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). Well I think we can safely assume that Clide won't be helping out PuMa anytime soon ... | ||

Holding off judgement until EG makes a statement. It's a great pickup by them, and it does look like TSL is falling apart as a team.

Well no other foreigners have any "better" results except for possibly huk and arguably Jinro (who I think has equal with Idra). Just saying for someone with "no" results what have other foreigners done in major tournaments? | ||

If I was aware of how the TSL manager received this/in what manner, and since Puma moved out yesterday I would assume he did, and knowing that Koreans work on different time and this is Korean business hours, I would have damage control PR ready, yeah. Even if he doesn't think he did anything shady (and I doubt he does), I would at least be aware that some people might interpret this the wrong way and have something ready. | ||

Elaborate, and then provide evidence for these assertions. You have such little information in your brain about the incident but you come to such conclusions somehow?. | ||

We at EG are proud to announce: Machine has received his Necron army in the mail. Gz to machine tho. Wow, I didn't know machine plays 40k. The man is a true Renaissance Nerd. Also: the TSL coach may have a bit of a point. It may be good for e-sports, on an international level, to adopt some standards and rules for swapping players. Most professional sports teams have ways to deal with it. However, I think the more the foreign scene and Korean scene intermix, the better. | ||

I would think it's both, PuMa could have just said no. Blame lies with both of the equally! | ||

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. Who is he going to practice with? Machine and LZ? I love EG man, Im a fan but Puma needs better practice partners than that to stay on the top. Also, foreigners training-schedules are a joke compared to korean, it´s that simple. | ||

Actually, I blame them both equally. I'll wait until EG releases a statement until I make my final judgment (not that anyone will care  ), but it does take two to tango. | ||

I hope it was just something like puma not being a salaried player and as such not being contractually bound to the team. Surprisingly there wasnt a similar reaction when fd and trickster left tsl. | ||
