This is sad.
I really feel for TSL to be honest.

What happend to contracts? ;O
Players swapping teams everyday it seems.

Fun for puma I guess even if he joined a way worse team, guess he gets to go to foreign tournaments more.


Edit: Korean teams will soon stop sending players to foreign tournaments, sc2 goes divided like sc1.

The coach must feel betrayed hardcore, puma just lost my respect if the coach tells the truth.

Just realized, the EG team house (which isn't a rumor, btw, it's very confirmed) is going for the "full Korean experience", right down to importing Koreans.

Quite a bummer for TSL considering they have lost quite a few players recently. This acquisition is a great bolster for the EG roster.

I am curious to know where Puma will train though. Does this mean that he will be coming over to train at the EG house or will he remain in Korea? If he is staying in Korea I think that's a little unfortunate considering he will no longer have a "team" house to practice at.

Really curious why everyone is ditching TSL. I can imagine the TSL managers/coaches are unhappy with EG bypassing them and going straight to the players but there's got to be a pretty good reason behind everyone jumping ship.
Hopefully EG will fit Puma's needs.

Lol foreign team leagues are going to look so funny if they adopt winner's league format. Matches will pretty much be decided by token korean vs token korean. Guess EG will be on top for a while.
I could spend a while with that smile

From what I've gathered from a few posts in this thread a team can only be classed as going well if they're consistently winning the biggest tournaments and have several players at their peak. So to answer your question, every team is garbage.

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..


God forbid we wait more than an hour and a half (with the story breaking at 11:00PM PDT) for the other half of the story, WE HAVE FACTS!!!!

In football they do it thru agents and the teams often are the last people to know that a player has been approached.


On the contrary; teams must give their ok for an approaching team to be allowed to even talk to the player, before -anything- else.

There are so many wrong comparisons to other sports in this thread, it's unbelivable. Stop it.

Related to the topic: Well, we all know that EG is the BM team #1 in SC2, but I am really, really disappointed in Puma. Hope he meets DRG in the next Code A qualifier.


EL OH EL "we all know that EG is the BM team #1 in SC2" hahahaha, won't agree or disagree with you as it seems to be a solid argument all of us should just accept, but I'm pretty sure at least Sirscoots would have a word or two about that lol


Well, I'm getting tired of watching lots of kids just hate or even dare to give any judgement without even waiting for EG's official statement about this. And also I'm getting kinda sick about the Chelsea or Yankees shit, cut it off guys and grow tf up! ProGamers can't just make a living of good wishes and love!


Related to the topic: Hope Puma meets DRG and beats him, or even better (cuz I love ESports) would like to have Both of them hwaiting in Code S !!

Puma had left the TSL house as of the 20th.


What? Are you serious? Does no one see this but me?

There has always been "a system to stop foreign teams from stealing players," its called "paying them." Puma wouldn't have made such a drastic change for nickles and dimes, EG obviously offered a substantial amount over whatever TSL gave him, if anything. I hope this opens up Korean teams eyes and force them to treat their players better.



LOL how naive. This is a matter of ethics. You guys talk about how this is business works, but let me tell you; business without proper ethics doesn't survive long (proof is out there). Business is all about building good relationships with potential partners / customers. And that's why you have to have good ethical understanding in order to grow your business. One of the top agenda for almost all good businesses is providing continous training in ethics to all of their employees, period. It's THAT important.

EG's move could have been very legal, but it was totally wrong in ethical standpoint. That's why many on here are pissed.


Well said. Very true! However, because the sc2 scene is relatively new, lots of work needs to be done before we reach a place where rules and ethics are firmly established.

He's better off living alone in Korea than using the EG team house. A few dudes who don't take the game nearly as seriously as him, who are worse than who he'd face on ladder...Not a good deal for him.

Holy shit, nearly 60 pages of posts in just over an hour and a half. (Contrast this with the thread for STX putting up their entire team for trading getting less than 30 pages over more than a day.)
