Seriously, they were both big names in korea when they were picked up, and puma went to NASL s1 on TSL. I also wonder how many people remember how big of a monster Puma was for TSL in the gstl. However, I don't agree with that guy, it is way to early to tell if they are getting worse, and it is also a really douche thing to say imo. | ||

I think people really don't understand that he is a code S zerg (well up/downs now, but still). Maybe cause he's bad against terrans and korean tosses? I just think people haven't seen him play as much as other TL players, so they are naturally cautious. | ||

To be completely fair, tons of players who were dominating in Code S in the time period you're talking about (around 10-12 months ago) are not even in the GSL any more. Puma's play for TSL consisted of what... 10 games? 10 games does not a player make. | ||

Losing 3/3 in the NASTL Losing 1/1 in the IPL TAC IdrA, HuK and JYP losing in GSL with two being knocked to Code B DeMu losing to BlinG and losing 3-0 to Illusion in the IEM Sao Paulo qualifier Losing Axslav and StrifeCro Compared to the positives of... beating vVv in a clan war, JYP getting third at HSC4 and qualifying for the IEM Season 6 final and DeMusliM actually getting a spot at IEM Sao Paulo by another player dropping out. Dear oh dear. | ||

Dear oh dear. To be fair, they can probably still bank on having 3 players in the GSL as opposed to Liquid's two. As far As I know, all EG and Liquid GSL players are in Code A, correct? If we exclude all Koreans, EG is still the most successful team by a fairly large margin.If we're including Koreans, no foreign team really comes close, even if they have Korean players. Things just don't look that great for non-Korean players in general.  | ||

Zenio, Idra, Hero, and Huk are too -- they're just all in Code A. It doesn't look like Puma is in the GSL though. Haha, wow I'm really behind the times. Code A started already so I'm completely wrong. Ignore this. I thought the Lunar New Year would delay GSL longer than it did and the times are kinda horrible for me to watch. | ||

Things just don't look that great for non-Korean players in general. ? If you're talking about the present, EG has only one player left in GSL [JYP]. If you're talking about the past, then Liquid has had plenty in GSL beyond Hero and Zenio [Jinro, Sheth, Ret, and if you're counting open seasons, TLO and Haypro]. Even in the not too distant past, EG has only had the most players in GSL because they hired them after they already reached GSL code S, whereas you could point to Liquid as arguably being the staging point where Huk made Code A/S. This is not to hate on EG, though, I love them, just not as much as Liquid  , but it's pretty undeniable that they just aren't that successful in 2012 so far. | ||
