Let's assume the statements made by Eclipsia are true and not to biased, then we got the following situation: 1. Sjow is paid a salary by Eclipsia, and part of his contract is to stream and be an active sc2 player. 2. Sjow doesn't play (much) Starcraft 2 at the moment, and he does not stream, and hasn't streamed for the past few months.(which seems to be true, if you look at the viewer statistics here on TL, e.g the top 50 streamer list) Conclusion => Eclipsia suspends him because he's not following his contract. I don't know where all the hate comes from again, but if you hire an employee and he doesn't show up for three consecutive months i wonder what you're going to do. Regarding the fact that they made a public statement, i think that's the common way to do it in most sports. Because if you don't do it, and the player starts to go on a rant about it a few days later, you'll have a very hard time getting the facts right. Because if you look at this threat and keep in mind that this isn't even drama worthy or shady at all, and the community still starts to bash a team blindy, you shouldn't really wonder why they want to state their opinion first. And it doesn't even play the tiniest role what Eclipsia did in the past or did not do, a hired player needs to actually play the game, if he doesn't he gets fired, just because Eclipsia did poorly in the past doesn't make this decision wrong. | ||

"why are u bashing ur own player?!??!" they're not. its just a press release. edit: ps this isn't "drama". it's just something that happened. i wish people would stop calling everything drama. | ||

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. | ||

This guy knows what he is talking about. Other people need to get a clue(we are after all leaving them here in there, its not just random hate). | ||

Lol who needs to get paid by their pro team when you can just earn money with the auction house. i cant believe people are giving EC shit for this lol. sure theyve fucked up in the past but they are 100% in the right here, now, making a public statement about it is probably a bit silly ;p sure if the news was front page stuff they would need to respond. but i dont know if people should see every bit of dirty laundry. | ||

Oh the irony what is it with all the hate about eclypsia? there wasnt a whole lot happening with the team, it was just the one thing where 3 players left at the same time which was months ago??? SjoW is hopping off and on teams all the time, plays 95% d3 as it seems and you guys defend him. To me it seems like SjoW has a contract with EC that he doesnt give a shit about while still gaining money from them. am i wrong? | ||
