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.

wOah.. Backing coach lee on this one.

I am almost 100% sure there is a contract.

But I don't blame fnatic. I blame Alive (Flame retardant jacket on) he should know better than to do this without a long long conversation with his current team.

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.

It's a symptom of a greater problem. If i have to shit on the teams taking advantage of legal technicalities or whatever convenient set of circumstances reveals itself to be the truth, so be it.

Fact is, this stuff continues to happen, and it makes the entire industry look like a complete fucking joke. And that makes it even more difficult to support it. How are sponsors viewing this? It's embarrassing to be a part of it, it must be very difficult to put money into it.

I just don't understand how this continues to happen. It's like we're living in the stone age, not 2012. It is hurting my head.

I want there to be more FXOs and TLs in this world. But i'm getting the other end of the stick shoved in my face over and over.

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

ya there so dead they have only recruited toD, Rain, Moon, and now alive ya there so dead


Rain...haven't seen him since that one MLG. Isnt he perma banned from GSL?
Moon..alright but gets wrecked by other Koreans

So not exactly a winning team. TSL stood a better chance of becoming a greater team then Fnatic.

Thanks for the insight like always, Boss.

If there was a contract, then Fnatic pretty much did the douchiest thing I could think a pro team could ever do. A team INVITES YOU to their training house, trying to form a partnership, let's you practice there, and then you poach one of their two aces (alongside Polt) and then bolt? Who cares if it was the translator who persuaded Alive. He's still employed by your team.

im kinda of wondering why there is no statement of alive even joining Fnatic. I mean fnatic announced moon in a professional manner (like always)- but no statement on the acquisition of a Code S player ? wtf I don't believe this.

A breach of contract is grounds for legal recourse. However, if you can't keep your players happy with competitive salaries/conditions, then you are the one at fault when they want greener pastures.

Ouccccchhhh, that's gotta hurt.

Do you know if the other player is getting picked up by Fnatic as well or did he just ... leave? Randomly.

I believe they were waiting to make the announcement after Moon's.

It's been in conflict for quite a while now though.

If Heart seriously left, then TSL is literally down to Polt/Hyun since Heart was their third best player left.

I feel bad for Polt/Hyun. Both of them are so damn good.

Well, since someone else already posted it yes, Heart left TSL with his best friend aLive.

He is currently teamless.
