I would prefer to call it anything but that, but this really sickens me. You kicked your player - for obvious reason - and now you make it sound like a mutual agreement.
I hold no grudge against Alliance nor Naniwa, but those few lines full of lies are really sickening
The situation probably wouldn't have been different if you disregard the events from IEM. There is no reason for Alliance to keep a player on their team that is no longer even playing the game. Perhaps they would have let him stay on the team as an inactive member if it wasn't for IEM but I really doubt it, theres no reason to keep him on the team if he is not even playing and not contributing to the team at all.

For the sake of e-sports and their sponsors, they should have taken a clear stance that his behavior is not acceptable.
FACTS: He gets paid to play. He throws games. He stopped working for a month, because he didn't feel like it.
In any other professional environment he would be terminated, not "we could no longer keep him". Is it ok? for the other alliance players(or any professional players?) to behave as he does?

well who cares about you?
Happy to see a positive statement, but I guesse thats normal. Never saw somebody released and the company calling him "a idiot" or so ^^

Kelly the Alliance manager and a statement, hueheuheuhe joke.

Personally I think the only difference between Naniwa and most people is that he says what most of think but don't say and honestly I think that probably makes him a better person that I. Maybe his attitude isn't the best and maybe he can be rude at times but at least with Naniwa we all know exactly where he stands.

I don't know, Tevez managed to turn "getting paid to do nothing" into a fine art.

All the best to Naniwa though, GL in LoL. He also tried for Blizz cup before that. To me, back to back ro8 against the best players in the world will always be > winning foreign events against ok Koreans and foreign players. Also, nani wanting to win and be the best vs stephano being in it for the money also makes me favor nani. Especially when there are hundreds of Koreans sacrificing everything and even sometimes being dishonored by their families for a chance to compete and then spending 1+ years in the practice house before they even get to play a single televised game. To me Stephano will always be the cocky guy who spit on all proper progamers with his awful and unprofessional attitude, but I guess people prefer "personalities" over actual competitors anyway. While I see your point here, IPL3 included not only OK koreans (which I assume covers i.e. 2011 PuMa, good enough player to win NASL2 around that time),slayers`Ryung or ogsTheStC but also 2011 MMA(!), MC (who was still good enough around that time to i.e. get to semifinal of Blizzard Cup). So the opposition was rather above "OK koreans". Out of all the players you namend, Stephano only played vs STC at that tournament. Though he did beat Violet, but afaik that was before violet became the top player he was in 2012. Other than that, he won vs Inori, Kiwikaki and Lucky. Irrelevant. They participated - the point is that IPL3 line-up wasn't a pushover and Stephano won. If you start counting established opponents then you can't start to argue that i.e. jjakji's GSL isn't "true" GSL because en route to championship the only top-notch opponent he defeate was Leenock in the final etc.

I never said that stephano's IPL win wasn't a "true" IPL win. My only point was that I value results in Korea, even if they are "only" ro8 in gsl, higher than any results in foreign tournaments. Obviously Jjakji's GSL doesn't value as highly as say Life's royal road. The same way as Naniwa dominating the first MLG of 2011 isn't even close to being as impressive as say Leenock's National Championship win. And it was argued that that IPL should be held in high regards due to the lineup, however I don't see how that should matter when Stephano didn't even play any top players at that event.

Nice statement. It doesn't matter to me if anything else went on behind the scenes right now. I'm just waiting for NaNiwas return to see what happens.
I wouldn't argue that Stephanos got lesser results than NaNiwa in foreign events, but the GSL weighs heavy and makes the comparison a lot more close than it should have otherwise in terms of success. I don't buy the argument that Stephano only tried once in GSL since that in my opinion sounds more like he wanted money in foreign events than sacrificing a lot of time like NaNiwa in Korea.
I do think Stephano was a bit stronger overall.

Handled like true gents, nice job Alliance!

For some reason reading stuff like this completely erases anything positive I've been reading from the same person in the same thread. Whatever, it's just useless PR stuff anyway, what matters are facts and facts only.
