BREAKING NEWS: EVEN LESS THAN WE THOUGHT ACTUALLY CHANGED


Hahaaha I was thinking the same thing!
In the end, everyone just went back to their own teams and FA owned everyone.

This is great news =D.

Good to see Jaedong resigning, but here's the 2nd question: "How much did he sign for?"

So at the end of Free Agency, we have 0 players changing teams, and 1 person retiring. Bravo kespa.

I remember Jaedong saying that he feels like he belongs to OZ, as that's where he started his professional career, so I'm happy for him being where he wonna be. Now if Lomo and Backho would improve a little, they could protentially win the next pro league.

*edit* And happy birthday tomorrow Jaedong! I'm sure you're reading TL ever day.

I think the most critical thing is the length of the contract. He went into the negotiations with NO LEVERAGE. He could either accept the offer or quit, so if it's just a 1-year contract, then I think that this is the ONLY move Jaedong could have done. Otherwise his "challengers" the next season would be in the CSL (heh. hehehehe. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ohh good lord, just thinking about that... hehehe).

This gives him and his parents (which are terrible agents so far) a while until they can (deservedly) bleed Jaedo... I mean Hwaseung Oz dry, or organize a player's strike. As the second most popular sport in South Korea, the top tier players should be making millions of dollars.

A comparison: in Israel, Basketball is the second most popular sport - lagging far behind the first. With many leagues spanning from amateur to pro-level (with the best team being one of the top squads in Europe). Even the greatest superstar in Starcraft makes far less than the top tier players in Israel (not even talking about the superstars).

Israel's total population: under 7 million people. There are no TV channels dedicated to basketball. Average top-tier salary: $400,000 (up to over 3 million for the highest payed player).

South Korea's total population: nearly 50 million people.

It's more than reasonable that due to the massive (in comparison) market, the average top-tier salary should make the players millionaires, but instead Jaedong is making money that should be the average for players that are 4th-5th in their team's rotation. That's the money Hyuk should be making. The players are not getting close to their worth from a sheer economic standpoint... Even if the teams weren't massively backed by corporations. TV channels and advertisers are making a fortune on their backs.

... so yeah, the players aren't poor. This is no sweatshop wage. But it is also extremely unfair. Jaedong should be leading the strike. A player's union is a necessity in this case, and the people who should be organizing this are the veterans and parents of the players, and work to establish a much higher minimum wage, flexible FA and contract rules, revise the draft system, and force KeSPA to include players' representatives in every single internal deliberation.

These are reasonable requests.

How could you have come to TL a week after the OSL Finals, clicked a thread that is obviously about Jeadong, and have expected not to find out whether he won the Golden Mouse?

Fucking stupid.

I'm so relieved he isn't retiring. Now he can still become the best player ever!

Its going from 150m to 300m won.... Im praying its the latter.

And why Nal_rA in the picture? I know he is still under his KTF contract, but isnt he also under a "commentator" contract under MBC?

FA and KeSPA suck hard. All this commotion could have been avoided...

Isn't it weird that pro-athetes/gamers have their salaries publicized... I mean it's always been that way that I can remember but it seems a bit odd. I'm really happy for Jaedong (and for us because losing Jaedong would be a shame!) I have to say though, I really like reading Shine's short little bit of insight into how it feels to be one of the majority of progamers who never achieve much success or glory.

The KT contract with Nal_rA was terminated in this FA.
