I'm gonna take a gander and say that Axiom or Acer might be the ones most willing to pick him up. At significantly less than what EG probably offered him as a re-negotiated contract.

I think Puma may have overplayed his hand.

Sad but understandable under the circumstances.
But yeah being a Korean gamer is very imba. If you're a non-korean gamer you have to balance your game playing with earning money and your real life. If you're Korean you just sit around playing games all day eating 2 cent ramyun and becoming gosu.

Quite understandable.

Good luck to PuMa finding a new highly-ranked foreign team, as he deserves to be in one.

On a sidenote, everything was so formal and serious, but I couldn't help but lol when it came down to the bit with the twitter address.

Any Starcraft II players you like in particular?

JulyZerg.

*Everyone laughs. I don't know why.

Anyone who didn't come from Brood War?

Oddly, I end up mostly watching players who used to play Brood War. They just have so much personality.

I do like players like say, MarineKing, because he has his own unique characteristic, in his case making a lot of marines and using them well.

Oh god it's happening.


MKP must have the highest ratio popularity * skill / monthly salary, so I gotta admit I would not be surprised at all

What?! Puma was EG's ace for so long, it seems cold to throw him off like that.
But that also meant they were paying him a lot of money - which has recently become unjustified. So they offered him less money and he left instead. Sounds fair to me, no?

Speaking of which... I wonder how Puma hopes to find a better contract than what they offered him. He's not particularly hot on the market right now and there's a lot of other strong free agents as well.

What? Would never have thought that they would let go of Puma given the success he brought EG when compared to say Machine.

Machine is probably being paid significantly less than Puma was. It's not just how about how many wins they're getting, it's how much they're exposure they're generating for the EG Brand and its sponsors RELATIVE to how much EG is paying them.

Despite how it may seem, Machine does have a quite a few fans and streams regularly. As a result, he has some way of creating exposure for EG and its sponsors, so it probably justifies the smaller salary EG pays him to get a return on investment.

Puma can't speak English well, so he can't expose the EG brand and sponsors as much if he isn't winning tournaments. He wasn't, so EG thought they weren't getting a return on investment for his larger salary, so they tried to renegotiate a smaller, more appropriate salary relative to how much exposure he was generating for them. He rejected it, so they let him go.

Sad to hear but hope he gets picked up by another team and see him do well again.

Is this the first time EG released a player due to poor results?


They didn't kick him. Read the ending and they said they offered him less salary and some less event times which he didn't want so they decided to let him go.

And the renegotiation was because of results...
Either way, hope you find a great team puma.

Aww really liked Puma, but completely forgot he was a player. Haven't seen news about him in a long time. GL to him in the future!

Sad to hear this. Puma was my first favorite Korean player.

No doubt he's been struggling lately and I agree with everything in the statement but it's still sad to see him go. Good luck to both him and eg.
