If he's actually not playing SC2, whilst been paid as a SC2 gamer I'm totally fine in suspending him.

agreed.
This is different to the case of Nony and Stephano where the public was involved to begin with.

Thought it was pretty well known all he's been doing is playing Diablo. Not surprised by this at all.

Yea I don't get this.

The EG / Stephano stuff was damage control and PR. It was already public and they had to do something.
This is just... I don't get it. Someone didn't do what they said they would do so you're not paying them for a month? Why is that public information?



My guess is they are doing a preemptive strike in case Sjow had the idea of creating a thread complaining about not getting paid...

The hate comes from the fact that they made a public announcement. There's no need for this. They could have silently suspended him and be done with it, nobody would have known. Instead they damage their own player's reputation.

It was a non-public incident (how many of you knew that he stopped playing?), it should be a non-public response.
Stephano was a public incident, and it got a public response. That's how it works.


Well actually i think it's a public incident if you relate that to how well Sjow is known. He may not be one of the "superstars" of the scene, but he's definitely a known progamer, and i think many people noticed that he was playing a lot of d3 and wasn't streaming starcraft at all.

And regarding to "how it works", if you look at every other sport, Eclipsia did it exactly "they way it works". I don't know if you read my whole reply but if a player gets suspended and the team doesn't make a public announcement, and the player wants to drag them down afterwards, it just doesn't matter if he's right or not, the team will be in a very terrible position.

This whole topic is enough of a proof to show why a team wants to make their opinion public first, just imagine what kind of shitstorm would commence if a player who got suspended rightfully wants to start drama and post some totally biased version of what happened a few days afterwards.

Sjow...who ?
Just kidding i know who this is and i agree with your decision to suspend him,not providing good results is one thing but his online visibility is bad these days,can't even see him in go4 or playhem,not to mention non-existent stream...

Yeah, I was looking forward to seeing him stream more after joining Eclypsia, he even streamed for a few days... and then he stopped. He is one of my favorite progamers, that's why I know.
During those few days that he streamed, he always seemed kinda distracted and distant, one could tell his heart was not in it. I don't think he will practice sc2 any time soon.

^ this. Hold yourself with some bloody dignity. We don't need to know if you're suspending a player unless it is so egregious that the community is already aware of why he is being suspended. You're hurting SjoW by publicly shaming him and hurting your team image even more by your lack of tact.

Unless you're doing it maliciously so he resigns..

Hard to blame him for being a no-sjow. On the one hand it sounds cool to make a living playing a game. But maybe not when that game is dying and neglected by its creator.

Not sure why the team is taking flak for this. Player fails to meet contractual obligations, player gets suspended. Granted Eclypsia has a spotty track record, but until SjoW responds, I see no reason to badmouth the team oO

I really don't understand why every conflict between management and players, the community sides with the players. Sure, they are good at Starcraft and entertain you with games, but management are the people who support them with income and fly them out to tournaments so that you get that entertainment. Not every player is a saint, just like not every management-type figure is a saint.

More and more incentive to the LoL scene... after watching Legend of the Swarm last night on GSL, even though it was a joke on the show, it was kind of ironic because many players are actually switching to LoL.
