Or at least that's how it is in the three cultures I grew up in: Korea, Canada and the US. While the entire truth is unknown, the TSL coach makes it clear that he feels that PuMa was poached by EG. Sure, you might see more of Puma at foreign events, but this is by no means a progressive step for foreign-Korean relationships in SC2. If anything, Korean teams will be hesitant to have their players participate in future foreign events since this all went down after NASL. Personally i don't like the term poaching. Yes it might be true that EG didn't contact TSL management first, however maybe they wanted to talk/confront the player first before the team/management played their hand to puma. This whole etiquette thing is bullshit too. At the end of the day it's the players choice. TSL clearly couldn't keep puma (matching/bettering EG's offer). It maybe seen as disrespectful to TSL but it's done ALL the time in other sports around the world. Aggressive bids for players has been around for many years and it's not EG's fault that another team goes and has a cry about their tactics to gain a player. TSL is like "OHH shit you just won a major tournament, guess we didn't figure you were worth that much". | ||

On topic, PuMa and IdrA will make SICK training partners for each other. I expect to see IdrA's TvZ improve -even more- and perhaps using some sick drop play of his own. On July 21 2011 15:01 sTsCompleted wrote: whhhatttt? waiting for the news to be "updated." For those of you who arrived late: It was just that the news had not been updated yet and all people knew was that Puma was going to EG and leaving TSL. Thus the F5, constant refresh to see the updated news. | ||

And all the countless other things that have already been posted in this thread. You are missing the point. TSL was loosing player left and right, how they would only be able to survive beacuse of Puma is just bullshit fanboys talk. They will make it or die, like in any economi. Shit just got real, Puma will do good things for EG for a long time to come, just look at their rooster now. And if we get more regulation and rules about how proffesional SC2 teams, players and tournaments should be organisated globaly it is all for the better. EG is just the first to truly test the global player market. | ||

They don't want to write a statement on TL saying "no, x happened." They want to make a press release about adding a player to their roster on their website and add it also sites like TL. These usually include pictures and interviews with the new member and staff. I'm pretty sure it doesn't "say a lot" that there hasn't been a release yet. | ||

If an another employer offered you a substantial raise to work for them, are you or this prospective employer obligated in anyway to contact you? Not really. /yourself. The lack of respect is the problem. (For me anyway) It's fine EG offered him something better, but from what i've read on here from Milkis quotes are that it's disrespectful to NOT talk to a manager/coach w/e. Which..they did not do (As far as we know...and if they did i'm sure they would have said something, which they have not) Edit: Maybe because EG is an American team and I'm from America I hold them to a higher standard on being respectful to other countries? | ||

Besides if the teams become to unstable and just buy the best players left and right, then what will be the point in being a fan of a team. I'll keep supporting Idra, Incontrol and Demuslim but the only teams that i can support are those who have faith in their lineup and recruit promising up-and-coming players that can become legacy of the team. This is more like a free-agent than buying someone out. EG needed a good terran on their team for practice partners, they are just deepening their lineup. | ||

I wouldn't read too much into it if no official statements were released until tomorrow morning.) He's made two tweets since then, he's awake and clearly aware of the shitstorm that's occurring. It would be idiotic if he's not working to do something about it. | ||

I'm pretty sure it doesn't "say a lot" that there hasn't been a release yet. Scoots would probably want to talk to Alex about it first as well to gather some facts. Whether he'd do that this late at night, I have no idea. Might not get something till tomorrow. | ||
