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.


Legally speaking I don't think if Complexity retains his contract that he can play anywhere not under them until this is sorted...or else comlpexity could legally sue him for any penny he earns playing for mellinium.


They wouldn't do either if they have any sense left in them. It certainly wouldn't help their image and popularity to hold a talented 18-year old player against his will, let alone sue him.

If he doesn't want to play for them, he doesn't want to play and that's that.

He should've though of that before he signed it...I would be very disappointed if no penalty or SOMETHING happens as a result...otherwise what kind of fucking joke is even signing a contract when it's meaningless.

This actually sounds a lot more shady coming from Millennium... if he's already signed a contract with Complexity, you can't just ask him to come back and let that be that.

I'm guessing Millenium offered him more money after they realized they'd be losing such a great player. But that's the cynic in me talking.

LOL, if this doesn't cause a shitstorm I dunno what will.

A shitstorm in coL's general area.

Seems like basically, coL were like evil abductors trying to bait innocent little stephano into getting in the truck, and Mill. were like the parents talking sense into him.

Huh, I wonder how this will pan out. I feel like it puts complexity in a real hard spot if stephano already signed the contract with them. Because they kind of look like "the bad guy" if they enforce it and force stephano to play for them. That would begin their relationship on bad footing..

It's way too costly to pursue legal action. Plus you really can't do anything. What is coL going to do? Sue Stephano in France? Sue Millenium? The only way they can do that is if Millenium is in the US, or Stephano comes to the US.

There's no clearly defined international law that would allow coL to take action against Millenium. It's kinda weird because Jason Lake is a lawyer, he should know this

Soon Sc2 is no game anymore, it's a drama play.

THIS is not good for e-sport! 1 day there, 1 day there.

Stephano this was your biggest fail ever!

No that's not that. If he doesn't want to play for them he shouldn't have signed a contract to begin with. I'm 100% on coLs side on this one. If you ever want e-sport taken seriously, shit like this can't be allowed. There's no freaking point of having contracts to begin with if we allow things like this to happen.

The only way Stephano can get out if it, if they can prove coL achieved his participation with misinformation and shady tactics. This is an unfortunate issue for all parties involved

After reading an interview with Steph where he said he has been contacted by like every top team and declined cause he wanted to stay with Millenium, seeing him go to Col was very boggling to me. So this didn't come as a surprise really.

ESPORTS! So professional. This is what happens when kids make decisions. Another shambles brewing.

Yea this never happens with adults because we all know that everyone 18+ is full of wisdom and always makes the right decisions.


I'm guessing, just guessing, that the adult percentage of right decisions is a little bit higher, and at least they know that they have gotten themselves into. They can hate themselves later.

I was just trying to say that it's not the right way to bash on kids. Actually, it's just not right to bash kids.

Sounds like Stephano just signed something without really thinking about it and then Mill. found out and panicked to get him back :p Kinda shame it had to go trough public though..
