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.

Can't complain about not getting paid now Anna: So Sen how will you prepare for your revenge v MC? Sen: With a smile.

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

ReachTheSky Profile Joined April 2010 United States 3110 Posts #6 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. Zerg is hands down the easiest race to play.

Wants results... reads a bit further and see they are mad he didn't stream his training... Wants results... reads a bit further and see they are mad he didn't stream his training... If you think you're good, you suck. If you think you suck, you're getting better.

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. Well that's part of the contract you subscribe in order to live in the MoW.

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.

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 :/ Doesn't change the fact that anything posted about Eclypsia or regarding Eclypsia has NEVER been good or positive.
