After a twitter hint by @OrangeMilkis, several Korean media confirmed the big news - NASL champion Puma will leave Team SCV Life to join the foreign organization Evil Geniuses.
According to a TL.net translation by Milkis, EG approached Puma, seeing his impressive run at the NASL, a tournament the Korean terran eventually won. Several comments by TSL's coach Lee Won Jae have also been translated.
- "It is disappointing that we have to make a decision like this, but it's extremely objectionable [T/N: displeasing, disgusting, etc] that Evil Geniuses would ignore the coaches completely and directly go talk to the player," says Lee. "It's really disturbing. It feels like the player I raised was just stolen away from me.", adding that "There needs to be a system to stop foreign teams from stealing Korean players like this".
With joining EG, Puma will receive a certain salary as well as funded travels abroad to participate in various tournaments.
