I don't think they do.
For those who don't know, "semi-finals" is the equivalent to the Round-of-4.

FXO just bought a whole team, essentially. Not many people are boo-hooing that.
Trying to acquire the best players happens regularly in professional sports.
It was fOu that came up with the deal and it was too good for FXO to pass upon..

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 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?. Breaking a contract only happens if you are not released from the contract. Puma was released from his contract by request. Also, consider that a player of puma's calibur might not have even been making a salary. $0 vs a steady income. If this is the case (which it may well not be, I'll admit), do people really want to see a top player like him be denied what he deserves? Exactly. Which is why I'm asking all the EG condemners here why poaching is a bad thing (i.e. taking players w/out consulting TSL mgmt). So many pepole are saying it's bad but can someone plz tell me why it's bad? Imagine your girlfriend went on a trip, and someone just approached her and asked her to be his girlfriend, and she accepted. No contract, not married. Sure, you feel like you've been betrayed, but it's not wrong, right?
I've been betrayed by my girlfriend. The guy who approached her doesn't have to ring me and ask for my permission.. Lmao.
So, can someone plz explain to me? I seriously want to know, not just being sarcastic. I don't think I nkow the asnwer either, just waiting for an explanation from the EG-condemners.

Nice troll bait, the question at the end adds to the authenticity. Classic move, phrasing your argument in the form of a rhetorical question. In the end it's a matter of opinion and no one wins the debate.

difference is that fOu went up to FXO and asked if they would buy them out, essentially. fOu is not a rich team, they need funds. In this case, Puma was poached without TSL's knowledge until they let him go.

I think if a foreigner was picked up by a Korean team, people would be like "ZOMG HE PROVES FOREIGNERS ARE LEGIT."

Google translate showed the word Gentlemen (Puma's other ID) so yeah it's probably relating to this situation.
