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.

If ec would not make this public no one would give a shit.
Wait... You are kind of right. So or so there is no diffrence.

Whatever. I don't even see the need to make this public. Why don't you keep internal problems on the inside and not use this as an excuse to try and gain EC some publicity. Your public relations needs some training as we've seen in the past, and now present. Someone get a hold of Incontrol.


Now the funny thing is, Incontrol knows what actually happened, and it doesn't match up to this.

The next hot thing will be announcements of suspension-announcements. Two in one.

Sigh...Every time I have seen Eclypsia in a post, it's either a bad thing about a player or some screw up of management. If they are honestly trying to be taken seriously, they need to get their act together. The actions of the people you have signed does affect your public image, but I am not sure why you feel the need to publicize every tiny little piece of news. Frankly, it paints you in a very unprofessional light, not to mention how you have acted in the past.

I can understand this decision by Eclypsia. It makes perfect sense.

They started February this year by hosting a series of small tournaments but it wasn't really until around March that they started to pick up players for their teams. Since then, they've had a rather... disappointing image by running a meme contest and pulling perhaps one of the worst April Fools jokes of all time.

Tons of players have joined and left their organization if that says anything about what they used to be.

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.


it's the same eg and liquid did recently and it's normal in normal sports.

I could understand it a fair bit if it were for him going to certain tournaments or expected at them. But then again, at least people aren´t questioning why. But should´ve been keep internal.

Don't forget the april's fool where they just pretended that their management was deceptive and the team had massive communication problems. Eclypsia sure has a brilliant PR consultant.
Mutation complete.

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

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.


So because they haven't worded their statement as professionally as other long running teams they deserve all this unconditional hate? I feel like I am being forced to play devil's advocate here because everyone is blowing this whole thing completely out of proportion.

Interested to see Sjows follow up.

Eclypsia is such a bad organization. There's no prestige in joining this team...if anything its an embarrassment.

I love people taking Sjow's side on this... WTFWTFWTF mind blown.

Right thing to do gj Eclypsia. Not sure about making a public announcement but i guess you dodge the shitstorm if SjoW would've decided to make a silly post about not getting paid.
