FalleN replies to SK-LG controversy

29-5-2016 12:35

Earlier today Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo gave an extensive statement to The Daily Dot as a reply to the emerged controversy between Luminosity and SK Gaming after the German organization attempted to poach the Brazilian team.

Yesterday morning ESPN's Jacob Wolf released a story about SK Gaming and Luminosity possibly locking horns in a legal battle over unfulfilled contracts.

The German organization had signed contracts with Luminosity's players, their coach and manager. However, the group decided to stick with the American organization, as they had signed letters of intent to extend their contract for another two years.

FalleN releases huge statement about going back-and-forth with SK for the last three months

Upon learning the players, coach and manager would go back on the contracts, SK Gaming threatened to pursue legal action due to unfulfilled terms.

Team captain and in-game leader, Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo, wrote up an extensive explanation of the entire situation, released on The Daily Dot website.

In the statement, he also revealed he himself had barely had any contact with SK apart from one e-mail, telling the organization to contact Luminosity's owner, Steve Maida, and most of their communication was done through the other players.

"SK knew we had a LOI to extend our contract signed and not only didn't respect it, as they said they would when they first approached me, but helped inserting into my teammates mind that they didn't have to fulfill our contract with LG." Toledo said in the statement.

"What we didn't realize was that the move made by Alex and SK was actually something called "Tortuous Interference", which is illegal not only in sports. Googling it, you will conclude it means they are interfering with a team that actually is under contract, for their own benefits, doesn't matter if it's later or not."

The entire statement, going over his and the team's point of view on all communications, can be found on The Daily Dot.

Nice, good statement from FalleN.

I don't know what u guys are thinking, but i'm ashamed of the brazilians didn't honor the first contract with LG org, then after signing with SK org, they didn't honor new contract as well. They have good reasons to not go to SK-Gaming after they won the Major, but they should have thought of that before signing contracts. Both SK-Gaming org and the brazilian guys should be punished some how.

The new contract was post dated meaning it comes into date after the luminosity ones runs out. Luminosity had not renewed their contract with the players with in the two week window stated on the Letter of Intent. This means that Luminosity did not hold up their side of the Letter of Intent. Because of this letter of intent Luminosity went back on their words meaning that they have expressed lack of interest in the players.

People in the right tend to stay quiet as they are coming from a place of strength and those in the wrong, tend to be more vocal. Fallens statement yet again makes it sound like he's a kid who has no clue. He's not he's an adult and should take responsibility for his choices and actions.

Not unfortunately. LG were with holding prize money that the players earned. This org doesn't deserve shit

2016-05-30 10:45

i dont think SK should be punished. In all sports you have orgs trying to get each others players when the contracts expire. Thats the game. Luminosity could just been fast and extended those contracts from the first place. I can't see what SK did wrong, i can see that the LG players did wrong when they didnt just say no, if they really wanted to stick with their org.

The contracts hadn't expired yet. That's what makes it questionable, and possibly even illegal. It really depends on where the lawsuits get filed.

2016-05-30 03:19

please have a look at thorins video, he explains SK's side aswell, which none of the other article does. SK just offered them a contract after their current ones with LG expire. LG players WANTED to sign with SK (bigger org, better offer), they even asked for legal advice and requested if they somehow could get out of their LG contracts faster. Fallen even invited SK to LA to discuss contracts etc. LG players took the initiatives. When LG org finds out, all of a sudden Fallen and the players felt "pressured" to sign with SK. LG play the victim card.... Why Fallens sudden change of mind? because LG has their prize money from MLG columbus 500.000$ and prolly even more prize money (and salaries?) LG are the bad guys in this, SK just gave them an offer

Yah LG seems to me more shady since they never signed the Real Contract just a Letter of intent but it still works like a real Contract And I guess that expires Juli 1st? And then the day before major players sign a Contract without Legal Advice or talks to there ORGs in a Million Dollar Sport

