KeSPA announced 2011's FA players.

(T)Flash
(P)BeSt
(T)Lomo
(P)Pure
(T)CuteAngel

Not much to say. Pretty sure not other team is gonna be able to outbid KT for Flash. Best might get a drop in salary for his spectacular finals fail? xD All speculation from me of course.

No official translation or anything, if anyone has anything to add PM and I'll add to OP.

I was given to understand that FA means the players can seek better contracts. In STX's case, all players are available for trade. Not the same thing.

Some team should buy Lomo, Pure, and CuteAngel.

(I don't want to lose Lomo though!)

I hope Pure gets a brighter future, SC2 or otherwise, the ranks of WemadeFox have always looked a bit empty ever since Nada left.

by.sun more clutch than BeSt, SKT can sell him off. LOL kidding aside, there are teams that could use a half-decent Protoss like Hwaseung Oz (mentorship along with Anytime) and WeMadeFox (Mentorship for Wooki)

I think the most likely to get a new team would be BeSt. KT will outbid anyone for Flash, no questions asked.

I don't see Flash, Best, and Lomo changing teams. CuteAngel is retiring right? and someone mentioned Pure might switch to SC2? Hmmmm.

Although I doubt that Flash will be outbid by any other team other than KT, the possibility of him being bought out is still quite intriguing to think about.

I'm sure that Best will be a strong player no matter which team he ends up on, though it'll be sad if he leaves SKT1.

Lomo, Pure, and CuteAngel seem quite mediocre as of late, and they thus seem to be likely candidates for switching over to SC2 if they don't get a good deal from being free agents. Though it would be fine if none of them switch, it would nonetheless be interesting if they do.

I assume nobody will outbid SKT/KT for BeSt and Flash, respectively, though I suppose it's vaguely possible SKT lets BeSt walk.

Of the other three, the only one with a demonstrated peak high enough to be worth anything is Pure, and he's old enough that I don't see him moving - not to mention I'm not sure there's another team he'd be as valuable to as WeMade anyway.

KT - Stats, Violet?
SKT - Bisu, BeSt, Sun
CJ - Horang2, Movie, Snow
WJN - free... Guemchi?
KHAN - Stork, Jangbi, Grape, Brave
STX - Shuttle, Kal? Trap?
OZ - Anytime, shy/sky
MBC - Jaehoon, Tyson

Stars is the shakiest, but Pure's not going to add anything even so.

I don't think anything big will come from this. Flash's price will be too high for any team besides KT. Lomo, Pure and Frozen are all pretty bad these days so I don't think anyone will miss them even if they switch teams or retire. BeSt is an intriguing option. With Sun and Paralyze SKT doesn't need to keep BeSt and I could see a team with a weak protoss line or needing a strong vTerran player making an offer. Nonetheless I feel like SKT values BeSt more than other teams would since they are one of the few teams with the depth that can hide BeSt's PvZ mediocrity. Other teams would be wary of making too big of an offer for a player who can be sniped so easily.

I think T1 could outbid KT but there is too much loyalty there for anything to actually happen.

Pretty lackluster list for FA

There's is 100% no way anyone takes Flash from KT. That'd be like someone taking Tom Brady off the Patriots.

Free Agency usually means a player's contract is up and he is free to check the market with absolutely no complications, but Kespa has some weird compensation system that makes it extra costly just to sign a free agent, for no reason other than absolute control over players. Kind of disgusting, but what ya gonna do?

Best is more than a half-decent protoss. Pure is decent. Best is great.

Surfing around the Broodwar forums two days after the big finals is just no smart move if you don't want to get spoilered.

For the players: I think Pure is very good, despite his current bad streak. I think he will be valueable for any team that gives him a chance.

Khan really doesn't need another toss on their lineup. WeMade and Stars are the ones starving for a solid protoss player, Oz would be #3 imo, they at least have up and comers.

I don't see a possibility of someone transferring to another team. Flash is too good for KT to let go, and I'm sure he himself would refuse to play for another team, and the others are not worth a trade(BeSt might be worth a good offer, but he's in a slump, and might go into a deeper, longer slump after THAT).

Trade Best for Wooki ... even though I like best, seriously I think a team like woongjin or oz should try and get Best, maybe him being in the ace spot will actually motivate him to play to his potential (protoss ace that is)
I don't need luck, luck is for noobs, good luck to you though

The retirement of these players would have no effect on the BW scene. It may get slightly better, but that's it.


Everyone has fans dude...

Pure did well in KA OSL S1
Lomo is Hwaseung's 2nd Terran
Frozean 3 Killed in WL

They've been on their team's PL roster for a while now, it would be wrong to say that they wouldn't be missed.

Looks like Frozean's going according to this thread? But I hope the other 2 stay on with BW.

It would be nice to see best in oz. With that lineup Jd, Killer, Hiya, Best they could do much better. Oz got problems with players cuz they got only 3 decent ones + dont have got any toss.

Skt dont need best anyway they can replace him with 2-3 another players.

