I'll keep it a tad more respectful than some of these replies, as much as I don't want to.
You haven't had the trust of this fan base for a very long time, Adam.
Scrap, Mercules, now JoeDeceives.
Course correct, or you won't have a fan base left.
@DaysUntilFH6 To be honest, I never do the mp ones. I’ve never had 100% and it’s never killed me, but hey, I’m ok with skipping out on things. The Eliminator is bleh.
Sorry, you’re going to lose a lot more from this than anything. You cannot keep making decisions like this. At one point in time, keeping letting go of the greats instead of building strong is how the castle crumbles. The fans of the org will all flee. After so much deception and lies, there comes a certain point when enough is enough. We heard too many times “trust the process”. We waited. We trusted. Nothing happened, or, we got our hopes up… and shit like this happened. I’m done.
I want to say this one myself.
Joe is one of the best players we've ever had, and he's leaving us. I'm not going to dress that up. It hurts. If you're upset reading this, we're feeling the exact same thing.
The offer was one neither the org nor Joe was going to turn down. It was a good deal for the club and the right move for him, and those two don't always line up. Letting him go was on me, and I'd make the same call again. He earned a shot at the bag with how he played and how he carried himself. When a guy gives a team everything Joe gave us, you don't stand in the way. You do right by him. So that's exactly what we did.
He came to Toronto and became one of the best in the world in our colours. I got to watch it happen, and I'll never forget it.
To the fans who've been angry these last few weeks, I hear you, all of you. You've given this org your trust and we're going to keep earning it, and I don't say that lightly. I'm proud of this org through all of it, the wins and the losses both. Proud of the events we put on and the energy you bring to them, online and in the building. Your passion is what makes all of this worth doing.
This was a hard call, but it's the one that sets us up to keep delivering for you. We'll do what we've always tried to do best: find talent and grow it. But that's a conversation for another day.
Thank you for everything, Joe. Once KOI, always KOI. We'll be loud for you out there.
Adam
Tout a commencé avec Scrap, et ça a chamboulé après. Ils se débarrassent de talent et tout le monde a des ??? Au dessus de leur tête. Les personnes concernées ne voulaient pas quitter (Scrap l’a même affirmé). Et là, ils laissent partir Joe… mais tout le monde voulait que Insight quitte… mais lui reste, comme d’habitude…
@JayCruyff En fait, ce qu’on en sait ici, c’est plus comme $150k, et ce serait Joe et Kips. Ici, on les fans on rejette tous la décision de la direction et réclament leur tête. J’ai pas entendu pour le scrim par contre. On s’est tous levé avec ça ce matin (je suis du Canada).
@AzloOfficial What I meant mostly was keeping the old duo and not the new one. It’s like they just keep the default CleanX/Insight and always push away the rest. Like they are untradable. But yes I agree.
