Discussing the controversy and stating your opinions in a constructive way is fine, but there will be bans for any player/organization bashing without anything to substantiate it.

Need more better information. If it's true, sucks for TSL. Hope the situation clears up for all sides and that no one loses too much face.

Considering I had multiple sources confirm the aLive > Fnatic thing independently, I'm finding it hard to believe what ToD posted.

Sorry ToD.

Hate to rain on the fire but looks like this type of killer drama might be the end of TSL and alive.

I just find it weird that it's always TSL and no one else, seems to be something wrong with TSL not with the other teams...

Haha funny how drastic the comments are compaired to when EG "poached" PuMa, that thread looked like a war while this one is pretty tame, funny. but for the better.

It's MUCH more complicated than Rekrul summed up. Of course 'shit goes on' behind the scenes, but no one who is posting in this thread knows about it.

ah poor coach lee...I know he is a great coach and people probably are going to read this and actions coach lee takes and hate on him. TSL is a great team (Polt is one of my favorite players), and that this crap keeps happening over and over is really unfair. If what coach lee says is true, alive and Fnatic really are pulling rather unprofessional antics

I can see aLive going 0-4 this afternoon and soon disappearing without a trace. Thats what is happening with FD/Tester/Rain/Jyp/SangHo and Puma (forever Code B) to a lesser extent (Clide is another case)
I mean, thats what you get for leaving for cash and relaxing practice.
TSL is not doomed by any means

To be fair, FD faded away far before leaving TSL. Also, Puma has indeed been Code B for quite some time, but he actually has only attempted the Code A qualifiers once if I recall, and I wouldn't say he is disappearing without a trace considering he ranks in at #5 of most prize money won in 2011 and that money has come from recent events.


Bolded statement is incorrect. I've seen him at 2 of them. I will assume its more than 2.

I stand corrected, but also I believe he has not attempted the qualifiers more than twice.

There has to be some problem with TSL specifically and how they contact and/or treat their players. How can this be coincidence anymore when almost every former highly performing TSL player is now on another team.

SlayerS Clide
Fnatic Alive
Fnatic Rain
ST_FruitDealer
ST_Trickster
EG PuMa
EG JYP

SangHo is gone and is rumored to be waiting for an offer from a foreign team?

At this point is it not clearly Coach Lee's fault for not having his players properly contracted? I felt sorry for them the first 3 or 4 times they lost players to other teams, but at this point I don't think anyone can possibly be to blame but the TSL management themselves.

Yes the pattern is players go in and want nothing more than to get the fuck out.

Im gonna have to defer to Rekruls wisdom on this one. Something is up here.
