Funny how since this all started, a bunch of new TL accounts appeared making their first posts here to defend Millenium to death.

i wanna say two things.

first off to the people who hate on people forging opinions without the right contractual knowledge implicated in this. please go hate on something else as this is actually a fairly important matter. as a community it is our right and i dare say duty to forge oponions on this as this will help shape the foundation for what may lie in the future.

secondly my own opinion:
i don't have the knowledge about french or american contractual law in this case but i will form an oppinion as a human being. this to me paints a clear image of stephano and the millenium organization, to me this shows severe lack of proffessionalism and integrity from Stephano enough for me to completely loose interest in him as a gamer.
as for millenium this to me paints a picture of an organization falling appart fighting tooth and nail to keep their 1 remaining player being willing to fight dirty to do so if that is what will be needed.
i'll leave off with a little prediction.
i'm guessing that as for contract signing with decent pro gaming teams stephano is now either finished or severely crippled and may have to accept sub-par contracts in the future. as for millenium i believe they have 6 months to live at the top seeing as how they are willing to fight like this.

Yup. I think so too.

But if it's actually legal, the teams are going to make every attempt possible to get their player back. no matter how shady it looks.

Complexity was certainly the most professional and least to blame out of them, Millenium, and Stephano.

How in earth does someone who JUST signed a contract not slept several nights over it and just decided the other way around?

Alright, enough Drama, the OP should add some official statements of coL / Mil

EDIT: don't mean to be bashing the French. Post revised.

But I still think Millenium's argument is weak. It just seems to be based on emotional appeal to French nationalism.

And, to people astonished by his staying with [M], there's no way such a promising player would leave that kind of powerhouse (ToD, Adelscott, Tarson...) to join a semi-pro team like Col, even though he's more paid. Plus he already said he isn't interested in going to Korea.

Let's be honest : who do you prefer as a training partner ? Adelscott or CatZ ?

I'm not trying to be offensive, but there's just no possible comparison.

But I'm going to wait for Stephano's point of view to make an opinion.

Seriously. Did people forget that Complexity and MVP are brothers now?

You get Koreanzzz.

Plus, Complexity has far more resources at its disposal than Millenium.

Couldn't agree more.

Millenium may be a powerhouse in Europe (even that is quesionable), but there is no comparison between them and coL. The fact that coL and MVP are together is reason enough.

Reading is hard, amirite? The original post clearly said that Stephano had no interest in going to korea.

Reading does indeed seem to be hard, for you at least. Where did I write that I thought Stephano was wanting to go to Korea?

Where did he say he wasn't interested in going to Korea? Because I thought that that was just what the Mill statement said as justification for why he wanted to stay with them, and it wasn't actually something we heard from Stephano directly.

Well when Stephano signed on with Col at that point Mill should have been contacting Col imo. Thats what made everyone give all that shit to EG about Puma and Puma wasn't even contracted.

Kinda, yeah, when that player has already decided to leave your team and has legally contracted with another team, especially when you had 3 weeks prior to convince him to stay.

Yea someone should tell Mill and coL that Stephano doesn't want to go to Korea because they both mentioned it

Stephano would've been "one of the highest paid SC2 players in the world" at Complexity and they ensured that he would get "global travel" including to Korea.


does no one else find this odd? i mean, its stephano? sure hes a great player, but one of the best paid?

Thorzain, MaNa, Huk and Stephano is by fare the best foreign players atm. Yes he is worth it. If you haven't watch Stephano I strongly suggest you do

Then why would he sign a contract that would send him to Korea in the first place? Sounds like BS to me.

The contract had an OPTION to go to Korea. He would not have been forced to go.
