Jaedong can stay in Oz, but Oz should pickup a decent player :E

This is just what me thinks, but here's what I think is the reason to Coach CHo's douchebaggery:
Because of the new stupid FA rules, if a team wants to take a player away from another team, they either have to pay 200% of their suggested salary from his original team, PLUS his new salary, or 100% of their suggested salary and give up a player to that team (they can sanction 6, and then the other team can pick any player except those 6) PLUS his new salary. That means in order to take Jaedong, a team must pay either 2*140M + 200M or 140M + 200M + player, which comes out to 340M and a player or 480M in pure money. No team in the right mind would be paying that. It is jaedong, but in such a volatile scene where bonjwas come and go so quickly, it would be crazy to shell out nada's 3 years worth of salary to get 1 player for a year. So it will probably go to renegotiations with coach Cho aka douchebag, and Jaedong will be forced to take the crappy deal, albeit being the greatest player in the starcraft scene today. Coach Cho offered 140M, which is just enough to make the cost of Jaedong too high for other teams to take, and knowing that Jaedong wanted to stay on the team, he is using that to pay Jaedong the minimal amount of money. DOUCHEBAG i am so mad

edit: I decided to include players receiving around Jaedong's range just for reference, so you can see why I am so mad.
Bisu: estimated 250M+ fantasy: estimated 200M+ flash: estimated 200M+ Calm: 130M Nada: 110M Kal: 100M Hwasin: 100M


Jaedong's parents have the right reaction -- it's an insult for the arguably best player in the scene to be making so little compared to the other players. Especially considering how overworked he is compared to other top players, and he still puts up the good results.

Jaedong just wants to be happy which is a good outlook (and I'm sure it contributes to his success as well), but he is being "cheated" and I'm glad his parents are sticking up for him.

Oh, this interview puts his free agency into a whole new perspective, i thought it was him declaring himself as one in the first place.
I guess he will just get a payrise and stay in Oz.

Normally I wouldn't approve of parent's going against the will of their son like this but you also have to bear in mind the east asian culture when talking about this. It's possible that Jaedong isn't as thanksful and wanting to stay in his team as he says. Giving respect to an older person or ones coachs etc is expected in all of east asia.

Think about it. If Jaedong really wanted to leave and felt his time was done in OZ then what would he say? He wouldn't go out into the media saying he's tired of his team and time to move on etc etc. He'd say just what he is saying now and then he would keep his honor towards the team.

It's of course more likely that he wants to stay with his friends are the ones who heleped him grow as a player but lets not rule out anything. I doubt he is happy about his parents being made to look like heartless moneygrubbing bastards though.

Why can't jaedong (at least his mom) deny all offers and finally turn to be semi-pro (without any team). After that he is free to sign contract whichever team he wants without huge salary bonuses to Hwaseung Oz?

Then other teams might offer 200M without 200% salary.

Its not like Jaedong would not be picked up by some team.

I don't see how Oz wouldn't be willing to pay Jaedong at least 200M won. You figure they'd lose more money than that if he left the team. But I guess they figure they can lowball him and still keep him.

Urge to make Homo for Lomo joke rising. This is an interesting dilemma really. I hope Jaedong comes out of the whole FA situation happily and that he can continue to play in the way he wants to.

I felt really bad for Jaedong when I was watching this:

His mom is doing the right thing. It is his career, he needs to go where he will get paid what he's worth and have the best chance of success. I honestly think Jaedong would have won the osl, msl and the proleague if he had been on any of the other teams that made the proleague playoffs.
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.

Because you are pretty much unable to compete in any leagues if you are classed as 'semi-pro' until the next FA period next year.

So if a team pays say 180 000 000 won for jaedong.


They would have to pay 200% of the current 90 000 000 Won salary to Oz?

The 140M figure I believe is the new offer, it would be even more insulting if Oz didn't offer Jaedong some sort of pay raise which means his original salary was less than 140M.

probably a newbie question but how do teams generate revenue? does proleague or individual league success translate to more $$ for the successful teams?

Hmm, I thought I read 70M in this thread before. Oh well, doesn't make that much of a difference either way. Must have been a 2+ year contract from when he was good in PL, but way less of a monster than he is now.

PL title gives a fair amount of money (not sure about this year, but the last few years it was 80M), but that's only for the team winning it all.
In the most of the money simply comes in form of sponsorship by the companies owning the teams.

I've been a fan of oz but these negotations with JD completely turned me off to oz. Oz realizes there are only a few teams that have the resources to pay for JD with the terrible free agent signing rules and those few teams that have that kinda cash dont have as much a need for JD as other teams. Now i do believe Coach Cho has limited control over these negotiations since Hwaseung is paying and they have complete control over what goes on so i wouldnt call him a douchebag. I hope this is the case or its just so wrong. Oz would be nothing without JD and hes obviously the best players in pro sc atm and he deserves to be paid like one.

Jaedong should earn base salary 200M+ won. Period. Anything less is a pure disgrace. Transfer to another team if you have to, OZ shouldn't be running a pro-league team if they can't shell out 200M won for the best player.
the throws never bothered me anyway
