Lack of content, flaming (of the French or anyone) and useless posts will be punished. Please keep it from being too inflammatory and keep discussion on-topic. -semioldguy (p.103)

Update: Please read http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=267506#1 and continue the discussion there.

don`t you have 14 days to step back from the contract? I`m not sure how this is in france or the states, but in Germany this rule stands for at least some types of contracts.
keep it deep! @zulison

Pretty messed up situation here. What is Complexity supposed to do now..... they can't just ignore people breaking contracts, but you really can't just "force" Stephano to honor the contract, because who wants a player who is unhappy and does not want to play for his team.

Demand compensation from Millennium. Reach some sort of contract buy-out. That is their only option.

Mill makes it sound like coL roofied Stephano and forced him to sign a contract. How can e-sports grow if people can back out of teams after signing a contract (which is kind of the point of making him sign a contract anyways?). It's a shitty situation that coL can't actually force Stephano to play for them, however signing a contract must hold some value? Dick move that will only hurt his image.

I don't understand how anyone can take a side between the two teams. Person to blame is Stephano, frankly, the guy is going where the money takes him and he's not smart enough to milk the best offers before he signs the contract.

I can see how this all went down:

CoL: Hey Steph, you can get xxx dollars a month here.
Stephano: Cool!
Millenium: Hey Steph, you can get xxx + 100 dollars a month HERE.
Stephano: But I already signed a contract..
Millenium: pfft.
CoL: We ain't gonna give him back you know!

I'm officially offering Stephano infinite+1 ESPORTS dollars to sign for my new team as our captain.

I don't like this bit

"The techniques used by Complexity to recruit Stephano were quite disorienting to influence our young player towards a bad decision."

Now unless Complexity got him drunk or slipped him some roofie and then signed the contract with his hand when he was unconscious then this seems like an accusation that Complexity have misled Stephano. If you're going to make an accusation like that you really need some details to back your claim up.

This is what irks me the most. There was a negotiation phase where both sides got to present offers and counteroffers. How did Complexity disorient or confuse him?

It's one thing for Millennium to sign an already-contracted player, its completely another to do that and insult the organization as well. Completely unnecessary escalation.


It really sounds like Millenium is just trying to discredit coL right off the bat by alleging immorality, hence the lack of specifics. Emotional arguments are so much easier to enforce without evidence. Hard to say who's being the asshole, but with the limited knowledge we have it's pointing towards Millenium and Stephano himself.

This is not surprising. The compLexity signing was really unusual, coming after it seemed like Millenium had secured Stephano to a new contract. (This was the impression, even if it was never said.) This had drama all over it this morning, had to think it was going to blow up by the evening.
