The only reason why people are siding with Milkis is because they don't understand Business or anything about the international market.

What contract? Puma didn't have one.

If the translations is accurate he can say whatever he likes about it. You know like any of us.

But to be fair, when Milkis then continues on to say things like "if you don't understand why this is such a big deal, then you just don't understand Korean culture" in a pretty condescending manner. It's obvious that Milkis was very biased in how he carried out the whole thing.


Yup -_- and it's really not his place to be this middleman imho. These are businesses and it's not for shits and giggles.

I think people need to realize that was is the best for esports isnt necessarily the best for a specific player. For example MC, he travels to a shit ton of tournaments and he wins a lot of them and we get to see awesome games and esports gets better etc etc. On the other hand, he loses practice and he even stated quite recently that he wants to practice more because he felt that he wasnt playing as good as he could.

I think that letting the indivudal player evolve is the most important part because it will bring good games and by the great games let esports develop by itself. If we were to force esports to grow we could actually be hurting it... What would be optimal for the scene would be if the major spotlight (where all the tournaments happen and where we see games) was easily accessable for the top competition easily. Kind of how it is in BW, so I think Milkies was a making a good point, but what that "utopia" lacks is foreign attention.

So honestly I dont how we should solve this, I just hope we can organize it in a way that allows players to evolve as efficently as possible...


Cheers~

EG could and can post something on TL, on twitter, on their website, what does this have to do with Milkis? I can't wait to read EG's first release, saying that they picked up Puma, and a second one regretting all this collateral damage.

DJ Wheat entirely on point.

You wonder why he was sided with AG? Because it seems pretty right.

And obviously EG could have said more or done something more extensive.

Or the fact it was an unfair debate and there was uncalled for personal attacks/passive aggression and needless spin.

I don't even know what to say.

Here is your news ladies and gentlemen, TEAMLIQUID IS RUINING ESPORTS.

Dont say stuff like that without putting any argumentation behind it.

I can say "Everyone who sides with EG are fucking retarded!" but I dont, cus that´s stupid to say.

You know, maybe something like half of this thread is now being generated by people who didnt listen to the story at all. -.- It really feels like telephone now.

I didn't hear the first half, so I can't judge, but i think by any measure, calling DJWheat a "shithead" [saw it like two pages ago] is out of line.

You can't be mad at Alex because he wants his organization to succeed; and he probably doesn't like the fact that Milkis was reporting negatively about his organization. On the other hand, Milkis is a translator, but still a broadcaster of news. He has every right to deliver every story. However, both should realize that they are going to get shit for what they do. Businesses take shit, news sources get shit- all people should remember is that tons of people feel safe attacking behind the anonymity of a username.

DJWheat is getting serious now- and I agree. The crux of the entire debate is how bad it was to go around TSL the team to go for Puma.

Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Kind of weird to bring on a translator as the counter to the ceo of EG. He's just a fucking translator!?!

It might damage TSl but it is fucking awesome for PUMA.

He deserves to/ earn a decent salary and he wasnt getting that from TSL.

So many people here will hang on ONE word or ONE phrase and not understand the general idea the person is talking about, and will rant for 250 pages about how "right" they are.

Who cares if they cut milkis off because he doesn't have a fucking argument. If he's basic argument is that EG was disrespectiful, then FINE, just say that and the topic is done. If his argument is that this is bad for the scene and for the players, then I have NO idea when or how he made that point. His argument is : feel sad for Coach Lee because.... I mean you can't do this because this is always how we've done this.

Whereas AG is trying to grow the entire esport scene as a whole and not make in a "korean" scene. He is afraid that all the korean organizations will band together and make it even more difficult for foreign teams to get involved and trade players, which is totally understandable given how KESPA currently operates.

I love Milkis, and his translations. But as an SC2 fan and teamliquid member, I just don't know why you are all upset and taking his side. What IS his side? I love SC2 more than coach lee. I love sc2 more than being 100% proper in every conceivable player negotiation.

'This community is pretty bad these days.

At least their opinions don't matter in the grand scheme of things and they will still put their money into tourneys no matter how hard they rage in threads.
