I don't quite understand these drafts. For example, does T8 & ACE not picking anyone mean they simply don't have the money to pay for another progamer or what? In theory, usually the weakest teams should get the biggest advantage in drafts, right? And here they offer the #1 player to the #1 team, which seems so weird.
ACE has their own draft, comprised solely of progamers who enter the military. They are never in competition with any other team for members. If you're in the military ACE is the only option. Team 8 I assume don't take part because they have no sponsor to pay for any extra player salaries.

Why the PL champion is the first to pick?
Not sure how much it helps his career prospects though since he'll be behind Last and Bogus rather than just Fantasy.
Yourosia was the first player picked because none of the others teams before SKT's turn picked up anyone in round 1 (each draft has 5 rounds). After he rejected SKT, in round 2, STX picked Yourosia.
It's not that Kespa "offered" the #1 player to the #1 team. It's that there's an understanding that you don't pick the other teams' trainees unless the player rejects the team's offer or the team passes on him. Yourosia was an SKT trainee.

also - if this is only the first half, then there's still the 2nd one right ? 
that means more rookies to pick ! so its going to be more than 9

this is pretty exciting ^_^ thanks ryo

Why they pick up new players but let  HiyA unemployed 
|
It's good to see that teams are still picking up bw rookies.
|
Probably bc they aren't paying the new players and hiya's salary was relatively high?
|
I am really surprised and shocked that CJ didn't pick anyone up

I'm just guessing, but maybe CJ didn't pick anyone up because their current lineup is choc-a-block full of A-team material atm, and a rookie might not have a realistic chance of getting a proleague game, and maybe they feel they already have enough B teamers?
I mean their current lineup sports: Hydra, Effort, Leta, Snow, Movie, Horang2. It's hard to see anyone else getting a game in edgewise. They might want a truly scary ace rather than more solid contributors.

Is Movie still on CJ? I thought he was a Free Agent

Ahh I forgot about that, although I don't think anyone has picked him up yet? What happens if noone picks him up, does he stay on cj?
But yeah even without movie, that is still a pretty hefty lineup, plus they have Skyhigh in reserve, which admittedly might not be A-team material right now :p
|
I think if no one picks him up, he might re-sign with CJ or go to ACE? or retire =(
It makes me sad that skyhigh is slumping.

Still a crazy decision (from a fanboy perspective) not to go to SKT!
I wonder how he'll do with another team.

Makes fine sense for a rookie to go to a lesser team since that means more breakthroughs
And STX has fielded alot of rookies and has probally has the most diverse lineup, I can't blame him for rather wanting to go there.
Does anyone about new maps for the new season?

I think it's a matter of salary. Hiya said in his last interview that he tried to get onto a team, but the team declined since they disagreed on how high his salary should be, so he ended up retiring.
