What I hate the most is that people tend to think that Korean Teams = Perfect.
Alive fucked up, not fnatic, take it like a man and get over with it.

I think it's lame Coach Lee got this all from chatlogs (however he aquired them) but that doesn't really change the fact that Fnatic, officially or not, was tossing out offers to players under contract without speaking to the teams about transfer/departure fee's. I'm really sick of foreign teams poaching Koreans, but at least do it right and up front. Sending your translator to be friends and hand out offers to people on a team causing them to incur fees is incredibly shady. I hope they don't back out and help alive pay the fees for breaking his contract with TSL.

agree. but who fuckin believes that translator was doing things on his own accord ? Fnatic must have given him some kind of order to convince and guide aLive out of the house. Then when shit came to light fnatic is like lol we couldnt care less 'bout our translation having some "casual conversation". Thats not any illegal but shady as hell
And about aLive, this kid needs to be educated by KeSPA about professionalism. Hey I dont like this team, I wanna leave. Well I would stay for a while, signing contract,getting money, getting prohouse training but fuck it Im not your teammate anyway. I leave asap when theres enough money on the line.gg

So after reading it...AND GETTING SPOILT T.T

aLive....was talking to his mate from fnatic who said they have a deal for you when you leave TSL...WHICH was already on the cards. coach lee technically "Hacks" his skype prints off the chat log....tells aLive i want transfer fee and QQ fnatic. aLive is sorry and says he will pay the fee he just wants out. Coach lee QQs some more, fnatic lie about shit. coach lee gets pissed, aLive gets upset. Shit hits fan. aLive says this......

Next up court action xD

All because coach lee hacked skype.....or he would have 0 evidence. Of course aLive knowinly knew he would get contract from Fnatic but what is stopping him? He WAS in the middle of leaving TSL anyway? He was trying to do things right before people found out he had basically an open invite to join Fnatic.

Coach lee has done bad, Fnatic have done even worst, and poor aLive just wants out of TSL and to play sc2 t.t


I don't get why it's poor Alive. Alive fucked up. It's not like he was a slave on TSL. Even if he didn't like staying there anymore, he signed a professional contract and was getting paid actual money (not Monopoly money) to represent TSL and their sponsors until July. Which is especially important since he was their only current player in Code S and would be the most seen out of all the TSL players at the moment.

I know Alive is young and all, but I don't think it's that hard to understand a contract. If Alive wanted to leave, he should have went to Lee directly and left like JYP, Killer and Clide who all got permission to leave without any fuss.

You know there's a reason there are clearly laid out penalties in most contracts. It's because sometimes circumstances come up that make it worth it to breach an already existing contract. Breaching a contract isn't immoral. Alive is ready and willing to pay the penalty, he's not looking to screw anyone over. If coach Lee thinks he is getting screwed, he should have made the penalty bigger. Maybe you should ask yourself what circumstances came up with TSL that Alive is willing to pay an 8700 dollar penalty just to get the hell out of TSL.

Because he is only physically there, he wants to find his soul. And his soul belongs to fnatic.

i love how everyone here is already attacking coach lee about 'illegally recording Alive's computer"

we don't know how he obtained the skype conversation logs. maybe alive talked to another 'friend' in TSL and that player felt the need to inform coach lee, who then looked at the PC to see if it was true. Maybe another player grabbed the file and gave it to coach Lee.

the fact that everyone automatically assumes coach Lee is 'creepy weirdo' 'hacking' alive's computer is already bullshit.

How do we even know it was Alive's computer? Korean progamer houses rotate PCs based ont raining schedule, it's 100% possible, someone else, even coach lee himself, stumbled across the skype log or noticed some fishy conversations going on when they rotated computers.

HEY GUYS. COACH LEE IN NEWS, HE MUST BE BAD GUY AMIRITE?

Even then, it seems that you've currently left the team without permission. If you do have to pay a penalty fee, how much would that sum be?

I believe it is around 10,000,000 won.

Did Fnatic say they would pay for that penalty fee?

I’m not exactly sure but I believe they said they would announce the penalty fee as the transfer fee.

I feel like somewhere along the line somebody shoulda cut this bit out of the interview. That seems like it'll do more harm than good being out in the open.'

Also, I'm going to try to reserve judgement this makes mereally wonder about Coach Lee.

That's a pathetic excuse, you can't be both a child and a progamer.
Professional teams (and TSL is in every sense a professional team) aren't babysitters.
Don't join a team and don't sign the contract if you aren't willing to live up to it.

Lol i didnt accuse him of hacking but in general "well how did he get that then" it comes under "hacking" kinda.

And re read your point back....

"even coach lee himself, stumbled acress the skype log or noticed some fishy conversations going on" hmm so you stumble across someones chat logs on skype xD find that hard to belive sir!

Anyway like someone from france said, in Europe its illegal to check on work members emails let alone skypes/msn's

It happens every time. It was Coach Lee's fault for not contracting Puma (guilty of the crime of naivety I suppose), then it was Coach Lee's fault for not paying Tester and FruitDealer (when he did) and now it's Coach Lee's fault for allegedly hacking computers.

Some people just really want him to be the bad guy for some reason

That's a huge penalty fee O_O Makes you wonder how decent Alive's salary is/was. The underlying issues here - the state of life in the TSL house - are what worry me. Unlike every other Korean team, Lee seems almost too focused on the business side of things. It really seems like he's putting money before quality of life for his players =(

I miss the old TSL which seemed so tight knit. Even after Cool & Tester left, Sangho/Alive/JYP/Clide worked to top the GSTL and represent the team that way. Now it seems that everything is falling apart, with Heart leaving and rumours of Polt going too =/

I really wish there wasn't so much drama.

I imagine this will probably end with Fnatic signing aLive and covering a reduced penalty fee. Obviously charity pick-ups are never a way to run a team, but aLive truly is a top calibre player, and they could probably sign him for less than they would've originally after all this controversy. They'll come out looking like the good guys, and get a strong player out of it for less.

Yes because coaches digging through a players private communication is totally cool and acceptable.

It doesn't actually matter if he got it by simply sitting down and reading an a skype chat log (likely) or if he has mad hacking skills (unlikely), there's such a thing as privacy.

I was there that night, we were all just out talking casually and I witnessed this conversation. It was definitely not some shady offering, it really was as fnatic says a casual conversation that was in no way or shape or form an 'official offer', just casual talking between the translator and aLive, so please don't say things like this as it's definitely not true. I'm looking forward to aLive's personal statement as I'm sure it will shed even more light on this situation, because the interviewer was definitely biased;;

Its easier to throw eggs on people you dont really care bout/know, coaches/managers/staff is underrated resource in sc2 still. We only care about poor innocent players and big figures.

I'm losing respect for Coach Lee. Also, if Alive's contract was up in July, how does Coach Lee have a case, let alone after infiltrating his computer? If this becomes a legal issue, I'm sure Alive would win.

July of this year, therefore he is still under contract.
Computers in the team house obviously belong to the team, think of it as a permanent PC bang.
Don't want other people to see your shit? then delete it after.

Edit: I'm assuming the computer he used was in the team house.
