i figured he was staying on mill, col wouldn't want to force him to play for them if he didn't want stay there, but im glad he's getting a fine. and im especially glad that this allows a precedent to be set showing that Contracts matter and you cna't back out because you "changed your mind"

Very fair, but will Mill pay for Stephano's fine?

Bad move for Stephano, his skills would improve much more in Korea under Col's banner.

I agree, i hope millenium really helps him out with that fine.

Especially now that they own him FOREVER now.

Well, seeing as I have no idea what REALLY happened... I'm happy Complexity got at least some fall back from all this.... Contracts HAVE to mean something, right?

Good to see things are resolved and proves my point even further that Stephano is not to be trusted in signing or taking part in any contracts. The fact he paid a fine proves Complexity was correct. Millenium also lost a ton of credibility as a professional organization by issuing a statement without actually saying anything regarding the situation.

"Actions have consequences" is a very good lesson to learn for such a young guy. I know a lot of people way older than 18 that should have learned this lesson earlier.

Glad that Complexity is satisfied with the final outcome, because imho they did nothing wrong. Of course we will never know all the facts.

How excruciating. I didn't think Stephano was the type of guy to make up things like "bidding wars" and play a part in an issue like this. I am very disappointed.

Wouldn't have been any drama if Complexity and Millenium handled this professionally from the start instead of starting an internet flame war with legal threats.

Hopefully, they've learnt their lesson and will handle disputes better in the future. Stephano certainly learned his.

So in the end Stephano is stuck on the same team, with an indefinite crappy contract and no hopes of playing more international tournaments and he has to pay a huge fine...he really managed to screw this up xD

It's an unfortunate situation, but I feel that the end conclusion was about the best that could possibly have come out of the situation. Good to see that they did end up talking about it and reaching some decision together.

Bidding wars are common and completely fine. This last minute whoopsiedoopsie is not.

According to coL's Jason:

Stephano told coL he didn't have a contract with Mill, so coL had no real reason to talk to Mill except in due respect. Stephano however told coL that he was constantly in talks with Mills getting counter offers so coL was under the assumption Mill knew all about the situation through Stephano.

This statement seems to pretty much say Stephano is a liar for creating this whole situation by lying somewhere during those 18 days. Does he have a contract? Who knows, and honestly who cares now. He has lost so much respect from the community whether you liked him or not, that it comes down to whether he can keep winning going forward. Hes a strong player, but things like this can jump the shark for people.

Good news, too bad that coL didn't get another great zerg player but good that this bad situation was able to be resolved in a mature way that seems fair for all parties.
