Puma hasnt actually signed with EG yet. And Alex Garfield doesn't feel he has done anything wrong.

Then a lot of stuff about future of esports and the relationship between Korea and the western world.

Alex Garfield seems kind of like a greedy businessman PoS. Watching WoC and he keeps saying how he feels he did things morally/ethically/legally/culturally alright. I don't understand how he is saying that straight faced.

Just because a player isn't under contract doesn't mean you should treat him totally differently in this situation. TSL is probably treating him as best they can, and since he isn't under a contract with them he decides to poach Puma off their team. He himself said he never contacted TSL, how can he justify his actions and say there is (absolutely)no problem with what he did?

have you even been listening? he NEVER said there was no intention to recruit him, why clearly said he handed him a card and let him knew that they were looking to support a few korean players

post like yours just spread more misinformation

I suppose thats the problem.

EG has better businessmen. That seems to be the problem others have.

Totally not what he said. He was clear from the beginning that he was trying to recruit him. Just saying he wasn't trying to sign him during NASL. Big difference.

It's the forum complainers that start the drama shit, not EG.


But why EG. It's almost seems to be them for years now.



Because people who have no place in the discussion like to give their input on teams business practices they disagree with.


Yeah EG is so unlucky because the shit keeps getting started on them huh?

No.

Ya I can only hear him talk for about 10 minutes maximum before I have to turn it off to save my sanity. I got the general gist of his story, so I'm done here.

EG has the money to buy out players they want.

Fans of certain teams rage about it when it's the players/teams decision to accept the offer.

Pls listen, they spend hours to securing the budget for a player LIKE puma.


Please understand this is just PR and spinning the right story with the right words. He is intentionally wording it like that so the two previous posters that pointed out my inabilities will accept his words at face value.

It's like you latched on to one sentence that was spoken and ignored everything else. Puma himself told EG that instead of contacting TSL, EG should let Puma talk to coach Lee.

In retrospect, EG probably should have contacted TSL anyways, but you'd think that the player from Korea would know the proprieties that are involved. So mistakes are both sides.
