i hope i am not wrong at trhat point.. but he said that fOu Leadership declared things a bit wrong in Public and that their arent 2 teams but 1 team FXO with two divisions... he also states that he is going to provide the team with money and fOu provides management and contacts.. that pretty much sounds to me that he "bought" it...and fOu couldnt handle the financial part on their own any longer.... correct me if i am wrong...and sry if i am and apologiez for my bad english... | ||

How would teams be able to finance themselves purely from prize winnings which is basically a lottery? that makes no sense. However you should realise MC along with other players have repayed their teams with money. | ||

It might enforce good practices with contracts and clear situations to avoid such mess. Of course, coach Lee and TSL might here suffer from this but in the long run, it could be good for the players. I'm curious though about how many pro players play in known teams without any sort of contract. | ||

We are not under the same type of agreement as oGs.TL. FXO has aquired fOu, it iwll become FXO. Acquired sounds similar to buy to me. Anyway am I the only one who doesn't see anything wrong with it ? Isnt it should be up to the PLAYER to decide for wich team he wants to play on? PuMa didn't had a contract right? If he didn't , then there is no problem, of course it's another story if he had one but I would still be ok with it I think. Since when did a player switching teams became illegal ? | ||

No Contract, No Problem. If there was a contract in place, then there have been two recent events where contracts in eSports have been breached by organizations recruiting players. Breaching/Voiding contracts is a serious offense and diminishes the credibility of all those involved, trickling down to industry's perception by outsiders. Until more information is released I will restrain final judgment. | ||

So what's going to happen to Puma now? I assume he'll move out of the TSL house but where does he go? I'm sure he'll still have practice partners on bnet but I would not be shocked if some of the TSL players gave him the cold shoulder. | ||
