If anyone is doing the disorienting, it sounds like it's Millenium. My thoughts exactly. It sounds like they are taking advantage of his loyalty and friendship to Mill to guilt trip him/talk him into staying. | ||

Complexity said that he would have been one of the highest paid SC2 players. This must have been tens of thousands of dollars. Why would he even consider signing with Millenium? There must be some kind guilt trip that Millenium are running | ||

He's merely being presumptuous, which is an unhelpful distraction until more of the facts are made public. In my experience, when dealing with a large business, you can usually assume they get their stuff done right. I fully expect complexity to say the contract is valid while millennium will claim it's void. That's normal posturing. I hope complexity sues so we can find out who's correct. | ||

" So he apparently had been changing his mind atleast once, promising though that this was the last time, and is now saved by french law to do this kind of move. This caught my eye as well. Along with the part about negotiations for 18 days, it seems Stephano has been on the fence about this decision for some time, and now he's gone back on his word after making it binding (even if not legally, ethically). Everything that comes out of Mill regarding this issue either makes no sense or reeks of bias, and I'm starting to lose a lot of respect for them. Lots of people are telling coL to let this go, but I disagree. I think Mill should be the ones to man up and peaceably buy out Stephano's contract, because right now they are the ones who look bad in all of this. | ||

Either way, once you sign a contract, it's a pretty dick move to pull out. It doesn't matter what your reasons are, if you weren't sure, don't sign. I will have a very low opinion of both Stephano and Millenium if he does not follow through with his obligations. Its times like these where you need to show that you are a man and accept that your actions have consequences. 18 is not too young to understand this. | ||
