Answer: it doesn't


Who wasnt contracted therefore who's fault is that?

I see Puma as a free agent in the sports world. He wasn't in contract nor did he have ANY obligation to TSL. Not sure why this is a big deal. If TSL took care of there players (under contract or not), Puma would never have left.

wtf, of course it matter. Western esport/player are just as relevant as koreans.

Because EG doesn't really give a crap about the Korean scene, their sponsors aren't interested in the Korean markets and it's not worth the upfront investments / time it would take to find new Korean sponsors.

Milikis wants everyone to follow the Korean style, AG wants to run his Sc2 team the way he runs all his other teams and doesn't really care about going through all the hoops to try to break into Korean market.

I don't think its exclusive to Korean culture to talk to team management before attempting to sign a player, irrespective of their contract status

Geeeeesh. He has to stop saying this is not a loaded question, when it's obviously a loaded question where he wants to get his opinion across. I think he's done it three times so far. >_<

Ahh! Love for Milkis for calling him out on it. And DjWheat is a bit obvious on his bias towards EG.

In a business sense no contract = no manager.

That kicks the bucket..

Yeah, Milkis kinda shot himself in the foot big time with that comment.


He said it in terms of the conversation. Gosh you guys are sounding like F level journalists by quoting this. No offense but he didn´t claim that the Foreign scene was unimportant as far as the whole SC2 scene is concerned.


I sound like an F level journalists simply because

- I am not one.
- English is not my first language, I might have interpret it in a wrong way, but i find he shouldn't have said that.

Puma is just greedy lol, TSL doesn't offer as much money as EG apparently.

Greedy in what way? Would you take a 3% raise, or a 6% raise at your job? You mean not stupid, then sure, he's "greedy". He wants to be compensated for his gameplay.

Yeah, sure it's good for Puma in that regard. He won't get better as a player if he practices with EG though.

because this eg guy only know how international scene works. so he approached puma like he would any other non-korean player

Oh I understand, I just think people were misunderstanding the implication behind milkis' words.

Rofl the funny thing is that Milkis DID ask EG for a statement. He asked scoots on twitter. I cant wait for milkis to let it at him?

edit: why does DJwheat continuously only cut Milkis....... I can understand AG cutting him to stop him but seriously. 2 people cutting 1 person is really annoying.

yes... YES IT IS

It's COMMON in the west to talk to free agents and not their teams.

The way I understand it they had no problem jumping thru those hoops when dealing with 3 other teams and they saw NASL finals as a chance to recruit a few other players.