Man it seems you didn't understand. So let me clarify. LG signed a letter of intent which is different from actual contrats, in the loi it was said that they would sign a contract two weeks after signing the loi. But they didn't, and they avoid it. However the LG org kept it's end of the bargain and started paying new salaries even without LG members having signing said contracts. Then LG members called SK to LA and talked about signing a contract with them after the end of the actual contract they have with LG (they didn't sign the contract said in the loi) which ends in July 1st. Summary: *LG org hand the loi for LG players to sign. They sign it. In the loi it is stated that they have to sign a contract two weeks after. They don't sign. *SK approach LG players with an offer. LG player start to discuss the offer. *LG players ask SK to come to LA to explain the offer face to face. *LG players sign with SK. *After the major or wtf was going on with the guilt that players felt after stabbing buyakka in the back they decide to not go to SK.(22 days of time passed since they signed) *Both LG org and players start to put the blame on SK for no reason at all except maybe their own stupidity. *Reading all of the points above you can conclude LG players are not loyal, not smart and absolutely cowards. ***TLDR: LG players signed with LG org but did not respect the terms in the loi. Then they signed with SK and did not respect the terms in the contract. Now they want to stay in LG.

2016-05-29 15:53

I disagree, this whole situation seems a bit fishy. None of the media is giving SK any side to the story and it's all LG replying to the Media. From the sound of it back in February LG players had signed a letter on intent to the organization of LG. Now the LG players were not happy with what the LG org and what they were giving them BEFORE THE MAJOR (in terms of money) So they contacted SK who would were willing to give a better salary and legal protection from Luminosity org, the reason Legal Protection was there is in case Luminosity org decided to take action against the players upon getting out of the letter of intent (A letter of intent is what you intend to do) so it is not final and is not the same as a contract. Anyways, LG players before the major were not actually under the LG Banner, they were intending to but the LG org did not actually own the LG players who had actually signed a contract with SK a month earlier. When Duncan "Thoorin" Shields a big eSports analyst made a video about this, he spoke to SK Leader the one who had been in contact with the LG players, his name is Alex Muller. Alex Muller had said that the LG players were very eager to get out of the LG organization and wanted to sign with SK as fast as possible in order to get SK salary and everything. So after the LG players win the major the prize money actually goes to Luminosity Org. The players only get half, and then the org gets half (Some % close to that) so then after the major the LG players who were so willing and eager to leave the LG organization and sign with SK all of a sudden are all happy with LG and no longer want to go with SK. Why? It is because LG players were scared that the LG organization would not pay the players the major prize money that they owed the players. Now LG players realize they have fucked up because they just signed a contract with SK two weeks earlier. That maybe LG after getting this big sum of money would pay the players a better salary than Sk. So they decide to fuck SK in the ass and turn their backs on them and make a bunch of lies to try influence the media against SK when really they are just trying to cover up the bullshit this really is. Overall SK should own the LG players, and LG org has said that SK actually were "threatening" and "bribing" the LG players to sign with SK when if you think about it, it's just not true. LG have actually got LG players by the balls and are bribing them to stay and not leave. So SK are in the right, they did not try and steal players from LG, because at the time when LG players signed with SK, LG org never owned them. So SK are in the right and we may see a huge court case July 1st when SK threaten to take legal action against LG players if they do not go under the SK banner by July 1st Thank you

2016-05-29 20:01

good?! he's morality is so impaired that is shocking. if he just said we just wanted more money that would be nothing wrong with it. but he keep saying about ethics, jet he's action showing no regards to it whatsoever. he knew it's wrong, he feel's bad about it jet he is doing it. how dare you speak about principles if you are govern by none m8. with this statement he dug even bigger hole for himself. sk is running a business and wanted to sign better players. absolutely nothing wrong with it. LOI is not valid as it wasn't followed up with proper contract within 14 days. sk contacted 2 layers to confirm that!!! before offering them contracts. I do hope we see Brazilians in sk gaming in July or we not see them at all for next 2 years. there is enough scum bags in community already. I'm immensely disappointed by Fallen. I would expect more from him.

He also said he never replied to Alex again. But later he stated after his teammates spoke to SK, he replied to them aswell...(ok could not be with alex but with someone else, but I think Alex was the one talking to them the most.) edit: Even his sentence about "Tortuous Interference". It isn`t fucking illegal in esports. And as I am aware of is mostly only a law in the US. Also SK had contracts for LG to sign which beginn 1.7 when their contracts should run out. SO no harm there. Their little LOI is not a valid point to say they interfered wrongfully into LG`s"contract".

