It's not only about practice partners. It's about the strict team house environment. IdrA says he practices like... 4 hours a day, which is a fraction of how much people in a Korean team house practice. If that's of any indication of EG's overall practice regime, then I don't really think Puma is going to get anywhere near as good practice with EG as he did in TSL. | ||

A very powerful, authoritative one at that apparently. Do we even know what that association does? A team like SlayerS doesn't seem to be too concerned about it | ||

Regardless, it's perfectly fine for Puma to join EG if that's what he wants. However, EG should have gone through TSL management first, not approached the player. That is unprofessional and if Sc2 had any governing body ala Kespa it would be illegal. In football clubs are fined and even docked points for acting this way. | ||

That "source" was some random guy on PlayXP. That's like me saying that Puma was under contract for 50,000 dollars a year. There's no substance there or no true source. | ||

Not to mention that I'm sure Puma's friends will still practice with him. open seasons of GSL are not the same as now.. look at idra's skill level now, still incredibly high, but he can't even be compared to the top koreans now.. even towards the end of idras time in korea the koreans were getting further and further ahead of him.. | ||

He accepted their training, took their coaching, played with their practice partners, and lived and dined in their team house on their dime. To leave suddenly without informing his team of negotiations first is still a pretty shitty thing to do. | ||

Not to mention that I'm sure Puma's friends will still practice with him. This was a long time ago and the scene has changed tremendously. Idra has *still* yet to produce any notable results for a long time now. Idra was able to keep up by playing a gigantic amount while in Korea. Now he's not doing either of those and its extremely obvious. It still doesn't change the fact that Idra is a *SINGLE PERSON* and does nothing about the bigger issue, which is the practice environment of a team house surrounded by lots of other aspiring Korean pro-gamers. Puma simply won't be able to keep up 3 months from now. | ||

We definitely shouldn't flood Puma with guilt just because he made what he considered a forward decision for himself. And he doesn't have any duty to his people, nor has he committed any degree of betrayal by doing this. He betrayed his team.... he just packed his shit up and left. Coach Lee says he feels like he raised him. Are you sure you're Korean? | ||
