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. | ||

 ? 3?After reading the interview, it looks like Coach Lee preempted Alive's chance to talk to him, and that the negotions are just in the begining stage. Fnatic may be at fault for how they tried to recruit Alive, but the fact that Coach Lee read aLive's skype calls supports the claims that Lee is a control freak (And a mean one at that). | ||

There's nothing shady in offering a contracted player a deal. It wasn't shady when EG did it and it's not shady if Fnatic did it. Breaking the contract is shady, however, but that remains to be proven in this case. | ||

I can see how him casually talking to any korean progamer would end up with that progamer playing for Fnatic. Did he? I though it was Elroy (through his old wc3 contacts) who was in charge of that? | ||

Before (T)PuMa hyung’s situation, there were no contracts. Coach Lee also said when (T)Clide and (P)JYP hyung left that if I was still unhappy, I could leave too. I was going to leave at that time but because of personal issues, I said I would stay in the team a bit longer, but just physically, not as an active teammate. I thought that Coach Lee had accepted it at the time but I guess that wasn’t the case. so why is coach lee making a drama out of this? | ||

You apparently missed the part where the coach somehow found out about the "private" conversation between Alive and whoever he talked to and even printed out the entire conversation? While I can understand employers wanting to monitor his employees, this is a bit extreme isn't it? | ||

There's a conflicting statement there. "Cross contract seems be an over reaction, as I haven't made a contract yet. I received an offer from the translator last Sunday and on Monday he asked if I wanted to talk to the Fnatic manager and talked in detail." vs. "A: Trying to get a deal while I was still under contract with TSL. I have not signed with Fnatic yet. Fnatic's translator told me last Sunday that they'd give me an offer. I talked to the Fnatic's management on Monday with more details." Lol, translations. Quoting my own here. Q: What do you think you did wrong? A: Trying to get a deal while I was still under contract with TSL. I have not signed with Fnatic yet. Fnatic's translator told me last Sunday that they'd give me an offer. I talked to the Fnatic's management on Monday with more details. But after that, Coach Lee called me and showed me a print out of conversation I had with Fnatic's management. I was speaking with Fnatic via Skype on my computer, so I was curious how he was able to get a hold of it. However, I let coach Lee know that I made a mistake and asked him to be considerate. | ||

They're free to talk to anybody they like, obviously without breaching their contract. If FXO wanted to recruit IdrA, the logical thing to do would be to approach IdrA first and see if he was interested before approaching the team/manager. I imagine that maybe what have happened when Coach Lee found out. And there's no chance of aLive ever breaching his contract - if he ever wants to leave TSL, fnatic or he will have to pay some sort of penalty (for him to continue playing competitively in Korea) to "buy him out of his contract" which is what every esport team does for any player - irrespective of whether its SC2 or CS or DoTA. 2) Fnatic hasn't signed or come to any official agreement with aLive so far irrespective of whether alive is "sure" that fnatic will pick him up. Fnatic's statement did say that they were trying to negotiate some stuff out with Coach Lee. So Coach Lee broke the fundamental rule of a non-disclosure agreement when talking or negotiating with any business organization. 3) If you snoop on your player's skype convos or facebook msg inboxes, you're always gonna be a criminal control freak. | ||

I guess as long as you respect the privacy of your players you're golden. But getting the information of a private (granted: this is an assumption) Skype account is very bad. This may (!) be an indication of the reasons why alive wanted to leave the team in the first place. | ||

Its impossible to get things done behind the scenes nowadays, people ignore you, say things like "so what, what are you going to do", "if you sue me I'll sue you so ner"... The beauty of the internet and multiple jurisdictions. The one thing that hits people where it hurts is bad PR. So its the only way to really get peoples attention. where's the "like" button? | ||

It's understandable, but it's still something that can be criticized and as far as I'm concerned the only thing Coach lee can be criticized for. | ||

On topic: Still need more information as to who's really at fault. Good to see that Fnatic has responded quickly, unlike EG in the Puma fiasco. Still hope this can only be sorted out fairly. | ||
