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. At least SK made an arrangement with the team management rather than just steal players behind everyone's back. | ||

Sure he can enter more tournaments for sure and all that, but I think like you perhaps also that now he's practice that he had with TSL will fall apart and that he will most likely after a couple months perhaps not be the puma beast he is, but we will see. | ||

Something has to be going wrong at TSL, although this just might be EG "stealing" their player. I seriously doubt that is the whole story though... Good for EG (assuming this IS happening). | ||

Korean teams could just as easily offer foreign players a salary and ask them to join their team could they not? Edit, they could offer their own players salaries. I can understand the talk to the coaches of the team thing but thats a very eastern philosophy so theres not much that can be done now thanks to cultural differences That's BS, eastern western thing. When a club/ team invests in a player by training him in the best possible conditions (for performance), offers great coaching, housing etc and turns him in to a great player, it deserves compensations (transfer fee) when that player switches teams/ clubs. That's how things work in football and work like that because they are regulated by a governing body. KESPA 2 here it comes :p | ||

I can understand the talk to the coaches of the team thing but thats a very eastern philosophy so theres not much that can be done now thanks to cultural differences That's the problem, Korea grows best talent when it comes to Starcraft. Whether you agree or not, foreign scene avoids discovering and growing its own young talent. Instead, most teams prefer already established players; this is shown by the fact that we've been watching same bunch of guys for the most part since the early days of release. (Sure, there are some exception, but not even close to being on the same level as Korean) So from a Korean's perspective, it may look like foreigner teams merely "use" the entire korean scene to grow a good player from scratch and they "steal" them to make them represent their team and sponsor. However, I expect Korean teams to start taking action against this sort of things and we may see a more strict environment they have in SC1, which in my opinion is unfortunate. | ||

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. amen brother | ||

If he didnt , then he is free to talk to anyone he wants. TSLs fault for not getting him to sign a contract. | ||

Indeed. A good post among so many bad posts some really painful to read... This is good for esports, good for puma, and good for EG. Sure its bad for TSL but well, if this is a ' sport ' this kind of things may start happening. | ||
