People will learn form their errors, whoever the "people" here may be.
To play or not to play, that is the question.

so whats in it for evil genius? they must have a masterplan to do something this kind! :D

awesome job, nice to see something like this can be settled!

i don't understand though why in e-sports nobody ever comes out with any numbers...
what is "a strong penalty" in form of a fine?
does Stephano pay it by himself or is he supported by Millenium? would be nice to know... investive journalism in starcraft ftw.

And I'm sure Stephano didn't get any fine, as this is all but a save-face statement for coL and Mill

Honestly I think it's best that we don't know all that yet. The amount isn't important anyway, what's important is that a correct precedent was set here. This was a bad situation, highlighting the many issues possible between players and teams. Complexity and Mill handled it the best they could, and set a proper precedent.

With all the possibilities for errors and legal issues with contracts between international parties (especially when teams are to young to have any dedicated legal council much less one with experience in that particular country's law) the scene can't afford to have perfect legalities, but a set of community guidelines is something that is needed. Contracts NEED to matter for the scene to have a healthy existence. You take away contract legitimacy and sponsorships will go down the drain because no one wants to invest in a scene where their star player can suddenly switch to another team with no repercussions.

A few years from now, I'd absolutely love to know all of those details. But right now I think we should all just be happy this was solved in a way that sets a good precedent for the future (regardless of any possible vagueness of the specific situation).

Good to see this resolved. I'm also happier that stephano got fined. I know its harsh but it has to be a harsh penalty to walk away from a signed contract.

We don't expect any less from other professional athletes. E-sports should be the same in my opinion.
You cannot always get what you want. But if you try real hard you can get what you need.

What?? Alex Garfield was involved in this? I knew EG had something to do with this.. hehe

I'm glad they worked it out.. it's like regular sports, if a team forces a player both parties will lose in the end because a angry/unhappy player won't deserve the support of the team and the team would be better off spending on another player..

For me this situation is resolved in the best way possible, Stephano stays with the team he wants, Col gets some money off this situation and cleans their image and Millenium gets the player and also cleans their image..

I'm fine with this!

So the story is over, but Stephano's part seems to be what really fucked it all up to start with, he's definitely lost some good will in all this, so Millenium got their player, now with less good will, and he also has to pay coL. I just really think it seems like Stephano acted like an arse in all of this...

Don't even say shit like that. Why do people constantly think that their opinion requires posting when it is in contrary to all information?

I for one think this is the best outcome that we could have had, it set a precedent for not screwing teams over, and no-one had to go to litigation, which i think would have weakened the image of both teams.

Good job Col, Alex Garfield and millennium. And i wish you luck in the future stephano.

PS by the openness that Col dealt with this, i have become a huge CoL fan.

The world is ending what should we do about it?

What would Col have to gain by agreeing to such misinformation?

Well good news I guess

In the end who does Stephano end up playing for? Millenium? or neither of the two teams?

Millenium.

And to the post asking what does EG have to do with this, on Lo3 Jason Bass mentioned that Alex Garfield has been talking with major teams about forming something like the G7, but better, which is badly needed to help prevent something like this from happening again among other things.

dunno, somehow it feels to me that Stephano took part of the blame for Mill, considering how Mill. badmouthed compLexity in their first public statement. But maybe that's just what Stephano told them and they only believed their players (which is a good thing).
