First of all you don't know that Puma was in Brood War, and then you think Idra practices alot. Basically everything you're assuming is wrong, so don't go insulting other people when you're the one that hasn't got a clue. Here's some facts for you: 1. Idra states that he practices 3 hours a day normally. 2. Puma has been a constant figure in Brood War. Now you may proceed, and this time try not to look stupid. User was warned for this post | ||

EG offered Puma a contract and he accepted i dont rly see the problem :S The problem comes from Coach Lee's wording that he was "released" from the team, aka he was under a contract. If he was truly under a contract (no one knows at the moment), then it would be a very shady move on EG's part. | ||

Just because you don't understand it doesn't give you the right to bash it and say it doesn't make sense though. Maybe enlighten yourself a bit and ask how it relates? | ||

Yeah, it's definitely sad news that Puma decided to leave the way he did, but it's not really EG's fault that they decided to contact the player first just to see if he was interested. It's hard to contact coaches on the other side of the world, and if Puma was interested in EG then he'd clear things up with the Coach. Anyways, good steal from EG. You guys are awesome. Yeah, cause contacting someone through email and having it reach them almost instantaneously is SOOOO hard....EG management and other people have talked before about contacting Korean management and players through translators, you make it sound like they have to fly across the world for a 5minute conversation or somthing. | ||

Its every man for themselves, and i definitely dont fault puma for his move =)... good luck puma! TSL dying doesn't mean esports is growing. Hite Entus didn't form out of a growing BW market. | ||

Hehe, I do love the fact that people didn't quite get that the SOTG/ITG thing was technically JP's "fault". There wasn't any ill will, just contract confliction issues, which couldn't be sorted out, so inControl simply could not be a "pillar" on SOTG. That JP never completely did the contract didn't matter 4+ months in. But there were no "fouls" involved in that situation. This one, EG could have been a little more "devious", but we simply won't know until later tomorrow. | ||

My bet is that the MVP coach/manager is kind of nervous right now. I agree with you on this point but i think this arguement is quite valid. The way i see it why spend all that money to send a player overseas and then have him come home and be "screw you guys im going to join a foreign team!" If behavior like this continues then we are gonna be having players and managers unions etc. gonna be like the NFL (not quite the NCAA lol). Gonna be major discouragement for teams like prime or Startale or incredible miracle. That being said i dont think TSL is gonna last much longer anyways they must not offer much for their players cuz it seems a lot of pros are jumping ship (didnt rainbow leave recently too?) | ||

The chances of the TSL coaching staff even letting EG talk to Puma is slim to none. Puma most definitely deserves more then he got payed at TSL (assuming he got payed at all, he had zero results prior to NASL), if this is what he is happy with, then who cares how they went about it. i have NO idea where your first point about the female celebrity came from, and also those are some very bold generalizations. | ||

If you get together as a team, you will become very close. The coach is a father figure and he wanted what would make Puma happy. If Puma wanted to go and join another team then the coach would let him. This doesn't change the fact that EG is a complete joke of a team who didn't respect TSL as a team, didn't respect SC2 as a sport, didn't respect the Korean culture and they certainly don't respect Puma. The worst part is Puma had such a bright future ahead of him too. lol my korean genes are kicking in for the whole respect thing ==;; Thats certainly respectable. Team SHOULD be close. But if Puma left so easily, one could say that he lacks respect. BUT if the team is really supposed to be a family environment and the coach is supposed to be the dad, what does it say about the environment and the "dad" if theyve lost 4 of their most successful players in a matter of weeks? | ||

EPT
although it is still not the best analogy. He just means they are the "yankees of sc2" because the are essentially buying players with unparalleled funding. Or at least that is the speculation. It has nothing to do with the players themselves or their skill or anything close to that.
