Sounds like coL gso. Would be interesting to see how much the fine was for. Obviously a 20 dollar fine wouldn't mean much, and wouldn't detur this kind of behavior in the future.

Well isn't that part of being a young adult, to do mistakes?.

You still have to pay for them. In this case, literally.

i don't think you can use the mistake excuse. from what bass said, stephano was telling col that he was getting counter offers from mill that whole time they were negotiating. mill, on the other hand, said they didn't know anything about it. something shady going on with that kid.

No one knows its all speculation. You know what I think? I think Stephano would have loved to goto complexity but got pressured back to millinium

Some of you people are seriously nuts. Most of you know nothing what really happened and half of you want to crucify him for killing Esport.

He is a young adult he properly did some mistakes, Millinium did some mistakes and complexity properly also did some mistakes.

Most of you guys will do mistakes in you life so get of you high horse and stop all the hate

You know who else made mistakes, Hitler. I'm going to get off my high horse, take the high road, and not be critical of those mistakes.

And Stephano is the one who broke the contract and now has to pay for it, simple as that. Glad this got resolved and I'm glad that there has been a fine as actions like this are unacceptable. Sure he is 18, but he still screwed up and has to own up to his mistake.

I haven't read most of this thread, only the first couple of pages of comments so maybe this was already mentioned. If I'm understanding the situation from this latest update, Stephano was lying about the counter offers since Mill didn't know that CoL was interested which means that he was purposely driving up the price. If this is what truly happens, pretty sad to see him lying to get a pay check increase assuming he joined CoL at the end, more respect lost XD Either way, glad the situation was resolved peacefully but GL to him with his new image

Or some would call it a sound business mind.

Yah, scum bags....

If he was really lying and was the main cause for the problems then he seems to have gotten punished for it, seems good to me.

Hopefully this will team Stephano and the rest of the Sc2 scene an important lesson. Don't fuck around with contracts.

I'm glad that Complexity and Millennium have come to a mature and respectable agreement, really shows the professional attitude needed for this sport. Also I think it's absolutely fair to hold Stephano responsible for his part in causing this confusion. He is an adult and while he shouldn't be destroyed over this, he should have to pay in some form for the confusion/damages he made (albeit temporarily)

I find it fun that the ~200 pages filled with legal and contract arguments and people speculating wildly on what would happen all were pointless just a day later. People really need to give it time and stop blowing things out of proportion.

It's definitely progress to see that a significant penalty was added for the actions of Stephano and Millennium - this just reassures that esports is moving into the right direction by taking contracts seriously.

I also think it's really cool that EG and coL and Mill are all able to sit down and have a conversation which began with such anger and ended up resolving all problems. Good work on all parties' ends.
