Apparently, French law allows any worker to retract from a contract within 30 days.

To give my 2 pence opinion, why couldn't someone change his mind? Every one does. and here it does not have any serious consequences. There isn't much at stake, no big deal, no money loss... just promises and business honour (i.e. nothing). Of course, Col are disappointed, but no one is dead.


In the case of a buying contract, it is my understanding that it is only 7 days.
But I don't really understand all that legal business, so I don't care.

I find Stephano's behaviour shameful, I'm completely on Col's side. Never been a Stephano fanboy, even though I'm french, and that sure is not going to happen now. Millenium also seems to have a very questionnable behaviour in the matter.

Millenium and Stephano are completely in the wrong here. One more than the other perhaps, though I wouldnt know whom. Either way I didnt really care much for mill before coz I only have that much time in a day and now I never will. Stephano on the other hand I did care about to the extent I could but now meh, just another player. Talented he is though, such a shame it had to go down like this.

BTW, Millenium's manager is saying on stream right now that he doesn't intend to send Stephano in international event more than he used to, and will focus on the french scene.



yeah that booming french scene, where players grow and prosper.


ya it is quite sad... from what ive seen he has tremendous talent and potential. missing out on becoming a true top level international player and growing in korea will be a huge missed opportunity. Not only that, the incident with the contract will certainly be a black mark on his career in the future.

However, as the french would say... c'est la vie

Good news.I really wished Stephano to stay in a french team.
Millenium had to sign a contract if they were that rich before complexity intervened.

I dont care what contract stuff happens, i like Stephano for his PLAY and his personality.
why do such things affect ppl so much, i dont get it


Because this reflects on his personality. Like this:

The fact that they're trying to hide behind the fact that it is non-binding at all doesn't even matter to me. A man's word should be his bond. Obviously, this doesn't work in the legal world and I understand if he finds a way to get out of the contract, that doesn't mean he'll regain me as a fan.


If he really signed a contract and then just decided "eh, I don't wanna" that shows he is immature and can't be trusted. Not exactly the kind of personality that is very likable.

Yeah and Stephano/his fans aren't biased at all.

Who isn't? CoL will be biased to CoL, Mil will be biased to Mil, Stephano will be biased to Stephano.

So far CoL has a history of contract "misfortunes", with Destiny, vvvTitan and now Stephano. So who to believe?


Exactly my thoughts and people thought i was crazy for Calling CoL a sneaky snake when this is the 3rd time this 'Situation' has Happened with Complexity.

Stephano was probably pressured into signing .. This is obviously apparent when Stephano so quickly changed his mind and/or didn't feel the contract was what he agreed to and/or was deceived by Complexity.



3rd times the charm


I dont think you have any idea what you are talking about. Just take a break, cold shower, fap if necessary, then come back and see what happens.



Stephano Changed his mind the next day... or soon after..

This probably means he was pressured into signing and if multiple people who posted here are right about French law then CoL. cannot sue Stephano and/or Millenium for Changing his mind because there is a 1 month grace period since the beginning of contract initiation. If he did indeed bind himself to a Contract.

And if CoL wants to take Legal action against Millenium they have bad intentions in mind since Stephano probably never wanted to be on Team Complexity.. reason being he ended up choosing to stay with Millenium...


I think you keep missing the part where he had 18 nights, 18 cold showers, 18 fap sessions to think it over. That is not what we call "pressured"


All that is fine.... right up until a binding contract is executed, which it was.

Totally Uncalled for 18 Fap Sessions? -_- Not cool

This is Stephano's Choice he wants to stay with his French Team millenium Maybe he got scared and changed his mind because he would be Home Sick


Thats fine up until they sign a binding contract, which he did.

I don't quite see why everyone is up in arms. If his actions were legal under french law then we shouldn't blame him for making a decision which is legal and which he thinks is best for him. Obviously it's a less than ideal situation, but it seems as though Stephano was allowed to change his mind about signing with Complexity and did and that's all there is to it.

If anything, Complexity should have looked into the legal implications of signing a contract with a French citizen and been more discrete about the possible move. If they hadn't jumped the gun and announced that he was joining right away, this could have been avoided.

You can't fault an 18yr who is being pulled from both sides for changing his mind, if said change is completely legal according to the law he is familiar with.

What misfortunes with Destiny? He didn't want to be on the team, they were cool with it, and they went their separate ways. Did they force Destiny to give them money to get out of his contract?


Stephano Doesn't want to be on the Team and it appears with the laws in France... Stephano can legally breach/break his contract within 1 month of the legally binding day.

Right, but Destiny didn't use his contract with Complexity as leverage to sign with another team.

THAT is the despicable thing done by Stephano. He simply used coL

Nothing wrong with trying to get a higher salary, which was the situation beforehand with all the counter offers. It's the whole signing part that's fucking stupid.

Exactly. Hence the "using his contract with Complexity as leverage".

If Mill has the audacity to hide behind the borders of their country instead of approach the community and the coL team with respect, it would be absolutely appalling. They're sitting on a stream spewing slander about this whole incident.

This is hands down one of the most unprofessional teams on the eSports scene.

Lwl states again that there is a signed contract between Stephano and coL, but that the contract wasn't complying with french labor law, that millenium staff showed the loopholes of the contract to stephano, and that stephano therefore decided to cancel his agreement.

I'm just curious, does Stephano live at home? If so maybe his parents talked him into it or something.

Makes sense that they don't want him flying around the world playing if they are the usual protective parents that don't really know what SC2 is ^^.
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

The more I hear from Millenium's managers the more I understand why ToD decided to go for FnaticMSI.
