It is with a heavy heart that today we announce the release of Lee Jae “Bunny” Sun from our StarCraft II roster. Unfortunately, due to Bunny's lack of commitment to his contractual obligations, we as an organization have decided it is in our best interest to terminate our partnership together effective immediately. In the last 5 months under DuSt, Bunny showcased his talent in online tournaments and team leagues, as well as offline at GSL, SSL, VSL, and IEM Katowice in Poland. We are grateful for Bunny’s many contributions to the team, and wish him the best of luck in the future.

I cant believe you would blow an opportunity like this when half the players in Koera are teamless.

I'm gonna be personally honest with you i think the reasoning Bunny is released is because of contract negotiations.My reasoning for this is because Bunny has had a great start to 2017.
GSL S1 Code S1 Ro16
Qualified for GSL Super Tournament making Ro16.
Barely didn't make the group stage at IEM Katowice so instead he flew out where he finished in the Ro28 which was 1 round from group stage.
Qualified for SSL Challenge
GSL S1 Code S2 currently Ro32
Helped carried his team to the playoffs of both DuSt League S4 and WardiTV S7 American Division when these matches were legit at 5 am for him and the leagues ran from December to April.
Has been streamed quite often his ladder sessions.
So Overall I would say he definitely put in alot of work and showed he was dedicated to his team.

I can't fathom what contract obligations he wasn't fulfilling. Streamed regularly, played in clanwars regularly, etc. Pretty weird reasoning.

I have to agree. On the one hand you praise all his effort and all what he has done for the team... then on the other hand you say, he didnt fulfill contract obligations... and that he is fired because of that.
Why would you even make a post, when its quiet obvious, that you dont want to or are not allowed to give is the REAL reasons for releasing him.

Sad that it ended that quick. I was under the impression that the Dust pick ups both played and represented their team pretty good.
Then again, nobody of us knows what is written in the contracts, so everything is just speculation...
Best of luck to both!

To update people on the status of the team.

Would definitely like to hear Bunny's comments on this. This makes him look bad and might be pretty much completely unfounded.
|
The tone of announcement itself confuses me, mentioning "lack of commitment" and then praising him for all the "contribution to the team". I'm really wondering what were the other obligations but unfortunately, I don't think we will ever know the full story. Sad for Bunny, I hope he will find his place and do well.
|
Seems like a dick move from Dust to release him for "lack of commitment" despite everything Bunny has done (streaming regularly, participating in online tournaments, good results in the korean leagues).
Of course it's hard to judge without knowing the full story but their reasoning sounds like a lie.
|
Everybody here really fast to jump and blame DuSt :o.
GL to Bunny regardless of what happens, dude's too good to be teamless.
|
We don't know what was in his contract and it's very possible he wasn't fulfilling an obligation he had signed to do, I'm not sure why everyone's jumping on Dust so hard when we have so little information.
|
That elevated a bit faster than expected...
|
So what will be his replacement @Seigifried?
|
There would be very little reason for Dust to make up some arbitrary "excuse" and lie as to why a player is immediately released from the team. If they are short on money we would know soon anyway, if the reason was payment negotiation they would say so like many other teams have done in the past.
That so many poster jump on the organization baffles me, I hope Dust find a players that is willing to do what they require and I hope Bunny finds a good place for himself too.

If that was to be the case here you would be right that we'd be likely to know soon, but we have seen it many times happen that some teams that are in trouble try to cover up for as long as possible. Sometimes they don't even release players and just promise to pay them after they are already months late in doing that. Maybe they do that because they keep holding out hope that the financial situation will miraculously improve.
Obviously nothing like that could be in play here and it could actually be as simple as Bunny having not held his end of the bargain but I don't blame people for wondering since this doesn't seem like an amicable end to the contract. I'm pretty sure we've seen teams being the party to blame far more times than players even if that does happen too.

Well it seems some people think a contract is just made out of "participate in Z tournyes. play X games. Stream Y hours".
He might not have been reachable at times where he should have been. He might went on vacation without getting "holidays". He might missed other obligations he was supposed to fulfill, who knows ... and imo it is totally correct that Dust doesn't state the exact problems. That is up to Bunny to do.
