What is Poaching that has been heard a lot lately?

Let's take a quick look at the topic that has come to the fore in the past days.



The concept, which has existed in the sports world for years and is called Poaching or Player Poaching, has come to the fore again in the esports world in our country after the events in the past days. Because of these events, we decided to take a look again.

What is poaching? What does it mean?

According to the Cambridge dictionary, the English word poaching means “poaching; poaching on private land” and “(customer, employee) seducing, deceiving;

In the world of sports, this concept is mostly used to mean that a team secretly reaches a player and makes various offers without informing the team he is currently a member of. This behavior, which is not considered ethical, has come up many times in the esports world.

Poaching has been on the agenda before

With the announcement made by the Lolespor management in May 2020, the mid laner player of the SuperMassive League Of Legends team Onur “Bolulu” Demirol and the SuperMassive general manager Ulaş Gülkirpik, independently of each other, that a player with a league-approved active contract with another team and the aforementioned player are affiliated. It was announced that they were penalized for communicating for transfer purposes without the permission of the team management.

Abroad, in 2016, an event took place between Echo Fox and Phoenix1 teams on this subject, and Riot Games published a special statement and shared information about the scope of the concept of poaching.
