Hopefully this move allows EG to pick up to players because honestly they need as many bodies as possible to be successful in korea. | ||

Is this the first time EG released a player due to poor results? There is a laundry list of players they released because they didn't amount to much in the way of results or PR. | ||

It's particularly a surprise because Team Liquid, my favorite foreigner team, has remained loyalty to players like Nony and TLO even when they weren't performing at the highest levels. Why is this? Why do some SC2 teams keep players based on performance and others based on loyalty? Did you read the part where EG said they offered him a contract but it wasn't as good as his old one and he declined so they parted ways? So yeah they didn't kick him. | ||

Thanks for OP to bold out the important part. I didn't know that they paid him that much but then again one of their most paid korean players. They only got JD and Revival thats not Puma, no doubt that JD have a big check but Revival being less paid then Puma? EG sure doesn't know how to negotiate ^^ And I wonder if anyone is looking to pick him up, who would want a bad korean player? Edit: It's going to be very interesting now in Proleague and if EG wants to pick up another player. Maybe they even push Liquid for another pickup? | ||

That's basically kicking him out... I mean, what's the point of being on EG if you're not going to get paid any more than being on Mouz or Eclypsia? | ||

Why do some SC2 teams keep players based on performance and others based on loyalty? All depends on what a team is looking to get out of the players and how loyal they can afford to be. Obviously with guys like nony he wasn't breaking their bank account so they could afford to be loyal. TLO is a huge draw from an eyeballs standpoint much like an incontrol on EG even if TLO doesn't do as many shows etc. | ||

From a management standpoint though, it makes perfect sense that a player with Puma's current record shouldn't be paid the same amount as a player with Puma's record during his highest period, and honestly if Puma couldn't accept that he doesn't deserve as high of a salary now as he did when he was strong (dominating, really), it's just as much his fault that he's no longer on EG. I don't really care one way or the other for EG, but I am a fan of Alex Garfield, honest guy | ||
