Jeez.

Don't use a Twitter comment as evidence of guilt.

A statement will come out by EG shortly. And when it finally does, then feel free point fingers and throw stones. Until then, just calm down.

From SirScoots via twitter

"I see esports journalism continues its fine tradition of no fact checking! Bravo! Bravo! /me rolls eyes"

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..


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!!!!


The problem is that time is actually of the essence in a situation like this. If EG takes too long to come out with the announcement, people are going to infer that they spent that extra time trying to tailor a nicer story than perhaps what the actual truth might be. EG management should know EXACTLY what happened, and, seriously, it doesn't take long to type up a couple paragraphs that would clarify everything. Certainly, it wouldn't take an hour. Half an hour, tops, if they really wanted to just clarify everything cleanly.

This.

The fact that scoots is willing to tweet about us not having the facts without giving us the facts just points more towards this being the truth..


Oh god, drop the theatrics and conspiracy bullshit.

You should also lose the tinfoil hat while your at it.


Theatrics and conspiracy bullshit? Spinning a situation to make yourself look good is a common practice. Coach Lee's reaction is enough evidence in my eyes to show that something went quite wrong with EG's acquiring of Puma.


So saying sensationalist things like Sirscoots is taking long beause he is trying to tailor a perfect story to make them like the victims and tsl like the evil doers while he opens his closet and sucks the blood of his latest victim all while Puma is sitting in a cage on the bottom of an airplane tied with shackles. Because thats basically what you and the person you quoted look like.

when in reality it could just be the fact that it is midnight and because the tweet caught everybody offguard he now has to right a proper press release?


Nah, you're the one exaggerating everything because you're feeling so defensive, or something. I actually read the first paragraph of that response to me and chuckled, because of the hypocrisy of how you're accusing me of sensationalizing when you did most of the sensationalizing with that incredibly colorful description of what I was supposedly insinuating.

When I say "spin a story", I mean simply changing subtle little details or wording it in certain ways to make things seem more favorable for the storyteller. I'm not suggesting that some crazy conspiracy is taking place here. Do you even know what "spinning a story" means? Because you seem to interpret it as "coming up with an incredible perfect lie to fool everyone like a true evil mastermind", while I'm talking about a much more subtle, down-to-earth practice, that, I repeat, many organizations undertake. It's not honest, but it fools enough people to make it justifiable. If you don't think people do that, then you're incredibly naive.

This is the beginning of the crumbling of Korean SC2 scene. Everything eventually comes down to money/funding, and Korean teams are already small in that aspect, not to mention they have to cover team house and expenses.

With FXO and TSL gone, I can envision the Korean scene being down to 1-2 teams monopolizing the whole region, much like what happened in Wc3. Those teams are the ones with all the big sponsors, and thus all the big players.

Hooray! We are one step further in killing off SC2 in Korea. Go Go Western e-sports! U S A U S A U S A!!!

I don't know what player's contracts look like or how these conversations go, but I don't really see how EG has necessarily done anything wrong.

Like in football when a team wants to draft another player, they don't go and ask the team's coach. They talk to the player's manager to sort out a deal. If there's a condition in the player's contract where the team needs to give permission for them to be released, then the manager will then sort that out with the club.

Honestly if TSL puts conditions on their contracts, like 'Cannot switch teams for X amount of months without the team's permission' then this kind of thing is no longer an issue. I'd call this the growing pains of e-sports.

But I guess it's hard to say without knowing more details on what actually went down.

Shit man, is it really that easy to steal a player by offering egregious sums of money without even talking to the team like you should?

I find it extremely shady.

If anything, this is good. Because players will eventually get offered more and more money. For morality and loyalty, not really. Now IdrA has someone good to practice with finally.

Only way this thread could grow faster is if EG bought Slayers_Eve out from under Jessica right now...
