people automatically assume its expensive (eg house) after seeing korean team houses... Dont forget that EG Lair is in the middle of nowhere. Sir scoots covered up the fact that moving ANYWHERE else, would cost a lot more... Plus Teams like SKT1, KT, Woongjin etc. Have small Villas that they live/sleep in. So Idk whats ur point.
?? i think you expanded on my point...

You are the reason I mostly ignore people with under 100 posts. You clearly didn't read or just decided to not understand and troll your heart out.

This is unfortunate, but I definitely understand the decision that was made.
They need to start buffing up the roster.

Good decision by EG. Time to buy flash or something hehe

Pro league putting the squeeze on EG's bankroll. I think KeSPA teams/training style would suit PuMa well.
Didn't really seem to fit him all that well when he played BW. Plus if he's looking for more money than EG would offer then he's not likely to get it from a KeSPA team since I'd say they probably place far less importance on foreign events than EG does.

He was definitely half-decent at BW, so I don't get where you'd ever assume that a KeSPA style training regimen wouldn't work for him.

Wasn't he just a practice partner?

He was part of Estro and later Hite. Afaik, he was mostly a b-teamer. But yes, he was practice partner as well.

His success at marathon style tournaments in the foreign scene, together with a somewhat all-inish style and lack of success at preparation based tournaments such as GSL makes me think that he would not succeed at a Kespa team.
Let me expand upon this: he would make a very good practice partner for the A teamers, by letting them practice vs a certain build. If coached properly, he might be used as a sniper for a certain map. But I doubt that he would ever become a 'complete' player, even on a Kespa team.

You pretty much just described Puma in BW. The couple of times he was sent out to snipe in Proleague, his nerves generally got the better of him and he lost.

@ Grettin
What proof do you have other than the "EX-COO"
My argument was about the contradictory business model, not Phoenix, Arizona's housing market lol... Does ending a sentence with lol make you superior? Do you really want Alex Garfield to bash Puma on how he never contributed to team exposure outside of the game and he isn't worth what he used to cost anymore? Can people not read between the lines? There is a difference between "no fluff" and "being an asshole".
I thought Alex bashed him enough already, which is why I made the comment about the Team house in Phoenix. I think it's contradictory on more than one count.
I don't think lol at the end of my sentence makes me superior. Quite the opposite after reading my post again.

He didn't do anything in BW. He accomplished far more in SC2, under a non-KeSPA team(s). So what's the logic behind thinking a KeSPA team would be a good place for him?

Because Idra Incontrol etc still have large fan bases and are great for sponsors. This may shock you but sponsors don't give a fuck how good you are, they care how many Monster Energy drinks you sell.

Good statement. Actually seems honest and explains everything.

Well with that being said, I wonder what idra and incontrol's salaries are in comparison to PuMa? Or any of EG for that matter.

I agree, there is too much fluff in most of these statements.

Why not drop idra, incontrol, machine and suppy instead if they are serious about proleague?

This is an excellent statement, it really shows the reasons for letting PuMa go. I loved his 1-1-1 play, but it seemed a bit off in the last 6-8 months.
Thank you PuMa, for all your hard work at EG. And thank you, EG, for dealing with this in a professional matter.
I hope PuMa will eventually find a new team and can get those good results (whether it be in- or outside Korea) again.
I will always remember you as EG.PuMa

This has been answered, intelligently, about fifty-eight times before in this thread. I suggest you read at least one or two pages - you might learn something new.
