If they're really planning on paying MMA, I hope that means they've learned from their experiences with JYP and PuMa and have figured out how to market Korean players.
What do you mean by do more with Puma?
he was a great player and constantly present on the international stage, yet they never turned him into a marketable star
It's so weird when you think about it, but actually EG hasn't really marketed their best performing players very well. :/ Huk was similarly good, and actually does well this year, with a 4th and 3rd place at MLGs. But he just isn't out there, he seems to be totally under the radar and mostly attends MLG without any hype.

Yeah, but his personality isn't exactly marketable.

Tbh JYP is more marketable than puma he's already got built up joke/reputation with JYPvT and he seems more outgoing than puma.
Also JYP is the voice of korea, so that helps too. Puma is "that terran with the weird hair colors"
You're welcome. I just googled it a few minutes earlier because I really liked the tune. GSL manages to introduce me to a handful of great songs every season.

JYP used to stream a bit (mainly when he stayed at the liar ages ago) and he was super funny and interacted with his viewers heaps

Puma can secure a hair company as a sponsor.
Puma should've marketed his 1-1-1s, making witty comments in interviews to earn himself some nicknames and memes.
I'm just saying, EG had one of the best Koreans you could ever get on their team, and they didn't really market him all that well.
So if they're really going after MMA, a player who probably won't ever achieve as much as PuMa at this point in his career, I wonder what their reasoning/new plan could be.

Puma is also famous for his bad manner, haha, apparantly he's not very good with Korean manners.

They're going to have MMA memorize all the sponsors and say them in English during interviews at foreign events and star in a Kingston commercial.

Not only that, but to be honest, MMA is tainted. There's no way around it.
