I was joking. I am 100% on Complexity's side if he signed a contract. I want Starcraft, to you know, actually be respected as an e-sport. If people don't respect contracts, I can see why sport sites like CBS or Yahoo would make fun of people acting like SC2 could be a real sport with loads of money getting produced from it. | ||

On the other hand, does Complexity really want to fight to keep Stephano around at this point? He clearly will not be happy with the team after requesting takebacksies, and what's the point of "owning" a player that doesn't even want to be a part of your organization? Just a sad day for everyone involved. | ||

Then we also have this, from like a week ago: @mbCARMAC Michal Blicharz A "pro" gaming team offered a top player a good salary, but wouldn't show him the contract until he committed to join. #thisisesports too... I can assure you that Carmac's quote was not about us. Stephano had several versions of the contract for weeks. | ||

Just a sad day for everyone involved. coL already stated they won't keep a player on their team who doesn't want to be there. HOWEVER, they will also be seeking damages, likely in the form of Mill having to buy out Stephano's coL contract or something of that nature. | ||

Validity of the contract? How players can protect themselves? Sorry but I'd like more details than that. Besides, vVv is more of a clan than a team, and LordJerith has left a bad impression on me as a team manager before(berating his staff and expecting a lot for little). | ||
