Good that Vega squadron has the balls to say whats up.

Unlike other posts when players leave teams with random statements that mean nothing.
At least this makes it clear elfi didn't live up to expectations.


While I agree to some degree, it's just bad PR for them as an esports team, because contracting a player for 4 months and releasing him after getting no results doesn't exactly make them attractive as employer as it puts players under severe pressure to perform really well in a very short period of time.
It's understandable they can't keep him, if they can't afford paying him without getting their value out of him, but it's rather poor decision-making in the long term.

this post 1000 times. "vega squadron" sounds like a cheesecake factory where you must do daily performance and show results or you get fired.

To this manager guy -you think progaming works like that, you have so much to learn about management it's not even funny. and do NOT get me started on your people skills as a "manager"! not to mention your gigantic knowledge on factors like motivation strategies, mindsets of pro-competitors, how and why slumps happen and how to recover from them etc.

It seems like a bad descision to sign a player like this and require good results in 4 months. If you're gonna gamble like that, you may as well do it with one of the rookies in challenger for less money, right?

the wording and vibe of the twitter and facebook statements leave a really bad taste in the mouth.

Wow Vega, do tell me, what results do you have?

Oh yeah. None at all.

Scarlett agrees!

The way it's put is incredibly unprofessional and offputting, makes you want to support the team less. Not a big fan of Elfi but come on. :p dont invest in a 'popular' player if you cant keep him when he doesnt win a major event
Thats just called bad business

Which is why I'm not really a supporter of Natus Vincere either.

Remember the time they signed four up-and-coming Eastern European players then threw their toys out of the pram and disbanded the team less than three months later because none of them had won a major tournament?

Remember the time they acquired FXO-EU then abandoned the roster once FXO withdrew their support for esports, screwing Happyzerg a second time?
