The post-season was in December 25~27th.Īfter the finals, the X-Team representatives wanted to talk to me personally, and the topic of a contract came up. So we advanced to the post-season in Shanghai, and even ended up with the championship title. At that time, X-Team was in 7th place.Īt the end of the regular season, we were able to make 3rd place. The lowest two teams are demoted to the secondary league. I joined after the first half was over and the second half was about to start. There are 8 participating teams, 9 matches are played in the first half and 7 matches are in the second half. The Chinese team league is divided in two halves and the matches are played once a week. I joined the team on October 17th, 2015 and my first game for X-Team was on October 25th. At that time I was active in online tournaments, and since the team league was mostly online except for post-season games, I thought the mercenary position was suitable for my situation. However, they said they couldn't pay me a regular salary but only on a per-game basis. The team contacted me first, saying that were at risk of being demoted in the Chinese team league (T/N: ) they were participating in, and they asked me to join their team as a mercenary (or loan player) for the season. I first came to join X-Team after winning quite a few Leifeng Cup tournaments, which are online tournaments hosted in China. I'm posting this here in the Starcraft Gallery that I visit all the time, since I didn't think it was appropriate to post this on my personal social media account. ByuN originally posted this on the DCInside Starcraft Gallery. This is a translation of ByuN's response to Xiaose's recent post on weibo. ByuN says he is leaving the team on the spot.įrom Xiaose's perspective, he pushed hard (basically "begging") for invite spots for ByuN and contracting work with Douyu out of good will and got spat on. Xiaose did purposefully not invite ByuN because he wanted ByuN to "cool his head and consider his position since he is just one of many players in China" and told him that it was mainly to promote other players. ByuN asks Xiaose why he wasn't invited to NSL. ByuN then returns to Korea, after a month ByuN reaches out to Douyu, saying that he could sign the original contract but then demanded additional clauses including xteam paying him a stable salary, Xiaose gets wind of this and doesn't reply because he thought ByuN was being outrageous.Ħ. Basically putting Xiaose and 91 in a really awkward and socially problematic spot having to apologize to Douyu and negotiate with ByuN.ĥ. ByuN suddenly at Shanghai demands a contract amounting to double the pay. Douyu flies personnel from Wuhan into Shanghai specifically for the contract signing. Xiaose insists that all the conditions in the contract were hashed out between Douyu and ByuN, not with xteam.Ĥ. This delayed the contract signing by 2 months. The deal was for ByuN to return to Korea while Douyu and Xiaose hashed out the contract for him, they translated it first into English then into Korean at ByuN's request, but ByuN insisted to wait until WCS Shanghai to sign in person. The idea was first brought up to ByuN with people from Douyu with translator at the Starcraft League floor where ByuN played.ģ. The contract is from Douyu to ByuN, xteam stands to gain or lose nothing from the contract. 91 and Xiaose wanted to give ByuN a stable source of income which would then ALLOW him stay on xteam at the same time, because xteam is unable to give ByuN a stable salary due to their finances and ByuN would not have a stable source of income otherwise. Well the issue is blowing up on Chinese forums, I'm seeing at least 25 forum threads on NeoTV alone active with in the last hour, Looks like to me Xiaose's biggest issue was how the Douyu deal was handled.ġ.
