I think Puma may have overplayed his hand. | ||

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. | ||

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

Sounds fair to me, no?What?! Puma was EG's ace for so long, it seems cold to throw him off like that. 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
