Playing the game at that level is about money and prestige, if you cannot offer more than another team you do not deserve that player. This is not ScBw and teams don't deserve slave like control of their players. I really tend to agree with this statement, but I'd like to point out that with BW they signed contracts regulating such things at their own discretion, and get payed salaries. Just like any job, when you work for someone, you get paid, and you have less freedom. If you want more freedom such as working for yourself, you may get paid less or none at all. | ||

Cheers to them for taking a big step to blurring the lines Koreans/Foreigners and trying to make the best team possible regardless of nationality. Still really curious how their team house is going to work though. If they were smart, they'd throw some money at a coach that can run a house in the Korean style. | ||

I hope he is (puma) at least payed what he deserves and was not "tricked" to earn less then the average EG guys. FWIW though, there has to be some sort of "transfer fee" when things like this happen. | ||

These guys should be able to be free agents and sign contracts just like any other "sport" in any other sports (well football, europe to be exact), this is considered as tapping up and the original team can take the offending team to court (if they wish to) | ||

This brings back the argument that the only reason this does not happen in other sports is because of a governing body, which SC2 does not have. So for now it is kosher. | ||

I wonder how high your post-count will get before you get the boot. I'm looking forward to hearing all sides of the story, i don't get why people can't atleast wait a bit before they make up their minds and start trashing EG.. I for one,, will wait a bit. | ||

I don't think anybody really faults Puma for leaving.. he must have gotten a better deal. I think the point of all this shit storming back and forth is because EG didn't contact TSL prior to initiating talks with Puma - which I understand is not something that is actually regulated by an authoritative body meaning that it wasn't illegal or anything just.. "disrespectful". I don't know enough about SC2 e-sports to comment on whether or not a certain behavior is respectful or not, but that seems to be the debate. Personally, I think it's great that Puma wants to try his luck with a foreign team. Either way this will all blow over eventually. | ||
