This new information is very much relevant because it shines a light on his real character and paints those events in a different context. It's not really relevant at all. All the same issues hold true in the EG case. This only shines light on why Puma might've wanted to leave, but EG were still poaching Puma. There doesn't always need to be 1 good guy and 1 bad guy, Coach Lee being a jerk(I don't really feel he is for holding the wages, but because he lied about the sponsors) doesn't automatically make EG better. Did you even read EG's comment about it? I also think Lee also made a huge deal about Puma leaving and played the "victim". Exaggerated things on the press and made Puma/EG the villain. I'm sad for Puma for all the smashed talked he got from the community without even knowing the true side behind it. Also how can you consider that a coach? Visiting the team house 2-3 times per MONTH? Ofcourse I've read their comments about it. It's interesting how that's the first thing people question when people disagree with them. Maybe Lee did play the victim, but now that the dust has settled, I still feel EG was in the wrong poaching Puma like they did. If Puma wanted to leave, he should start talks with a team, else EG should go through the coach/other team management. On the definition of coach, I feel is also pretty irrelevant. It just says he's a pretty terrible coach, which I'm not arguing against. Like I said, I feel this is quite irrelevant. Him being a jerk, doesn't automatically change how things went down in the EG situation. What? EG didn't poach Puma, they spoke to him. Coach Lee was the one that claimed that they had signed him before speaking to him which they hadn't. Given the timing of this tribunal and the timing of the EG/TSL drama it was likely known what was going down in TSL by everyone from FriuitDealer and Trickster(tribunals don't exactly pop the day after a dispute is aired, these things take time). Given this, Puma who was offered a salaried contract from EG had to consider players who weren't getting paid and being lied to as well as a very sticky situation regarding the advertising displaying FD and T's images. Meanwhile Lee runs to the presses and outright lies about the situation and plays the victim portraying EG in a bad light. This notion that EG merely speaking to Puma as being unprofessional is total bullshit. They took absolutely no action besides gauging Puma's interest and agreed that he should go talk to his coach before they proceed any further. It took a long time for Puma to talk to his coach and from the information we're receiving now,(IF it holds to be true) shows that Puma likely didn't have much respect for his coach given the drama that was going down at the time and the fact that he rarely even shows up. The fatherly role facade was shown to be bullshit and the whole circumstances under which the deal seemed to be unethical are likely entirely fabricated. If your whole argument is going to be "he should have gone to the coach first" without any context or justification as to why it holds any relevance in this specific case or in SC2 in general then I really don't care about your opinion. The context of how and why things went down the way they did is clearly important. | ||

The sooner our community realize this, and stop trying to paint every drama with a good/bad side, the less likely we will be drawn into a mob every two weeks. | ||

Honestly, i'm fucking sick of this. EG does something that is disrespectful to SOME business standards of the world (and many would just call it "competition") and TL shits on their face. Coach Lee outright embezzles and defrauds his own team and people swoop in to say there are many people at fault. Insanity. Coach Lee sounds like a crook to me. Sure tester and fruitdealer could have practiced more, but if a contract doesn't enforce strict practice, a coach shouldn't sign it if they are not comfortable. This is so pathetic. To not come off as a total fucking crook, Coach Lee is instead portraying himself as just naive to competition and incompetent in managing his finances. | ||

Additionally, WMF doesn't really have a "real" SC2 team; all the SC2 players are actually contracted to play WC3 and pretty much dabble in SC2 in their downtime when there aren't WC3 tournaments around for them. (As an aside, yes, Moon still plays WC3. Rumors have been floating around about him playing SC2 full-time now, but that is definitely not true. He's contracted to play WC3 for WMF until sometime next year.) No idea why SlayerS isn't in it, to be honest, though I've heard tell that they're considered "partners" of the association, whatever that means. Don't know if that's accurate though, so definitely don't quote me on that. The president is on IM not ST its IMJunwi. | ||

That's called tampering. A recent example of this was two years ago, when Chris Bosh was about to finish his last year with the Raptors, Lakers coach Phil Jackson made a public comment that "Chris would be a nice fit to the Lakers". Jackson was later fined 100,000 dollars. Regardless of what EG says, it was still them that approached Puma and offered him a deal while he was with another team. It is still considered highly unethical to do such a thing. | ||

It is still considered highly unethical to do such a thing. No, that's a player under contract in a heavily regulated league where he is getting paid millions of dollars a year because he signed a contract both with the league he is playing in and with his team that specifically makes such actions a breach of said contract. It is a condition required by the league in order to keep the league itself competitive and has nothing to do ethics whatsoever. It's a completely different context where there is no ambiguity or vagueness and to claim that it is applicable to an unsigned player in a very loosely regulated league is absurd. The players and teams aren't even part of any exclusive league, which is the only context in which the rule is enforced to keep the league itself competitive to prevent the richest teams from buying up all the talent within the league. The notion that in SC2 talking to a player is "highly unethical" is your own poorly constructed opinion. | ||
