EPTI also feel really bad for Sixjax because there's really no way they can come out of this looking good. Either way they look like they're doing something bad and they just have to cut their losses and simply release him rather than bring even more attention to the situation.
[Update] Major released from Sixjax - Page 74

Unfortunately for Terran... nobody watches and nobody really cares. I like terran... Who are you to talk like such an expert on the what the vast majority of fans like? Some random 30 post user? Take your idra fanboyism somewhere else. User was warned for this post | ||

I watch Major because he's a solid Terran. Major doesn't really bm like IdrA. They do different things. In the wbc thing, as far as i know, all he said was "good job idiot" after wbc offensive gg'ed him. Compare that to idrA who flips people off on mainstage. This is in no way defending Major, but I think it's stupid to compare them both. | ||

Contracts are valuable because they define terms and expectations for both parties, such as player conduct, salary expectations, performance bonuses, cost of buying out the contract etc. The process of drafting a contract is healthy and useful when doing business. Unless the player breeching the project is really screwing your business over -- either they've been paid for work they haven't provided or leaving you out to dry at the very last minute -- it's almost always better to just end the relationship and walk away. But hey, all managers run the risk of contracting someone flakey and unreliable. Sixjax has no one but themselves to blame, to a certain extent. They knew Major's reputation when they signed him. I'm willing to bet Artosis' conversation with Major was something along the lines of, "I stuck my neck out and fucking vouched for you. You're embarassing me." | ||

Take your idra fanboyism somewhere else. I meant "nobody" in a relative sense. I'm sure that was extremely difficult to comprehend. Let me know when Major is streaming to 20k+ on a holiday afternoon. Tough to argue with things like "numbers" and "statistics." But on the internet... | ||

Now he's looked up by a whole throng of idiots cause he acts like a dick. Not to mention the comparison is poor because IdrA is older and on a more important team yet still acts like a twat constantly. When it comes down to it, i like gosi[terran] for his play and his work ethic, going to Korea seems like a real goal for him that would mean a lot and he's been trying to work his way towards it for YEARS. If there were more truly professionally run teams that have actual communication and you know, were actual teams, it think he would do a lot better. For me it just feels like he wasted a load of time on a joke team that's below his potential. Maybe he'd do well in the Korean environment that others couldn't, i believe he was always known as a mass gamer who isn't bothered about putting the practice hours in - something which a lot of foreigners appear to struggle with these days. I noticed he's even in a very good ELO position on this very sites databases, yet people criticize him and talk about IdrA as some bastion that players should live up to? Newsflash: IdrA coasted on a mechanics advantage against every other foreigner and playing the beta as a pro from the very beginning. He doesn't have an advantage anymore, was never known as a clever/strategic (quite the opposite) player and unsurprisingly is now getting poor results. In a few years you'll be wondering why there was so much fucking hype in the first place. I mean for christs sake he basically had as much mechanics as Nestea (just without the experience), yet look at the difference now. Words of wisdom here.. back in BW Idra was never liked at all. Even now the ones who like him are probably the ones Idra hates the most -- the clueless pre-teens and bandwagon hopers who look up to players that can be the biggest dicks or cuss the most and get away with it. | ||

Seriously. I for one find Idra tame. As for major, he reminds me of Hunter S. Thompson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_S._Thompson Not bowing to the status quo, living life his way, etc. | ||

MC's throat slash is clearly a joke, and a pretty ridiculous and funny one at that. Flipping off someone is not making a show, it's just being a jackass. It's all about the attitude, and the context. You can tell from afar that what MC does, he does to please and motivate his fans, and he does an excellent job. Idra's gestures and attitudes are not related to the fans at all, he just wants to insult and look better than his opponents, which is sad. His constant childish attitudes really can't be compared to MC's, they're on a different mindset. While Maj0r just seems to be more of the socially inept type. Personally, I find maj0r a lot more tolerable, though his clan-hopping sucks. Idra leaves games prematurely and then proceeds to forfeit a whole series, damaging the tournament, and making it terrible for the show, that's just........................... well, it's hard to find the correct words..... | ||

in only 15 minutes he litteraly frowned at FXOtgun's strategy (you could hear the sound from his nose after the battle), calling him "so bad" after he outmicroed him (muta-bane vs infestor-hydra), then realized it's more even then he thought, and shut up. after that he made the same remark about coLminigun, because he mishandled the voidrays vs infestor/brood. so yeah, idra is so much more professional than princess... | ||

Major broke his contract and thus deserves to be booted of the team its as simple and straight forward as that. Remeber this Major broke his contract. It seems that sxjax doesn't accept douchebags and EG does. LOOL | ||

People are so desperate to hate on Idra. I don't like when he calls people bad either, and prefer him to talk about what he's doing etc. But seriously could you explain what you said in your post to someone who doesn't play Star craft and expect them to even care? He's bad mannered, sure, but hating on someone for being mildly insulting is kind of hypercritical? | ||
