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.

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?


Perhaps he decided to breach it, hence the drama?

How many deserting players does it take before the community realizes something fishy and stupid is going on behind the veil of korean manner within TSL, either with coach Lee directly or the team's contracts? It's obvious that mass numbers of players now have become completely disenfranchised with their situation at the TSL house, and none of them are telling the whole truth of what really transpired even after they leave. The TSL story has the stench of a straight up bully who still strikes enough fear (or "respect" if you STILL buy into official statements made about coach lee) in his ex-players that they would rather glossily manner over the details of their reasons for leaving than come out with the lucid criticisms that one would expect especially considering this pattern has repeated itself over and over.


Also to clarify for those of you asking how he is under contract if he "left the team". Officially he had only actually left the team HOUSE. Most likely because of reasons related to what i said above, which to a coach like Lee, is considered high treason and breach of contract with the team. GSL has listed him as teamless so quickly probably by retaliatory request from coach Lee himself.

Probably because he has come out flinging poo in each incident so far. Even if he's been vindicated so far, I don't think that gives him the right to run media smear campaigns... It sure hasn't made anyone respect him more because TSL continues to bleed players!

Well i guess the badguy today isn't neither coach lee nor fnatic. It's aLive.
Why?
aLive was under a contract, he can't leave the team without his contract either expiring, someone buying him out from it, or getting released by TSL management. So aLive left the team although he was on contract.

Secondly, I, personally, belive that Coach Lee wouldnt be saying anything like this if the player that has left didn't give this reasoning. So It might very well have been a misunderstanding from aLives side, and he told this too coach lee.

Thirdly, i feel very very sad for Coach Lee and the rest of TSL.

ALIVE IS UNDER CONTRACT.

that is the crux of the problem. If he is under contract how can he simply leave? One would presume there are clauses that forbid him from leaving for a certain period of time (as long as his contract lasts).

Obviously we don't know every detail but there is clearly some sort of problem between TSL and alive.

Regardless of that though (because there isn't much we can say without further information) i am getting very tired of Coach Lee and his behaviour. Every time something happens to his team he has chosen to use the most unprofessional way possible to deal with it.

Nah, I think he trolled Coach Lee and misunderstanded Fnatic (or became overconfident that they would recruit him).

The Korean articles says that Coach Lee is looking to sue Alive for contract violation, which I believe to be right move.

Yes, that is indeed the right move, The article should state this too, since many people are misunderstanding it as "suing fnatic".

If a player is under contract he can only leave because of following:
1) contract expires
2) someone buys him out of the contract
3) management decides to release him.

None of these 3 happened, but he still left the team. thereby he breached his contact.
