Dota 2: Sylar accuses BurNIng of breaking contract terms

The Chinese Dota 2 community is going through a new drama involving breach of contract and broken promises. In the new show of who is wrong and who betrays whom, Liu “Sylar” Jiajun accuses his former owner, Xu “BurNIng” Zhilei, of failing to fulfill the terms of his contract and of being a bad coach for Team Aster.

Sylar joined Team Aster at the beginning of last season when he switched from VGJ.Thunder. According to Sylar, he accepted the amount of 1.5 million yuan – although it was less than he deserved – because BurNIng promised to compensate him with team shares. Aster’s season went from bad to disastrous and Sylar was changed to Aster’s second team, Team Sirius. After failing to qualify for the final Major with a Minor in the 2018-2019 DPC season, Sylar requested to leave the team.

“I’ve been playing professionally for about eight or nine years, and this is the first time I’ve asked to leave because I don’t see where I’m going, and if the team keeps playing like that, I’ll play more and more. bad, so are my teammates,” Sylar said in an interview. In that interview, he mentioned that his contract was not “well looked after”, making it difficult to join another team earlier this season. Sylar skipped the first Major and Minor, but just now announced he’s joining EHOME. This means Sylar’s contract with Aster has ended.

However, in the QQ group chat, Sylar shared the story with BurNIng and Aster. Here is the translation:

“I really don’t know what to say about everything. It started when BurNIng broke his promise. I’m really tired of him. I never told anyone why I removed him from my in-game friends list. I’ve always had to avoid making shivers. I really don’t understand why I’m the one to blame. I joined Team Aster with 1.5 million yuan, and I don’t deserve the stake?

At first, BurNIng was the one who offered to split the shares for me, saying I could withdraw my money at any time. On the day of signing the contract, he said I can withdraw 700,000 yuan now and the stock will be valid in the future. When signing the contract, Pink (BurNIng’s wife) gave me a 3-year contract, said we are friends, so no one will cause any trouble, so I signed it straight away without thinking. Now, I can’t take out the stake because I haven’t finished playing for them for 3 years. I really hope they say that when I sign the contract. It’s like they set a trap for me, and I just can’t stand it.”

“Do you have any idea why Aster ended up like this? It’s the work of BurNIng. He wanted to be a coach but at the same time refused to discuss the draft with the team. And he did that all season. A week before Kuala Lumpur, BurNIng said this: “I have a new coach for you.” After Kuala Lumpur, he returned to the role of coach and will draft for the team. Sometimes, he wakes up at 2pm and goes to the practice room to draft. Sometimes he stays up until 3-4 pm and works until 6 pm. Then, without a summary or anything, he went back to his room and started streaming. We talked to him many times, tried to tell him he could draft himself, but he never listened, he never told us about his draft idea, and then he came back. my room after the drafting phase is over.

When we lost our first BO3 series at Chongqing Major, BurNIng looked angry, but then when we were eliminated, he went on weibo again and pretended to be a good guy. It disgusts me, I only have a problem with people who have a negative impact on the team. You can compare with other players to see if I’m right.”

BurNing nor any of Sylar’s former teammates from Aster and Sirius have yet to comment on the matter.
