I don't study law, but it is my understanding that an oral contract is no less binding than a written contract (as recognized by the law) with the only exception being through the Statute of Fraud - essentially denying that there was an agreement altogether. In my opinion, if you receive a salary from someone, there must be some sort of understanding, contract or no. Aaaanyway, none of that really matters now, because it is done. There is nothing more to comment on until EG makes a statement. | ||

My bet is that Puma wanted to be on a more successful team, practicing with better players. I wouldnt become a professional gambler. EG has exactly one decent practice partner  | ||

I know there are no rules in place to say EG tampered, but talking in comparison, that is EXACTLY what EG did (assuming the content in OP is correct). Now assuming Puma did not have a binding contract, it's obviously legally not a problem, but morally? not so sure.. | ||

And in those sports, players have agents and massive support systems, neither of which are available to the vast majority of pro gamers. In fact, tampering almost always includes action on the part of a players agent, meaning all of these people screaming "poaching" and "tampering" clearly have no idea how different e-sports is than athletics. | ||

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). The place I currently work at are very active in raising its employees know-how. We are sent to courses and seminars all the time and most of them aren't cheep. I fail to see how this is much different. | ||

By saying things like that, you're actually showing that you have no idea what business is about. Any big corporation would want to be seen as ethical and reputable. Going around shafting people earns you a bad reputation which is bad for business. This is common sense.

interesting though. im most familiar with how hockey works when it comes to professional teams and stuff and this would be a case of tampering if hes under contract still. (fined by the league, obviously dont get the player, lose draft picks) but, likely sc2 contracts work a little different than hockey does, assuming any of this is even true. one step closer to being seen in the same light as hockey!! one can dream right let us all read a song of ice and fire and give it a couple hours before we call for their heads | ||

And what infrastructure is there in the Korean scene? It's already been stated that their players weren't even under contract. Their scene right now is basically throw a bunch of guys in a house together for practice and that's that. | ||

Sorry, even the korean players would see that as incredibly dumb. If Korean teams are afraid of losing players, maybe they should pay more? If they cannot afford to play more, maybe they don't deserve the players? | ||
