This is actually quite big news. Obviously very unlikely we will ever hear the full story, especially if there is any scandal.

anyone know when he joined team FT? perhaps he simply signed a shorter contract than most?

always surprise me how many pros get signed and dropped by Tilt especially good ones like Nenad and Benyamine over the last couple weeks.

Whil Wheaton was the only one I can think of that was dropped by Stars over the last few years.

their contracts were probably up for renewal and both asked for too much.

Not completely disagreeing, but it would be weird to take a hard-lined approach like this and keep playing anyways once you lost, no? Moving to another site is their leverage...

I could understand Nenad going to another site to play the size of games he does but there is nowhere else that Pumppu would want to play.
