He doesn't have an agent to represent him or protect his interests. Who knows if he was even making minimum wage. Can you imagine how angry you would be if someone wanted to hire you from your current job and was willing to pay you more money, but your employer basically cock blocked it because it would be inconvenient for them? Puma might have a contract, but he shouldn't be treated like a slave. Well said. | ||

The future of these exchanges are literally at stake with this type of business practice. Not only that, but Koreans as a whole are very nationalistic (I lived in Korea for 2 years, I can safely say that much at least). I doubt that any Korean pros are going to say anything polite about a guy who basically defected to a foreign country. | ||

You should write a strongly worded letter to him and prey to the ESPORTS god that Scoots will become more professional then. That would have more effect than complaining about it in this thread. | ||

Does it have anything different from Torch's situation, which I alluded to like two hours ago (i.e. SK's situation with oGs - Torch represented ST in Korea, but was free to rep. VT Gaming outside)? Because if it doesn't, or if Dimaga didn't provide enough information, then this situation is different. | ||

On July 21 2011 17:50 yeint wrote: By airing the details and calling it "disrespectful", he painted Puma as a money-grubbing traitor and EG as a villain. That's beyond unprofessional. And if you're going to reply with something silly like "but he told the truth!" then just know I'd be done talking to you. He said EG was being disrespectful, yes. No where did he mention anything specific about PuMa apart from "It feels like the player I raised was just stolen away from me." Now, where exactly is the "public humiliation"? | ||

If a team works it's butt off to get a player better, finally to see him win over some great players and win something like NASL, only to have him sniped away. Very different to the work place. In any sport/esport the team is working to get these players better for the players and themselves and to have another team just pick them away after the harder work is done should be stopped. EG should of atleast talked to TSL first and shown interest and ask to speak to him. Without something like that starcraft 2 will not be as strong as players will just jump about and things like the GSTL could be dominated by 1 team and every season lineups be completely different (an over exaggeration but it *could* happen with it being like this). Actually everyone in the entire world had a job they started out, learned from and then get promoted or get a better offer. This is no different. | ||

The dumb analogy with the employer? Doesn't work when it's between the West and the East. Time to go to bed. Just because the corporate culture in Asia loves to exploit their cultural propensity for respect of one's elders doesn't make it okay. It's tantamount to defending good ol' boy white male preferentialism because it's rooted in regional cultural values. The "employer/employee" relationship isn't an analogy, it's a fact. This isn't a martial arts movie, this is real life. People need to earn money to live, and they do so by working for organizations that pay them for it. | ||

That seems to be Alex's job. All scoots is saying is that we don't know the whole story. | ||
