Verbal contracts are worth $0.00 USD. Good fact to know.

@Djzapaz
Clearly you do not have a comprehensive understanding of how contracts are negotiated and how these "things" are handled in other sports. The minor leagues are stocked full of adults that are under contract trying to prove themselves worthy of a promotion to the major leagues and the hopes of making more money.....FYI they also get paid because they are under contract.
Point of order the Milkis situation has nothing to do with this current argument so stop making emotional blunders in your attempt to be logical.
I'm not sure what you know, I'm betting not as much as you should know, but the SC2 scene is pretty great, amazing even. It's growing in a way Broodwar never did.
Addressing the Milkis situation, Alex was simple having a discussion about the fact that translators include their own bias in there translations. Which is a very valid point. If the title of the article is different then the whole situation is perceived differently. Or maybe you think everyone is non biased?

what an insult to the koreans for dominating the sport they are competing in.
if sc2 dies in korea, then EVERYBODY loses cuz the audience sees shitty foreign players in the finals of every tournament (by shitty i mean comparatively shitty)

But what do I know, really, maybe the SC2 scene is just trash and we should accept things like this. I like to think that it's not the case. And then you went and lumped Milikis into that point? That's just grasping at straws and using buzzwords to stir up controversy and drama. Milikis is completely separate from this issue of TSL/EG/Puma. Yes, it's definitely a trash scene that a kid gets to professional game via contract around the world. Trash trash trash.
I talked about Milkis to point out that EG is entirely capable of acting in a stupid and childish way which is exactly what they did when they approached him directly. I'm not trying to stir up controversy and drama, the thread is progressing so quickly that there are probably like 3 people reading, and apparently they're mostly fanboys who like to think that this transaction was done properly.
TSL didn't have a formal contract for Puma, and yet even if they did, approaching Puma directly was worthy of the minor leagues.

Every other sport has contracts with clear terms describing the conditions of employment, and there's a governing body to determine how transfers happen. There is no contract here. It is an at will employment situation
And again, that doesnt answer the question. Why is it that you think Korea customs are automatically the norm in a transaction between two teams in two different countries in an international sport?? Everyone keeps falling back to that but it makes no sense. If anything, it proves the need for some kind of Kespa system

Korea customs aren't the norm but should be respected. Granted, I understand your point: perhaps we should abuse the flaws in their honor-based culture with the strengths of good ole' money and soul binding paper.

Honor-based system? Not paying your employees is honor based? Covering up a child sex abuse scandal is honor based? Kespa is honor based? I'm all for money and soul binding paper if thats the alternative to "honor based"

You should respect the other person that you're dealing with. It's not every sport or international an international thing.
A good analogy would be like a store insulting their customers. The customer might not come back, and might back out on the deal.
It's not just Korea, but it's like that everywhere. If this transaction was done with another country, those customs should be respected as well.
Edit for clarification.

first of all. if Sc2 died in Korea, it wouldnt even matter at this point. the koreans would just join international teams and that would be it. the GSL has produced about 3 hours worth of interesting games in like 9 monthes. there is a reason everybody, including the casters bash it.
second. we dont owe Korea shit, we dont owe them allegiance, we dont have to bow down and kiss their feet. all this blind Korea worshipping is just getting old. Nobody says anything when koreans disrespect us(which they do alot, a certain "Koreans own White dudes" on the podium of a huge tourney comes to mind) in case you hadnt noticed. the foreign scene is doing more than ok. poeple like you, are part of the problem concerning issues like this.
(No trolls, i dont dislike Korea or anything, but they arent gods of esports or anything)
