This drama is way over the top.

The only damage Col received from this is due to their hasty announcement, not even waiting for Millenium to be informed and letting them make a goodbye message which leads one to suppose that they thought that if they didn't close the deal as fast as possible they had little chance to sway Stephano away from his team.

Also in order to properly contract a French citizen you need a contract that is written in both English and French and more importantly that satisfies French law, I don't see how this is even a matter of controversy.

This has simply turned into a excuse to engage in some thinly veiled France and US bashing.

This thread feel so full of pro US bullshit. Like saying french law should be like in the US. Since when the US is a good exemple of justice ?
Let's keep it a discussion between a player and two team.

The main point is, if Stephano would have signed and officially gone to the US with CoL and then would have gone back to Mill, this would have been a very bad move.
But Stephano had contracted with CoL since only a few hours : I suppose it's okay to admit that there is a certain time after the signing to retract yourself.

and your pro France bullshit is not a bit better than the pro USA bullshit. fuck off nations, this shouldn't be part of e-sports - but appearently the Millenium guys have a different opinion on that. I hope they really have to pay lots of money for the crap they created

I am not pro France in this regard, French's justice is as bad as US' justice in my opinion, and if you consider Mill & Stephano the eSport definition of France, then I do think they acted rather immature in this specific situation : CoL feel robbed and they have the right to think so, but I suppose going to court is a bit too much, an apology should be enough.

Stephano certainly did himself no favors. Which team is going to look his way when big money comes up for a new player?

Idra is far to be the most respectfull and manner man in the world, that never closed him any door, because he is a very good player.

Same for Naniwa 10 month ago when everybody was blaming his behaviour (he is a nice guy now).

If their behaviour didn't cost them anything, i've no reason to worried about Stephano's futur

NOT true naniwa was kicked out of 2 teams and the german esl pro serias because of his bahaviour.
but u are rigth that because of hes a good player he got sigthed by dignitas.


but back to topic i think its rather disturbing that a player thinks he can just ignore a contract and do what ever he wants to. if e sports ever want to reach that kind of professionalism that basketball football and so on have these things mustn't happen.

All I see is a bunch of French people defending a team that have wronged the community and eSports in general. There might be a loophole in the French law that protects Millenium from being sued by Complexity, but that does not mean that they handled this the right way. In most countries when you sign a contract, it is binding. If you sign a contract saying that you will represent a specific team, then you should do just that.

TL:DR; Whether or not the french law is on Milleniums side, they are by no means right in their actions, clearly keeping Stephano means more to them though - so I hope it was worth it, considering how much they just lost in bad publicity.

Yes and players need someone to protect their interests and give them advices for their career (like Union, Agents, Lawyers, etc...). It doesn"t exist atm.

E Sport is very young. It's not surprising it fails from time to time. No reason for a drama like this one BTW.

I don't understand people who cares so much about this that they "wish Stephano and Millenium will never be able to play a competition anymore and the guy will only play Go4sc2 until the end of his miserable existance !"

COME ON ! Stephano is young, he fucked up hard, coL's manager cryed a little bit but i really don't think this deserves 3k posts of hating O_o. Are we just in real world? I mean no one died, when i read this thread i got the feeling a crowd of angry men will brake him into little pieces when he'll travel to MLG (if CIA don't arrest him at the airport).

Calm down, he didn't eat your mothers.

I think it's just more of a passion for e-sports thing than anything else. You tend to care a lot about what's going on on the things you really care about.

This is just bullshit, I don't think Complexity did anything to disorient him. If they did I just don't understand how it's possible to not understand what Stephano did when he signed the contract. It's not like he's 13, he's 18 ffs.

And Millenium doesn't seem to be all that professional either.

Out of interest what age is the age of majority in your imaginary world?

I find it very interesting that all people stress that Stephano is so young (allegedly) when he is in fact old enough to be legally and morally responsible for his actions.

Regarding the other stuff in your post, you should probably consider how silly the internet is in general, some minor scandal like this is enough to spawn 10 days of nerd rage at the very least, until the next piece of interest comes along.

I think when a player goes back on his own WRITTEN word so deliberately, it's probably a bit more serious than in-game BM and/or behavioral issues. Make no mistake, there will be a backslash against this type of unethical, shitty attitude.

I see this all the time, and yes, 18 is the legal adult age it says very little about how grown up a person is. Going from a protected environment in high school directly to signing contracts for alot of money can be hard. Especially if the person isn't sure on what they want in the future (move, travel etc).

There's a huge difference between having a temper and going back on contracts. Not every country has these legal loopholes, ya know.
