but for the PL... boring... and no more epic JD vs fantasy or JD vs bisu outside of the starleagues... would be a loss for sure.

fantasy would poison jaedong imo chemistry on that team would suck hard core.

First one's not happening. I hope OZ picks up another zerg now that Jaedong is departing.

Negotiation with current team will take place on August 12th through 20th.
Other teams excluding current team will place bids between August 21st through 25th.
Re-negotiation with current team will be from August 28th through 31st.

Combining this with the op it leaves us at:

KT - (T)

Shine
SKTelecom - (T)

Midas
Hwaseung - (Z)

Jaedong
Samsung - none
MBCGame - (Z)

HyuN
CJ - none
Hite - (T)

go.go
Estro - none
STX - (P)

SoO (I think? Didn't see him mentioned in the op)
WeMade - none
Woongjin - none

That's not a whole lot of players...
Jaedong is really the only very interesting one. I personally care about Midas, because he was once really fucking good, so I hope he gets a good team and shows us a bit of a resurgence. The other players are pretty meh. Shine joined KT not too long ago actually..., looks like another failed KT transfer to me.

iirc the reason why Nal_ra didn't opt was because he was still commentator or something

Don't think he'll leave KT FINGERBOOM anyway

...or will he

?

What makes you so sure jaedong will leave oz? Keep in mind Oz has a huge advantage when it comes to contract negotiations thanks to kespa's fucked up rules.

Look, JaeDong has been so successful in Oz that I don't see any reason for him to switch teams. If anything he would go into a slump kinda like Bisu for a while when he moved to SKT1. And theres no telling if he can comeback like Bisu. Yes, hes the only good player on Oz but I believe that motivates him to practice more. Hes probably alot more comfortable in Oz too considering hes been there for so long. Apart from that hes considered a superstar because hes the only good player on Oz. I feel that JaeDong's parents are just being stupid and ungrateful. JaeDong moving to another team is as dumb as sAviOr moving out of CJ. It just doesn't suit them. Imagine seeing JaeDong in an MBCHero uniform.(which is probably the team that is most likely to sign him considering their abysmal performance after Bisu and July left and considering they are the second richest and accomplished team in the league)

As for the rest of the teams. I feel STX is paying a good price for all their players. Some people may think that Hwasin and Kal are overpaid but if you look at their results in the proleague they are a worthy investment especially Kal who has really good at PvT. Hwasin is a good zerg sniper and they have July to destroy protoss. If all else fails they have Calm. Hwasin is also very popular amongst fangirls so maybe his pay is for the marketing stuff too.

Im suprised that NaDa is still getting paid so much. I feel that Mind should be earning some of his money considering that Mind is the ace of WeMade right now.

Jaedong can go to any team except SKT1
Fantasy/Bisu/JaeDong will destroy PL

Indeed. Our careers really took off when we went to T1.
