I don't think we need anymore comparisons to other sports. The only reason that teams talk to teams there is because it is always a trade situation. This is a different beast since there was no trade planned but an acquisition of an uncontracted player. Unless we get a system similar to this there will be no impetus for teams to contact other teams unless it is in the players contract...which PuMa didn't have.

Here's a question: does EG usually go around asking random players at tournaments (who are already affiliated with teams) if they'd like to join? Do they already know if these players have contracts? Do they ever consider making business proposals to management, or do they just go around sniffing for players?

Never rude? Did you watch the same interview. Milkis tries to good good things for the community by bring news of abroad and they completely shit on him, especially the last 15 minutes. Honestly, Milkis was not the right one to have on the other side of the debate, I knew from the get go it was going to be a slaughter.

The guy, without a doubt, deserves an apology.

Milkis needs an apology too ):

I think the problem is that EG approached Puma who everyone knew is already with TSL. He may not be contracted but he's still a part of TSL...

How can you debate with a translator...

Its not a debate when Alex attacks him and when Milkis tries to defend himself Wheat cuts him off repeatedly.

No, for accusing him of not being a good journalist (when he was just a translator) at the end of Weapon of Choice. Alot of people in the community, including TLO/Tyler, called him out for that, and apparently even DJWheat apologized to Milkis for that happening after WoC.

Well after the information that has come to light, Milikis effectively promulgated and defended outright incorrect information. Maybe not with his translation, but with his decision to appear on Lo3 his side was clear.

Well, this is nice and all, but:

-Milkis deserves an apology as well
-Just don't let this happen again
-Even if he wasn't under contract, it's still fishy

I don't think I can, personally, like EG again, but it doesn't really matter, I'm just a spectator. An apology is nice, that's all there's to say, and hopefully the drama can now be put to a rest, while people involved learn everything they can from this situation.

I think the unfortunate part is that most of the people who are ragging on EG, even after watching WoC, probably won't read/understand this either, heh.

But i'm glad it's here for people to see at least!

He did call Milkis unprofessional, accused him of defamation, and called him a bad journalist for just translating a PlayXP article.

While reading this I was thinking that he writes just like he talks lol (no disrespect intended, but anyone who saw his podcast/show appearances knows what I'm talking about lol)

I appreciate the whole PR speech to calm the flames (that were pretty much dead), but I'm now more interested on where Puma is going to go. How are you going to make him a better player? Yes, he is now a better paid player, but what are the plans to make him the best player he can be? Him moving to the USA to the EG team house, in my opinion, and no offense, would be a drastic drop off to the practice he was getting in Korea. The practice partners aren't as good, ladder is way below Korea's, and there isn't the coaching staff that TSL had. If he stays in Korea, where will he practice? I am sure that he will bring the skill level of the EG players with how good of a terran he is, but how will he become a better player?
