The Millennium-statement makes it sound as if Complexity got Stephano drunk and lured him into signing their contract. I'm hoping for a less confusing update from Mil., before I decide whether or not I approve of this sudden change of heart. ^^

Didn't he sign a contract with Complexity?!?!?! you cant just back out after signing right?

A shitstorm in coL's general area.

Seems like basically, coL were like evil abductors trying to bait innocent little stephano into getting in the truck, and Mill. were like the parents talking sense into him.


LOL Exacty!

That's how i interpreted it after Reading the Article.. I don't really like Complexity !

I wonder what Col(Complexity)'s statement release is going to say about this Situation (ShitStorm)

And don't forget that a contract in France provides him with social care. And thus counts towards its retirement. That's not something he would have with coL.

I don't think he was thinking about that when making the decision.

Col has a lot more money to send him to tournament and they are affiliated with MVP, they could provide him a very good training in korea.

jeeze stephano can't sign a contract then say never mind... Should think about it more or talk with millenium before signing if you want to change your mind xD.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I'd consider this a smart move if that's how it went down.


Except you can't "sign" (a contract) with a team and then just take a better offer. This is what contracts are for. Following these developments with great interest.


Legally speaking I don't think if Complexity retains his contract that he can play anywhere not under them until this is sorted...or else comlpexity could legally sue him for any penny he earns playing for mellinium.


They wouldn't do either if they have any sense left in them. It certainly wouldn't help their image and popularity to hold a talented 18-year old player against his will, let alone sue him.

If he doesn't want to play for them, he doesn't want to play and that's that.


No that's not that. If he doesn't want to play for them he shouldn't have signed a contract to begin with. I'm 100% on coLs side on this one. If you ever want e-sport taken seriously, shit like this can't be allowed. There's no freaking point of having contracts to begin with if we allow things like this to happen.

Exactly. Everyone needs to understand this. This is exactly why Complexity has to do something about this. I don't know anything about international law so I don't know if they have any legal recourse. But if they do, they have to exercise it. And if they don't, Millenium better compensate them in some way or this could lead to a slippery slope of a shitstorm.

By the comments in the press release by Millennium toward Complexity. It sort of sounds like M guilt tripped Stephano into signing with them.

The one first and foremost to blame for this mess is Stephano, not the teams.

I lost alot of respect for millenium today. If stephano decided to stay with millenium thats fine but theres no reason to call complexity dirty if they offered him something he wanted and he took it. And millenium being well funded? Why did tod leave then?

I know he's young and all, but still. He can't just sign a professional sports contract (supposedly the biggest ever given to a French progamer) and then change his mind a day later because he has a better offer from his old team. He should have taken his time, listened to both teams, and decided instead of picking one and then suddenly going the other way.

They shouldn't force him to play, but if he really did the sign the contract, Millenium should be forced to buy out the contract to have Stephano on their team. He's a very talented player with a lot of potential to be the best foreigner in the world, so I can see why Complexity would be upset if he signed a binding contract. Him going to Complexity would up their popularity and give them a player who can go to Korea and try to be the first foreign GSL champion. Whichever foreigner, if ever, can win a GSL, that team will be rolling in sponsors and publicity.

The only way Stephano can get out if it, if they can prove coL achieved his participation with misinformation and shady tactics. This is an unfortunate issue for all parties involved

ooor Millenium has agreed to pay the bill for whatever sum complexity will sue after Stephano breached contract.

If he had signed one, obviously.



I can tell that things are going to be hectic at col. HQ right about now. :lol

Anyone else worried the stress from all of this confusion will negatively affect Stephano's play?

I hope everything turns out well...
