesting by no place to go. You mean that Clide+Sangho left TSL and then return TSL because no team wanted them? Or you mean Clide/Sangho were talking to other teams besides TSL's back ? Ok, teams did talk to Clide/Sangho behind TSL's back, but Clide/Sangho said no.

Are you saying that some other TSL members were approached as well?
Yes, I found out through this whole ordeal. When SangHo and Clide were approached by other teams, they told me that they declined the offers due to their respect for TSL and the importance of continuing with the team that they originally started with. They thought it was best not to tell me since they thought it would cause unnecessary distractions and concerns.



Professional players slandering themselves to ruin their own reputation and future, excellent.


So you're saying that said interview never occurred?

You had a problem with Coach Lee "slandering" his players, now you think that Coach Lee should "slander" G.Skill? Isn't that pretty hypocritical?

For anyone saying "oh fruitdealer and trickster deserved to have their wages withheld for not performing", please read the article.

"1. While we acknowledge that disciplining players who negatively affect the team is fair, withholding wages without any prior notification is wrong.

5. The team has an obligation to continue paying promised wages until the players are released."

If you aren't performing at your job, you don't get your wages withheld, you get fired. For as long as you still work there, you should be paid.

Rather silly of the manager to manage the contracts/players the way that he did. But I do hope TSL don't suffer too badly because of this. Hope they bounce back.

1. If FD/Tester don't practice then they dont meet the terms of their contract. They don't deserve to get paid. Do you expect to get paid if you dont show up for work?


Sry but no.

They are paid to show good results, if they can achieve that by NOT practicing, so be it. At least Tester is still one of the most stable code S players, who cares if Hero, Yongwha, Sage and so on practice their heart out when they can't even get to code A.

And I'm paid to show results at my job too, if I can get it done in 1 hour its fine, if I need 3 hours for it, well, tough crap but nobody will care. I just has to be done.


but the exact point is that they havent shown any results...?


Fruitdealer no, I agree there.

Tester yes, as long as he is stable code S I think he has every right to do whatever he wants. I mean, look at how many pros try to even get to code A, let alone code S. Claiming that you are not satisfied with a code S player is just....weird.

Though Code S status alone might be satisfactory, you need players capable and threatening to win titles to attract sponsors and fans. If you're highest earning players aren't pushing themselves to do that, then it just isn't worth it to accomodate them. It only causes friction within the team and could negatively affect the team morale. I'm not saying Coach Lee did the right thing by refusing keep his promise (and contracts?) and even lying to them, but you can understand why he did it.


The problem is, that they didn't "stop" practicing, they joined the team intentionally, CLAIMING that they don't want the rigid ogs-practice-schedule.

So you aquire players who state they don't want to practice hard and afterwards you fire them because they didn't practice hard? This just makes no sense...if I'm hired to work 30 hours a week, I can't possibly get fired because I refuse to work 40 hours.

Yeah, but the conditions on which they joined with might have changed. TSL's response said something about the two players not showing interest in the rebuilding process which most likely meant stricter practice hours and tigher routines. Now, if their initial contracts (if they had them) specifically had clauses about what kind of practice they were allowed to get away with, I can understand perfectly where their grievance comes from. However, if there were no contracts or the contracts didn't mention anything about practice hours, I would say that they could've been more accomodating to the change. It's still all speculation though without knowing the full details.
