In short, this "Jaedong fiasco" may be exactly what is needed to break KESPA's monopoly on e-sports once and for all. And...to quote a famous SKT1 player coach, the destruction of KESPA is necessary "for the development of e-sports." Good riddance, I say... | ||

I wanted Jaedong to go to a better team, but it seems like he really loves his friends at Oz, and taking him away from them wouldn't be good. I hope he gets what he wants. | ||

Imagine if JD wins the golden mouse and then can't even play in the next OSL. Or maybe this would cause OGN to break from KeSPA on this one... and that might be the floodgate break to end the nonsense. | ||

Instead of bidding on Jaedong and forcing him to becoming contracted to them, they instead respected his wishes to stay on Oz (despite parents saying otherwise). Good day for e-sports in this regard. However, FA still sucks. Amen to that. | ||

This is the final straw - if KeSPA's mindless regulations force Jaedong out of the game at his peak, then it will be the end of their monopoly over Korean e-sports. OGN will let him play in the next OSL regardless of what KeSPA says, teams will make sure that he's allowed to keep playing, and even GOM/Blizzard will support him. Here's hoping his mom and dad don't fuck it up for him. | ||

However, FA still sucks. Honorable, my foot. They are looking out for themselves. If they felt that buying Jaedong was worth it to them, they would do it, but they don't want to a) spend a ton of money and b) set a precedent for spending money, especially for a player who may not be as motivated on their team. I also don't know where you get the idea that when a player declares free agency, clearly soliciting bids, it is somehow "honorable" not to bid at all. At best, Jaedong can now take his original contract with Hwaseung, and at worst, they don't even have to offer that anymore. And it's looking just as likely that he won't stay with Oz anyway: he'll just retire or go semi-pro. | ||
