I mean either the coach is willing to let Puma go or he knows he has no choice in the matter. Either way i don't see how Coach Lee should whine about what clearly was his fault in the first place. Also, why isnt EG's position on this in the OP as well. Why am i getting one sided views from the Korean side? | ||

Ideally you'd want Coach Lee on the show but due to the language barriers i'd imagine it would have been a recipe for disaster, especially on such short notice as the story isn't even 1 day old. He was probably the only guy wheat could get on the show at this time that could explain the korean point of view. But he was clearly outmatched in this debate. | ||

The way I see it: 1. TSL provided PUMA the opportunity to become awesome (housing, food, training, etc...) 2. PUMA becomes awesome thanks to TSL >>>>PUMA being awesome can bring in TSL money via +SPONSORS for TSL 4. EG pulled of a NINJA move on STEALS the opportunity from TSL. + for PUMA ++ for EG - - for TSL Who loss and gained?? No shit TSL is mad. They got robbed of step 3. | ||

The thing is those "rules" between korean teams are ignorant. It's in the best interest of the players if they are free to go if they haven't signed a contract. If not teams could just refuse to let their players go and treat them poorly. EG could offer more to the player than TSL and Puma wasn't signed so he was free to go. If he was bound by some unwritten rule that he couldn't leave that would have been bad for the player as it takes away opportunities from him. Contracting you players is necessary in any where money is involved and SC2 is no different. You can't just bind your players with unwritten rules and expect them to stay with you even tho there are parties that offer more to them. That is just arrogant imo. Also calling this a "ninja steal" is out of tune with reality. Do you really expect every team to not offer your players a contract because they are already with a team? You can't blame EG for doing that as they are only offering to support a player. It's in the best interest of the players that they get offers as this gives them a choice and will force teams to compete for players which will improve the support they will get. | ||

I still can't decide if it's ok for a player to break the news to his coach/team as opposed to the competing team doing it. I mean, Puma has been around the block and knows how things work so if I was in EG's shoes and he told me he would take care of it and talk to his coach then I probably would have done the same thing and let him do that. IF the news came back that the talk did not go well, I would have immediately called Lee. From what AG said though, Puma said the talk(s) went well. Although maybe even at that point it's a good idea to talk to Lee, but I don't know if there was even time for this to happen as it seems Lee went immediately to the 'press'. It's easy in retrospect to know what to do but following the timeline as it actually happened makes things a little blurry. | ||

This isn't that big, but there was certainly misinformation involved, that Puma was already signed (he isn't). TL in general prides itself on the quality of it's posts, something it has control over due to the moderation of the forum and rumors without fact checking or seeking statements should be the basis of a quality post about breaking news. The quality control mechanisms of TL have given us thousands of successful translations. If there was confusion about the Puma situation, it's a small price for such quick translation for the community. | ||

Well, that, and the show was at 8am Seoul time. Imagine getting a call from DJWheat at 4-5am in the morning to come on the show. | ||

I agree, and I said I never said I had a problem with that. I have a problem with people thinking there is something wrong with recruiting employees of other companies. There is nothing wrong with that, it is good for the employees, and any protections that prevent that only hurt the employees. Contracts that limit an employees ability to move to another company are illegal in many parts of the US, and are ridiculous practices. | ||

Jesus this isn't some kind of typical job, this is their dream, to be a progamer. And if they are worried about "having nothing to fall back on" then don't become a progamer and go get a normal job. | ||

Buisness-wise it is understandable. Ethically it is way less, especially if you take into account the cultural problem, and they should have taked it into account if they wanted to be respectful. I can understand that koreans are not happy about it. | ||

Namely, the fact that Puma still hasn't signed and that AG is seeking to talk to Coach Lee. | ||
