Yes a lawyer wrote a random series of words. Are you like fucking mill in disguise? | ||

A governing body will prevent these types of disputes, but it's not going to be good for the development foreign scene. Look at how Broodwar turned out? Also, I doubt the foreign scene will agree to the type of controls KESPA has put into place. | ||

That's seriously selfish from Millenium, they are killing Stephano's carreer, one year in SC2 is a LOT I am french and was on Millenium stream all night: Millenium's manager NEVER SAID THAT Stephano will go to many international events, even in korea. | ||

Millenium having a real content production and distribution strategy with avg. 3k viewer on THEIR own webtv (growing at >20% per monthlast 12 month). Col. content distribution strategy? See here: http://www.complexitygaming.com/streams/ Obviously killing stephanos carrer... right Facebook likes ? C'mon don't post ever again ... Do you know why Millenium got more hit on their stream ? Because it's the only french webTV on sc2 and french people are in average very bad at speaking/understanding English, it's not something you'll see in Germany or Sweden for example, not a lot of people understand english so with only one webtv its no wonder they got more viewer when coL face a lot of other international shows | ||

But he also said that there have been talks with the Korean team that Stephano will go to Korea etc. .. | ||

1. Even if Stephano had not signed any contract and had just verbally told coL that he was joining. For him to back out after agreeing to join speaks to his character (or lack thereof). I'm not sure what he was thinking (maybe he wasn't thinking), but this hurts Stephano's reputation and credibility and he's morally wrong to do what he did. There's no argument here against this point that is convincing. Nobody was holding a gun to his head, agreeing to something at 3AM is not an excuse for breaking your word. 2. If Esports ever wants to break through from fringe activity to mainstream, these types of legal issues will need to be sorted out in an actual court of law, or they'll continue to occur. Similar incidents have gone to court and were seen through to the end, but as I understand it they were Swedish courts ruling on Swedish teams and players. To the best of my knowledge an international legal precedent has not yet been set for this type of issue. That being said, there's no reason to believe any of this would be any different than the legal situation for regular sports. At some point, someone will take legal action and I commend coL for considering it, to the benefit of Esports as whole. Likewise leagues will have to address these issues as well (as they have in the past - again more with CS than SC). The only bearing the legality of the contract in France would have is on whether coL wants to take their chances in legal action. Even if the contract is totally invalid, Stephano is still morally in the wrong. It's also humorous to see so many armchair legal experts appear out of nowhere trying to push all sorts of weird and obscure laws to push their agenda. | ||

Stephano's carreer would be helped not by internet revenue alone but tournament wins aswell. Win big tournaments = big cash prize -> increased publicity -> more webstream revenue. If you never leave your country you gonna have a hard time winning big prizes. Even the koreans fly out all across the world to attend dreamhack/MLG etc. From sc2earnings.com place 78 MilleniumIlyes "Stephano" Satouri $6,515 in winnings. If complexity enables him to travel the world, instead of just france: the talent of stephano could be developed to aquire bigger wins. Ultimately it comes down to player skill and the backing of their team to develop that skill. Country borders should not be a restricting issue in the world of e-sports. We got normal sports doing that already. | ||
