EPTAlthough we can't really compare to Nada's salary from a few years back for example, without knowing how the viewer ratings of starcraft and other aspects which are important to the sponsors have changed.

This actually is exactly what I was thinking. | ||

Hwasung could do something underhanded and bribes a team that doesn't have the money to pick Jaedong up to make a ridicules offer forcing Jaedong to stay where he is. this is completely invalidated by the fact that Hwaseung has already announced the terms of the offer that they will make to Jaedong if he comes back from the FA period without a contract. In other words, they have politely already promised not to game the system and give him a pay cut. | ||

I totally understand the move of go.go. Compared to the ability he's been displaying recently he hasn't gotten enough playtime in Sparkyz. If hite Sparkyz wants to keep their captain Justin active, they cannot afford to field go.go too often either. Therefore, he's kind of a mismatch. Arnac is good enough to handle any terran, Horang2 a PvP specialist, while Leta is stable in all of his matchups. Conclusion: Sparkys needs a good ZvP and PvZ. PvZ: There aren't any good PvZs out on the market. Well, there arent any good PvZs at all atm (except for Bisu) and I do think hite has a PvZ is on the way in the form of Tazza. ZvP: The perfect match would be July for obvious reasons, unfortunately he's not available. Who then, if not... + Show Spoiler + HyuN? + Show Spoiler + No. Someone else... + Show Spoiler + ...Jaedong!? + Show Spoiler + Well, he wouldn't be a terrible choice. | ||

1. The obvious one... + Show Spoiler + olleh KT (Fingerboom) The obvious team is KTs with their history of buying players. Flash is also being overworked since Luxury hasn't been pulling his weight. Another so far unmentioned reason is their new name. With a new name comes an opportunity to start anew and build a stronger, better KT. A player of Jaedongs caliber would give KT a much needed boost. 2. I hope you haven't forgotten a recent namechange!? + Show Spoiler + hite Sparkyz The naming rights being sold to the Korean 'Hite' Beer company should result in better economy for the team. The beer company also has a history of sponsoring sporting-events and players. This means Hite Beer and isn't likely to play a passive role in the teams future. Using the capital injection to acquire new players is a feasible option. 3. This would be tragic :-( + Show Spoiler + SK Telecom T1 SKT1s lacks a top level zerg player and isn't afraid of bribing anyone into joining their ranks. That being said, I think it would be a mistake trying to recruit Jaedong, bad for both the team and general proleague play. Having one dominant team equals less competion for the players and boring season. This will in turn lead to a smaller audience watching the wonderful game of starcraft. | ||

The best players will have tough schedules in any team, and meddling parents have brought more harm than help before. But if his team can't afford to pay market value it makes sense to move of course. Although we can't really compare to Nada's salary from a few years back for example, without knowing how the viewer ratings of starcraft and other aspects which are important to the sponsors have changed. How is she greedy? When you look at jaedong's results/salary compared to other players it's very obvious he's being underpaid. How have "meddling parents" brought more harm and help before? Provide an example? | ||

Yes, if you think about it, he's guaranteed at least 140 mil plus 60 mil+ bonus salary every year by Hwaseung. So I don't think the other Company would be stupid enough to bid high but with stupidly high x amount of years. However, something like this for example, can be a tough offer for Jaedong: Hwaseung guarantees: 140,000,000 for 1 year Let's say that SKT T1 offers: 380,000,000 for 3 years (which is 126 mil a year) Then Jaedong has to decide which would be the better offer. It would be just like a gamble. SKT T1's offer is more steady but say Jaedong continues to do well, he can possibly receive a better and higher contract next year or so. And if he performs poor then it'll be the opposite. | ||
