This seems like the best solution. Col didn't want a player who didn't want to be there, but they also didn't want to let him completely off the hook. I am glad to see some action was taken.

Well I'm glad things worked out for the most part. It's good that both teams showed that players can't roam around freely joining teams and then backing out whenever they please.

This sounds like a reasonable solution for everyone involved.

I'm also pleased that they asked Alex Garfield from EG to help mediate. Bringing in a representative from another team sets a good precedent for resolving future disputes. Perhaps the major teams will all sign an agreement to participate in some kind of mediation panel for situations like this.

Sounds like stephano has to pay a fine which I think is good as it was his fault this happened. Glad to see it got resovled fast though ^^.

Today, compLexity and Millenium are pleased to announce that the Stephano situation has come to an end. Complexity and Millenium have agreed to a settlement, in which a significant fine will be paid by Stephano in consideration of his role in creating the situation, and all parties now consider the matter closed.

Seems like its all over guys, Stephano pays a huge fine and stays on Millenium

This looks like it was the only thing that could of happened because Col made it clear they were not going to force stephano to play for them but they had to do something so that this breach of contract just went away unpunished

This should read "they had to do something so that his breach of contract didn't go unpunished." Sorry for being a grammar nazi

About the topic tho, this makes me sad

I liked Stephano before this. I guess no one taught him what a contract is.

Yes, I'm sure he learned to be more careful next time he lies to get more money.

You don't know his motivations. He's paying the price for his stupidity, so just let it go.

Sad for Stephano but really, you have to know that when you sign a legal document it's binding, you better the hell mean whatever you're agreeing to.

sounds reasonable, depending on the amount ofc. you make mistakes or do some silly things in life, you pay for them.

Well, while it sucks, it's really important that there is a penalty for breaking contracts like this, or there is no value in them, and that can only hurt the growth of ESPORTS.

So this seems like a decent resolution to me.

all parties, but that coL guy on Liveon3. A shame how he talked about young Stephano, live, to thousands of people.

Diverting their Stephano funds + his fine to Naniwa was probably better for them anyways. Naniwa is actually willing to live in the MVP house for years and will have a bigger US presence too, so he is a better pick up.

Thank goodness this was settled maturely. I was worrying for a moment.
