I still think Complexity deceived dis-oriented Stephano into signing something he didn't agree to. Not to mention the Contract wasn't a real Contract purportedly. And you still are incapable of understanding that US law matters too. Go away im tired of reading your horrible legal conclusions. | ||

From the sounds of it, no money or ANYTHING has been given to Stephano, and Stephano has done nothing for Complexity. If they have already sent Stephano a paycheck then yeah, then at the least Steph should return that. But IMO Col. should just cut their losses and let him go. Exactly what i'm thinking if Stepahno wants to stay on Millenium let him Stay. Complexity is pursuing this ... etc Causing more Drama and Possible Shit Storm. I hope Complexity drops the possible lawsuit etc .... Let Stephano Choose. | ||

What merz said is absolutely true given what we do know, that a contract was signed. If we find out the contract was bogus so be it but I think you're being a little presumptuous. | ||

Even if they think it is a good idea now, in two years when this would finally go to court Stephano may not even play the game anymore and they themselves don't really care about it. This is without even considering the money, time and effort it would require during this period. As noted, they may not even have a steady ground to stand on in terms of the legal basis of their claim. It would be interesting to take a look at the contract but even if it was rock solid I wouldn't recommend anyone sueing someone internationally. Even national law suits should be avoided at (almost) all cost. First off, I'm pretty sure you know you don't have to tell me things like these. Secondly, this is beside the point. It's a ballsy move if coL were to follow through and yes it might lead to sick complications but it's still a move that someone eventually has to do if you want to keep validity of contracts within e-sports. If this is looked over again, and again, and again, contracts will hold absolutely no value in the end. | ||

I just googled a bit and it seems like Mill had plans on starting a team house in france for their players. Maybe, just maybe that's more interesting to Stephano? We don't know and speculating and focusing on the korean aspect might be null and void if Stephano has no real interest in moving, right? In that case he has a really odd way of showing his desire to stay in France, with him signing with coL and all. | ||

Not to mention the Contract wasn't a real Contract purportedly. read this: Everyone is assuming French law is on Millennium's side (and it may be) but don't jump to conclusions. This was a contractor contract, NOT an employment contract. The jurisdiction was Texas, USA and France has treaties that cover such international contracts. We are still investigating this, but people should not write off our situation just yet. In addition, many spectators have doubted our willingness to follow through with legal proceedings (as I'm sure Millenium does). They need to study history more closely http://www.gotfrag.com/css/story/37209/ Again, no decisions have been made but I don't think certain people involved with this situation are taking it seriously enough. If their was a jurisdiction set for the contract it really shouldnt matter what french laws are if he signed to and agreed to it under texas jurisdiction, also it is not an employment contract and the 30 days to get out of a contract is for employment contracts. | ||

Does that mean I get to bring Idra HuK Seth etc. in to this argument? In reality world though col. has this cool deal with mvp where they can use their korean practice house and practice with their players.. which includes DRG Also Slush is on col who does quite well for himself at tournaments. albeit quietly. | ||

do americans think contracts are magic? the way some of you talk about "legally binding" and a "word of honour" sounds quasi-religious. under EU law, complexity's offer is considered an offer of employment; it doesn't adhere to the standards for such a thing. it's as simple as that. stephano made a mistake while tired, woke up and paniced, then realised he wasn't legally committed. dumb of him, but it's not a major issue. hardly anyone seems to realise that someone might be good at starcraft yet not WANT to fly all around the world and pursue a career in it. he's got a medical education ongoing and a fun hobby which makes him some money. if complexity can't pressure him into accepting a position on their team, then they should suck it up and not make themselves sound like legal idiots. | ||
