What mistake? Dealing with Europeans? Their deals with Koreans seem to have been successful thus far.

Please don't generalize like that, you insult alot of people. Not all of Europe is like france..

LOL. Not sure if you were joking or serious but hilarious either way.

Been a few hours since anything new has come up so I hope this thread gets some new information to discuss.

All that's left of this story is the drama.

Stephano CANNOT go to Col now.... I just don't see how this damage could be undone, so he's going to stay with Mill. Complexity is not a baneling, they are not going to blow themselves up trying to get legal revenge, because that's all they'll get if they sue. Lawyers are FAR more expensive than SC2 players, so rather than spend money suing an 18 year old Frenchman, they should just spend that money on another SC2 talent.

The only story left here is who Complexity is going to sign instead. If you're a pro player, near the level of Stephano, I'd be giving Jason Lake a call. He's eager to make someone "One of the highest payed players in SC2".

Hahah.. this made me laugh.. I do hope you were being sarcastic. I mean not all french people are represented by trollish TL posters claiming to be from france right?

YES! +1 for this man. Lebron James all over.

It's amazing how many people are posting in this thread that have less than 5 posts and are from France. I don't have a huge post count either but come on guys, you just showed up on TL to troll this thread, it's very transparent.. >_>

I just registered something like 24 hours ago, I couldn't already know about this drama :D

I think this situation doesn't deserves so many reactions, because eventually it's quite simple :

-As someone said before, Stephano obviously didn't receive any money, and broke his contract less than 24 hours after signing it. I don't think coL can win anything from legal pursuit.
-Stephano is for sure immature, as many 18 years old boys.
-Relying on Millenium, there's some mistakes in the contract between coL and Stephano, so that they shouldn't be able to engage legal pursuit under french law.
-Millenium made a strange move, but even though it's mostly Stephano's job to speak with his manager from Millenium before joining another team, is that really right to steal a player (even though he had no legal contract (which doesn't mean he had no engagement towards Millenium)) without telling it to Lewellys before ?

I think that all of them are wrong. They'd better not make public threads but fix this situation in private.

You think that all of them are wrong, based on your extensive research into all their actions and international contract law? Rofl. You clearly have 0 information in your brain to know what you claim to know.

I'll make it simpler :

- If coL engage legal pursuit, they won't have any compensation, or a ridiculous one.
- Stephano maybe behaved like a kid, but he's just 18 years old, does it deserve 3 000 posts about it?
- Both Stephano & coL should have told Millenium about this contract. Even though he had no legal contract, Stephano was still engaged with Millenium.
- Millenium's reaction is unfair too, maybe even illegal.

Eventually, no one of them make benefits from this situation. That's why I just said they were all wrong and should better fix this in private. Got it?


Col. is not looking for any monetary compensation, or at least it most likely very low on there priority list. They are looking to protect there organization for the future. A player they signed broke there contract, if they dont go after him what is stop there other players from saying

"Hay that stephano guy broke his contract without any recourse, Team zxy just offed me x amount of money so i am going to go over there since Col wont do anything if ii breach my contract with them"

I will wait to hear the other side of the story since there could still be things out there as things have come to light after the fact in past cases but in my point of view stephano messed up bad. If you are unsure about a contract dont sign it, get a second, third fourth ext. option untell you are sure about it. Right now all stephano can hope for is some loophole in the contract that col wrote to avoid legal action since it seems like col is going to be taking this to court.

Actually I don't think that it's very common to see a player breaking his contract after less than 24 hours. But well, you're not wrong.
By the way, I've read that Millenium said there were loophole(s) in the contract, and that would be the reason why they engaged Stephano (again).

If you guys are asking for more professionalisation, you'd better expect the teams to fix that kind of situation in private. Actually all of them lost some credibility. That's what I was meaning by "they're all wrong". Maybe coL is in its right, but in the end there won't be any winner in this drama, only losers.

the founder of complexity use to own a law firm and sold his share of it to pursue esports more. So i dont think lawyer fees for him will be a issue.

Cause there's plenty of those guys just everywhere. JLake is going to have his pick of SC2 aces come calling for a higher payday, you just wait.

2 wrongs don't make a right, and calling attention to the fact that you are trolling isn't very smart. Suggest you take a few minutes and read the 10 commandments.

18 year olds may not have the life experiences and foresight that older people have, but they certainly aren't a kid and should be held to the standard of an adult. If we are not going to do that then we need to change the age of majority so that they can't make the decisions we feel they're not ready for.

Nice troll. By saying that, you generalize some french behaviours on TL to every french behaviours.

18 yo's do tend to behave like kids, but their decisions hold weight and its something they need to understand. Although its clear that coL cant force Stephano to join, its also clear that some action needs to be taken in order to prevent this from happening again.

This only works if he also announces his old friends Thorzain and Naniwa are joining him on Millenium. Bonus points for an over-the-top intro at Millenium Stadium (build a goddamn stadium so this can happen).

First, I'm not so sure Stephano can't still join CoL. If CoL wants him he can and they certainly haven't ruled it explicitly yet. More importantly, if CoL doesn't do anything to enforce these contracts it will make all their contracts and the contracts they get people to sign in the future useless pieces of paper. Frankly, it wouldn't be a bad idea for all e-sports teams tocome together and spend a few grand here to help CoL out so they could collectively send a message here.
