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.

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.

This post sums up my feelings on this situation perfectly! I couldn't have worded it better! Thank you!

Is there an actual contract that TSL has with Alive?


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


Pretty sure Alive has a contract. After the Puma incident, there was a report that said Lee gave his core players a contract/salary. That would have to include Alive, Polt, Hyun, etc.

Why would you leave TSL to join a sub par, half dead foreign team?

Please remember that when this happened before, coach Lee was not given the benefit of the doubt, and he turned out to be correct, but not before he had to voluntarily dismiss himself from the korean governing body of starcraft 2 (sc2con) due to the accusations.

It seems that he may be right again here, after taking legal action! It may be that although Coach Lee is usually correct, he might not be a reasonable person, hence the conflict. Usually conflict is stemming from a reasonable situation and one or more unreasonable party. Usually conflict is not reasonable people responding to an unreasonable situation...

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

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.


with the exception of rain, all of those indicate some kind of discontent with TSL. a player who's happy with the team he's in doesn't just switch unless they're offered a shit ton of money (and if that's consistently the case with TSL then they're mismanaging their finances and/or sponsorships).

You're already placing 100% of the blame on Fnatic? Wasn't it already established that the Puma acquisition didn't *hurt* e-sports, in that players should have contracts? If anything, the TSL coach recognized (or should have recognized- we'll hopefully see soon) that he has to know what his players are doing.

Don't jump the gun on a verdict.

Revival - Code B/A tweener
Heart - Really impressive Terran prospect
Symbol - Interesting prospect
Ultimate - Again, interesting prospect
Cyrano - Another prospect

They really only have one established guy in Polt. Hyun also may be really good, but we haven't seen a lot of him.

From what I hear, Coach Lee is one strict ringleader. Most of the sc2 Korean community think he's half mad.

Either ways, TSL will get screwed if aLive leaves. IMO, the coach might be doing something wrong if all his players are the only ones leaving. The same stuff isnt happening with slayers/mvp/im etc. Also, I doubt fnatic would do something so dirty. This might be Coach lee's panic mode where he's preventing his top player from leaving the team. He's lost enough players anyways...

I was just about to go to sleep and then this drama hits the fan *sigh*. I really hope that this doesn't come down to legal battles because that isn't good for anybody, but I am really sad that Alive got taken from TSL in way that causes this much of a disconnect. TSL was alredy struggling to build a deep team and now this. Hopefully this at least brings them together rather than causes it to self destruct. TSL is my favorite team and I would be really sad to see them fall apart.

Does that means his best friend that he left with wasn't on TSL at the time?

This just makes me think ToD for some reason, lol.

You truly show your ignorance if you call Fnatic, one of the biggest and wealthiest eSports teams in the world, a "sub par, half dead" team. Their SC2 roster may have been lacking, but Fnatic is eSports legacy.

Well, PuMa and aLive were both offered "a shit ton of money"
SangHo and JYP didn't like the new, stricter practice schedule Coach Lee was forming the team around
Clide, I'm not sure if he was discontent in the house or not, but he apparently took the restructuring as a time to ask his leave.