My point is that not only are they 2 days late at even mentioning the Situation, HLTV missed the mark by provided exactly nothing new. The essentially took the same mock up found on various other sites who were hours quicker to the story, re arranged some of the words, and pasted it onto the main page. It just lacks effort and attention dont you think? they don't even propose a position or opinion. Do you really come here to read stuff you've already read hours earlier?

Sure, you're right on that, but I don't think they should give any side on this right now since there's a lot of gray areas that we think we know, but probably we don't. Buyaka can be the best or the worst owner and we just can't tell because the situation made everyone defensive and most of what's coming now are pointers to blame others. If anything, a opinion post should be like what Nomad did for WESA, not on front-page and after the facts were all presented. I don't think we can jump into conclusions as of now, even though the whole community already has.

I like to live by the principal that actions always speak louder than words. The players actions, those being to welcome Sk's offer, negotiate, sign the deal, all while being completely secretive about it, speak much louder than their "heart felt" statements filled with guilt and click bait. When you pile on the fun fact that they also neglected to give Buyaka the decency to counter the SK offer prior to signing it, it becomes very clear that the issues here were very deep and troubling. Its almost a guarantee that Buyaka would have matched the offer, or sold the team to a willing buyer had he been given the chance ahead of the contracts being signed. If LG and Fallen truly wanted the communities understanding or support, they would show us the respect we deserve by being upfront, honest, and aware of the issue at hand. They are playing political grant standing and parlor tricks in hopes of persuading enough of us to their side that someone who assumes they have a say in the matter takes their side.

I couldn't agree more. Keep in mind though, good work usually costs money.

Maybe they didn't want to play for lum. It's their choice in the end of the day. When the contract ends they are free to go wherever they want. Even if they sign the new contract before the last one ends.

I'm a huge fan of him... But he's lost a fair amount of my respect on this matter.

Take the blame mate. Also, I've lost even more respect for Steve Maida. *FalleN, just a hint if you happen to see this, tell the truth ASAP even if it makes you look bad. People would respect you a lot more for admitting you fucked up than the situation now where you are probably not telling the absolute truth and when it comes out you will look a lot worse. At least in the former situation people will respect you as an honest person, even if they think you've done something bad.

Every Athlete that is getting paid should have an agent he trust. But NOT HIS FATHER! - Most footballers that have their parents as agents get into trouble, Neymar/messi tax evasion for example. I highly doubt their manager knows anything about the legal aspects of contracts. Considering not so long ago he threatened a player to murder him in a social media platform.

Players that arent happy, and dont want to play for certain organization.. wont play at their best, thats for sure. I understand that money is big factor in all of this, but you cant expect that team wins big tournaments for you and be 100% by head in game, if they dont want to play for your organization.. its basicly a lose - lose situation if SK wins and forces them to play.

Its a win win situation for SK. Either they gain one of the best teams of the world. Even when LG Players slumps after this, they are still Top 5 in a slump. If it goes to a legal conflict, SK will make 1 Million $ without any payments to the team.

2016-05-29 13:51

The fact is that in reality LG players WANT to play for SK. Now they are whining about it because they fucked up the situation by going behind lg's back, but they are just doing it not to piss out their fans too much...(which is quite stupid if you ask me, cause it's obvious that they were well aware of doing so).

They were aware what they were doing, i have no doubt. But i still believe Fallen when he says that they realized it was a mistake.. If i understood well, by reading all he wrote, there is nothing stoping them to play for SK after 1. July.. but they want to stay with LG. They made a mistake, and basicly now they have three options. Either play under SK, or pay big fines. Third option is some loop in law.. if it exist and if their lawyer can use it.

It's SK fault too if those were really proper contracts. Since that's illegal and can't be really done. You can't be under 2 contracts at the same time i think. It had must been pre-contract with right of full signing as soon as LG contract expire. And that is ok from SK. Biggest problem here is FalleN and all his sh** about contracts and how he didn't know what is he signing.

As i said here, i believe those were only pre-contracts so that SK org have primal rights to sign those players as soon as there LG contract expire.

