It appears there's something wonky inside TSL, and the players aren't happy because of it. | ||

From what I know the TSL practice regiment isn't like other teams in korea I'm pretty sure its actually very laid back. Also EG has a team house and they are all moving into it after Anaheim. So yeah. Also he can still play on the Korean server and I'm sure Puma has friends from korea who are top notch who will still play him. | ||

Hope to win. + Show Spoiler + EG Yes, usually if you need to upgrade talent you either develop it or sign developed players. It's called standard procedure for every sport popular enough to have pro players with decent salaries. If people want esports to grow they need to accept these things. | ||

Gotta say, EG is being highly aggressive with recruiting. This is the second high profile player they've signed in the past couple of weeks. (Their fighting game division acquired Momichi, a Street Fighter legend) Is EG trying to become the NY Yankees of e-sports? | ||

On July 21 2011 16:18 Mohdoo wrote: To people defending EG/Puma here: How exactly are you thinking Puma is going to continue to grow at a rate that can keep up with other Koreans? Not a single person on EG is capable of providing Puma the type of practice he used to get where he is, and no longer being a part of a team house is going to destroy his practice habits. EG is either going to be recruiting other Koreans to form a practice house of their own, or they have no idea how the SC2 scene works right now. I really don't see how this is true. I'm pretty sure idra has gone as far in the GSL as all of the remaining TSL players. Not to mention that I'm sure Puma's friends will still practice with him. | ||

Lol, really? To quote Milkis: "Korean Netizens are quite outraged. Although one of them noted that "not surprising since it's Idra's team" 1 hour ago "Also, I'm going to fully expect the Korean SC2 Association to do something about this and make some sort of solid FA policy." 56 minutes ago "@hazelynutsc2 clear difference between american thought and korean thought and that americans are pretty disrespectful for thinking its okay" 52 minutes ago "Korean Netizens also very disappointed in Puma. Not surprised. If you're surprised then you need to understand our culture a bit better" 35 minutes ago "FYI: It's a sign of RESPECT more than anything to talk to the team before contacting the player. I'm sure TSL feels very disrespected" 33 minutes ago Helping to merge the Korean and foreigner communities, my ass dude. This set it WAYYYYY back. | ||

Idra doesn't play nearly as much and doesn't have nearly the ethic that a Korean pro-house offers. And Idra is a single player. Part of what makes Korean pro-houses so amazing is how you have like 3 players of each race to practice with, with a coach organizing the whole thing. Puma got to where he is by training 8+ hours every day with a strict training schedule and a lot of attention in helping him grow. EG can not come even close to that without recruiting at least another 3 or so Koreans to house with. Its possible that EG's players have tried to convince the EG management that they can keep up with Puma and that Puma will help them grow as players and turn into Koreans. If that's the case, props to them for managing to trick EG. | ||

They really should get rid of the jobbers, likes of Lg and Machine who aren't able to win any tournaments at all or even reach any high placements. IdrA is clearly the best player on the team, but now that iNcontroL is dedicating more time being a "player first," I'd like to see what he can do. He had some decent results. In a world with dozens of pro teams, since when is 7th or 8th a joke? Let's put things in perspective, people. | ||

All of this of course, if the allegations as I understand them are true. | ||

For instance, a company doesn't have to recycle. They're saving money by not doing so, but it's respectable for them to do it. Grabbing a player from a small business' team without any negotiation or forewarning is not something I personally see as a great thing for e-sports. E-sports is growing and it is possible for it to grow in the wrong direction with greed. It's the community's responsibility to keep "business" actions like these in check. Don't tell that to football clubs in Europe! It is so rampant and common practice to steal away youth and talent from other farm systems with the lure of money from big clubs. Yet at the end of the day, people still tune in to watch the best of the best. | ||
