I hope JD does retire and forces a change in the rules.

Besides, how blind is the league? Having legitimate free agency would give the sport so much more interest.

Just need a JD icon. Problem solved. I imagine most people with a Oz icon now likely don't know much of the roster anyway.

I would totally use that icon too. That's actually a great idea

First of all Jaedong is a grown ass man and has the power to make his own choices.

It would probably be better for the kid to retire than be cock blocked by Oz and these absolutely TERRIBLE FA rules.

KeSPA needs to learn to do some damn research before radically changing the way something works. This is not the way Free Agency is supposed to work.
Python is garbage, number 1 advocate of getting rid of it.

If i were JD i would say fuck you OZ and retire if he doesnt get at least 200 million won. Oz is so damn greedy and they should of jumped all over the supposed 170-180 million won JD and family were willing to sign for and kiss his feet. I would stop giving 2 shits about sc and wait till sc2 comes out if JD isnt playing anymore since who really wants to see Effort carrying the zerg. Fuck that.

In the end im pretty sure kespa wont allow JD to retire and will make sure he signs with some team and resolve this since he generates too much cash for them.

I'm hoping Jaedong would quit too. If he quits I'm sure DogSPA/Hwaesung will shit their pants and finally increase the salary for him because anything under 200k is clearly underpaid.

If Jaedong doesn't quit, things will look much worse:
- Hwaesung can pay him whatever they want and he can't even neg it up. Hell it would be even lucky if the bosses kept their 140k offer.
- Other progamers will never dare to do the same thing which makes this job even shittier.
- Fans will be so angry and it will hurt progaming sooner or later. The overall quality of the games and leagues now are still good thanks to the great pool of players, but who knows if in the next seasons things get worse (because of some crap maps, repetitive gameplay, mirror finals, Korea gets into FIFA World Cup quarter finals and stealing all the focus etc.). Many people may just decide to stop following Starcraft all together.

I would much rather see JaeDong playing in a pro team than him being a semi-pro and wait till the next FA. I really don't like his parents for forcing him to this position, especially when JaeDong already said he wants to stay with Oz.
Hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment

It's kinda fucked up that it feels like Oz is depending on Jaedong's love of his team to be able to keep him around and offer him a crap salary.

It's like because you care about your team, that same team can rob you blind.

caring about the people on a team is not the same as caring for the people who sign your checks and vice versa

Everyone on FA should just continue to move to semi-pro until Kespa is like, "oh wtf we have no players to slave drive anymore lololzozlozlolzl"
if I come without a thing, then I come with all I need @tonightsend

I think you're right. JAEDONG SHOULD BOYCOTT KESPA AND BECOME A HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST! He'll be the Rosa Parks of e-sports nerds.

wow being a millionaire in korea isn't enough... is that how fucked up WON is? 180 mil is just 200k in US? I think that is actually big enough to compensate him for another 10 years (or I'm just being idiotic here)
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a
