This RIGHT here will set the precedent the case with Puma was similar but not exactly this is the first time a player signed a contract then backed out.


Then what would you call the coL/Destiny fiasco? Certainly seemed like a similar thing to me.


Difference is Destiny resolved it internally with col and there was no influence from another team.

On stephano´s Stream they sayd no contract had been signed and Millinium made 1 last offer in the last minut and comlexity was to fast to anounce it

Yeah and Stephano/his fans aren't biased at all.

Who isn't? CoL will be biased to CoL, Mil will be biased to Mil, Stephano will be biased to Stephano.

So far CoL has a history of contract "misfortunes", with Destiny, vvvTitan and now Stephano. So who to believe?


Exactly my thoughts and people thought i was crazy for Calling CoL a sneaky snake when this is the 3rd time this 'Situation' has Happened with Complexity.

Stephano was probably pressured into signing .. This is obviously apparent when Stephano so quickly changed his mind and/or didn't feel the contract was what he agreed to and/or was deceived by Complexity.



3rd times the charm


I dont think you have any idea what you are talking about. Just take a break, cold shower, fap if necessary, then come back and see what happens.



Stephano Changed his mind the next day... or soon after..

This probably means he was pressured into signing and if multiple people who posted here are right about French law then CoL. cannot sue Stephano and/or Millenium for Changing his mind because there is a 1 month grace period since the beginning of contract initiation. If he did indeed bind himself to a Contract.

And if CoL wants to take Legal action against Millenium they have bad intentions in mind since Stephano probably never wanted to be on Team Complexity.. reason being he ended up choosing to stay with Millenium...


I think you keep missing the part where he had 18 nights, 18 cold showers, 18 fap sessions to think it over. That is not what we call "pressured"


All that is fine.... right up until a binding contract is executed, which it was.

Totally Uncalled for 18 Fap Sessions? -_- Not cool

This is Stephano's Choice he wants to stay with his French Team millenium Maybe he got scared and changed his mind because he would be Home Sick


Thats fine up until they sign a binding contract, which he did.


User was temp banned for this post.


God what fucking douchebag that guy was, glad he got a 2 day ban.

>.> heh


Either way I hope Millennium and Stephano come out with a reasonable explanaition as to what is going on.

Millennium is properly spelled with two N's.

I may be wrong because it's been a few years, but I think from the Latin, Millenium (one n) means 1,000 anuses.


Millennium in french is Millénium, with one n.


This is kind of a weird situation : /

Whatever happen tho, I will still be cheering for Stepheno.

I just remember there being a bunch of laughter at the Mazda Millenia because of the naming error XD

Oh well, shows how ignorant of French I am, even though I lived there for 2 months.

What? This is significantly different to EG's problems (if you are referring to the whole PuMa fiasco) since this one actually involved negotiations, with team managers/owners involved, a player making a decision, signing a contract...

And then changing his mind and relying on "loopholes" to hopefully get out of it.

it's not a loophole in france as far as i know, it's more of a part of management-labor relations. unions and individuals have a lot more power in the workplace there than they do here, so it's not a surprise that they'd have a grace period for contracts where the one signing can back out.

Complexity has a lot of experience with esports and legal dealings and I am pretty sure cut their teeth dealing with EG. Does Milennium have and experience with this or is this like a shark out for fish blood.

I don't see how this similar to EG signings at all. All the moves that EG did were completely legal and above board. They may have not been popular with certain parts of the community but that's a different story. I equate this more with the Koreans pulling out of NASL after signing contracts to particpate.

Best in the world at what I do

the question is does complexity have the money and will to go through a possibly protracted legal battle over what, by this time next year, will probably be a mostly forgotten controversy despite their contentions about what kind of precedent this will set.

I don't think (and hope) that compLexity is looking to hurt Stephano in anyway. I'm sure if Millennium properly compensates compLexity by buying out his contract there will be no issues. If Millennium doesn't want to, or doesn't feel Stephano is worth doing that, they should let him go to compLexity. Either way, its a weird situation that shouldn't have arisen, but I guess its another example of Stephano's age (not saying hes immature, or a dumb kid, just that he doesn't know how the real world works quite yet). Hope to see a peaceful and amicable resolution to this.

And what do you think the definition of "loophole" is. It may or may not be legally okay for him to do this, but it's still pretty ridiculous to sign a contract then back out less than 24 hours later.

While I do hope the issue is resolved, It would be interesting to see what would happen if this went to court....wherever that may be XD

The definition of a loophole is something that allows you to get out of an obligation based on a technicality.

That is not the case here as the grace period is not a technicality, it is as far as I know a conventional part of French labor laws/relations...

It may or may not be legally okay for him to do this, but it's still pretty ridiculous to sign a contract then back out less than 24 hours later.


This is based on what knowledge you possess?

Hopefully compLexity takes legal action and quires Stephano because I think Stephano wll get more exposure to foreign tournaments (outside of EU)

If esports keep growing, eventually agents will represent players on contract signings, avoiding these awkward situations.

1. This "grace period" is not mandatory. It has to be explicitly written in the employment contract, or it doesn't exist. It would be perfectly valid, under French law, for Stephano to sign an employment contract without it. However, in practice I do not know any long-term employment contract that does not have such a provision, because :

2. What you call "backing out" is not limited to the employee. It is equally possible for the employer to back out during this "grace period", and in practice it is the more common occurence (the reason for this is that dismissing an employee after this point is fairly difficult in French law, hence some employers will abuse the grace period to repeatedly hire people for one day less than the grace period).

3. There is actually something similar in British law. However, it is much easier to dismiss employees in British law than in French law, so this disposition is almost never seen across the Channel (which kind of proves that it is actually more attractive to companies than to workers, and not merely the product of *cough* French communism).

4. While you personnally did not use those terms, I have often seen terms such as "breach", "break" or "void" the contract to describe using the "grace period" provision. All those terms are inadequate. A more adequate term is "terminate". The contract is no longer applicable, but it was applicable up to that point, and all its obligations were held (by both parties : employee had to work, employer had to pay). You do not breach, or break, or void anything when you terminate your WoW subscription, and this is exactly the same.
