Agreed, but for different reasons. 1. Stephano has the chance to go to Korea and practise with DRG, under the Col banner. 2. Col needs to show that they are serious about their contracted players, or their top players will be leaving left and right as opportunity comes their way. | ||

-> Stephano's old contract is about to expire and Complexity approaches him -> coL und Millenium both try to win him over with offers and counteroffers -> Stephano finally accepts an offer from coL and signs a binding contract -> coL announces the acquisition -> Millenium realize they lost their best player and talk him into signing a new contract -> Millenium and Stephano announce their new contract on stream Sorry, but i don't see any wrongdoings by Complexity. | ||

I know that, but do they think by not having any French players, they are not developing French eSports themselves by supporting French players such as Stephano? It's all very strange to me. | ||

STOP thinking that Stephano was born without a brain! CONTRACTS have risks and rewards. Stephano did not have a fucking gun held to his head. He acted under his best interests. Let me give you a fucking example: If you sell a card collection of baseball cards, which you bought for $1, and you sell them for $20, you made a 20x profit. You are happy. Congrats. NOW, say fifteen minutes later, an appraiser brings $1,000,000,000 CASH for your cards, and begs you for them back. YOU CANNOT BUY BACK YOUR CARDS. Follow fucking litigation. Stop with this nonsense, PLEASE. | ||

You can listen to that show right HERE. I recommend anyone interested take a listen. Here is a brief synopsis of the show: "When questions arise about contracts and competitive gaming, The Loser's Bracket turns to attorney Graham Claybrook for advice. Starcraft player vVv Titan explains his recent contractual dealings with another gaming organization (we will leave them anonoymous to protect the guilty) and Graham helps us to understand our legal rights as well as how players can protect themselves. " The Loser's Bracket Podcast I'm still listening to it. Thank for providing the link. It is very interesting. | ||

No. What if an Arabian upstart e-sports community/team wanted you and would buy you in piles of gold? I would probably sign a contract with them and fulfill it to take their money. One of the worst posts I've ever seen here. I can't even understand what your point is. "What if someone paid you for the work you're volunteering? THEN WHAT WOULD YOU DO???" ??? | ||

Anyways I think it's best to stay loyal to your team through thick and thin, so ultimately this is a good move. Stephano is definitely one of the best foreign zergs so I'm not really surprised he has 2 of the most notable non-korean pro teams fighting over him. | ||

Contracts can't be broken without repercussions. I hope somebody does take the blame and take the responsibility. This can only hurt the competitive scene. Fix it soon, please! | ||

I doubt Stephano would accept an offer that was worse than what complexity had signed with him. | ||
