Eclypsia is the shittiest team I've ever heard of. You are taking a non-public matter and bashing your own player publicly for publicity. Suspending him is your own business, publicising it is bad business.

Fuck your stupid team. You won't be around that much longer.

Imagine if a different team had posted something like this, everyone would praise them for their action and transparency. Our community really sucks sometimes.

This seems to be the right decision. If you breach the terms of your contract, you get punished.

i feel like this incident should have and could have been resolved internally. No one would have known anything about this and it is not like Sjow did something wrong publicly. Stupid team move...again.

People in this thread are bashing Eclypsia because it's a team with a bad rep. If it was any other team, the decision would be logical. Why pay a player if he's not doing his job?

Well, maybe there's something else brewing in the background that I don't know of. Wouldn't suprise me anymore, since this scene cooks up drama every week.


Nobody is saying that they are wrong for suspending him. However, we are all saying its extremely unprofessional to shame him in public like this, and berate him for his poor results seriously wtf.

I am surprised to say the least, Sjow has always made a great impression on me especially for always acting professional. I'll wait for Sjow's statement and see whats up.

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

then they should just drop him. he's no good right?


Yea but who knows what the terms of his contract are. Maybe they can't terminate him until the contract period is up and this is their best recourse. All I'm saying is every time another pro mentions him the words "Diablo 3" come out next.

No, every single team on earth would be criticized for publishing a statement like this. And provided there would be an actual and urgent need to address an issue like this publicly, a professional statement would be characterized by at least:
  1. Stressing that several attempts were made to discuss the issue with the player and that, preferably, both parties came to a mutual agreement.
  2. A brief, clear, and non-dramatic way of writing; not mentioning unnecessary internal details and leaving little room for speculations.
  3. Not degrading the player by, for example, pointing out his latest, subpar tournament results. Seriously, wtf?

In the present case, however, it is completely unclear whether or not there have been internal discussions and what Sjow's position in this entire situation is at all. An appropriate example for a public post would be the Team Liquid/Nony statement released recently.
Mutation complete.

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.

LOL - I see what you did there... but I have to agree on all your points.

We certainly do hear about disciplinary actions in other sports (football, baseball, basketball, cycling, etc.). This should be no different.

It's a little bit strange to make it public. But at the same time I think it's not that bad to punish a player who is probably on salary for not training.

Why? You hear about disciplinary actions in other sports all the damn time. Why does this one have to be different?

This is exactly what I was thinking, couldn't have written it better myself (the first part anyways). In the EG case, they were making it public because people had to know why he wasn't entering tournaments. I don't get what pushed eclypsia to even make a thread about this.

So now teams start to punish players and Eclypsia jumps on that PR wagon, like every PR is good PR?
This team has always been one of the most unprofessional teams out there, no wonder players lose their interest in playing for them.

Well not so much because of him not entering tournaments but more so people wouldn't go whining to sponsors. In this case EC just had positive sponsor news, so it was obviously time.

Why would you publish that?
To show that you dont tolerate if your players dont train: NO. Because the other players know so or so.
To show tell him a lesson: NO. You do so by not paying him,
To get a little bit attention and hope you can hop on the drama train: YES!

Im sorry. The train already left without you. Wait and try to get the next drama train.

IF EC WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS PUBLIC, THERE WOULD BE 1000 POST THREAD ASKING WHAT THE FUCK EC IS DOING AND NOT TELLING ABOUT IT ANYTHING.

What's so wrong to get this? If SjoW doesn't play, ofc he should not get salary. When this is public, it also helps other to know what's going on.
