Artist, SLoG, desRow, Scarlett leave Eclypsia - Page 13

I don't understand why people are so focused on Scarlett getting a new team after all 4 players went teamless. Personally, I don't like Scarlett as a starcraft player. Her winning all the female tournaments is not very fair from my standpoint. Wouldn't be too thrilled to see her on Team Liquid or EG.

Eclypsia statement :
"Having different opinion about korea (note: they don't explain anything more) , Eclypsia and his international roster including artist, slog, scarlett and desrow have commonly decided to part way.
It will allow these players to focus more on their goals, and eclypsia on its.
We would have loved to find a replacement team for our former players, a team to meet their expectations.
We wish good luck to these players that are, for us, really talented, it was a pleasure working with them.
We will stay really active on the e-sport scene, and we wish to prioritize our presence on european scene

it does'nt really explain anything >_<

So she should deny the invitations? Also, she showed very good results at IPL4 aswell.

One thing that always confuses me aswell, is that the critics of Scarlett seems to think she's transgendered as a choice to win female tournaments, and that's just absurd. Afaik there is genetic studies that has showed that transgendered peoples brains are more like those of the gender they are not born as, than the gender they are born as, and from there it comes that they start feeling like they are a man trapped in a womans body or the otherway around.

"Not very fair" from your standpoint? If you want to say something, just say it.

Average means I'm better than half of you.

Bad news, indeed. I hope players made good decision, and I am looking forward to players/team statement and I hope all of them find another team asap - they surely deserve good practice enviorement and sponsorship!

serves eclypsia right for having such a bad slogan "devotion to your emotion" LOL

My french is really bad, but I think EC confirmed they released the 4 players and are focusing on an european SC2 squad.
Maybe someone can translate their statement, but it looks like they parted ways by mutual agreement, so the players can be picked up by new teams and don't have to pay a fine or need to be bought out of their contracts with EC.
Hopefully everything works out fine for the players, but this is really bad publicity for EC. They seem to be a legitimate business that pays the salaries, but they really need to learn how to deal with the community.

Following differences of opinion on korea, Eclypsia and its roster includes internationnal Artist , Slog , desRow and Scarlett have decided by mutual agreement to stop collaboration.

This will allow players listed above focus on their goals and has Eclypsia on his own.

We would like to find a host team for our former players, who would correspondue their expectations.

We wish a very good luck to those players who are very talented for us and with whom we were delighted to be working.

We continue on our side to be very active on the e-sport and want to focus primarily our presence in Europe .

If there was no skill handicap (don't know if this is the right word, my native language is not english) for women, there would be no female only tournaments. Since I believe this is a genetic thing I am simply not convinced that merely feeling female is enough to make you female in every single way.

Goes to show that there are many people that have similar opinions on the matter but either don't care enough or are not willing to "offend" others.

thanks for the translation
I'm guessing they promised their players to practise at a team house environment in south korea, but they realized it wouldn't be a very good investment, since they don't have any really big names on their team to represent them in korea, and the other players probably wouldn't want to stay in korea for an extended period of time. But since they promised it, they offered the option to leave the team or surrender the chance to go to korea for now.

Allow me to preface this by saying I support Scarlett, and am interested to see where she takes her career.

Although it is obvious that Scarlett's choice to undergo a prolonged surgery to restructure the most fundamental aspect of human identity was not prompted by anything as petty as winning SC2 tournaments, there is a bit of a conundrum there regarding whether to treat her as a female or not. It is well-known that men on average do in fact have faster reaction times than women, and it's not entirely clear what effect the surgery has on this fact. Given that Scarlett has been leaving all the other female competitors in the dust, it isn't completely out of the question that her male birth gives her an innate advantage. If this is the case, it may not be appropriate to let her compete in the female-only tournaments, as she isn't really playing the same game as the rest of them. Then again, she could just be Tossgirl 2.0. We simply don't have any conclusive evidence either way. I'm not sure which side of the issue I come down on, but I think it's something that'll have to be discussed at some point or other. We'll have to wait and see.

As far as Scarlett herself is concerned, I think she should keep on collecting free wins against lower-skilled opponents. She's a progamer. She does this for a living. As long as she isn't cheating or in any other way degrading the scene, I don't care WHAT she does to make money, just like I don't care what any other progamer does to get their prize money.

That'll be the end of my little monologue. I find it very interesting, and it's what makes Scarlett such a fascinating player to me.

Eclypsia must be pretty shady. All of their new teams are leaving, from SC to Dota.

guys, cut it out with the transgender shit. this is not the time or place. i can't believe i'm the guy that has to say this, but let's try to think about whether our opinions, valuable though they may be, are relevant at all or not...

glglglgl to everyone.

(stop hating on eclypsia until we get all the info!!)

I'm guessing this has to do with the scandal/accusations against Eclypsia a few weeks earlier. Now all they have is Welmu and the French players, so I wonder how that'll turn out.

Anyways, best of luck to Artist, SLoG, desRow, and Scarlett on finding a new team. I'm sure they'll be picked up quickly!

because he would be spouting more shit. theres nothing fair or unfair about her being invited to a tournament. call it female only if you want but the facts are the organisers invite people they feel like inviting and then those people play, they all happen to be female is nothing to do with it and the fact its even brought up is just passively bringing up the whole gender debate again.

If Julia who is a diamond player can get a team (no disrespect to her), surely Scarlett can find a team.

She isn't a PLAYER on the team. She does behind the scene stuff.

Indeed, this is obviously only desrow that's acting retarded, and the fact that 3 other people are leaving too has nothing to do with the team at all...
