This is a very strong point that absolutely has not been made before.

This was expected. You see a loophole. You close it.

Milkis may be called a translator but when he acts as a reporter he's a reporter. He's a journalist. FACT. If you're a basketball player, but you go play football, you're a fucking football player too.

Get that through your thick head.

The insults and overall attitude are pretty uncalled for and it's already been explained why he's not a reporter and why he isn't to be held to the same journalistic standards. If you want to fault anyone, fault whoever originally released the information (and no it wasn't Milkis). Milkis just translated an article and linked us to the source he translated. He never represented anything else in the OP apart from the article that he posted. The response by Coach Lee was a later addition when it was released and I'm sure when EG provides a written response, the OP will be edited to include that as well.

The problem right now is the fact that there is in fact no written response from EG and therefore no "Other side of the story." to tell despite the fact that EG is clearly aware of the situation. Instead of ranting on Weapon of Choice, they should have just had someone from their staff write a response either on this thread, the source thread, or their website so it could be quoted. It isn't Milkis' job to go fact checking while translating an article nor is it his responsibility to run any form of damage control on EG's behalf either by sitting on already public information or speaking on their behalf.


From EG's standpoint. There is a logic reason for not commenting. Puma hasn't signed the dotted line as of yet, so until the deal is finalized they have nothing to comment.

During Weapon of Choice, Alex made it sound like he wished milkis tried to get a statement from EG...
Thats not how you go about trying to get a statement.


You don't think what milkis wrote implied that he was wanting information from EG regarding the situation? Milkis said he was on the edge of his seat, which means he really, really wants to hear something. Give me a break man, you're grasping at straws. It changes nothing about the fact that Alex KNEW about that Tweet and that he chose to lie to all of us hoping we'd be none the wiser. I can't believe that you guys are defending someone who was willing to lie to you. He tried to make you think milkis didn't contact EG. He knew he did. That is just so dishonest and underhanded..

sorry korean culture of respect, welcome to the real world of shady business and money. Esports is big enough to need contracts and for players to want salaries. This is exactly the kind of stuff that all of us had been waiting out of Esports.

Keep it up EG, forever a fan

Actually Milkis was the one who released the information to TL.net without getting a statement from EG.
