I'm sure, that Empire won't pick up Slivko. They had problems with Violet because he had become greedy. Same story with Slivko.
RoX.Kis is really great team, all the guys that enter it really show improvements over time. Slivko did improve, by a lot, but he must understand that team also participated in his growth,so I really think that there should be a compromiss. But anyway... EG.SlivkO, oh no wait, he still didn't won the DH.
This is very unprofessionally handled, CEO and other members of the team made a very bad image about the player eventhough he has been with them for a long time. That should stay between the team and the player, not to post it to community in this way. I believe there should be an apology after theese statements.
That sucks...damn. He's like the best RUS Z. I will make a translation if still needed when I get out of bed.
RoX.KIS.Bruce - General Director Sad to say, but we are forced to say goodbye to Artem. There are many reasons for this, but main - the player wants to receive more [money], without working with the community. We were ready to make better terms, only if he would regularly stream and promote partners [sponsors]; but for Artem (and a whole category of players) want to just play and receive a growing salary, and travel to all foreign tournaments. Sadly, for the team and it's partners there is no financial gain in this.
Some might think that we would make exceptions for Artem and we really looked at these possibilities. Unfortunately, we have a clear system of rating labor and without streaming, making better terms would not be fair to the rest of the players. Titan, for example, has better and more results. He is more known and respected by organizers [events/sponsors I'm guessing] and the community. Fraer won more online tournaments and took third place at DreamHack Summer 2012. So allocating Slivko from others we could only do with proper work, to which Artem refused.
We hope that there comes a time when gamers will understand that you can receive something if you put in the required work, and not for what they feel, like having more experience (for which the team pays) and for that reason they start to cost more. We wish him luck.
RoX.KIS.PoDoX - Team Captain There have been ultimatums coming from Artem about reviewing conditions about his stay at RoX.KIS. During negotiations we did not find a compromise, and as of this day Slivko no longer protects the colors of our team.
RoX.KIS.Craft - Team Manager It has been little less than a year since Artem has joined the team. During this time had visited tournaments in Ukraine, South Korea, Brazil, Sweden, Germany, and visited few team bootcamps. From the team and the website, Artem received full and comprehensive support, but left dissatisfied by the conditions and put forward new demands. After talking with managers, we concluded that they are unacceptable. As a result, we have made the hard decision of terminating of collaboration with him. We wish him luck in his future career.

i think it is ok, they gave the reason very clearly, why his request for more money was declined.
Good luck to Slivko though, i really like him as a player and he seems like a cool person too. That'd be great if he could join a team with good international connections =)

It IS very unprofessional, usually this kind of details remains private between the player and the team management. Nobody needs to know that Slivko wanted a raise and didn't get it. They could simply have said something like "The collaboration has come to an end, thank you for representing our team in the last year, we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors".

Personally I don't agree about it being unprofessional. I think it is perfectly fine the way it was presented and for me it doesn't create a bad image of either the player or the team at all. Both sides had good reasons for their decisions that people can understand and there should be no shame about stating them like this. This also prevents any unnecessary speculation from coming up like it often does in other cases.

This is not unprofessionally, this is just the way some people talk. Instead of standart "bla bla bla, thanks for everything" Bruce told everyone the thruth and this is great. People should talk the thruth instead of covering each others bad sides.
