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.

Definitely nice, but equally naive.

Waiting for all the facts to surface so we can see exactly what's going on. Hopefully it's completely legal like Puma was and just comes down to pride...

How can alive leave the team without notice- I remember coach lee saying he contracted ALL his players after puma left, so if he does sue alive- Alive is gonna get in serious legal trouble.

It's either TSL's the most unlucky team in the world, or TSL's one of the most mismanaged teams right now. Either way, I can't really see how TSL can continue to be competitive by constantly losing key players left and right.

"Fnatic is denying responsibility by saying it's something the translator did on his [or her] own, but that's nonsense." How is it nonsense though, it's possible they were just talking casually then the opportunity arose for alive to get more money.

I guess it all comes down to what the contract says I suppose

Can you really blame Coach Lee? He lets Fnatic into his team house, they begin to work on a partnership, and then Fnatic takes aLive?


if all these players (rain, puma, clide, sangho, alive, etc) are so eager to jump ship from TSL clearly coach lee is doing something wrong

Rain had talked to Lee first before leaving and received his consent.

SangHo and Clide were vehemently on Lee's side when Puma left. They only left recently because they didn't see themselves fitting into Lee's restructuring plans.

Hey guys......I told you so.

I thought you said aLive's contract had been sold to Fnatic? If it's been sold, can Lee really sue aLive?

I had heard that Coach Lee kicked aLive out of the team house and that aLive was on Fnatic now.
A separate source told me the contract was sold, that appears not to be the case.

Ah, okay. I see, I see.

Well, only thing left to do is wait for official statements and the endless legal debates about those statements by TL lawyers ...

I don't mind Koreans on foreign teams but it is getting a little out of hand now.

Also I TSL stricter structure was definitely doing Alive some good, wonder where he will end up staying now and how it will affect his future GSL performance. Definitely will not be good for his mindset going into tonight's games.

Also after the whole Puma thing why did Fnatic not do all that they could to prevent any drama coming out of this? I know we are left with only a tiny bit of info at this time but it seems extreme irresponsible for them to allow a transaction like this to happen in this way. Teams cannot keep operating like this.

You clearly haven't seen anything I've posted about this.
Rain left to live with his father in New York
PuMa was poached by EG
Clide respectfully approached Coach Lee about the move to SlayerS because of his friends in the SlayerS house.
SangHo and JYP left/were removed after failing to adjust to the new training regimen at the TSL house.
aLive was apparently poached (I had heard otherwise, this is news to me) and left the team house with his best friend who's name I won't reveal.

Almost becoming partners then stealing a player and backing out last second? thats just fucking dirty.....

Sigh. Everyone is taking advantage of TSL. TSL finds amazing players and everyone snatches em away lol. TSL should just merge with a foreigner team to avoid this. Dunno why Fnatic didnt just buy out TSL and acquire their whole lineup....