No. There isn't a new contract. They are under an old LG contract until 1st of July this year. There was LOI signed in Dec last year, but LG org broke it. Since they didn't offer new contract to Brasilian team in 2 weeks that they had as a period in that LOI. That doesn't mean that LG org will not offer new contract to the team, but if they deny they will be available to join other org starting from 1st of July 2016.

I find it so extremely dumb how this even is news, and that people actually think for a second that SK is the big bad wolf or that people on the other side blame the LG org for sucking.

I don't actually think that they signed contract with SK. I don't think it's possible to legally sign new contract if you are still under some old one. SK people had must known that. But i'm pretty sure there was someting like pre-contract so that SK have all the rights to sign those players as soon as they are free from LG org. Also since FalleN and co. wanted buy out of LG org asap, so i think that SK did contact LG, but they were ignored. So that's how LG org found out about everything. No respect lost for SK. On the other hand i don't blame poor brasilians. They were unhappy at LG and they had there chance to go out. The problem is that they won the MAJOR. And since there prize went all the way to LG org, now LG org wish is the command for FalleN and the rest. If they want there money. All respect lost for LG org. I'm even thinking that all of this what FalleN said is what they command.

It looks like LG players fucked up because of clear lack of knowledge, but it also looks like that SK did not want to wait for the contract with LG to be ended to fit the #1Team players at their organization in which is very ugly here in brazil, for example when a soccer team try to buy a player/coach that is employed that is looked with a very ugly eye for the team who's trying to buy it, I believe that this situation is a combination of lack of respect from SK and lack of legal knowledge for LG players, I'll continue respecting both but I'm sure that a lot of people will stop being fans to became judges, which is ridiculous.

Actually that LOI doesn't mean anything since LG org didn't offer FalleN and his teammates new contract in the time span they were obligated to. And i'm not even sure that SK did anything legally wrong by offering BR team new contracts after LG contract is ended. Even tho that contract was (is) still active. However morally wrong is all of this chaos that FalleN is trying to create, and all this blame to SK. Since he even wanted to get bought out of LG org even before there contract ends. Now he act like he was (is) happy with that old (current) contract with LG.

2016-05-29 16:57

LG players were dumb and greedy, SK did something than you wouldn't be able to do in any sport with proper rules (even on LoL you can't do this kind of stuff). I feel like the brazilians players felt overwhelmed for the whole situation they went trough on last year, SK tried to take some advantage of that until players realized they fucked up. Anyway, like Thorin says maybe LG threatened the players with not paying prize money and stuff, we will know on july after the LG contract ends if Fallen is telling the truth or not. I'm quite sure SK won't try to force players to play for them after all this, but if the brazilians leave to another org on july (maybe FaZe, TSM or whatever) then we could be sure LG players were lying now and they always wanted to leave. We need to wait and see what happens.

2016-05-29 17:31

1 reply

Well, that's exactly the point of wait and see (you can't take everything for granted just because someone said so, there is always a chance to find out people was lying). At least some of the players had some issues with LG and wanted something better, Fallen said than sometimes LG delayed a bit the payments and than he was the only one than wanted to stay on LG at some point (he said than even thought of making a new team). It's a fact than some of them wanted something else, probably Cold, Taco and Fnx were the ones more interested on going to SK since I don't think Fer could go against Fallen. That also would make a lot sense, since if your star player wants to leave then the rest would follow him. Anyway, you always have to remember than LG isn't a big org afterall. There is a lot of orgs able to offer something better to these guys, SK is just one of them. Right now, Fallen and co. are like the Leicester City players after winning Premier League. Teams will approach to team and his current team can't outbid or even match the offers they will get. For most people when money is pulling your strings is hard to resist. Hopefully they will make the right choices on the future, this was a learning experience for all of them.

