This is turning into a complete he said, she said. Though I did feel Mr. Lee was ridiculously aggressive when he doesn't even contract his players, this is a business, you can't run a business on trust.

I still think the entire issue was exploded out of proportion horribly, but it's still good to see EG make a statement on the issue and I'm glad there seems to be no bad blood between EG and TSL. GL to EG and Puma!

I think it is a good statement. I don't have to agree about everything but i think this whole issue is not that big of a deal what many people want to make out of it.
In 1 month if puma wins some tournament everyone is going to root for him and EG. I just hope that no brigdes for the future in korea for eg and other foreign teams are burned but i dont think so.
So gl to all of you in the future!

It was, it was a PR situation, PR's not about right and wrong, PR's about not appearing to be a jackass. You don't stand in front of a rolling ball of ignorant rage and defend your position (when the topic is so trivial, at any rate), you just apologize until people are paying attention.

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up. It seemed way more sensationalized than it needed to be.

Have trusted that EG did the right thing all along, but I still believe that we need a "system" in e-Sport. to make sure that you can't go to players first. The "first step" might have been with Puma talking to his coach, but the true first step was EG going to Puma saying they were interested. That note should go through TSL, and not through Puma.

Yes, he had no contract, i know. I don't think EG did anything wrong. But I hope I got my point through

I don't understand why this is a big deal. He was never contracted and thus is a free agent and is free to go to any team. The only issue is whether or not he feels like he let down his previous team, but thats a personal thing between puma and TSL. While I don't love this pickup, I don't see anything outright wrong with it.

Where's the Milkis apology? Completely unprofessional.

Milkis does deserve an apology. To be honest, I don't know why a translator was brought in to have the overall "korean point of view" on this matter. He was going to be wrecked in any kind of debate considering he has zero role in this transaction. I think that this could've been avoided if the translator wasn't interrogated. Beyond that, the community generally jumps the gun with our assumptions. Thanks for clarifying again.
