Glad they sorted this out. It's good to see that they paid a lot of respect to the contracts and forced Stephano to pay a fine for his actions. This is something that's seen quite often with star athletes in regular sports, and I think it's a good precedent to set for eSports. Well done to both parties.

The real loser here is the community. Will Mill send him to foreign events? Will he just sit and stew forever in some EU events?

Oh well. Stephano seems like he's only committed to 1 year playing SC2 and move on.

It was mentioned on live on three that coL had planned to contract both, negotiations take time, and signing naniwa was not a snap decision based on what happened with stephano

It would explain Naniwa's snarky post in the Stephano goes back to Mill thread haha.

Glad this situation is resolved but I would love to know what the fine was. However, if that information was released it would give clues to how much the contract was for, so not releasing the amount seems appropriate.

From the jason bass interview it sounds like stephano was ghost negotiating b/w himself and complexity, pretending to talk to mill about counter offers to raise the price complexity would go until he liked the number.

As mentioned on SotG, I feel that Col really made a good decision here, by ensuring there was a penalty, thus adding value to the player contract. Hopefully eventually the SC2 player contract will actually have some worth, instead of people just throwing it around like it's paperweight.

Well good to see this situation resolved I suppose, its too bad though, I doubt we'll end up seeing Stephano in very many events outside of Europe.

He probably just had to reimburse complexity for a bit of labor and contract fee's, Probably not a super high amount, but I bet it was still a blow too his pocket book
