TSL's ban overturned - SC2 Committee

"a significant part of the players' (tester, FD) testimonies were false"

"their statements were inconsistent with the truth regarding missed salary payments + copyright issues regarding use of their image"

"TSL does not want any punishment given to FD and tester, and thus their wish will be respected, and it is expected from these two players that they act in a more moral way in the future"

"coach lee contacted me after i posted the article, saying he was concerned with the details of my article."

"there may have been many misinformations + exaggerations in my post"

"after going through TSL's bank account details and records, we agreed there had been misunderstandings between us"

"we have recognised that FD and tester were acting in the wrong"

"the claim that coach lee visited the team house about twice a month was exaggerated"

"we had agreed beforehand that tester, as the team captain, would shoulder some responsibilities of coach"

"we recognise that coach lee was indeed busy with the running of his pc bang and associated tournaments and other schedules"

"after checking with the sponsor regarding their payments to TSL, we recognise that our first salaries were paid on the correct date"

"although initially we were told different things by the sponsor and by coach lee, we now know that coach lee was not lying"

"there were also no problems regarding salary payments prior to the pair leaving TSL"

"it is because of my rash decision that there was harm done to coach lee"

"in their last month at TSL, tester and FD only showed up on less than 10 days, and they hold themselves accountable for their team atmosphere harming activities and refusal to participate in official TSL events/schedules"

"regarding image usage rights, coach lee first said that he would pay for the use of FD and tester's photos (this was right after FD and tester left)"

"but later, after finding out these details, we have agreed not to give/accept any payment"

"we apologise for only thinking about our team's rights, and not thinking from coach lee's perspective and the potential relationship between our team and TSL"

"in conclusion, much of the details used in the original arbitration by the SC2 Committee was falsified"

"exaggerations by FD and tester were due to their lack of information on the situation"

"there was a lot of emotional decision making on our part, which we regret"

"as the head of the sc2 committee, i will hold myself responsible for the rash decision and subsequent harm to TSL that i took without regard to the severity of the situation, and resign as the head of the committee"

"in the future i will make sure that i take in all the information and make sure of its truth before making decisions"

"i apologise for the harm this has caused to all the players and teams in the sc2 committee"

"i realise it is difficult to take back words after they have been said"

"i apologise with my head bowed to TSL, coach lee, the players and their fans for acting in this manner"

"i hope this situation can eventually be another stepping stone, and not a harming influence, for the growth of sc2"

"i am glad that this situation has been resolved and the truth has been cleared up"
