Whatever the number is, I'm sure SKT would try to top it. I doubt it matters, Jaedong IS Hwaseung OZ, and for him to jump ship for the team he just lost to would seem completely out of character. I'm sure he wants to beat SKT next Proleague, and we all know revenge is something you can't put a price tag on.

heh, I just realized the negociation system for this Free Agency is basically the same as the NFL's restricted free agency period. Only difference being teams that lose their top players through this get no compensation in the form of high draft picks in the next draft T-T. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer - that is if players are actually willing to switch teams for the extra cash.

Jaedong: "Cho, get better players or I leave Oz and get you guys screwed."

SKT1: "We'll give you a better schedule.... and sleep! "

Jaedong: "Later guys!"

Of course, one can dream but Jaedong won't leave Oz because he IS Oz, if he loses Oz loses.

Hwaseung may be willing to spend more on Jaedong as they've even used him with their shoe advertisements, so there's so brand association.

But if I were a player, I'd take money over any sentimental attachment to my team. I suppose if it was due to my team's training and nurturing that I became super skilled, I may feel some obligation, but other than that, not my problem. Teams look after themselves, players look after themselves.

It'd be crazy to see Jaedong on SKT1, though. I'm actually not looking forward to it. You might as well declare proleague over, Jaedong/Fantasy/Bisu would will 3 games on most nights, and on the nights one of the loses, Canata/Best can back things up. If this really comes to pass, salary caps/penalties need to come into play.

I can just imagine how cool a JD/Fantasy/Bisu line-up would be.

imho none of these best players will switch teams. Every team knows that if they want to do anything, they need to have atleast 1 extremely good player. Jaedong proved that this season, and I believe that OZ will do everything just to keep him while SKT doesn't really need him. They would be stronger with him but they can probably buy 2-3 good players for Jaedong price.

yarnc, sea, upmagic, free, and jd are the only people I could possibly imagine trying to switch teams

And even then, upmagic and free seem like a longshot.

If Jaedong switches teams, he might start sucking like 90% of all the other players who switched teams. Even Bisu was bad for a while after he went to SKT1.

Some Fomos news report said FA negotiation starts tomorrow along with the the mid-year draft. It will be done by Sep 3 (?)

I can be wrong that the last lines said 50 million WON (something US$40K) annual salary cap rule (per player I guess) doesn't apply for FA.

Bisu was slumping before he left MBC.. and slumped for another ~4-5 months after coming to SKT before turning on the switch last October when ClubDay + GOM S2 started.

Anyway, the more I think about it (and seeing you guys debate it), I think SKT is probably gonna get Yarnc. I'd say the second/third most probable would be either Saint or calm. I don't think they would go with an unproven zerg (as we all know how those turn out....). Saint would probably be a preferable choice since he has ties with Coach Park, Bisu, and thezerg from MBC. Yarnc is the most probably though I think... but I wouldn't be surprised with one of the other two.


Mr Hoon: thx for the netizen trans. Hilarious.

If SKT gets Saint, everyone's going to say that MBC is SKT's farm/bitch, something of the sort

In the end, money talks. Apparently, SK and KT has much more of it than anyone else.

You mean they aren't ALREADY SK's farm team? SKT1 only has their entire coaching staff and their best player. And this is even excluding July.
