All of you guys are fucking retarded.

EG did nothing wrong. They went to the player, who the ultimate decision belongs to, and sent him an offer. He thought about it, he talked to his coach about it, he accepted it.

Get off your high horse and stop all of the crying.

Legally EG did nothing wrong, but in a moral-driven Korean esports business, EG did everything wrong.

ITT: A bunch of people who have no idea what playing for TSL was like and have no idea exactly how their team was structured crying over a great sc2 player pursuing a life oppurtunity that he obviously feels was a better direction to go in. In fact, they are more concerned about some COACH's feelings than the players. Seriously, the COACH...what has he won again? So pathetic.

Lol that's a retarded view. So apparently the ONLY people who deserve to be treated fairly in the esports business are the players? Let's just forget the hundreds/thousands of people that work tirelessly behind the scenes to help and support esports. Coach Lee gave his time to help the players of TSL become who they are.

This is made more hilarious because of that "korean values" talk, the korean business practices are some of the most corrupt in the entire world. This is all about a bad manager butthurt because his team is falling apart.

Can't control peoples opinions. EG did the best for EG. Puma did the best for Puma. If TSL did the best for TSL, this thread never exists.

I don't think you understand the purpose of marketing....

This. I love how so many TL-ers think that their opinion actually matters.

Why are people mad that the TSL coach wasn't contacted? Is it really the tradition in Korea that you're supposed to ask somebody's current boss permission to hire that person?

It is certainly not this way in the west...

Of course if Puma is violating some contract then there's a legal issue, but nobody seems to be accusing anybody of breach of contract. Why all the rage?

Assuming we know everything there is to know:

Of course EG has the 'right' to do this. However I dont think its respectful towards TSL to approach a player directly. As mentioned, in professional sports moves like this are forbiden outside of the transfer window for obvious reasons. If we want eSPORTS to grow and especially become more professional, moves like this shouldn't be tolerated in my opinion.

In the real world, you don't offer a person's job to the person's boss, you offer it to the person, then it is THEIR DECISSION weather they accept. This was the case here.


Without TSL, he wouldn't have a practice house

Without TSL, he wouldn't have a salary

Without TSL he wouldn't have gotten to show how good he is in the team league.

Without TSL, he wouldn't have convenient practice partners to play with. (oh please don't list that koreans practice with ppl from other teams, they were all people who have been eliminated from the gsl, if they were still in the gsl they would have been too busy to practice from someone from another team)

Without a team, he could have not entered the NASL open tournament

Without TSL, he would have never gotten a plane ticket


Without TSL, Puma would be a fucking nobody.

So puma can just leave cause he is a sell out with lack of respect?
And you people can't see anything wrong with that?


by your logic you should stay at your own home and be a servant to your parents. or work forever at your entry level job.

seems like we're all fucking sellouts with no respect.


No i agree with you, i was wrong, it's not like a pro gamer is any different from a "real job", both of them you live with your co workers, you interact with them all day, they are your friends... Oh wait....


You are seriously stupid and naive. You must be really young or something. Anyone whose friend left their identical job for an upgrade would understand. It's seriously standard practice. If Puma was on a team before TSL (not sure if he was or wasn't), then by your logic he shouldn't have left that team.

You say Puma wouldn't be who he is today without TSL.

Well, Puma also wouldn't be who he is today if he didn't leave those behind that aren't in his best interest to move up.

Hmm? I think Idra's a fantastic player, the quote I was responding to was talking about publicity and I was saying that any publicity is good publicity, IdrA is imo THE BEST example of that in e-sports. He gets a lot a views for some of his less well mannered antics, and from there generates both fans and anti-fans, all of which help EG.
