It's like you have a obsession or something. Stop changing the topic, this is about puma. You should read further down the quote chain before you accuse me of changing the topic. | ||

I do not know for sure, but that is a distinct possibility and the person who I was quoting and many of the other people here are not taking that into consideration, or don't even know that Korean teams have contracts. Everything I've read says the mgnt let Puma go, and hence no breach of contract. Do you possess information that implies, or says, otherwise? | ||

I know Prime has a chicken deal, which doesn't seem big to us but is like a major endorsment deal in Korea, and even then I'd prefer a mainstream company to sponser me than a niche gaming one like Razer/Steelseries (not that there's anything wrong with them, just seem like comparatively smaller fish) I disagree. being a korean, i follow korean SC2 scene alot. there is no mainstream sponsors as of now. (maybe intel on slayers? not sure) SC1 on the other hand, does have major sponsors backing them, making them very stable. Korea SC2 is very small at the moment and alot of teams are having hard time financially to keep them in one piece ( look at fOu team) in order to have stable SC2 scene in korea, there needs to be major companies backing them(samsung, korean air, shinhan bank..etc.) btw, Prime team's main sponsor, sabasaba chicken, did not renew their sponsorship after they expired and now Prime team is also without a sponsorship. | ||

In all seriousness, this does make Puma and EG look a bit bad but regardless, best of luck to them. Also, I hope TSL can get it back together and come back stronger even without Puma, FD and Trickster. | ||

And it's well-documented that Korean training is what's needed to stay at the top. But you need good players for a team house to work. (Or a good server [Korean]) EG has neither. | ||

Personally, I do not watch SC2 or eSports to root for a take-no-prisoners type of a company, I watch it to root for a team. EG with its decisions has shown to me on a couple of occasions that it is foremost a company, which for me personally reflects badly on the team and their players. | ||

It's good news for EG no doubt but I am curious about how much this affects TSL as a team. | ||

Sure they may cash in some money now but in the end they will fall behind BIG TIME because their training won't be anything compared to the players and teams who still plays GSL and practice there. It looks even worse for PuMa now when he seems to get alot of shit from players in Korea. Pitty. More speculation but I have to wonder if foreign Sc2 scene will be as huge 5 or 10 years from now...we seem to drop/change through games further and maybe by the time all teh expansions have been out for awhile there won't be 50k prizes anymore and SK will be the place to be, except now they'll all be out of practice. Who knows, I certainly hope that doesn't happen but I'd consider the GSL to be far more stable than an NASL or even MLG, who has been known to drop unpopular games. | ||

Puma MAY have not honored his contract by forcing his way out, which would be bad, but we don't know that. It could have been a contract that allowed termination from either side at any time - some contracts are like that. | ||
