It's cool because I don't see people throwing random shit at HerO or TaeJa despite their lackluster performance in Proleague, while JYP has kept a record similar to their. | ||

I do not know the contract statuses of players in Korea, so I can't comment. But in general there are plenty of better players than JYP. | ||

As has been stated multile times, EG doesn't judge solely on tournament results. Tournament results is just part of how they judge a member's worth, and can be made up in other ways to expose the brand and sponsors. Incontrol is good at doing other things for eg and its sponsors bewidrs tourney results, so no need to fear for his livelihood or anything. | ||

I like how you only look at proleague and not their performance as a whole. Let's see taeja and hero both won multiple foreign tournaments for starters. Both much better results in code S, especially taeja. Nice try man. EG would love to have taeja or hero over JYP anyday. | ||

Huh? Both of them get plenty of shit from fans because of their poor performances in PL. Both were expected to do much better. Stop being such a fanboy | ||

With incoming superstars like Jaedong, Stephano, Thorzain etc this wasn't surprising at all, I guess if you're not a popular player and results stop coming then you're always gonna be in danger of losing your place. Sad to see someone I recognise as EG's first great pickup and first Korean leave, but I can't deny I do like the way the EG storyline is going, New York Yankees of eSports? They'd have to win a team league consistently to get that moniker. As it is now, they're lucky if they place in say top 8 or so. | ||

"Did we provide the right training environment for Puma?" "Did we help him develop into a better player?" Often times, it's the employer's fault if employees underperform. I am not saying this is the case here, but it would be a slap in the face if Puma goes to another team and starts posting great results. | ||

Like the reasoning that they REALLY want to focus on Proleague and therefore needs a team where everyone performs their best seems like a strange way of thinking. It seems like there is more behind this, but in all fairness what do I know. Demuslim had 6k+ viewers the other day. I'd say that is pretty good! About Puma, I guess if he cant live with a lower sallary it makes sense to not want to sign with them again | ||

It seems like there is more behind this, but in all fairness what do I know. You didn't even read the OP then. Or any of the thread, since this is brought up on nearly every page... They wanted to keep Puma on their team, but they didn't want him to be one of the highest paid people in EG when he doesn't get results that could possibly justify his wages. Puma refused to go down in salary despite performing worse so EG couldn't offer him a contract he'd accept. | ||

He gets the same zero win results as Incontrol, but doesn't bring any other attributes that Incontrol brings to the team and community. | ||
