he wasnt dropped, again unless you're living in a communist country this can happen to anyone, and nobody would care
its called his contract ran out, and SEN thought that zekken/pancada/sacy was better than shahz and dapr (dephh came along with that)
and being honest dephh was better than shahz atp even tho ayrin was the better caller between the two
sorry if reality is sad, but thats reality, when you sign contracts you read them, if you don't sign an extension you're not dropped and you def didnt find out on george geddes tweet, cuz he wasn't renewed, he knows this
I'm not arguing over legality though, this is a matter of ethics. sure you can speak all you want about this is how it is in the "real world" but that doesn't change the fact that it's scummy and orgs should strive to be better
these are shahzam's own words on the matter:
SEN last told me they were working on a contract renewal and then I learned from the george geddes article while live on stream. It was embarrassing and not a nice way to find out for sure, and the clip went viral. Rob's damage control to the clip was to lie and say I was informed but there were 0 calls and 0 messages from SEN to me or my agent. They were always in their right to make the roster however they wanted even if that didn't include me, I just felt wronged to learn that way. The org is still filled with passionate people that do an amazing job and the current players are good people.
I wish he had owned up to poorly handling it and that it didn't go down like that but it's in the past now. It sucks that people think I had any reason to lie about it. I feel for pancada finding out like this but he's a great player and I'm sure we'll see him playing on a roster soon
it's fine if they found better players and decided to not renew the contract but they didn't even immediately inform him about it then lied to the public + this is ignoring all the drama over how he was "promised a spot" if he played with shroud (which is very stupid from both sides)
