Some DotA players/teams could learn from actions such as this, but on the other side, the pay need to follow suit.

"We're suspending our player for being bad, by the way look at how bad he did in this tournament!"

..That's not how you're supposed to treat your team..

I think a more professional way to act would be sth. like this:

>Inform the player in private, that you are not satisfied with his performance / activity lately
>Tell him you cannot pay him in the current situation until he fullfills the (contracted) level of activeness again
>Tell him, that you like to keep him on the roster if he does change.
>Offer the player to be released from the team, if he wants to or if he stays inactive.
>Wait for a response from the player, come to a bilateral agreement
>THEN make a press release with the outcome and the consequences.

... and yeah, emphasizing bad results from your own player in recent tournaments is not that optimal.

This. What's the point of publicly bashing Sjow ? This is an internal issue imo...


A stated before they have to make something like this public otherwise the player can just turn on them and complain that he doesn't get paid. If a player is suspended from pay that's pretty normal to be public in other sports as well.

I don't know why people have a problem with this announcement. I like team transparency and it's refreshing to see. If you want to cry poor player, well that player shouldn't have done those things in the first place to warrant punishment. I don't have sympathy for people who came into a situation by their own doing and actions.

Eclypsia does have a poor reputation, but people are too quick to take the players side in everything. Players aren't always angels and teams aren't always the devil.

Step back and look at the big picture. There's way too many players currently signed onto teams for below-subsistence level wages, without any hope of producing results, without anywhere to go except maybe flipping burgers or their mom's basement. Ever since the SC2 speculation bubble burst there's no money in the pool anymore to support them anymore. Add to that the shadiness of team leadership and the youth of the players how can you not have drama.

maybe all of this happened and we just dont know?

I wouldnt want to pay a player with a big name that doesnt play the game and doesnt show any results therefore for lots of months either.

Um no. You come out with the details if that scenario were to occur. You don't shit on your player in public like this. Only in Eclypsia folks. ZzzZzzz

From the statements made this seems to be exactly what happened.

My god I will never understand this team. What on earth is the point of putting this in public. And to think they just got a Razer sponsorship.

Yeah sorry guys but why exactly are you doing this in public? I was sympathetic towards you after the advertisement drama with the stream instead of a banner, I thought that was just an interesting marketing move, but keep this kind of thing within the team. It just looks bad, why even talk about it?

If you are correct, then the press release from EC is just badly worded. It reads a lot like they skipped steps 1 to 5 and went directly to step 6. Especially it seems like they skipped step 5! (Maybe we get a reaction from Sjow to this... where is Slasher if you need him?!)

Also if Steps 1 to 5 were made in private, a more discrete press release would have been way more adequate.

In any case, it does not really make sense.

I think that's a sign of maturity really.

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?

So fans know whats up?
sorry for double post.


Then they can post it at their website?!

That's why dignitas has SjoW in their roster now?