Worst situation i've heard, this is so bad...OMG FalleN is a good guy, he always try to do better choices for your friends, probably cold kept contacts with SK, he was always immature and acted like it was smarter than the others, it is the least friendly of all the players, in addition he has lost the line with the fans in Malmo saying he was tired and would retire, he was probably under pressure from fellow condemning the situation he put the team, and also the pressure of having played badly in Malmo

2016-05-29 19:48

None of the media is giving SK any side to the story and it's all LG replying to the Media. From the sound of it back in February LG players had signed a letter on intent to the organization of LG. Now the LG players were not happy with what the LG org and what they were giving them BEFORE THE MAJOR (in terms of money) So they contacted SK who would were willing to give a better salary and legal protection from Luminosity org, the reason Legal Protection was there is in case Luminosity org decided to take action against the players upon getting out of the letter of intent (A letter of intent is what you intend to do) so it is not final and is not the same as a contract. Anyways, LG players before the major were not actually under the LG Banner, they were intending to but the LG org did not actually own the LG players who had actually signed a contract with SK a month earlier. When Duncan "Thoorin" Shields a big eSports analyst made a video about this, he spoke to SK Leader the one who had been in contact with the LG players, his name is Alex Muller. Alex Muller had said that the LG players were very eager to get out of the LG organization and wanted to sign with SK as fast as possible in order to get SK salary and everything. So after the LG players win the major the prize money actually goes to Luminosity Org. The players only get half, and then the org gets half (Some % close to that) so then after the major the LG players who were so willing and eager to leave the LG organization and sign with SK all of a sudden are all happy with LG and no longer want to go with SK. Why? It is because LG players were scared that the LG organization would not pay the players the major prize money that they owed the players. Now LG players realize they have fucked up because they just signed a contract with SK two weeks earlier. That maybe LG after getting this big sum of money would pay the players a better salary than Sk. So they decide to fuck SK in the ass and turn their backs on them and make a bunch of lies to try influence the media against SK when really they are just trying to cover up the bullshit this really is. Overall SK should own the LG players, and LG org has said that SK actually were "threatening" and "bribing" the LG players to sign with SK when if you think about it, it's just not true. LG have actually got LG players by the balls and are bribing them to stay and not leave. So SK are in the right, they did not try and steal players from LG, because at the time when LG players signed with SK, LG org never owned them. So SK are in the right and we may see a huge court case July 1st when SK threaten to take legal action against LG players if they do not go under the SK banner by July 1st CHAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN on HLTV PLZ

2016-05-29 20:00

I quickly answered that I was honored to receive that kind of message and them proceed with that exact answer: "Hello Alexander, how are you doing? As we are in contract with LG, all conversations about switching teams and kind of things must be directly done with Steve, aka Buyaka, LG owner.

The business they are, generate a lot of money, and with a lot of money in the middle, comes complciated things to be taken care of that they should be prepared to deal with. I feel very bad for Buyaka that has tried his best so far to keep the players happy and they go and do shit like that. I respect them a lot, especially Fallen, but this time, they fucked up big.

They still have to fullfill and break one of the 2 contracts, they are in trouble. Theres nothing to do to defend the LG players in this situation, besides this also share a behavior from them, they are greedy and are ready to leave whatever the fuck project has invest in you for an easy exit.

2016-05-29 22:27

SK is a shitty organisation stealing money from their players, should never consider going to them. screw sk.

2016-05-29 23:06

Looks like LG players acted like kids. Respect the contract you sign (if you signed) irresponsable guys.

2016-05-29 23:22

Damage control at its best. Fuck off, Fallen, you're talking about honor and you signed another contract, lol. The funny part is if you take Fallen's version in cosideration, this has Cold's hands all over the place. That kid is really toxic and greedy.

I don't know why he decided to release such a statement, if he decided/wrote this piece on his own though... Because this makes his team (him included) look like gigantic assholes and complete retards. The first thing should have been informing LG that you received an offer from SK. And at least if you did not inform them, ask them if they received anything from SK as you pointed that they had to reach out LG's owner. This is the worst story I've ever read. You want to sign for SK, then you want them to help you, then you do not want to sign for them, but you sign them, and then you put the blame on them and say fuck off you were acting like an outlaw so I'm gonna stick with LG. YOU are responsible of your fucking action, including signing something you didn't want to. That's seriously the worst statement I have ever seen. RIP your PR FalleN & your players.

