The problem with backhand dealing is that other teams didn't get to throw their chips in the pot either. You're right, PuMa didn't get FMV and there's no way for us to ever determine, seeing as we don't know the value he provides to EG nor do we know what other teams would be willing to pay him. But considering TSL's recent history, I'm pretty sure PuMa's current situation with EG is a lot better than TSL (from a monetary/benefits perspective). And that's already a start. | ||

I hope that the players have fair representation in the Korean SC II Association (I'm totally unfamiliar with it -- any info, anyone?) because it looks like what Coach Lee is proposing is that the Association impose rules that would limit players' abilities to pursue the most lucrative/attractive playing contract. If the players get nothing in return for those rules, they'll have been stripped of freedom and money-making opportunities without fair compensation. I share the same concern. The good news is that unlike Starcraft, Korea does not have a monopoly on Starcraft II. There's actually more money to be had outside Korea after all. So if the Association treats players poorly, I think top talent will just move to foreign teams. | ||

The tsl coach is pissed but he's being childish since its obvoius it could happen anytime. Pay your players and have contracts and this wont happen again! | ||

I didn't say that man. When I said traditionally, I meant that other teams approach the teams first, not the players. I'm just saying it's like a custom thing to do. | ||

well, I guess they must've learned something through this. I just hope it won't become to the extreme of KeSPA where you need liscense and shit. TSL manager strikes me as someone that can bring about KeSPA II with all these whiny crap. Don't bar the gamers like KeSPA with liscense and strict contracts. give freedom but also protect yourself. teams approaching players should not be a problem if u have contracts. the player would then have to go to the coach, which he did... talking to another person about opportunities is not wrong, I don't get why thats sucha big deal. | ||

If there's going to be a Korean SC2 association, then there has to be a SC2 players union. | ||

Sigh, the human's morality nowaday... I'm sorry but having a system that is based on faith is stupid. It's admirable in a way but to get butt hurt when it doesn't work is like getting pissed if someone steals your bike if you leave it unlocked all the time. People should know better. | ||

Korean teams are going to be a lot more cautious about sending their players out west with the threat of foreign teams trying to swoop them up. Also is sounds like koreans aren't too pleased with Puma... i have a bad feeling that his skill will decline by a fair amount as long as other koreans refuse to train with him. It is sad too cause this could have been totally avoided and could have been huge happy news for EG and for ESPORTS in general but i feel that chance has been missed. no korean teams will get some lawyers and draft contracts because thats the only proper response to this | ||

If the players get nothing in return for those rules, they'll have been stripped of freedom and money-making opportunities without fair compensation. It's the coaches + players association (president is  Junwi) + GOM. Either way this certainly means players will have less freedom, how far that goes is up in the air.Edit: http://s2con.com/ | ||

You are actually right, from a Western point of view, but the fact that people are so willing to ignore the other side's point of view because they are conveniently happy with the results is a common way to reach a misunderstanding. It has been hours since this news broke out and despite many calls by people including milkis to scoots directly, they haven't said anything to defend themselves. It is directly their fault people are taking only one side. | ||

On July 22 2011 04:02 SourD wrote: I look at the situation like this. Korea SC2 scene is...new..with limited amount of funding..a lot of teams are running privately and there is no associational structure to set up basic contractual agreement between teams and players. But still, Korea has most talented players in the world. EG exploits current korean sc2 scene described above and acquires puma for free. Uh, what? If I open a new cornerstore, you can be goddamned sure every employee is going to be on a contract. Not an exact comparison because cornerstone employees are more replaceable, but the fact is that being a new business does not exempt one from requirements that are expected of more established businesses. You don't need an association to set up a contract - in fact, an association can be detrimental to contracts because it can limit the terms of the contract. Teams are more than able to set up contracts as they so desire. | ||

Maybe they'll be a bit more aware of the possibility of these signings cuz i think this case just caught them by surprise. | ||
