against NA only players.

so Idra proved he was the best NA player for one tournament, but it is very well known that EU and KR are much better than NA in terms of player pool.

If this thread was about IM buying out TLO from Liquid' I can assure you this thread would look very different...

I've lost quite a bit of respect for EG.

@hazelynutsc2 I don't think Puma will be welcomed back tbh judging by the responses, not for a while :O


Good luck getting practice partners, Puma. Ugh.

Without derailing this, that won't be a problem for a skilled player. sAviOr still has people willing to scrim with him, after doing far worse than what Puma is alleged to have done (if someone were at fault here, besides TSL, which I doubt, it would be EG, and the last person to have done something wrong would be Puma).

startale also offered dimaga a contract when he was in korea. He refused.
I dont think startale approached mtw's management back them. How come nobody was furious about that? Its no different, just that the deal didnt work out.



..because it could have been the same type of contract that Torch got? You know, the one that only stipulates that he needs to represent ST in Korea, but VT Gaming outside. It was basically the same type of thing SK is doing.

This is totally different.


You just speculating you got no idea what kind of contract, Startale offered Dimaga. Its the same thing, Dimaga just happend to turn it down.

The fact of the matter is if you dont got binding contract for you players other teams got every right to talk to the players if they wish to sign them. It would be stupide not to in a business world.

OMG... Did anyone elses brain blow up with the prospect of Puma and Idra being on the same team aswell?

With those two, along with incontrol and a bit of improvement from Demuslim and Machine, this team could own the GSTL!

No. The only player that would be able to compete in the GSTL on that team is Puma. Korea is on a different level to the rest of the players.

I'm asian. And from our view, Puma has no respect or dignity or class at the very least.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

People still seem to think that Puma will benefit from this. Please tell me how. Sure, he will travel a lot of foreigner events and get a lot of money FOR A SHORT TIME. He can live off being amazing and talented for a few months now but after that he´s gonna dissappear as long as EG doesnt get him some good practice, which they cant if they dont put him in a korean house.

The fact that he´s a good player and that you guys are all happy EG picked him up isnt cus he´s korean, it´s cus hes gotten korean training, something he´ll lose now...

This. This. This.


Korea doesn't have something in the tap water and Koreans are not genetically modified to be good at Starcraft.

EG is already installing a team house and they will practice a lot. Saying Puma will disappaer because foreigners can't practice is nothing but blatant elitism.

They weren't exactly professional the last time either when EG made the "headlines" with the idra/cruncher -bullcrap.

LOL


I think iS will actually do better at MLG than EG, so...

One of iS's players doesn't use hotkeys lolololol, he hotkeys his Nexus to like 5 and that's it for the entire game. One time I saw him hotkey 2 Robos to 4 though.


lol what one

Well done EG. Maybe it wasn’t the best way to do it, but I liked the mixed teams we had in wc3 and not this parallel existence of Koreans and everyone else, which only meets once a year at WCG.

EG is getting 10x the hate that Puma is it seems. The blame lies with both of them equally doesn't it? Or is it all EG's fault for tempting him? :p
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Wow. That is sooo crazy awesome. Great pickup from EG, this is the kick they need to start winning some tournaments. I'm super curious where Puma will be located (NA/KR).

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.


You can steal cars. You can't steal people. Because they are not property.

Stop calling it theft, for fuck's sake.

Breaking contract=poaching players. And even then you're still nitpicking over a word, not arguing against the idea itself.

Except no contract was broken
