The European team fnatic earlier this month stood without a manager when TriMble left them. Is the clan now suffering more within? ElakeDuck is speaking up.
To solve this the management of fnatic seem to put some players away, such as ElakeDuck, just to guarantee the stay of the other players. ElakeDuck decided to open his hearth for an interview with GosuGamers.net, in order to make things clear:
ElakeDuck shares some inside info:
GosuGamers: Hello Duck! Just recently you published a forum post, telling that you've been kicked out from Fnatic, can you tell us any more about it?
ElakeDuck: Let's see if I can get this soap opera right. It started out with mTw trying to set up a new wc3 team, they wanted to get Xyligan and Satiini as players (plus few more from different teams) and trimble was going to manage the team, they offered more money than fnatic. For one reason or another, heard different stories useless to speculate, the mTw thing didn't work out. Fnatic had then already promised to pay Satiini/Xyligan the same as the offer from mTw was to keep them around, - Money that fnatic didn't have. It was decided, don't ask me how, that Xyligan and Satiini would split the salary currently belonging to me. Me on the other hand was offered the great deal of wearing the proud tag of fnatic for free, but politely declined.
Also I want be clear about one thing. Before joining fnatic I was very clear to them that playing wc3 would not be my main focus and I would not be as good (bad if u want) as I previously was, and they still wanted me to play for them.
GosuGamers: How does this work with your contract (if you have one)?
ElakeDuck: Yea I have a contract running for a few more months but it's just whatever. In my experience most contracts have many useless things listed (post in forums so and so many times write blogs etc etc) so they could use any random reason for not paying me.
GosuGamers: So I guess your current relationship with the new manager Noname and your former team mates are kind of tense at the moment?
ElakeDuck: Both Yes and No. Noname just joined and he's a smart talented guy which will be interesting to see what he can do with the team. I think the fnatic management handled this pretty bad and I don't agree with their priorities (Xyligan, Satiini getting salary increase for wanting to leave but Rotterdam the most loyal and dedicated player not?) but I obviously understand their decision. Rotterdam is a good friend and a stand up guy which I wish the best of luck, same with Elfi. Satiini and Xyligan meh...kinda think they are rats.
GosuGamers: Yea, you and Satiini seem to not be the best of friends after reading some quotes available in the WC3L Channel at IRC. Has this relationship gone down just because of this deal or is it something that's been hanging around for a longer period of time?
ElakeDuck: Not really been hanging around, I just think he's an arrogant rat. I'm sure he doesn't love me either.
GosuGamers: So how is your point of view on your gaming careers future?
ElakeDuck: I doubt I'll play in a clan again, I'll probably just go to a tournament once in awhile.
GosuGamers: Sad to hear, hopefully ENC is one of the tournaments you are talking about! Any last shout-outs to the big crowd?
ElakeDuck: Nah, just thanks for the interview.
