This is more TSL fault then puma or EG. Does no one remember them losing two other players?

this kid plays sc2 for a living and wasn't getting paid. i'm sure other teams try and recruit but don't make deals. this is awesome for usa esports. try paying your players or we will.

Poor TSL they've been losing a lot of players lately... Rain,Fruitdealer, trickster and now puma
There is obviously a huge racial imbalance in the global starleague. Just take a look at the code s roster: Korean Korean Korean Canadian Korean...

Basically, what EG just did is something like this:

Your family allows you to go over to your friend's house for the weekends. On Sunday, your friend's parents offer you to stay at their house instead of your house, and in return gives you much more allowance than your parents give and some other benefits. Well, you take this offer, and you get home, pack your things and tell your parents you are not staying with them anymore. How exactly would your parents feel?

First of all, in business, it's ethical to approach the group instead of the individual belonging to the group if you intend to bring him over to your side.
Secondly, TSL pays their players, so obviously there has to be a certain contract.

IMO, this is quite detrimental for the relationship between Koreans and Foreigners. As someone earlier in this thread has already mentioned, Korean teams might be afraid to send their best players overseas to compete in fear of losing them.
Carrier has arrived.

great. he spends his time making a tweet instead of attempting to clarify the situation.


I got ninja-ed :D. Yeah seriously though is he like waiting for the flames to get bigger or what.


It means they'll have a statement in the morning and the flaming in this thread was pointless. More than likely.

Such a stupid response from scoots.. Really? We are only going off what we have, what more facts can we check? lmfao.. how about you give us some instead of sitting on your high-horse and thinking of anyway you can justify this horrible display of ethics and lack of respect..

No response at all would be much more professional than this trash..


you can wait to make an irrational emotion fueled post until we have more facts.

or you can spew your nonsense like you just did.

How long are we suppose to wait? We have plenty of facts right here (Puma on TSL -> Puma NASL -> Puma released -> Puma EG), and you want us to just sit here while scoots/EG make up a nice little fairytale? He just took a jab at the whole community, without clarifying anything at all..

Maybe Korean teams should start paying their players better.There are lots without salaries at all, according to Artosis.

But i mean several teams have only one player perform, what liquid player has done anything (recently) besides HuK? what oGs player besides MC. The list goes on...stop just hating on EG cause it makes you sound stupid

some people really need to see that this sets a HORRIBLE PRECEDENT for Korean teams to send their players to foreign tournaments

Puma can decide whatever he wants, but instilling fear, suspicion, and paranoia that a KR team's player might end up being poached and taken away from them with minimal ability to do anything about it other than to keep their players in Korea is not a good step for SC2 e-sports


This a thousand times over.

Why does anyone think his practice will degrade?

It doesn't say he's leaving Korea. It's normal to have many practice partners outside your team anyway, so why would he stop practising with them? Puma wouldn't get this good by just practising against Clide, FD and Trickster up to now. So he'll likely continue to practice with who he has been, maybe even including his own team.



Why would any progamer in Korea want to willingly practice "for" PuMa now that he's not even in Korea? Think about it, who's more important - people you see and talk everyday or someone who's living in completely different country?

Sure, PuMa will get to ladder vs Koreans as long as he keeps his Korean ID, but laddering is completely different than practicing.

So here's my take on it so far.

Grats to Puma. Obviously EG offered something that he was wanting that he was not able to get from TSL. It was all his choice.


We don't know that and it probably wasn't


It probably wasn't Puma's choice?

Did they kidnap his family or something?
