It happens in real sports, get used to it. | ||

Korean players are not genetically superior but still, foreign are getting owns so badly and it's due to korean teams way to work, the fact that starcraft is a part of their culcture and in a way, pretty similar to actual sports like football (no this is not soccer !  ). I feel like foreign teams (and the players themself ofc) need to work on that first and buying a big name (in an old dirty fashion) doesnt feel right for me. but anyway, this is both Puma and EG choice so what you gonna do. | ||

Source I could be wrong, but I have to imagine that they may be saying its a lie that they're genius's (implying that they're not so smart)? Thats what I got out of it. That and that tsl still wishes puma the best of luck despite the situation. | ||

The problem with e-sports is, if legal action is actually taken here how it pans out. Subject A v Subject B A has 'morally right, and contractually right' on his side. B has money on his side A's lawyer isn't as good as B's and thus B wins the battle. Damage is done to reputations, and money is spent. Nothing is achieved. I guess I am fairly safe legally from this kind of thing. However, I would absolutely hate to go to court over something like this.... It would be as coin flip as zvz | ||

If the answer is advertising, then exactly where are these advertisements coming from? The only advertisements I ever see watching SC2 is during tournaments, but that money should be going to the tourney organizer and not the team right? exposure, everytime a player is on a show they always plug their sponsors. everytime a player goes to an event usually their sponsor is visible on their jerseys. the fans of said player also wants to know what keyboard he uses, what mouse he uses, and probably what type of underwear he wears. | ||

However, unless the contract was properly notarized and signed it isn't legally binding. If he was under contract but it wasn't a legally binding one (aka not properly notarized and certified) then he was free to leave. It was, essentially a Gentleman's agreement. He could have left at any time he chose to. If this is the case (and to be fair I don't know if it is) then, while underhanded, it was completely legal. This is something which actually, Sir Scoots mentioned on an episode of Live on Three but I think is completely accurate, that as esports continues to grow I think we need to start taking contracts more seriously and doing things like properly notarizing them and creating a framework by which they actually become legally binding. As long as nothing in a contract stipulates illegal conditions for either party, it does not need to be notarized to be legally binding. All signed contracts are legally binding unless there is something fundamentally wrong or illegal about the contract (i.e. someone signed it under threat of harm or while very drunk). | ||

BUT I feel like foreign teams, if they want players to keep up with koreans must think about the organisation of their team, the way their players train. Korean players are not genetically superior but still, foreign are getting owns so badly and it's due to korean teams way to work, the fact that starcraft is a part of their culcture and in a way, pretty similar to actual sports like football (not this is not soccer !).

It'll increase their competitive ability with foreign teams though, they didn't make it to the play-offs of their own Master's Cup in the most recent season, this time they might have a better chance. | ||
