I don't like the way this information is presented. It is totally biased.

The other truth might be, that a company is not willing to throw away its money for an investment (player) that isn't worth it. There is no reason to view dignitas as a vilian here.

Not so sure about that. They have one of the strongest North American League of Legends team, whose mid player Scarra has 10 - 30k viewers alone just on his personal stream. Not to mention the money they get from their league team exposure. Rather than Dignitas starving, I believe they're waiting for HotS to see who looks the most promising, rather than picking up someone who might not adapt too well.

Yeah, to interpret this as Dignitas crumbing is dumb. They have always been one of the most stable esport teams, the fact that they are not giving salaries to players that dont preform is not a sign of anything. But ODEE did talk about Dignitas strategy going forward on the last GDshow and they might not focus to much on thier SC2 squad.

Shame on JR for going with Dig in the first place without that "salary" in the contract in the first place. In business everything needs to be in the contract. Hope he learned from this.

upon being told "No" once again by the Team Dignitas management he declined to sign and was replied to with "lol ok" from Team Dignitas Managing Director Michael "ODEE" O'Dell.

Ouch.. Seems like Michael didn't feel like patch zergs had any worth either. Oh well.

I wish you luck Paul. Hopefully you get a stream up in Hots.

Few players get liveable salaries, looks to me like JR thinks he is worth more than he is.

As much as TB likes to support the UK scene I think there are a bunch of UK players that are more worthy of support.

I think the problem here is salary tbh. Since SC2 isnt peaking atm it must be hard for a team to give a player salary who does not stream a lot (maybe I have missed out on him), Havn´t got a huge following, and most important (for me anway), he does not need a salary to sustain himself since he´s not that old.
It´s like, salary is quite a commitment for a team and sure, Jonny had some good results from past year but now it´s a new game. He has a lot to prove to even show that he will deserve a salary.

Hope he finds a new team thou. Whytés got talen and he seams real nice!
You will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

This guy was really really BM, he also had no real results other than that one UK tournament, at the height of the queen buff. I'm not surprised to see dignitas let him go.

I don't think all relatively known players deserve salaries. It's hard to market lesser known mid-level players (does he even count as such?), honestly I don't think Dignitas made an unfair call in deciding to not pay him a salary. I'm pretty sure he's still at school and not playing full time.

Also committing oneself to a player when drastic changes in the competitive scene will be happening due to HotS, it was the better decision i think.

Can't help but feel that the Dignitas management is always so arrogant though :X

Lmfao at the comments in this thread. I guess he deserves it given how much he whined given the race and abusive playstyle he was using. In fairness, I haven't heard anything from him since that TSL4 run, although maybe I missed something.

Wow, gotta love the smell of bullshit in the morning.
Not an official response but I think we can all guess what this tweet is referring to.
