Also, if Jaedong takes a period off, would he still be 'restricted' by oz? Or would he be able to choose his own team next time?

Doesn't Jaedong have a good relationship with OZ and the coach? I dont think OZ will force a crappy contract onto Jaedong now that he is in this situation.

But the FA rules really sucks. It's sad to see the best player currently and over the past 2 years in this situation.

The system in its current form is indeed a travesty. Tx for the translation.

I really hope Jaedong doesn't sign with Oz, FA needs reform now and giving in is not the way to get it.

Whilst it needs a reform, losing (what most consider to be) the best player in the world would be horrible for Starcraft.
Although, I can see hwasung giving into jaedong. I can only speculate, but I'd imagine they'd lose a HUGE amount of their fan base.


Yeah, you'd think they would end up losing money if they dumped JD.

It would be seriously fucked up to see him retire simply because KeSPA doesn't know what the fuck they're doing. This organization is running E-Sports into the ground, and it would be a ridiculously huge blow to watch Jaedong lose his contract because they don't know what free agency actually entails. The whole thing about paying the original team 200% of the original contract is retarded, as that basically destroys the idea of FREE agency in the first place.

The plain and simple fact is that if Jaedong doesn't get resigned to Oz now, a lot of fans are going to be really pissed. Think about it; if Jaedong isn't resigned, he is technically on a lower level than Idra. I'm not saying Idra is bad by any stretch of the imagination (in fact, I'm a pretty big fan), but Jaedong is the best player in the world right now.

Wow, if JD turns into semi-pro he could be the first to win a tourney.

Still this sucks for JD, he is stuck between a rock and a hard place. If OZ wants to they can offer maybe only 80 mill for him cause his only other options are retirement or semi-pro T_T

Screw this FA shit

how does the reigning OSL champion not have a team?
or Jaedong should just not be on a team, so he doesn't play in proleague and then win the starleague triple crown: OSL, MSL, GSL

This was pretty much the second worse possible resolution to JD's free agency claim (The absolute worst solution would be him getting hired by SKT).
Now Jaedong's parents have to choose between seeing their son doing slave work for an absolutely underpriced salary or retire the best player in SC history way before he even reaches his peak.

Oh boy, now imagine what would happen if Hwaseung re-signs Jaedong for undisclosed $$. The community would go nuts. The amount that has been offered him was already low enough, but if Hwaseung chooses to not tell how much Jaedong will be making, every one (including me) is going to assume JD has been robbed blind.

Well, I hope Jaedong goes for some university overseas and sparks the birth of E-SPORTS on the west.

I don't think this decisions is up to the coach.

As much as I think you're right, I'm really hoping Coach Cho has some sort of sway on the decision, or at least some sort of input.

Also how many people would be changing their icons at the bottom right if JD does not re-sign.
