In Australia we say "Try-Line Fever" ... this is like $$$$$$ in Pumas eyes pretty much.

I hope people appreciate the way FXO operates, especially after seeing these shaddy moves by EG and SK.


If people put FXO in the likes of EG and SK, then they are idiots. The difference is that FXO picks up teamless players and they picked up a whole team instead of taking 1 player from their team.

I always feel EG has this sketchy vibe about whatever they seem to be doing. Nowhere do I recall something went 100% smoothly and from a team I like, that just pisses me off. They just want to strong-arm complete and utter control over sc2 esports.

Poor TSL, so many players leaving the team Will wait for an official statement from EG to decide how I feel about this though.

Why is it EG's fault for recruiting him and not TSL's fault for not being able to compete with another team's offer?

Obviously EG did this a bit scumbag-like but still it's TSL's fault for not having a buy-out clause.

Barca would have Fabregas by now too.

Good for EG though. On another note, EG is such a crappy name for a team though.

What on earth is "sleazy" about talking to a player about possibly recruiting them?

If anything is sleazy here it's TSL throwing a hissy fit and releasing Puma. Unless Puma actually made a deal with EG already.

I understand that this forum is rampant with "Korea > all" mentality, but why on earth are people supporting "Korean e-sports etiquette" that basically treats players as chattel slaves to their management?

This, imo, is a great point and I agree. Also, apparently someone just mentioned that Artosis was talking about Koreans being sucked into wageless contracts? If so, people should be less quick to defend such practices.

The korean interview stated clearly in coach lee's words that EG did not talk to the team/coach at all, and just talked to the player while Puma was in NASL. Puma informed coach lee and told him that he wishes to join EG. So coach lee could do nothing but release him (he never had the chance to talk to EG). This is pretty sad...

What the... I don't see how TSL can go on from here, I mean, not only did they just lose Trickster and FD recently, but now Puma too? I guess they still have some good players but they just lost the guy that just won NASL lol >,<

TSL guys must have a LOT of confidence in Clide and Revival, sheesh.

Really interested to see if he can keep up his level outside of a (Korean) team house.

Postman, because there was NO OFFER.

It was all done behind the fucking back of TSL.

They could make the deal via proper channels (coaches), yeah?
