Could you stop doing that or quote the things properly and give the source/translation? -_-'


It basically means "what happened while I was sleeping?"

I think GomTV should start thinking about changing their qualifying format. At this rate, more talented players will leave Korean teams when they get frustrated by the unfair requirements for Code A. Guys like MMA and DRG are definitely good enough but even they can't win a hundred consecutive series against top koreans.

People keep saying this. Do you seriously think that EG isn't going to sign more players? This isn't going to be the final signing. Teams like EG have always gone after the best players.

Upsetting the entire Korean community is not exactly a wise move.


This seems like the key problem. In the short term how comfortable are korean teams going to be now sending players to events like MLG? The future of these exchanges are literally at stake with this type of business practice.

Yeah, well in the end it comes to trusting your players, not about what one person did. The amount of hyperbolic statements in reference to the effects this may have on Esports or Korean-Foreigner relations is laughable. Make those hyperbolic statements when Code S players start fleeing the country to get onto foreign teams, til then just relax.

Not before publicly crucifying him and making himself the victim.

The only unprofessionalism that's been shown so far is that. Regardless of the details, if you respect a person, the public face of the end of your professional relationship should be amicable.


What about Scoots tweeting about people not knowing facts instead of telling us the facts? Is that professional?


Wait for the release, are you honestly dense enough to think there wont be one soon?...


Then he shouldn't have said anything at all. Saying something via twitter allows us to see hes awake and able to make a statement. Which won't come for a few more hours at least. It's basic trolling 101. Oh, and it's unprofessional.

???


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.


I was merely pointing out that Coach Lee isn't the only one being 'disrespectful'

playxp.com article about player's contract

Playxp.com has posted article about this.

altho it doesnt speak directly of this matter, they say that CURRENTLY NOBODY HAS CONTRACT BETWEEN TEAM AND PLAYERS.

making a move like this possible.


Whoa, somebody please translate more!

Given the first 3 Korean comments were equivalent of "FIRST", I assume it's interesting stuff.


i would love to do it, but its almost GSTL time..lol..

basically it says there needs to be set of rules to prevent this and the SC2 organization needs to step up and do something.

Players like Sheth and QXC left ROOT for FXO because of money and travel expenses etc which ROOT couldn't provide. FXOBoss sure didn't consult drewbie and catz and ask them for their permission.
Is this a disrespecting Korean ethics thing? Cause stuff like this is very common when players switch teams in the west.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Yeah we can clearly see that when we look up the EG roster right now can't we?

I like how SirScotts and the SK Gaming admin where talking about "dirty player exchanges" on yesterdays OneMoreGame.TV and now i wake up to this :D

Based on the "facts" on the OP i would personally say ... welcome to capitalism in esports Korea!

PS : SirScotts was also stating on OMG.TV that he would highly appreciate some enforced rules in esports that would prevent players from switching mid season.

This reminds me of when Alex Garfield of EG snatched up complexity's counter-strike 1.6 team from coL.1. Not really surprising that EG would do this sort of thing once again.

At a minimum they would need to sign another 2-3 top koreans to give Puma better or the same practice that he had at TSL. You honestly think that is going to happen?

Happens all the time in sports, yeah maybe EG could have talked to the coach but at the end of the day Puma made the choice. You cannot blame EG really for pursuing a great player when they have the resources to pay him what he wants. Hopefully he does well with EG and hopefully TSL rebuilds and keeps doing well as well.


Actually it never happens in any other sport. Players are contracted and if other teams want them, they have to pay transfer fees.

It makes you wonder what EG gets from this deal. I dont think he will live with the other EG-members so they have an extra practice partner. So it is purely for promotion during tournaments. He is a great player though so kudo's to EG.


They want to fly Puma and have him win tournaments since no one else besides Idra is capable of doing that.

Idra is capable of winning LAN tournaments? Source please.
