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.

Signing with coL making Millenium give him a raise perhaps?
I'd consider this a smart move if that's how it went down.


Except you can't "sign" (a contract) with a team and then just take a better offer. This is what contracts are for. Following these developments with great interest.

So exactly how old is stephano? Did he even understand what he was signing when Complexity put the contract in front of him?

Not looking good.


Born '94. This is pretty interesting, personally i would've wanted to see him in coL.


Born 94?

That means he's either 16 or 17... doesn't seem like a legally enforcing contract.

I do not understand... literally I do not understand what this says. Anyways, I guess it makes more sense for him to stay on an european team with players he can practice with at decent hours and in the same language.

This is strange, but if Stephano actually signed a contract he's legally bound to work for coL, isn't he?

Cedric "Cedrix" Page, President of Millennium :



"Since the beginning of the Millennium, we dreamed of a French-discovered structure esport of young players with great potential, would support them in their passion and escort them to the summits ... Stephano joined Millennium in early Starcraft II, virtually unknown. We have supported the best so far. It is now considered a great hope of the world circuit, with enormous potential, and let him go to another team would have been for us a real failure, nonsense. The means by which to recruit Complexity Stephano was disorienting enough to influence our young player to a bad decision. After discussion, Stephano realized his mistake and decided to stay permanently, for the next 12 months, at Millennium .




The day was still troubled rich teaching.
This morning, the announcement of the departure of our American player to a structure, the majority of the French community has regarded this transfer as an increase in "logical". I have even seen fans of our site editors write that resignation Millennium "was not the weight." So let's stop devaluing, stop to think that French should leave the country to succeed. The site is millenium.org more page views than sk-gaming.com site or any European or American team out of Team Liquid. Our budget is certainly one of the world's largest structures among the e-sports. Let us therefore not as good as we are because we claim to be a French team.



Stephano as agreed to sign an employment contract CDI, as "Professional Player", identical to a professional sportsman. He will tour the world to win many tournaments, from Asia to the United States. We place our hopes in him, our dreams of victories made in France, but we also expect many of our other players and the upcoming Starcraft composition League of Legends ...

They make us dream and vibrate! Millennium that shines for all sports fans-mail that you are and that we are!"

Sad news for complexity, especially since he was only very recently announced to be joining them but great for Millennium and the French E-Sports scene.


I'll translate this properly for you, because some of this totally wrong.

"Since the start of Millenium, we dreamt of a french eSport platform that would discover young players with great potential, would support them in their passion and would follow them to the summits of skill...

Stephano joined Millenium at the start of Starcraft 2, practically unknown. We supported him as best as possible until today. He is now considered like a great hope for the world circuit with amazing potential, et to have let him go to another team would have been a complete failure for us, a nonsensical thing.

The techniques used by Complexity to recruit Stephano were quite disorienting to influence our young player towards a bad decision. After a long discussion, Stephano understood his error and decided to definitely stay with Millenium for the next 12 months

This troubled day was, however, full of teachings.
This morning, with the announcement of our player to an American team, the majority of the french community considered this transfer as a "logica" progression. I even saw some amateur writers of our site write with sadness that Millenium "could not compare."

Now, let's stop bringing ourselves down, lets stop thinking that a french player has to play abroad to succeed. The Millenium.org site has more page his then SK-Gaming.com or any other european or american team outside of Team Liquid. Our budget is certainly one of the biggest in the world in terms of E-sports teams.
So let's stop seeing ourselves as worse because we are a french team.

Stephano will sign, as agreed a CDI(Contrat a duree indeterminee, ie: a contract of work with no expiration date) as a "Professional player," identical to those signed by profesionally sportsmen. He will travel across the world to win many tournaments, from Asia to the USA. We put our hopes and dreams of a French victory on him, but we also expect a lot from our other Starcraft players et our soon to be League of Legends team...

Let them make us dream and cheer! Let Millenium shine, for all the passionate fans of electronic sports that we are!"

Thanks very much for this, I am not a native French speaker so I couldn't translate it without the help of a translating tool. I will edit this into the op if that's ok.

Was this translated from French by somebody who doesn't really know english or was this just run through a auto-translator because half of this post makes no sense >.>

That said, this could get messy. It's pretty odd for coL. to make a big acquisition announcement and then have that same player "change his mind" the next day? Weird....

Edit:Thanks for better translation that makes a lot more sense.

I can understand why Millenium wants to keep Stephano with them, but if he signed with Col already, there is nothing they can do.
Also, I believe that Col would be better for Stephano.
