You quote Dan for your defense. Are you serious? I already gave my retort to this claim by Dan. He's simply egging others on and FD along with Tester left oGs on their own accord. Not Lee's. They wanted out. You should know what Dan is capable of and how he works considering you've been apart of this community for a while. Mind boggling. You bring up journalist standards once again. Seriously? These standards you speak of are nothing but hyperbole especially in this industry. Shit like this happens all the time. Again, Milkes isn't a journalist. Stop treating him like such. Let's discuss Milkes Twitter comments. Last time I checked, you are allowed to post your thoughts via Twitter on your personal account. Twitter is one way of retrieving information and it's just that. It's a resource and nothing more. Yes, real reporters use Twitter to break developing stories. However, no one in their right mind would view it as the actual story. It's only used for leads. Once again, Milkes. Translator. He translated an article on another site and brought it here. Twitter and the article he translated are two separate things. | ||

Do I feel entitled to an immediate statement from Brian Sabean (the General Manager), or do I wait until the public platform (the press conference) happens in order to hear it then. MLB has anti-tampering rules. "Oh, but you see... Puma was not under contract so that does not apply!" So what about Sen? Pretty sure he's under contract! | ||

What EG did to pull Puma out of TSL didn't include anything illegal by law. Puma was not bound under any legal contracts and TSL decided to release him anyway (not that it would have mattered since there were no contracts). One could say it was disrespectful and "dirty" but EG did what they had to do to acquire a talented player. EG isn't a new team to the scene. They have been around for many years and they probably want to be around for many years more, as a better team. However, the point here, is that they should have known the consequences. It's not like EG never watched how things work in Korea. SC2 and its leagues have been out for long enough time for EG to know how things operate there. They should have expected disappointment from TSL's coach and staff, they should have anticipated that interviews and statements would be made available pretty quickly. Even if EG didn't have enough time to respond to TSL coach's interview, they should have already prepared several original statements regarding the acquisition of Puma and their stance on this issue. It's obvious there are time zone differences and teams should have already taken this into account. E-sports is global, and that implies while you're sleeping, articles and interviews can pop up halfway around the globe. You simply can't use it as an excuse for being unprepared. I'm glad the community is spewing out a ton of opinions and having an active discussion. It tells me, at the least, that the moral side of sports is alive and recognized in e-sports. If people didn't care about respect and care for teams and played only by legal contracts, there wouldn't be a discussion right now. The replies I saw on PlayXP and TIG were mostly constructive and well-mannered, so that tells me at least the SC2 audience on those particular websites aren't silly kids spamming random derogatory garbage like on Fomos. *edit: and thanks TLO <3 | ||

If he is lying he deserves to be banned for saying that when the drama is happening. | ||

If you get news and don't want to be held accountable for the news post made, then forward the news you gather to a journalist who IS willing to gather further comments and IS willing to be held accountable for their journalistic integrity. It is something I, and many people have done in the past and should NOT be left out on Team Liquid. erm, you realise you just quoted someone regarding a subject you don't provide further information about? Something you seem to think is bad for someone like Milkis to do. Something even more inflammatory than a simple translation. | ||

Sens contract is running out at the end of August or September so yes teams have been checking on his interest levels in moving or if he will be renewing with them. | ||

WE'LL HAVE THIS WRAPPED UP IN NO TIME. and at the quoted comment, AG basically runs EG. It would be like firing the CEO out of his own company... I think you are overreacting a bit. He doesn't deserve to lose his job. | ||

Which would break the anti-tampering rules in every professional sports league that I can think of. What is your point? | ||

However you should be aware that what PlayXP did might be completely appropriate for a korean news site... so when Alex says that korean teams need to play the western game of contracts he should not chicken out to play the korean game of media. This is such a good point. I imagine if they made the effort to contact someone at PlayXP or thisisgame or even gomtv they could've got some coverage if they wanted to clear up any misunderstandings. | ||
