And the ironic thing is that I was on vacation Sunday so WoC didn't air. I didn't know what I was going to do tonight on WoC (was actually gonna bring miniWHEAT on) then I woke up to this. Perfect timing if you ask me. You're all smart about this stuff and you know it haha. But also, what's good for you and omg.tv, is good for scoots, and EG...and so the circle of life lives on  . Should be a fun show that is for sure. | ||

I can't beleive TSL is at all surprised that their TOP PLAYER WHO WAS NOT BEING PAID A SALARY left their team when he was offered one. Uh... no shit? Pay your fucking players and write out a contract if you don't want this to happen. People saying that house + food is a salary... yeah a B teamers salary lol ^motherfucking this Most people on TL are so retarded it actually makes me angry now. Everyone saw in the NASL how fucking good Puma is. I think on SoTG or another show or something artosis said before NASL how fucking good puma has been for so fucking long. Then a team that is already losing good players isn't going to pay their players decently?!! Like wtf, how are EG the "bad" guys in this. In my eyes it's more like TSL not paying a talented player like Puma and EG is like "oh come join us we would like to pay you decent money". Perhaps is TSL taking E-sports not as serious as EG. | ||

I'm soory, I know this guy is really well liked and everything, but that is just, at best naive and, at worst, incredibly stupid. E-sports is not that tiny little amateur outfit it was years ago, there's now serious money involved and big businesses getting into it and the teams involved need to grow up and start acting less like typical internet clans and more like professional sports teams. I feel for the guy in some ways because TSL has lost so many players recently and may not be around for all that long if they can't stop the bleeding, but if you're not having your players tied to some sort of deal to at least get compensation if they transfer to another team, you don't have grounds to complain when they up sticks and leave if they get a better offer from somewhere else. It would be great if all sports could operate on trust and a gentlemens agreement, but as soon as money is involved that is no longer the case and SC2 teams need to get up to speed on this pronto or this won't be the last time there's such an incident. | ||

It seems to me that you take negative feedback in any way far too personally Wheat. Chill out; don't respond etc. For the 5 people that bag your show without any constructive feedback, there are tons who are fine with it that don't say boo. I can understand the sentiment however that EG have used this to promote the 'platform' they support (your shows). There is nothing wrong with EG doing that however; in fact it is the logical place to explain their position. In saying that, I feel that you need to accept that the connection of your shows to EG may inadvertently lead people to think of them (occasionally or consistently) as EG's productions, rather than your own. As we all know, nerd chills are fine. Nerd rage isn't. | ||

Don't want to loose players, sign a contract. Otherwise they are a free agent. Look at real sports. TSL needs to stop QQ and learn the business. | ||

I hope people will realize (and I spoke intensely about this with Slasher) that I was NOT going to do the show if I could not present both sides (after a few recent happenings this seems to be the only way to be fair to all parties). Both Alex and Milkis agreed to discuss what they knew, etc. I wish everyone had this maturity level. Great job Wheat! The way things should be done. | ||

I really hope Puma doesn't regress, though. I think it'll be hard/difficult to stay in Korea after this shitstorm, so I expect he'll move into the EG house. When/if this happens, hopefully for him he knows what he is getting into. Unlike FXO that had Moonan/Slog, I believe no EG member knows any Korean. It's going to be a tough, hard road head for Puma. | ||
