After seeing this i would like to hire you on a 90H/week job with close to no salaries. Because you know... gold digging in work is bad.


Pretty sure he didn't even get a salary on ROOT right? I don't think their sponsors are big enough to pay full salaries.


That was the point But i was moking the quoted user. Not really wise but i felt like it earlier.
Also i don't know for the salary.

To be fair, puck was one of their better players. Take it for what you will.

Man leave it to the internet hate machine to get mad over someone gold digging and getting called on it.

ROOT does so much for inspiring players and up and comers. Before Puck joined he was no where near as successful as he is now. He finally has made a huge break and he sees this as an opportunity to make more money. ROOT brought him up but when the money doesn't come he leaves. While none of you find this morally objective, I do. I wouldn't turn my back on my friends/family for a paycheck.

Without any statement we are not left with much to thin, besides he is leaving them for money. If he has different reasons then hopefully someone reveals them.

But I guess greed runs rampant around this parts.

What are you talking about? These players are trying to get by. Not everyone can earn easy EG money. You guys don't need to know every little detail as to why someone would leave a team. It really is none of our business.

do you feel the same about young free agents in sports who leave to get more money after a small town team develops them in their minor league system? because that's standards sports business. hell, it's standard business. being a big talent's "first job" doesn't entitle you to their whole career in almost any field.

Yeah, damn those SC2 gold diggers. Shameless...

My favorite part of your last post was the "greed runs rampant around these parts".

Hmm I wonder what team Puck has lined up for himself. I doubt a player of his caliber would just up and walk away from the relative security of ROOT.

Everyone that thinks they can judge this situation based on all of the non-info we have is being dumb. It's unreasonable to be mad at Puck.

I really like him as a player and used to watch his stream often. I wish him much success in his decisions in the future.

You could compare this to young promising Finnish ice hockey players that are brought up in Finnish junior clubs and who end up going to NHL. This never happens and people are against that, right? Um no, actually it's considered a pretty large honor and it's very normal / expected ;S

You can compare it anything you want. The fact is he isn't going to some team, and ROOT is not some junior club. There are very few American teams who can claim to be better then ROOT. These teams also don't pay out huge for players, excluding Liquid and EG, which are very unlikely to sign him.
