"A couple of days ago I read a rumour about Gux going back to fnatic. I laughed and thought "impossible", having in mind the success of SK in the last months.

Gux was warmly welcomed by us as brothers when we were the underdogs and fnatic clearly was the worlds best team. People speculated in why he left fnatic; he wanted to study, he wanted to become a fireman and so on, but it's simple: he didn't feel comfortable in the team. He didn't hang out with the fnatic guys during tournaments and it was obvious that he felt that way when he chose to leave fnatic for SK.

There's alot of rumours circulating on the internet about this entire situation, but what has actually happened? The fact that fnatic made Gux leave SK the day the team leaves for Arbalet Dallas is completely unproffesional. To even offer him a place in the lineup the day before we leave for Dallas must mean they are scared of us. We were feeling everything was going well and they were feeling bad after their latest efforts; I dont think they could handle that. Lucky for us, we feel even more motivated now and we're counting the days until we can meet them in a game.

I wont go into names, but that a fnatic player consistently rushes Gux by calling him daily right after they place bad two tournaments in a row is also rotten. It wouldn't be a problem if Gux came after Arbalet and told me he wanted to leave, but to do this just one day before the tournament is just wrong.

Everybody in the team had contact with Gux until last evening when we were practicing for Dallas. We asked him if the rumours regarding his return to fnatic was true and he answered no. Gux has had a contract lying at home for five months but has refused to sign it. We told him to sign it and send it to the SK offices so he could get his salary and his prize money, but he didn't. He answered that he didn't trust SK.

We don't pay salaries if the players don't sign their contracts, that's the way it's handled everywhere. I could easily triple his pay if he wanted to, but loyalty and team spirit (his words, actually) is more important to me than being the best team in the world.

I also want to welcome moddii as a try-out in the team and I hope that he fits well into the team. I've been on the lookout for him for a long time and I think he'll do a much better job than Gux, who didn't really shine until the last two tournaments.

I'm disappointed, but motivated to the max. Anton Budak, Counter Strike Team Manger, SK-Gaming, I know there are fans that are as pumped up as me.

Go go go SK!"

TheSlaSH is full of shit , FUCK u !

Awseom go go gux

i cant understand why he leaves his team so nearly before a tournemant, so i can really understand budak's points. but i think to say that "moddii will do a better job than gux" is very disrespectful, even if gux has been it, too. so this sentence wasnt fair in my eyes.

shit, i have to deactivate my account here, that's embarrassing not to pay players for their job....... GuX atleast raised the level of SK.swe, without him, SK would not rank higher than 10th

sure ka sinasabi mo tol? even b4 gux joined fnatic sk rank 2nd in the top teams. get ur facts straight.

trep you dont understand too. what i meant is b4 gux was in the spotlight. sk had been in the top 3 since.

good luck Gux in fnatic(again:])

nice

GL moddii!

The most controversial move in e-Sports history is removing get_right from the team to replace him by an under performing SpawN. How does it feel when karma gets back at you. cy@

nakuma explained.

idol, paxensa lng sa ako migo. bogo mn gd to cya. haha pataka lng storya.

I don't know SK. I don't know Fnatic. And i don't have any insights in the phone records of the Counter-Strike 1.6 team players. So ill just base this one the "facts" that SK and Fnatic write down. If a player doesn't get paid his love for the organization will shrink. If no paper is signed SK is not forced to pay Gux, of course this doesn't improve the relation between player and organization. However, SK should not expect a player not to leave whenever he wants to when no paper is signed either. If SK was a bit more professional they would've given him a deadline to sign the contract. Now both parties will end up losing. Gux cause he won't get the money he deserves and SK cause they will 2009's world best (some may disagree with me) "newcomer". Of course Gux wasn't new and has been around for a long time but in 2009 he went from almost zero to complete hero. I have never seen anyone in nearly 11 years of Counter-Strike accelerate that much in a relatively short period of time.

The sad part of the situation is then that SK makes a bit of a drama situation out of all this when it's their own lack of professionalism. What Fnatic does to get a player, when or how doesn't matter. If SK would've simply gotten the player to sign the contract within a deadline this wouldn't have happened. Instead SK chose to profit from someone by not paying him thinking that's the best way to go.This just goes to show that SK is still a very very amateurish organization. Because any sane person could understand that contracting a player for a long time would be a bigger financial benefit than not paying out a player. It can be compared to a real company where they think poor products saves them money over quality, forgetting that reputation and a stable group of customers is more beneficial. The situation was handled poor by SK.

Budak's poor column doesn't impress me. He's calling it a wrong move to offer him a day in the lineup 1 day before Arbalet where he not even 2 lines later tells us he has been called by a fnatic player right after the tournaments. He also says that Moddi will probably do much better than Gux who didn't really shine the last 2 tournaments. Well trust me, he will shine and absolutely destroy the SK lineup. If it wasn't so much of a big deal you wouldn't write about it. Then again, it's just Budak, anyone who ever played a cs game with him knows how mature he is :).

If Gux didn't sign the contract he either has no love for SK or doesn't trust the contract. It's SK's fault for not sorting that issue out. Never the player. Love for the organization determines a great deal of a players performance.

We will see ;D

Very nice. i like it.
GL moddiii

omg!!

Gux made the right choice FNATIC FTW

according to german law, contracts can be confirmed orally or by similar written way. The final contract signet just make it easier for both party to have an evidence in case of a dispute.

This means from a legal point, Alex is right as far they can show that gux had the clear intention to sign the contract. Which should be possible with the chat logs. However a mail would be better.

modiiiiiiiiiiiiii !

yeah

All thumbs down for me !!! =)