LOL I Give zero fuks just get money

2016-05-30 10:02

I had huge respect for Fallen, like he seemed like the best most mature person in cs:go watching interviews, and well what he has done for the community is very nice. But I don't know, we all have flaws, nobody is perfect but this statement, along with what has happened makes one lose respect for what it seems to be such a great invidual.

2016-05-30 10:32

Ayy lmao LG players playing a sport they love and all they want is money

2016-05-30 14:04

oh!oh!oh! money !money! money!

2016-05-30 15:56

lol for all the shady things SK did, this is much worse what LG is doing, using the 500k as a hostage to force the players to act nice and stay. You thought gaming orgs were shady in the past, now see them today where there is actual money to be won...

2016-05-30 19:59

Fallen and his crew signed a F**** contract with SK. Who knows how much money SK spent based on the thought they would have LG players playing for them the next month? Imagine you sign a contract to buy a new House. Based on that you sell your old one, but suddenly your new House's seller doesn't want to sell it to you anymore and you now gotta pay rent until you get a new House. A contract has MONEY, MORAL, HONOR and many other things involved. You can't just "regreat your decision" and undo a contract. Being a brazilian I feel embarassed for all of them for being so greedy and so inconsequent. They made a BIG mistake by signing with SK and should pay for what they've done, legally speaking.

2016-05-31 02:22

Fallen's lawyer: "Repeat after me - bla bla SK knew bla bla teammates mind bla bla bla..."

2016-05-31 03:30

What a f***** hypocrite.... you have noone to blame but yourself FalleN yet you try to blame everyone else.... GTFO

2016-05-31 13:06

Lol he paints him and his team out to be total morons in this statement

2016-05-31 14:25

After reading the espn article, the tweets, fallen's statement to the daily dot, and thorin's video, I've come to the conclusion that the fault is, on the biggest part on the players themselves. Not because they are greedy (I think they were right to look for other org propositions and to learn their real market value with their new-found success, like any professional does, and I'd support them going for a better deal with SK, or any other org.). But for being immature, naive and ignorant enough not to bring in any lawyer(s) at ANY point in this process for themselves, that understands Californian and German law and a Portugese translator to consult and review LG's LOI and SK's contract and tell them if the LOI was binding or not to decide if they should be moving orgs.

What a f***** hypocrite.... you have noone to blame but yourself FalleN yet you try to blame everyone else.... GTFO

2016-05-31 19:52

Fair sure the facts given by SK and even by LG make this statement more bullshit than the thought of Trump being President He's clearly talking shit just like the owner of LG and it's fairly easy to see through In sports this kind of statement is illegal

2016-05-31 20:11

My dad sat me down once. He looked me straight in the eyes and said son, pay attention. *hands me piece of paper* *writes down chore list* *scribbles an X with a line* "Sign here" "?...Ok" *signs contract* Fast forward a few weeks. I tried to weasel my way out of my chores obviously, so my pops notices and sits me down. "Mijo, we had an agreement, you can't back out" Up to that point I consistently wasn't keeping my promises. Pops had to sit me down and tell me that when you sign something, it's a binding agreement. There is no backing out. It's under law ! In the same breath you should always do your best and keep your promises. Doing so gives one honor and integrity. Fitting that we made laws to honor the words of men when they shake hands and look each other in the eye. Best of luck Fallen, Do what is right.

2016-06-02 07:39

Possibilities: 1-)Both parts friendly rescinds the contract and move on 2-)SK makes the litigation: -Loses and attracts antipathy of the community and pro players because of FalleN -Wins and attracts antipathy of the community and pro players because of FalleN if LG players prevented to play tournaments: they go to SK and play like shit for obvious reasons. they stay inactive for the period of the contract and SK will have the worst fanbase of esports spamming hate to them forever. Sk is in a lose-lose situation and must backpedal for damage control, if they lose in court they basically will be dead for csgo.

2016-06-02 07:40

People should have to see how much SK asking from sponsors peer month,most of people in EU can get luxury apartmant for this in centre of any big city,rip.

2016-06-02 19:53

Reply me plz or i will hunt you down

2016-06-03 18:12

So who is the wrong one here, I've heard SK has been doing this kind of stuff for a long time, but they did sign the contract. I'm confused af can someone explain?

2016-07-02 20:55

Staying in LG, kek.
