For example, I have no problem talking to players (let's say DIMAGA) and saying "hey I'm wondering if you'd be interested in joining Fnatic." But knowing that he's a player on a team, that's really where the conversation needs to end. Anything further becomes a disrespect to the actual team and the whole idea of esports. Exactly this. I have no problem with whoever went up to Puma and asked him "would you like to join EG". It's when they clearly already have a contract set up before even telling TSL that it becomes shady. As for the people asking if they should have talked to TSL sarcastically, yeah they should have. Professional businesses do this and it works out fine. If they can beat out TSL's offer and get Puma, fine. Not giving TSL a chance to talk to Puma until the deal is done is super shady. | ||

Thanks for posting, I was looking for a viewpoint from someone within an e-sports team, this situation is getting really odd. | ||

Double slap in EG's face by two respectable foreign team managers. | ||

The only people not applauding it are owners of teams and the unfortunate souls who have bought into the nonsense that cartel agreements between exploitative organizations = ethics. | ||

That player then takes it, (apparently) betraying his team and coach. Why is this an argument between EG's side and TSL's side instead of an argument between Puma's side and TSL's side? THIS and nothing else! I don't really like Clide(as a player obv.) that much but he is right. It's dirty cash. PuMa betrayed those that helped him develop to what he is now. | ||

Sure he's with Alex working out a nice PR side to what they did. | ||

It's talbuk and co. who are putting on 'the theatrics and conspiracy bullshit' claiming that there are facts we dont know which put EG in the right here.. i'm not claiming there are more facts, im as clueless as all of us, but one fact remains, and that is we are all clueless, wait and rest until we get some more hard facts. | ||

I agree. It could have been different also, like "Hey man, you are good. If you ever want to leave your team give us a call." Then Puma sits around, thinks, and says "Hmm...maybe they can..", he gives them a call and says "What can you give me?" It could have totally been something casual like this. I think until more details come out, everyone needs to settle down some. | ||
