I don't get why people are complaining about what AG is saying, please tell me. All he is doing is telling the truth. Puma had no contract and so we took him, it is not our problem.


Because they dont understand what he is saying so they say things like "hes using long words to confused pple"

People have been complaining about EG and Alex the whole thread and most of the complaining is baseless.


Thanks, I am not trying to be cynical but AG and Wheat know how the business works and some of the community (including Milkis) are not quite sure how this works.
EDIT: That sounds cynical but I don't know how to reword what I just said.

Milkis calling it like it is and then DJwheat cuts him...... wtf. That was messed up. He never bothered cutting AG throughout his 40minute rants but decides to cut milkis in his 2-3min rant?

I think talk shows are a little above your league. Spongebob might be on TV.

its not a talk show if someone is having a monologue.


AG is very good at getting his points across and he is free to talk about his points as long as he gets time for it. Every thing he says is very informative but some people only tuned in to hear AG tell how he hates Lee or something.



Well djwheat could try to moderate it a bit in order to level field at least to a certain degree.

I think this is what Milkis is trying to say. In Korea, not many teams do this kind of thing while EG have done this many times before.

I think that saying the KeSPA model could work for the rest of the world is very inaccurate and naive at this point in time. And let's not forget that while KeSPA did some good, they weren't exactly a saintly organization. Or have we all forgotten?

All I have taken from this thread is this.

People Hate when other people get the CHANCE OF A LIFETIME.

this Kid may MAY have done ok even gone to code s after what 4-5 months. when this other company comes a long and says "hey we will pay you to travel all over the world and play in TONS of different tourneys, your young enjoy life and we will bankroll that". Outside of Korea this kid will live the fucking dream. if you were 19 and played with friends and a guy gave you the same deal but you had to leave your friends for a couple years, you would be a idiot for not taking that.

Poor Puma for having fun.

Nobody hates or anything. They just don't like this move at all. Just like you grow your best student and he'd be taken away on his first day outside the country. Feel like betrayal you know.

If djWHEAT did his job as a journalist there is one question that must be asked:

If EG's intention was to grow in Korea, was it not a massive oversight not to actually make the effort to contact TSL before PuMa talked to his coach? If you want to grow infrastructure in Korea, to access that playerbase and to make contacts as AG has stated repeatedly, do you not think that what you did is counter-productive to this concern?

Honestly, I do not blame EG in this matter at all. But this is full of empty words.

I"m conflicted on how I should view puma. On one hand he has every motivation to do everything to further his career in the most meaningful way. One the other hand it seems as though TSL was good to puma and now that he "has it made" he is done with what was a stepping stone of a team.


I used my first 30k/yr job as a stepping stone as well.

Why does the Korea scene matter? Their players are pretty good, but their business sense sucks.

I'm talking about djwheat only disrupt Milkis and I've never heard of him disrupting AG while he rants.

I totally agree. And I also think that putting someone so well spoken as AG against Milkis was a bit of a miss.

In all honesty, the international scene can't handle buying Korean players at the moment. How many teams have running pro houses? How many international teams have the practice partners/teammates to make the players better?

You can't just buy top Koreans and act like they won't get eclipsed in six months by new Koreans who practice in a better infrastructure with better coaching, teammates and ladder server.

Any who's fault is that? They know by Rain, foU, and Oz that Korean players are subject to foreign interest.
