For those who are concerned about such team hops. Once KeSPA gets involved you won't have to worry about such dealings anymore. They have their foot right in the door. A few years from now we won't have such problems in SC2. At least, not in Korea. I cannot speak for the rest of the world because there is no organization that looks over the international scene.

EG, working together to help destroy SC2.

YAY, I have new SC2 and EG slogans!

Side note, I will go out of my way to avoid ALL corporations sponsoring EG. ALL OF THEM!


You go girl! I'm sure actively avoiding the Monster Energy drink in the grocery store, maybe even sending a deathly glare in its direction, will help destroy EG!

TSL should just make a counter-offer is they really wanted to keep PuMa on the team.

What does that even mean? If anything it's worse using an eastern "standard of morality," with its sense of honour and family etc. The western capitalist outlook is probably the one in which it makes the most sense.

Dumb comment.

...what? What other standards of morality are you referring to? Eastern standards of morality, which as has already been said, are just as strict as Western, if not more so? "Corporate" morality? Whatever-the-heck-I-want morality?
Give me a break.

Everyone raging at EG should stop and think. We don't have any of EG's story, we know PUMA made this deal, not forced to accept, we don't know if he's coming to NA to practice, we don't know ANYTHING, and it's TSLs fault for not contractually keeping PuMa.

You guys are brats.

WHY BUT!?
Isn't what Puma wants the most important thing here? HE choose to do what HE thought was best, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS x.X;
This community is freaking awful....

Which is why he gets to make the decision...doesn't mean it might not be wrong or detrimental to his training. Your post is freaking awful.

Yes, to the people solely blaming EG, I would assume TSL had the option to just give a counter-offer. It's equally sad that they wouldn't/couldn't dish out the money to keep him on the team.

The only thing that Inc and Machine have done is finish high in 1, 16 man double elim tournament in over a year and not even consistenly produced, Inc wil be out of NASL and MLG before the end of the year IMO and Machine too.

The unusual format of MLG protects players and Inc wasn't even good enough to get into the top 16 after all of last years MLG's, he was ranked 18th and got a free pass as jinro and Huk didnt come back. He may well be lucky again because of the format and the fact that Koreans who have come previously will probably not come to each one allowing the free ranking points they get for starting in the top 16 to inflate their positions.


OH MY GAWD GUYS, iNcontrol, Machine, Strifecro, IdrA, Axslav, ARE ALL SO BAD. THEY NEVER GET 1ST PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.

...

Seriously though, this mentality needs to stop. The one where since there can only be so many good players, and if you can't beat MMA to get top MLG, or Naniwa or Kiwikaki or Losira or HuK or Bomber...

OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE BAD, RITE?!?

This is basically going to force the korean teams to add some contracts or clauses to their players which make it more difficult for them to join foreigner teams, even if the acquisition is done with both teams in communication from the beginning unlike this one. It is something that eventually would have to happen, so it is not like EG is "killing esports" or anything like that, but color me not surprised EG is the catalyst.

If PuMa wants to make himself persona non grata to the entire Korean scene for money that's not EG's fault.

I think we'll soon be seeing how many Koreans actually enjoy getting room, board and no salary.

This is actually cool regardless how disturbing some people may think it is, for huge korean power house players being picked up by top foreign teams just shows how big Sc2 is getting in the foreign scene. EGPuMa, has a nice ring to it.

I love how theres all this outrage now but as soon as PuMa starts going to MLG's and competing in European tournaments people will forget this ever happened and just admire how good he is. Everyone should be happy for PuMa, it probably wasn't an easy decision, but if he's better off in EG I say more power to him, we should be happy that talented players get these kinds of opportunities.
