Kespa for #1 powerrank. He's the only player to completely dominate Jaedong!

If what the reports are true, it shows that although Jaedong's a SC genius, he's still a naive kid. By saying he wishes to stay at Oz above all else, he pretty much gave Oz the right to just murder him in the contract negotiations. The system is already made it impossible for other teams to bid on star players. Jaedong gave away whatever little leverage he had left.

It's too bad Jaedong's at a period in his life that he still doesn't understand the concept of money. Hopefully it won't hurt his future. It seems he's a nice, hardworking kid. And he really doesn't deserves to be screwed like this.

yea well, remember KeSPA also made the "thou shalt not have agents" rule. if Jaedong had an agent, things would have worked out better.

Kespa has gone to far already. Free agency is crap. Poor jaedong is probably the most dedicated player of them all, and he doesnt even have the choice to stay or go. This must be breaking his poor heart .

If jaedong retires for a year, anyone who wins MSL or OSL wouldn't mean a shit.. Jaedong is the main attractive of competitive bw atm. Losing him would be a HUGE blow.

Well, if he simply just shut up and let his parents do the talking, it would've been better. The problem is that there's absolutely zero advantage to Jaedong, when he said that he wishes to return to Oz. I can't imagine Oz not matching whatever the highest bidder asked for.

On a side note, Korean netizens have the wrong idea about the whole "Free auction" thing. The system is the furthest thing from an actual auction. The current system stops player movement period, lowers competition for services, and allows teams to retain their own players for below market value.

If anything, an auction would be BETTER than the current system. Because an auction encourages bidding and therefore raises the salaries of players.

Yeah, seriously. Jaedong might've taken a beating in PL finals from Fantasy, but he gave it right back in OSL semis. Only KeSPA can claim to have completely owned Lee Jae Dong.

While feeling bad for Jaedong, I really hope for all of programmings sake that his parents stand firm and retire their son. That would force Kespa to review their current rules.

Aside from all the KeSPA BS, I'm actually pretty surprised at how honorable the teams were in this process. 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.

Claiming it's because they are respecting Jaedongs wishes are form of good media relations in my own eyes. Kespa and the proleague-management have a long history of exploiting young inexperienced players for their own advantage.

That none of the other teams have made an offer means that he's either
(1) to expensive to sign (beacuse of the "play tripple for FAs" rule), or
(2) that the teams cooperate to keep player-wages low.

(Probably the last one, since go.go was the only FA offered a new contract.)

Both explanations are unacceptable.

If JD becomes a semi-pro couldn't he be scouted and would he still be able to play in indvidual leagues? Also I would ROFL so hard watching him DESTROY semi-pro leagues.
