haha this is so ironic. Coach Lee the angel that got his little Puma ripped from underneath his nose by the evil organisation EG. Would you look at that! :D
Sucks for FD and Trickster though, this cant have been good at all for them. Having someone so highly regarded, untill now, talking that way about you, damn. And damn you Coach Lee for doing this to your employees, no shame.

they were not. Look at the Puma/EG situaition and see if they were contracted. They were paid for playing for TSL.

It does seem quite ironic that he made such a big deal (playing the innocent victim of the evil Evil Geniuses) when he lost the uncontracted player, Puma. And now it's shown that he doesn't even pay players that are contracted. Since Puma didn't have a contract, it definitely makes sense why he would want to sign one for a team other than TSL And from what I understand, TSL never even offered Puma a contract so yeah, it just seems TSL is making one bad decision after another.
|
its freaking me out that so many people say it serves them right for not training enough. That is so not the issue here, of course it his okay to punish a player monatery for for insuffiecent effort, but you dont go to them and say: Yes you will get paid, but not now because the sponsor didn't send the money, as if their is no issue with the player, while sitting on the money al along, together with some of the other statements it more seems like coach Lee is wasting money, not to mention he might just pocket some.
|
Wow, so seems like Coach Lee pocketed some of the money as well as old equipment for use in his PC Bang and also lied about it... Seems like a very ugly situation.

There either had to be a contract or a verbal agreement for a certain salary between the parties in this instance, whereas that was not the case with Puma. The situations are completely different.

Wait... is this a Kespa that works?
|
EG should have been more aware of Korean customs and how the Korean scene does business when it bought Puma. It should have directly contacted TSL, promised to pay a high transfer fee, and then not pay it, citing failing business and not securing sponsors. That would be the right thing to do.

Puma is not Fruit Dealer or Trickster. He was not a salaried player on TSL.

I see what you did there! Hilarious! Cheers mate! 
As for the rest of this post, I think we have finally seen Coach Lee's true colours between this contract debacle and the turn-coat press situation with EG. He has provided significant evidence of his general lack of honesty between these two events and he is on the ropes.
For the sake of the Korean SC2 scene, I hope he pulls it all together, cleans up his act, and moves on as an honest, thoughtful, and intelligent businessman and coach. Good luck to TSL, they are still a good team and have continued to put out decent results over the last year!

Not really. They have no real power essentially.
Note that they are still able to play in all GSL matches.

Not only was Puma not salaried, but he was also not contracted, nor should he apparently have had any hope of becoming salaried in light of the situation he saw. So someone please tell me now why we should hate Puma for what he did, when it was Coach Lee that backstabbed him in the media?

Luckily, an organization can't get immediate power and do what it wants immediately. They have done enough to destroy Lee's and TSL's reputation to the point that I doubt new players will join.

Is it stated anywhere that he actually pocketed it for himself? It states that the money was withheld..yet he continued to tell the team that there was no money coming in from the sponsors - leading to Clide and SangHo's generosity in sacrificing their own wages to keep the team going..
Where did the withheld money go?

Uh, don't post if you are ignorant to that situation.
Koreans were blaming PUMA more than Lee/EG. He was depressed as fuck on twitter for a few weeks and the KR forums were slamming him for being "unloyal"

It's strongly implied by the official release that money went missing, or at least, not immediately obvious where money was been spent. There are many way where in a small business (which what a pro-team really is) that can happen, not all are malicious.
We as outsiders will never really know what actually happened, so I again pled that we withhold judgement. It's not a contradiction if Mr Lee is both a good E-sports man but also a clueless business one. We'll never know.
