Jeffrey “Sjow” Brusi has been suspended without pay for a 30 days period. This decision was made by Eclypsia following the player’s breach of trust.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience it may cause but we feel strongly about punishing a player who has not honored any of the commitments he had signed up for.
As you may have noticed (or unnoticed actually), Sjow has been absent from the European scene since he has joined Eclypsia. He has only played few tournaments and we can’t but regret his lack of results and motivation. Some may for example remember his elimination from the Battle at Ministry of Win in August right from the first group stage on a 0-2/1-4 score.

Sjow asked Eclypsia to have him join the Ministry of Win in September 2012. He had then committed to increase his gaming level and be more visible online. He was indeed supposed to stream his trainings.

We are today very sorry to admit none of these commitments were or are being honored. We really wish for this period to be enough to receive from our player a satisfying answer. We still hope to see Sjow at the top very soon.


Ruurk's statement:

Sjow at the moment is not playing SC2. This means we cannot pay him for being a SC2 player.
If SjoW wants to come back and play we will be glad to continue. If he doesn't however he will not be a paid member of Eclypsia. We believe we can resolve the issue so at the moment we have just ordered a suspension rather than removal.
If SjoW wants to leave the team he is free to go. If he wants to return he is more than welcome but as it stands we cannot pay somebody who is not playing the game they are paid for.

Ironic, since Eclypsia seems to have had problems honouring agreements to its other ex-players in the past. Also the meme contest was pretty brutal.

Hope Sjow is able to leave and find a better team.

Bet they wouldn't have thought of suspending him if the EG incident didn't come up.
Refer to my post.

Whatever. I don't even see the need to make this public. Why don't you keep internal problems on the inside and not use this as an excuse to try and gain EC some publicity. Your public relations needs some training as we've seen in the past, and now present. Someone get a hold of Incontrol.

Well that's part of the contract you subscribe in order to live in the MoW. We'll have to wait for Sjow's statement though.

Hmm... Did you really need to air everything out like that?

You basically said:
"This guy has been so bad and lazy since we signed him, so we're not paying him for a month".

Considering your PR history and the tone of of this announcement, all it seems to me is that you guys noticed how much attention the Stephano post is getting, and your PR guy of course decided that it would be a good idea to try something similar. It gives you an excuse not to pay your players too, so what a brilliant plan.

Keep it up Eclypsia, you never fail to live up to your reputations.

Tbh, the team is really improving, and Sjow did not do anything relevant in the past months.

Oh calm down. You're gonna complain about Sjow not participating when you've had Indy and Krr on your team not even letting the scene know they exist?

Doesn't change the fact that anything posted about Eclypsia or regarding Eclypsia has NEVER been good or positive. Aside from their opening post about the launch of the team :/

Why are you bashing your own player in a public forum ? This does not seem worthy of a post at all.