Will be interesting to see what happens to BeSt, though it's 95% SKT again.
BeSt is the only one on SKT you can tolerate oftentimes if you are a Bisu-antifan.. and fantasy because his games are either horrendous or very well played

If Lomo leaves, Jaedong will be said :<

BeSt has been @ SKT his entire career, right? Hard to see him leaving, though it is certainly possible. Would like to see him at Wemade/Stars/Oz.

Flash is not going anywhere. That's for certain.

Don't know what'll happen to Pure and Cuteangel. Neither of those two seem to be a especially good fit in the other teams...

Without a seriously good trade, I don't see BeSt going anywhere. He may have bit the dust the past couple games, but he is still a fairly good players, definitely not one you throw away.

What is this shit about BeSt?
Look at the man's record.
Aside from the finals, he is well above average.
SKT would be foolish to let him go. He's a known, good player and when he's on a hot streak he's incredible.
All: 159-118 (57.40%

Well above 1/2 and his only "bad" matchup is PvZ and to be fair, almost all Protoss are having issues in PvZ right now, with a lot of one base attempts to see if the matchup can be changed because Hydras are straight wrecking balls currently.

I don't see anyone moving. Lomo and pure aren't good enough anymore, Best will be way too expensive considering how good he is, and Flash is just way too expensive period. I could see frozen to oz, but I think he will stay retired.

Edit: if a trade was to happen, I would guess Best to Stars, which would make me sad.

But I feel like changing teams would make his situation even worse.
Lomo should pick it up right now and step up now that OZ isnt overshadowed by Jaedong anymore.
JangBi will go the finals.

If you're counting just this year, he's 12-17 (41%). If you count from the start of this season of PL (including individual leagues), he's 21 wins - 24 losses (46.67%). He performed well below average all season, last season he only performed at his average, 57% win rate, which is pretty good. I doubt they'll offer him anything too spectacular considering his most recent performance and I think there's a small, but significant, possibility he will leave SKT.

Flash will stay on KT, BeSt will stay on SKT.

Jaedong should leave Oz, I bet he would become a monster again if he joined a better team. Dont know how long his contract with Oz is though.

He resigned in August or September 2009. It's probably a minimum 2 year contract, since he isn't on this free agent list. Does anyone know the terms of the contract he signed during the 2009 FA?

And BeSt on SKT is the most likely scenario, but there's a nonzero chance he'd go to another team.

Im pretty sure it'll be a boring free agency period this year. KT will keep Flash, SK will keep Best, unless another team really wants to bid for a better Protoss.

I think that STX will get rid of Kal, and replace him with BeSt. That's just my thought.

Flash probably will stay in KT, Definetly not going to SKT.

Regarding Flash's salary - it's a mistranslation from the chinese websites.

You can refer to http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=257877&currentpage=4#63

Likely outcomes:

Flash, Best and Lomo to renew contracts with their teams.
Pure to apply for ACE
Frozen will either apply for ACE or try something else other than progaming.

I don't think anything big will come from this. Flash's price will be too high for any team besides KT. Lomo, Pure and Frozen are all pretty bad these days so I don't think anyone will miss them even if they switch teams or retire. BeSt is an intriguing option. With Sun and Paralyze SKT doesn't need to keep BeSt and I could see a team with a weak protoss line or needing a strong vTerran player making an offer. Nonetheless I feel like SKT values BeSt more than other teams would since they are one of the few teams with the depth that can hide BeSt's PvZ mediocrity. Other teams would be wary of making too big of an offer for a player who can be sniped so easily.

FA = Free Agency. Basically, player's contracts expire, and if they don't get re-signed with their original team or something, they become free agents.

No, that's not what FA means in pro BW. You become an FA if you fulfill certain criteria (like being a pro for 3 years and playing a certain number of games etc.) and your contract is up for renewal. It doesn't mean your team isn't going to re-sign you.

I didn't know about the 3 year and number of games requirement. My bad.

Also, I think I stated what I was thinking incorrectly, being half asleep as I am. -_-. I thought they only became free agents if the initial negotiations with the original team didn't work out.

Yeah, there are some other criteria too but I'm not familiar with those. Anyway, no FA has ever moved teams so it's largely a formality.

I'd bet that there is a player for every word in the dictionary by now if you count every name, pro or amateur or casual, that has been entered into Starcraft since the game's release.

UPDATE
(T)Flash and (P)BeSt re-signed with their current teams
(T)CuteAngel has chosen to retire
(P)Pure doesn't have a team to re-sign with so he automatically becomes FA, awaiting results
(T)Lomo without first negotiating with hwaseung is FA - he'll await calls from other teams b/w the 26th and 28th; if nothing works out, on 9/1-9/2 he'll have to enter negotiations with hwaseung again

yeah best of luck to Frozean for whatever he chooses to do next. He may have been a pretty easy target for jokes but he's been a pro for like 7 years so that deserves a lot of respect

Wait, this means Oz isnt disbanding? But they are the only non-corporate team at the moment, thus subject of the worry..?

Edit:
Lomo is not retiring yet. He has until 2nd Sept to renegotiate with Oz. If they don't come to an agreement, maybe then he'll decide to retire.

I thought Lomo had until the 28th as FA, then had to go renegotiate with Oz.

I desperately hope he's not retiring.
