Wouldn't trust this yet- makes no sense why it wouldn't be on fomos.


Entirely possible. Just because Oz put in some bonuses doesn't mean they're likely to be reached.

Simple example. If Oz give Jaedong 20 mil for each SL win, technically Jaedong can earn 120 mil from 6 possible SL titles next year. But realistically? No.

How else are they going to get young kids to spend thousands of hours playing a game that they're never likely going to make any money off of? Got to show them the dreams of being a star so they can toil away for free as practice partners and B-teamers.

Glad that Midas went back to SKT T1, was hoping another team would sign him though so he would get more chances to play TT.

This news makes me sad.. i was hoping for a huge uprising against Kespa by Koreans the second the news on the Esports TV of OGN And MBC say: Lee Jae Dong Has failed with negotiations with his former team Hwaseung OZ and has quit being a progamer.

Then again it also makes me happy in the fact that Jaedong will continue his supreme reign on everything that is starcraft.
Would cause more bad then good :C

Fuckin A'. If they screw jaedong out of the money he rightfully deserves, I'll call the wrath of the swarm upon Hwaseung.

The OZ icon stays here for now.

And WTF about the Free Agency? They should call it the "Free Agency Kabuki Dance" what it is. A lot of smoke and mirrors and large dick up the player's asses.

If the bonuses are anything like their original ones, Jaedong will easily meet them all.

"[News]Jaedong successfully negotiates w/Hwaseung!"

I think this is kind of a misinterpretation. Of course Oz would resign him if his parents let him. Should be more along the lines of:

His parents gave in: Jaedong stays with Oz, salary unknown.

Man this FA has completely failed. How many players have actually been traded?! Oh well it's good to hear that Midas and Hyun were able to renegotiate something and continue to play.

Suprise no other team bidded on him. He is hands down the best zerg in the league. ZvZ and ZvP is almost a free win for the team that buys him.

300 mil for Jaedong sounds completely bogus. Jaedong's parents just asked for 180 mil, why would Oz deny that, and then come back and offer JD 300 mil after no other team picked him up?

150 + 50 bonus mil sounds a lot more likely.

It depends how you see that. Before NaDa has the double of JD's salaray given that achievements he did. Jaedong can be in the same case. Now he has the gold mouse and he is ready he can win another OSL again. Thanks to him, Hwseung improved a lot. So he really diserves more I guess.

I'm not saying he doesn't DESERVE it, but why would Hwaesung Oz offer him 300 mil when he and his parents were going to be happy with 180 mil?
