That's what I sort of figured. PhoeniX would be better off joining a team based in Korea with his impending military duty, meh. Shit like this happens. | ||

I don't know much about either parties in this but it seems the post made by reign was very aggravated even when it was mentioned that they weren't here to hurt his reputation. Using aggressive words like threatening, refused and demanding isn't how you go about making a press release about it when you state that it's not meant to bash him. "Negotiations/ed" "Persuade" "Requesting/ed" are passive words that don't reflect any hostility in the matter, and thus should be used when portraying any type of press release regarding this matter where you don't intend to bash the mentioned player. It just seems that you guys are frustrated with the said player and are showing it with your choice of words while sugar coating it with the first few sentences. I personally feel you're trying to make the player the bad guy while trying to make yourselves look logically reasonable and not at fault, all which could of been done with passive wording while avoiding the "Phoenix is the bad guy here" theme. | ||

It's a shame it didn't work out but it seems to be for the better for both sides. | ||

And I certainly understand Reign making this post after the whole EG/Puma drama. Seems like they did a good job of representing the whole argument. | ||

Unless EG signed a contract with Puma before contacting TSL management in any way, shape, or form nothing wrong happened. Why negotiate with management before seeing if a player is even interested? | ||

It's not bullshit, nor am I sugarcoating my choice of words. People were complaining that EG didn't announce the signing of PuMa themselves. | ||

 Haha maybe if he was done with his military service or whatever it would've worked out. | ||

They aren't painting phoenix in a negative light - they're saying what happened and what he did, and why the deal didn't fall through. This isn't negative. | ||

I'm pretty sure most of the complaints were about their handling of the situation in regards to communicating with TSL, not about announcing the Puma acquisition themselves. To be honest, I don't remember a single post of that nature. Them being beaten to the punch by TSL was a side-effect of not being in communication with the team, if a player acquisition is going on behind the scenes, neither team will really reveal it to the public, in this case it happened because both teams weren't on the same page. So yeah, the situations are pretty different, general negotiations aren't really something you want to talk about in public, because there are likely a fair few negotiations that fall through and you don't everyone to be jumping on a player's nuts for expecting terms adequate to their expectations. Really, that's all that happened here, negotiations fell through, the only difference is that Reign announced that Phoenix was a part of the team before he had signed the contract, which was a massive blunder on their part. | ||
