good for puma in the short run... horrible decision in the long run. every single player that left korea so far has immediately fallen behind in terms of skill.
You mean, the only player that was good that left (IdrA) who now happens to also only plays 3 hours a day (reportedly).
Sure yeah that is everybody, but that is misleading. Sen technically was in Korea for 1-2 weeks, and look how bad he is now...
JK hes a monster.

I agree Antoine.
An incredibly short-sighted decision, but it is his decision nonetheless.
This decision might also be "fear" based. In BW non-top progamers and practice partners earned very little or nothing at all. Maybe fearing this could happen in Korean SC2 scene he decide it is time to earn some money.

Hehe I have the worst luck with my Fantasy team. I just traded to get PuMa on my team.

EG!! that's a lie. Puma Good luck. TSL Everyone you want to be a good gamer. good bye.

Some very on point comments by the people who are against the EG signing. Yes Puma owes something to TSL. Yes EG was very unethical for approaching Puma on their own.
Lets put it this way.
Imagine you are there, at NASL, the final event. And you know for a fact that PUMA is contracted to TSL, who spent their own money to fly him over there, and due to his success they must have spent a lot of money investing in him (team house, food, equipment, coaching, player connections, practice partners, salary etc..), and you as a team (EG) approaches him quietly to say "hey, would you like to come join our team? Lets talk about it more. Here's our number, call us" - behind the backs of the team coach. That my friends, is damn DIIIRTY.

In a capitalistic world I don't see why anyone would have an issue with this.

You should've gone directly to PuMa instead.

Fnatic versus SK anyone?
My thoughts exactly. There is no written rule between teams. The only organization that does this is KeSPA.
Try FIFA, NHL and pretty much any professional sport.
That SC2 doesn't have the organization behind it yet doesn't make this any less of a dick move.

SEn still plays on KR servers.
PuMa still lives in KR, therefore, he won't suck awfully.
Also PuMa is PuMa, he won't have trouble getting practice partners.

The only thing I don't get is why he would leave a Korean pro house. If he gets to stay in another, that's cool.
|
i just hope EG can offer Puma the training he needs, otherwise we might see a very talented player starting to slump..
And now TSL has lost their ace player as well.. i hope for them they manage to hold on..

Why is anyone surprised by this? I think that we can all agree that, for the most part, EG's roster has not performed up to their own expectations. They risked becoming irrelevant at a time when they absolutely could not afford to because they sunk a bunch of money and man hours into their team house. I just hope they did their research on Korea and the business culture of Korea and are prepared to mitigate any possible backlash. By that I mean, what happens if the Korean Association of teams bars their players from practicing with players from EG? Puma would be kind of screwed.

holy shit 1 day 128 pages..way to own it up I guess
Skinterran fighting!!

I thought this was a troll thread, part of me still does. Well if he is coming to MLG's and wins a code S spot? idk this is really weird. I guess the Koreans have finally realized the money to be won on the foreign scene.

Yep. Or I guess a more pointed question- what would KeSPA do in this situation?

Wow, Korean on Every team! Everyone gets a Korean!!
Hope all goes well for EG and Puma.

Really good for EG, Really good for Puma, Really bad for TSL, Really good for foreign eSports
