The way it was presented is from the TSL point of view, which makes everybody want to flame EG for "Stealing" Puma, which is a fucking joke. Well done EG, foreigners - STEP UP YOU'RE GAME | ||

A bigger company went behind my company's back and poached our employee. It's shady and it's not something a respectable company should do. It's a real snaky corporate America move. To add, I think the problem is TSL never seemed to have a chance to offer Puma a counter deal to stay (probably would have). | ||

That being said, it is absolutely awesome that a player as good as PUMA is joining a foreigner team! Not only EG will benefit from it, but it also opens doors to a more dynamic trade of players between korea and abroad | ||

Still dont get the EG haters... Seriously, inalmost every sport its like this: Team talks to player -> player talks to his own team -> teams agree on transfer fee -> player changes teams - usually we just dont hear about the "team approches player" state, cuz nobody cares/its normal. But maybe it's not like this in the American sport leagues - and maybe it's not like that in Korea, so it's knid of normal that TSL doesnt understand this + posts their thoughts. Cultural differences, its that easy. In most cases you can't poach players cause they're under contract, and the teams go to each other and work out trades, team to team, which is why asking puma directly and only telling the TSL management after an agreement has been made is so shady. | ||

If Puma was talked to and agreed with EG about joining up then so be it. They will pay him more for his work...

Well done EG, foreigners - STEP UP YOU'RE GAME uhhhh...dude most progamers are under actual binding contracts, which is why TSL had to "Release" Puma. Learn your facts before you use them to build arguments that make no sense. | ||

Do you guys really think EG stole him? does that even make sense? EG made an offer and TSL couldnt match it. TSL is falling apart, they lost 4 of their top players, all within a few weeks. Rain, Trickster, FD, and now Puma. Something is wrong and dysfunctional with that team and I wouldn't be surprised if they disband soon. | ||

Thirdly, Puma, I know money is great, but you just got 50k USD, and at the very least you could, y'know, wait until your contract expired? Goddammit, what the hell is wrong with having a little professionalism in SC2? Everything this man just wrote. EG must be one of the most unprofessional teams there is. And I'm pretty sure that Puma will get bored when Incontrol, Idra and machine are "hitting the gym" - While Puma acctualy wants to improve in sc2. | ||

I was beginning to wonder if agents would ever be involved in e-sports. You people need to stop being butt hurt over something that's not a big deal. If Puma left to join EG it's probably because they're going to accommodate him better than TSL is. Which is what he deserves for being a great player. So now you guys don't care that it's better for the individuals training if it's worse for a team? lulz. You see, the coach IS the agent. | ||

Is this supposed to be clever or something? Get real. Whoooosh! + Show Spoiler + Artosis is in love with clide, he was making a joke on this information. I thought it was funny. | ||
