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.

I'm sorry but something must seriously be wrong with the TSL team, so many players leaving their team must indicate something.

Well I guess TSL still doesn't have their player under contract, if they would foreign teams could talk to them as much as they want, a contract is a contract.

If they would be as mad as they sound they could just get aLive back, I feel like they love the drama.

Well.... if he isn't actually on fnatic, I can't see coach Lee's claims can be taken seriously.

people who are bashing coach Lee should just be quiet before they are going to be proven wrong,........again
I would rather wait for the official statement from coach Lee and aLive before saying anything. As far as i know, all of TSL players are under contract so yes, poaching players behind their back is wrong (but whether this is true or not i don't know)
I hate all this singing

TSL losing players left and right, very few players remain from the days when I first began watching ScII. Wonder what's going on there...

from fnatic's reply, I am thinking this is what happened:

fnatic said they never made a formal offer to aLive. It's really common in the corporate world to use headhunters so the organization making the offer can save face.

Just like fnatic is seeming to do here. While fnatic said they never made a "formal offer," they never said "we didn't make him an offer." Oh, they made him an offer, all right, they just never sent over a contract to sign, because they hadn't had a chance to negotiate the buyout from Lee, who holds aLive's contract at the moment.

They can't sign a player when somebody already holds the contract. aLive made the mistake of approaching Lee before fnatic did. I think if they had, there wouldn't have been all this hoopla.

Just because Fnatic isn't signing him right now doesn't mean by the time this is all said and done, he won't be FnaticaLive. Until he picks a team, I'm going under the assumption he will eventually fall in with Fnatic. That being said, aLive's wiki and Fnatic's wiki on the TLPD already have this stated as fact. Wonder what over-eager editor decided to go ahead and add those changes in?

[EDIT] Found it. Shame shame.

If this is in fact true, fnatic will shoot from the bottom of the sc2 team to the very top of the foreigner team scene. what a sick sick sick sick lineup that would be. They need 1 more top zerg imo. Also from fnatic korean academy - son and departure both zerg players.

I hope this issue gets sorted out and aLive indeed joins fnatic!

I feel sad for Coach Lee. Seems like every few weeks he's in the news for something like this.

Coach Lee needs to understand that contacting the player first is how it's done. If he ran a good business for his players, he wouldn't lose them.


ALIVE IS UNDER CONTRACT.

Can this be put in gigantic bold letters at the beginning of the thread?


aLive left the team! How is he under contract?

Why are people hating on Coach Lee? Didn't this exact thing happen in the FruitDealer and Tester incident and eventually he was vindicated..
