All the people talking about how EG was slandered by TSL are perfectly right. Clearly, EG management has shown time and time again how much better they are. Evil Geniuses is proud of their long tradition of paying salaries to gamers that don't train enough and have a consistent record of losing at all major -and minor- tournaments. How did he dare to ask his players to train harder!?

So delusional!

Yeah, you don't know how a business operates. We get it.


LOL you're lost kiddo.

An employer paying employees? Thats a verbal agreement at the very least.

If my job all the sudden didnt give me a pay check without any heads up because they were dissatisfied with my work, that's a law suit




Older than you. End of conversation. You want to keep this conversation going you can try to PM me, but odds are I'll ignore you because you already showed all your cards.

You just repeated the same thing you said before and I told you there was no written agreement! Verbal contracts have no weight. It changes the whole story. There is no law suit because it would never hold in a court room. lmao

My God! If they were on contract, sure the employer would fire them and they would get paid for the days and hours they came into work if that's the type of contract they had, but they didn't.

-_-


I can guarantee you it would hold up in court entirely. You cant just take wages from people because youre unhappy about anything. You fire them, demote them, document that their wages are being lowered and that they have agreed to that. But you dont just take something that is owed to them, thus TSL was already judged against by the SC2 Conference.

You obviously didn't read the thread.

yes, let's keep jumping the gun.


You obviously jumped to conclusions and made assumptions.




I guess this why I should actually start quoting people who edit their posts all the time! So, they cannot take out the nonsense they post! lmao

It's funny that you decided to keep that though considering I have been following this story the entire time and well read on what everyone has said. So, no sir. Your still wrong.

I'll leave it at that.


Funny you say that I have too. I've been active in all of the threads in regards to TSL/EG/Puma and think its hillarious that this whole Korean honor system has been debunked.

You can leave it at that, I would to if I had nothing of substance to say.



No you haven't. I read every single page. You on the other hand, have most definitely not. Now be gone.


More assumptions, I've read every page as well. Go through my post history, youll find me extremely active through each and every thread in regards.

The "verbal agreement" must have been carried out before by him (paying them), showing there's an intent to treat it as a contract. Furthermore, it's been used publicly to advertise the team as being the first to give the players salaries. I'm pretty sure any legal court will treat that "verbal agreement" as a contract.


Thank you.

When the news about Puma broke I called coach Lee incompetent and was worried about the future of TSL. Looking back I wish I was wrong.

And now I see a new potential problem in the SC2 Con. It seems like the Con has the potential power to collude against other teams and I suspect that (and I hope I'm wrong) the players association lacks the power within the Con to protect the players that may be affected by such decisions.

With that said, I think the Con is better than nothing and is a much needed tool in the Korean scene.

I don't really understand why people can't realise there's always two sides of a story and things aren't always black and white. Neither party seems to be in the right in this situation. Coach Lee did some stuff that's questionable on the outside but one can realise why he did what he did. Trickster and FD also did stuff that was questionable but here again it's understandable.

Either way I see no right or wrong here. What the SC2Con did I think is far dodgier than what TSL/FD/Trickster did. I don't see a reason for a personal dispute between players and their manager/coach to be made public.

It's pretty clear at this point that TSL was not so much an organization as an informal gathering of gamers. Some of those gamers respected the gathering a bit more than others, but due to its nature there was no accountability for what anyone did (coach or players).

Not saying a new KeSPA is needed, but teams need to be structured more like a fucking business or shit like this happens.

This is really sad. Some things weren't totally clear - just exactly what FD and Trickster did to disrespect TSL in the first place. I haven't read the whole thread so maybe it is posted somewhere in here but whatever it was is beside the point. It's just a shame.

Introduction to business? You can just take money from employees? L to the O to the L.

Lee had every right to be upset that his players weren't practiciing or whatever, that's irrelevant.

Who's delusional again?

So does TSL still have to pay Fruitdealer and Trickster since they left SC2Con?

If not, SC2Con seems really weak.

I don't feel bad for lee, based on his exaggerations of the latest Puma situation and the defamation of PUMA's character that he tried to put forth...I'd say Lee is a loose cannon and can't deal with anything not going his way. Thusly, I personally find these actions to be entirely acceptable by the sc2con.

They do not have to pay FD and Trickster, since TSL has been "expelled" after they "withdrew" so they would not have to follow the terms (you know. paying back money they owed their players) they laid out.

Probably not via arbitration, if there was a contract in place then yes. However, many korean teams don't have contracts with their players, it's all promises arbitrated by some 3rd party typically.

Which is how you see korean players leaving the teams since there is very little to no contracts in korea.

I think if this mess has highlighted anything it's how unprofessional the 'professional' starcraft scene is in its current form.

We definitely need some proper contract procedures in place.
I'm not bad at Starcraft; I just think winning's rude.

You pay the employee their last paycheck then drop them. Obviously the money was a salary, not hourly. Without a prior agreement between both parties, one party cannot just decide to take the money away because they were all hot and bothered by it.

You are generalizing a small growing Korean scene to the whole scene. Don't do that
