[新聞] EG釋出Puma

This is, without a doubt, a tough announcement to make.

Today, we’re announcing that after having him as part of our family for more
than a year and half, Evil Geniuses will be releasing Ho Joon “PuMa” Lee
from our roster. We’ve parted ways amicably, with both sides very much
appreciating what we’ve done for each other. You guys hear this kind of
thing a lot in press releases (a player separating from a team, with both
sides saying nothing but nice things about the other), and you’re usually
skeptical about such public warmth – rightfully so, as oftentimes, it’s a
bunch of fluff, with juicy, dramatic, behind-the-scenes details being
withheld from the public eye. But this is not one of those cases.

我們宣佈將與和我們一起度過一年半的家人PuMa分道揚鑣

It doesn’t take an expert statistician to figure out that the PuMa we’ve
all seen over the past six months hasn’t quite been the same PuMa that we
saw in dominant form in the second half of 2011 and the first half of 2012.
While a pessimist might snidely remark that this is because the 1-1-1 build
isn’t in its prime anymore, we at EG attribute this difference in
performance largely to the fact that, over the past six months, EG as a team
has focused more on Korean competitions than ever before – most notably, via
our participation in the ever-demanding and rigorous Proleague. And, really,
Korean competitions were never Ho Joon’s specialty – his Proleague
performances were lackluster, and even in his prime, it seemed that he could
never catch a break and get out of Code B. But, just as much as he struggled
on Korean soil, he excelled outside of his home country.

在2011下半年及2012上半年我們看到了不一樣的PuMa
有人說這是因為1-1-1開局不再強勢
在過去六個月，透過EG參加日益艱辛的職業聯盟
可以看出我們比以前更加關注韓國的比賽

Looking at it objectively, PuMa’s collection of top three finishes from July
of 2011 to March of 2012 is one of the most impressive international
(non-Korean) tournament runs Wings of Liberty ever saw. Including his
breakout performance at NASL Season 1, he accumulated more than 130,000 USD
in prize money over this period, racking up wins at IEM Cologne and NASL
Season 2, coming in second at DreamHack Winter and the IEM World
Championships (in each case losing by only one map), and coming in third at
IEM Guangzhou and ASUS ROG Winter. Over this span, PuMa’s prize money total
comes second to only the legendary IM.MVP; if you take into account only
tournaments that took place on non-Korean soil, PuMa is far and away
StarCraft 2′s biggest earner during this period of time. And, with the
exception of NASL Season 1, he was an EG player while earning all of these
accolades.

2011年7月至2012年3月的WOL比賽
PuMa在NASL第一季累積了13萬美元的獎金
在IEM科隆站跟NASL中獲勝
在DreamHack跟IEM世界賽中獲得了亞軍(都只輸了一場圖)
在IEM廣州站和華碩ROG冬季賽獲得了季軍
除了NASL第一季，他作為EG的選手得到了這些榮耀

Ho Joon made just as many headlines, it seemed, outside of the game as he did
via his tournament accomplishments. This was the case from the very beginning
of his tenure on Evil Geniuses, with his decision to leave his Korean team,
TSL, drawing the ire (whether deserved or not) of many in the community,
including TSL’s Coach Lee. While it may be commonplace now for pretty
well-known Korean players to be on non-Korean teams, you have to remember
that back then, it just didn’t happen. PuMa was the first notable Korean
player to sign with a non-Korean team, and this took a lot of nerve and
courage on his part. In 2011, PuMa to EG was quite the headline, even earning
a “Biggest News Story of the Year” nomination in TeamLiquid.net’s 2011
Year in Review.

PuMa’s famous 1-1-1 build was extremely polarizing – brilliant to his fans,
and cheap to his detractors – and easily “won” the 2011 TeamLiquid.net
award for “Best (and Worst) Strategy“. Whether you liked his style of play
or not, the simple fact is that you saw Ho Joon in the headlines very often
in 2011 and 2012, and he contributed a great amount to our team and the
community during that period. His amazing rivalry with Liquid.HerO
entertained us all (those two players going back and forth was the driving
force behind EG vs. TL winning the “Best Rivalry” award that year, and his
accomplishments played a major part in our team tying with Liquid for
International Team of the Year 2011. Additionally, he was a fun, goofy
presence on our team, and really helped lighten the mood despite the language
barrier.

We at Evil Geniuses are very, very thankful for PuMa’s contributions to our
team, which obviously begs the question: why are we now parting ways with
him? Well, the answer to this is actually pretty simple. Going back to the
beginning of this write-up, just as much as Ho Joon is a force to be reckoned
with outside of Korea, his performance within Korea has been pretty
lackluster. And, for a team that definitely needs a shot in the arm in
Proleague, and that has made a commitment to its fans to improve in
Proleague, it doesn’t make sense to invest so heavily in a player whose
performances come far more frequently outside of Korea than they do within
Korea. PuMa was one of our highest-paid Korean players, and we felt that to
truly improve our performance in Proleague, we needed to get more results for
our investment. We view Ho Joon as a member of our family, and we didn’t
want to simply remove him from our team – in fact, we wanted to, and tried
to, renegotiate his contract in a way that would make more sense for both
sides (perhaps by balancing a decrease in salary with less Proleague
participation and more non-Korean event attendance), but ultimately this
approach was not desirable to him, and both of us agreed that it would be
best to release him.

作為一個隊伍，我們必須要有好成績、對粉絲有所交代
PuMa在團隊裡是收入最高的韓國人之一
我們認為我們的投資需要得到更好的回報
PuMa是EG家庭的一份子，我們不想就這麼地分開，
事實上我們曾試著重新談一份更好的合約
但最終我們彼此都同意釋放他將會是最好的作法

We will miss you very much, Ho Joon, and we wish you nothing but the best.
There’s no doubt in our minds that you’ll see success again in the future,
and it will be very strange to see you sporting a different jersey.

我們將會很想念你，希望你的未來能夠再次成功。


內容講得很溫馨，不過大意就是Puma的戰績實在是不好所以就掰啦....
