Greetings everyone,
As you may now know, it has been announced yesterday that Stephano had been hired by team Complexity, and a few hours later, that he had finally decided to sign a permanent position contract with us, Millenium, under conditions previously fixed with him (without any intermediate overbidding).
Although we are very confident that, from a legal point of view, Millenium isn’t violating any applicable rule or law, we would also like to emphasize our good will to see this situation solved the right way.
We now want to enter a discussion phase with coL to try and find a solution consistent with the professionalism and respectful practices in the growing scene of eSport that both structures wish to promote and support. If anything, this unfortunate series of event has pointed out the impending necessity to ease worldwide communication between structures, and players, to avoid this kind of situation from ever occurring again.
To our fans and to all the people supporting eSport in general, we want to thank you for your everlasting support and for your interest in the values that should be carried by eSport structures.
As for the people who may have been disappointed, shocked or offended, we would like you to understand that Internet gossip is not always ground truth, and that things are often more complicated than they might seem to be. We would like to apologize for the long time it took us to release a statement, but the last two days have been very stressful and exhausting for everyone involved. In addition, very practical difficulties ranging from busy schedules to time differences partially account for some of the mistakes or misunderstandings that might have led to this complicated situation.
Hoping that you will understand us,
The Millenium Staff

|
i guess this is better than nothing
|
What whiplash said .........
|

|
this is a joke. not even one fact is stated in this text about the actual happenings. not even one. hope col sues the shit out of millenium, the way they treat esports and this situation is a joke
|
You managed to say absolutely nothing with this statement 
|
This statement sound like something politicians from my country say every day on TV. It sound like a lot of talk and no content.

unfortunately it is nothing. "we wont tell you what happened from our point of view and we hope we wont need to go to court, so we now contact col after ignoring them for 2 days beforehand"
having no statement at all didnt leave us with less information than this
|
Hope the two sides can come to a resolution without further legal actions.

This. Sounds like what you did was take Stephano into a room and call him a traitor to your country until he signed with you
|
I don't really see how Millenium can be in the right here, but I'll take your "gossip is not always ground truth" until you actually give us any details. I can understand the competition that has emerged for this player though, he is a beast.
|
So an official anouncement from CompLexity over thir website, over reddit.com and over TL is "Internet gossip"? What dou you guys think you are?
I hope CoL take their legal rights, not against Stephano, but against a company like Millenium.
|
millenium made stephano to sign a permanent contract, thats probably the worst thing stefano could do

This tells us almost nothing about the situation. At least we know that Millenium is ready to actually respond to Complexity's emails at this stage.
|
This explains nothing...but ok. Hope for both team's sake that this doesn't keep devolving.
|
Gossip? I dont see gossip as there were sources qouted.
Though, I guess accepting arbitration in the issue would be good for both sides?
even though Stephano signed a contract with Complexity..........

You could be transparant and tell the public of the details that all the rumourmongers are having a field day about... or you can not release anything, tell us not to listen to any stories, and keep us all guessng. yeh that works too.

funny that after millenium "do the dirty" they are saying there needs to be some governing body to stop it from happening.. how about you dont take the piss in the first place, have some morals. You guys have just sent stephanos career back into ths stone age with this **** move -- who will trust him in the future?

Don't worry, people like to generate drama.
