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. | ||

Sure half of it was people shaming but amidst that there were discussions about what happened and hwo it should be resolved. Me and some other dude also tried to translate TIG interview for better context. Must be nice to be on that high horse. What's your opinion on the whole thing? | ||

Because on the TIG interview I translated Alive specifically mentioned that the conversation was on his computer and he wonders how Coach Lee got his hands on it Link for source bro Later Coach Lee called me over and showed me the printed out copy of the conversation. Seeing as how the conversation was done in Skype on my computer I wonder how he got it. | ||

If he has breached his contract by leaving, then thats life, but he didn't breach his contract by talking with Fnatic. Coach Lee was aware aLive was leaving, he told aLive they would do it all nice and civil and then blind sided him on his play day with a negative article. If you tell a player they can leave, then you are giving them permission to break their contract. If aLive can prove this occurred then all the better, as he would no longer have to pay a fee. yeah to me it feels like coach lee is just trying to make money here | ||

That's pretty messed up; agreed. I'm not incredibly happy about him going off on Fnatic and making his first announcement against everyone before having all the facts- that seemed rather unprofessional- but I suppose that's just because he's used to his players leaving by now and was assuming it was happening again. Not that that justifies his behavior, but I kind of understand his mindset, even if past problems were partially his fault. | ||

Does he own his own PC in the team house? Or is it as someone above mentioned, that the entire team house is likely funded by Coach Lee, and he therefore owns the equipment, giving him the right to look at whatever he wants. Guess what, maybe in europe it's illegal to search an employee's computer, but in the US, if there is reason for suspicion, an employer can search, and even dig through logs of your activity to see if there is reason for termination for breach of contract or employment obligations. That means if you're looking at kiddy porn on your PC, and an employer hears you might be doing that on work computers... they can search your PC, and if they find it, it IS evidence to be used to terminate you. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Hmm, such a confusing issue. On one hand, TSL's roster is continuously looking in poorer and poorer shape, generally due to players leaving the team (and being picked up by other teams, though all the fuss is made about foreigner acquisitions). TSL's coach seems to be quite unhappy when these kind of things happen, as "foreigners" tend to never seem to do things "properly". One thing that stood out to me, was Rekrul's comment about him getting very upset about who get's to sit in player areas ect. That kind of comment makes me think Coach Lee is a very principled man, with particular bias to his principles (not saying they are good or bad, just that they are his own, and not necessarily "Korean values" or "self evident values"). On the other hand, foreigner interests really seem to like to stick their hand in the cookie jar that is Korean grown talent, rather than improving their own talent like the Koreans do. It's certainly true these translators don't just magically run into these players by chance and become friends. Regardless, these topics are always silly to argue about conclusively, and the only reason to ever really put any fuss into them is if you really like or don't like the current trend and/or method of player transfers. Putting any amount of detective work into a particular acquisitions itself is just kind of dumb. The real story you ask? It should be obvious to you all by now. The alarming increase in translator-related-drama. Milkis says some silly stuff... reis takes part in making MC loose the better part of his handle... this fnatic guy makes a friend or something without permission.... --Anyways, tonight I am going to put all my discarded Troll teeth under the pillow for the Troll Fairy to come, and hopefully deliver me a front page article on TL in about 2 weeks saying that John The Translator has joined some Korean team and has poached one of our top foreign players. P.S. Bonus points to you Troll Fairy if this happens and the foreigner team throws a fit about not following western traditions of indirectly befriending players discretely. | ||

I work as a lawyer in corporate compliance and investigations and fyi, as long as he computers belong to TSL, coach lee is within his rights to do whatever he wants to the computer, including looking in to it. And guess what, if your company is big enough, you are probably being monitored too. You just don't know it. This is common practice for most companies. | ||

Secondly, there is no evidence (yet) of Coach Lee snooping around aLive's computer. All it said was Lee showed up with a printed copy of skype conversation. | ||

When a player breaches a freaking contract and people act like it's a-okay because he didn't like his situation, it just shows how far Starcraft 2 still has to come to even be seen as anything more than a hobby. Alive got a place to stay and eat while also getting paid money from the contract he signed. He signed a contract that would last until July. Shit, Coach Lee even let JYP, Clide and Killer go without any hesitation. No bad drama. Nothing. All three left and we didn't hear any negative talk at all except Coach Lee had a new vision on how he wanted his team to be. Alive treated this situation terribly. There was no breach of contract. aLive was in private discussions with fnatic and Lee found out before anything happened, through unknown means. According to aLive they talked it out and it had been settled with a reparation fee, and then Lee made this public. Personally, I think it was inappropriate to begin the discussion behind Lee's back, but whether the plan was to break the contract or not is unknown since they could've been preparing an offer for the future. Beyond that, Lee is just ... Trust the Cracken. | ||

True enough, the statement is such that Alive doesn't necessary own the computer. However that doesn't change anything as how does that it make it right? You are invading someone else's privacy and looking at message logs is just wrong. Sure you may be in your rights but it's not morally right. Also why the hell are you mentioning europe when the whole thing is based in Korea? | ||

Well if the conversation is logged in aLive's computer, and his computer only and aLive himself did not print a copy and Coach Lee come up with a copy of the conversation what would you conclude? Sure there is not hard evidence but there is no way Coach Lee could have got his hands on that without actively searching for it. Honestly that's kinda scary paranoia. | ||
