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.

Oh wow, seems really really dirty by fnatic. Luring in TSL by false promises of a partnership so they can get close to alive, then sniping alive and ditching the partnership.

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.

idk Mama Bear is probably one of the nicest coaches around. And I think he does pretty well for his past records. I mean when you hear Mama Bear you connect him with being a good coach.

Wow. :/ Sucks that this is happening to TSL again. And a real shame that the partnership between TSL and fnatic had to fall through for this to happen, that could've been perfect for Moon and other fnatic players to get some practice in practice house in Korea.

I am going to wait until more information comes out (one-sided arguments), as I can't really form an opinion on this bit of news. Until then, I'm going to get some popcorn.

This is actually worse than EG. At least with EG, Puma had no contract and Lee sent Puma away to America. It could be called shady by EG, but it still wasn't breaching any contracts. If it's true that Lee let Fnatic into his team house, let them stay and practice there, and one of the members of Fnatic (translator, member, whatever) pretty much got Alive to leave, breaching his contract, then that's pretty bullshit and Lee should be pissed.

It's like getting invited into someone's house and stealing their expensive television. Not cool.

But this is all depends on if Lee is telling the truth/Fnatic is innocent, etc.

Joining foreign teams is the way to go, but like this? It's just wrong... FNATIC and Alive do need to be fined for this act.

Probably not, and everyone's going to give Fnatic a lot of shit for "poaching" aLive despite there being no contract

TSL Head Coach Lee Woon Jae should know that whatever tactics that are available to you, you can and should use them to seal a win over your opponent for the win. I think Coach Lee is calling IMBA on players leaving his team. And what did we learn from Day9 ep 400? lol
