They're well-off financially BECAUSE they're good at judging players on ROI. ALL e-sports teams, in one way or another, judge on ROI. E-sports is a BUSINESS. What matters most to teams is that more money is being brought in than is being spent. On March 18 2013 11:19 ticklishmusic wrote: This is the first time I've ever heard of EG having money issues. Wut. Just because they're better off financially than most teams does not mean Puma was worth keeping for the level of salary he was requesting. EG didn't get into its financial position by backing losing investments. | ||

That said, Coach Park may have other ideas, but I would guess that, so long as JYP is not being paid as much as Puma (and his performances have been significantly better anyway), Coach Park would rather help JYP to become a greater asset to the team rather than ditch him ASAP a la Chelsea/Real*/$moneymoneymoney$ clubs. | ||

Why would they ever let him go? While I don't argue he's had some good showings in the SPL the question is if his place on the team is cost-efficient? I wrote the comment in haste, but, before posting took a look at his recent overall win percentages and they are unimpressive. He was another Korean, like Puma, who transitioned away from Korean teams before it became "common" and therefore I'm making the educated guess from the OP that his salary is high as well. If evaluating from a marketing standpoint, has JYP generated significant ROI for sponsors? I don't know, but considering limited exposure from major tournament decisions and mediocre concurrent stream-view numbers (twitch.tv/egjyp) it seems unlikely. I have no ill will towards JYP, my post is an honest prediction that I (pridefully) assumed people would agree with. | ||

He is also finally doing well in PvT. EGTL has a pretty weak protoss line up, now isn't the time to take out a relatively good protoss. (I think JYP is performing better in SPL than Hero?) JYP popularity in Korea is supposedly to be quite high too. | ||
