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.

Well, who is aLive actually playing for then?

I mean, according to the fnatic statement he's not playing playing for them (yet) but according to TSL he's no longer playing for them?

He'll be playing without a team tonight for the GSL most likely.

I bet if his players would have girlfriends he would make an article about them wanting to steal the players


Have you a coach team before in your life ? A professional one that is ? I bet you don't and yet you are criticising as though you can do a better job for the team .


U don't need to coach a team to see how exagerated and premature his statements are....with no backend to it or even trying to shed light on the situation BEFORE starting to flame other teams. Tell me why so many players have a tendancy to leave TSL if this Coach has so much experience in this field witch i don't deny. I dunno any team that has had so many controversial player desertations in SC2...tell me 1 please.... if there isn't any then anyone could assume something is wrong with TSL in general...

U hear a rumor (that might be right or wrong) and start crying before even getting your facts down...yea..pro work bro


The fact is you are only picking on him on the basis that "Premature statements " it's like you have a personal vendetta against him . It's possible that Alive was approach back door and as a coach you are of course will do what ever you can to see to save your players and remedy the situation at hand .Even if it means accusing other teams of doing so , Why would Coach lee even mention about the translator and this back door dealing if it hadn't know about it . You think he would make up all of this dealing by him self and be called a paranoid ? . I don't see a reason why the coach assumptions should be criticised for .Alone and Tsl had a contract , contracts are enforceable by the court of the law , you breach the contract , the players are going to have suffer consequences for it .



I have no personal vendeta as long as he comes down with valid facts...i see no facts in what he said + noone can contract alive as long as his current contract is up..that is a fact. The only possibility would be they talked with him to offer a fnatic spot after his contract ends..and that is 100% legal...why so much QQ? It's the players decision what he makes with his life after the contract expires. If he joins fnatic after the contract ends..the TSL list of deserters grows...and that's not because they are doing so well there .

As u said "contracts are enforceable by the court of the law". U actually think Fnatic is dumb enough to try to contract a player who already is under a contract? or would they try to contract him after his current contract expires? U are to protective of Lee...and see fnatic as a dumb team that risks it's reputation&money to "prematurely sign a player"...witch i think is not the case


If that is the case why didn't fnatic wait for the contract to expire and than contact Coach lee through the proper channels ?


Who said they accuired aLive? did u even read the article?
Title quote:
Fnatic quote: "However, Fnatic announced in an official statement that Alive had not in fact joined their team"
"Coach Lee said "It seems he talked about transferring teams with Fnatic's translator. Fnatic is denying responsibility by saying it's something the translator did on his [or her] own, but that's nonsense. I'm angry that they didn't approach me officially, and went to the player directly." Coach Lee had been considering taking legal measures, such as suing Alive for breach of contract. "

So
1. They didn't contract anyone from TSL
2. This Lee guy or TSL management team difdn't even try to contact Fnatic about this situation...they just started to flaming before even getting their facts down....even if fnatic thinks that the translation problem is out of the question...as a korean team manager u should always question translation..if u don't....that's just bad mentality


You gave me possible scenario that could happen

The only possibility would be they talked with him to offer a fnatic spot after his contract ends..and that is 100% legal...why so much QQ?


I gave you my answer to it . Fnatic of course didn't contract anyone from tsl that isn't the point , second fnatic according to their statement are actually negotiating with TsL on the possibility of getting Alive in to fnatic as seen here in this quote .

In conclusion we highly respect both Mr Lee and aLives talents, and from Fnatic's side we will strive to work for an amicable deal with Coach Lee.


If this isn't coming out of the woods and saying okay we admit in a sort of a way we did approach Alive and now we want to work this out through proper channels .

Jesus, ok now this is getting stupid t.t people need to learn how transfering works in E-Sports just like in every other sport. These kind of actions whether or not sanctioned by Fnatic or not are highly illegal in other sports, and in some cases in football teams have been BANNED from transfering any players for 6-12months! Yet nothing happens in these kind of cases? Why not!!

I know Fnatic sound like they have not done anything wrong, but when your own translator is basically freely chatting to aLive about possibility of signing with Fnatic before they have spoke with coach lee is kind of silly. Its not like they were not talking with TSL Coach anyway? They were in housing discussions with him >.<

This is just so unprofessional on every level! And it is happening more and more!! aLive//Puma the 2 that jump out at me now, something needs to be put in place and teams need to learn how to DO BUISNESS when players are under contract. Like coach lee said, if aLive would of trasnfered they would of sue'd HIM personally which again is wrong as it's not his fault.

Aswell thank god there isn't any "agents" in E-Sports yet too, because we would have even more shit load of breaching of contract laws and more unwanted unprofessionalism

Because there is no overarching body controlling/regulating/governing entity (whatever word you wish to use) for SC2. It's a free-for-all, anyone can do whatever they want - play some games, makes some monies, create some dramas.

TSL's got a couple of solid sponsors. ZeNEX last I heard barely keep their teamhouse running/have had to vacate their teamhouse.

GSL just started and Alive is playing teamless at the moment. Hopefully this situation doesn't affect his performance too much.

The drama that ensues...?
There's "good" drama that stirs up hype, which is cool and "totally helps esports" (if thats your thing), then there's stuff like this.

All these transfers are kind of meaningless anyway until a proper (majority of teams involved not small invitationals) team league starts. I don't care what team players are on when watching individual competitions because I don't attribute any of the players' individual success to their team in the foreigner scene.

Drama they create on TL is sort of interesting I suppose though.

TSL participates in the GSTL, which is probably the biggest team league around (maybe not in prize money, but definitely in terms of exposure). aLive has historically been one of TSL's best team league performer.

I think he was talking more about Fnatic acquiring him, but I agree its a loss for TSL.
