The team revealed today that after Puma won NASL, Puma directly received interest from a foreign team, Evil Geniuses. Manager Lee noted that "It is disappointing that we have to make a decision like this, but it's absolutely disgusting that Evil Geniuses would ignore the coaches completely and directly go talk to the player" TIG confirms that Puma will be joining Evil Geniuses. EG made an offer to Puma after they made it to the round of 4, and after that, Puma had decided that he would accept EG's offer. Puma revealed his intentions to the TSL manager after coming back to Korea. Manager Lee decided to respect the player's wishes in the end. He noted that "It's really disturbing. It feels like the player I raised was just stolen away from me.", adding that "There needs to be a system to stop foreign teams from stealing Korean players like this" EG has been revealed to pay Puma a certain amount of salary, and to provide Puma with money for foreign tournaments. http://www.playxp.com/news/read.php?news_id=3209550 http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=709880&board=&category=13438&subcategory=&page=1&best=&searchmode=&search=&orderby=&token= That part bugs me a tad. Both because it really does shed a negative light on foreigner teams and also Puma knew a lot coming over to SC2 after playing BW as Flash's practice partner for however long. It's not like he really raised him up or anything, he just knew who he was and realized that he was going to be a solid player after having that much skill prior. | ||

Puma informed coach lee and told him that he wishes to join EG. So coach lee could do nothing but release him (he never had the chance to talk to EG). This is pretty sad... I don't think it's sad at all. Good for Puma, good for EG. I personally find it highly offensive that some coach thinks he, and not the player should be approached with job offers. Think about it, if your employer claimed that you cannot switch jobs unless a rival approaches your management about it, you'd think it was absolutely insane. "There needs to be a system to stop foreign teams from stealing Korean players like this" Yes, it's called a contract and a competitive salary. | ||

I don't see anything wrong with it, good players should always be courted by everyone and it's up to them to decide where they actually want to go. | ||
