I'm just saying that there is a posibillity that they are not telling the truth in respect of the team and the management.. Misplaced as it may be.. It's hard for us westerners to figure out

How important is the SC2PA?
This really doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me....If the team supports Lee and his actions then it should be fine. FD/Tester didn't really have a place in the team then.

You either keep paying them or tell them to practice X much or you will kick them from the team. Not paying them while still using them for sponsorship is rotten.
Lee did mention that he was having difficulty keeping sponsors and finding new ones because FD and Trickster (who were their two top players) weren't performing. It is still a dick move, but again, no single party is at fault here.

FD & Tester never practiced properly, which was clearly an issue when they were supposed to be officially salaried pros and the TSL team was attempting to step up their dedication to the game. That kind of thing wouldn't fly in any serious sport, (witness footballers being fined wages etc) but it needs to be included as a term in a contract.
I wonder if TSL chose to leave rather than pay the money because their finances are just that tight. I mean we had Clide and Killer giving back salaries to the team to help keep things ticking over :/
Oh well, another sad blow for TSL, but one that's definitely brought about by themselves.

They regularly mentioned in interviews how little they'd practiced for things.

Man coach Lee is such a scumbag. First qqing over the whole EG PumA thing to look like a victim and now this. I'm pretty relieved that this shit is getting sorted out but i feel soooooo bad for Clide!  Maybe he should join a proper team like oGs or MVP.

Except, how was the contract written? You can't just withhold money you've agreed to pay someone. Not if you want them to not get really angry at you (and cause all sorts of problems). TSL has shown a really lack of understanding the business part of the scene, badly.

People need to be rational. This is a separate case from the EG/Puma incident. Even IF Puma wanted to leave TSL due to wages disputes, the argument that EG was in the wrong for approaching the player directly instead of the Coach/Manager still stands logically.

If I do what is contractually required of me I expect my pay. If I do not live up to their expectations I expect them to either cut my future pay or fire me.
The article states that coach Lee lied to the players, withheld salaries and slandered them for not returning their salaries. If the article is accurate, then I feel this is very wrong from coach Lee. If you offer a salary you need to provide it and you can't expect people to return it. Looking forward to a translation from TSL's POV.

Source for there isn't a contract?
Hell they're one of the first team to have salaries for players, ofc there are gonna be contracts for players (TLPD)

Lots of progamers (which arent in team TSL) tells me that they barely practice at all.

TSL didnt get expelled, Coach Lee told SC2 Con they're withdrawing.

Do you really think Coach Lee didnt tell them to practice? For the record, sponorship funds got described after puma situation, which happened after trickster/FD went to Startale. You think a business company dont know about the situation of the team they're sponsoring?

its fruitdealer and trickster's fault for leaving the best team in the world, oGs...

Just some tidbits of information:
S2con = SC2's version of KeSPA = Coaches, players association & GOM. They have the power to ban people from GSL/GSTL, make the rules for SC2 atm (referee's) & arbitrate disputes but are pretty lenient on most things. With TSL removed (withdrawn), it's now made up of FoU (Now FXO?), IM, oGs, Prime, ZeNEX, NSHoseo, StarTale & MVP. (SlayerS is not part of this but more like a partner)
SC2pa = players association. The players have a voice in the association that makes the rules so when there's a dispute between players and their teams, they're able to bring it up to s2con for help. The players association is mainly represented by  Junwi, who's the president voted in by most sc2 players at the time. (last year)

As far as we know, the players weren't paid based on contracts. Just informal (possibly verbal) agreements.

Sc2 is still a niche newborn. You can't expect to have good salary without putting in the work honestly in the harsh environment for progamers. It is very competitive and I can see why coach Lee did it despite it being unprofessional in term of contractual business sense.

This is not true. The EG/Puma drama told us that TSL don't have contracts with their players. Even those paid salaries.

Which teams are members of the SC2 Players Association?
What I can see SlayerS isn't a member of the association as well, is there a reason why it is so? You can read Jessica's response about it here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=236783Just search for association and you'll come upon the paragraph, it only really talks about boxer being involved in it though, and not why slayers as a whole is not participating.
I've read that and it's more an article about why BoxeR chose not to be chairman of the organisation.
I'm still curious about why one of the major teams in Korea, SlayerS, decide not to join the association.
It is kind of weird when two major teams are not part of the player association :/.
