Have ForGG and Luxury been with KT less than a year? How come they both are FA? I think they signed one-year contract at least.
No more SKT1, it's SKP2.

Damn, Jaedong up for grabs. If he bolts, OZ is screwed.

Anyways, here's to Jaedong fleeing to T1. Fantasy/Jaedong/Bisu would be sick, if they could retain Bisu and grab JD.

But then there'd be no point of watching SC. Who wants to see one team destroy all?

IIRC the factors are #1) you have to meet the minimum requirement for length of time playing and #2) have to play in a certain % of your team's Proleague games during that time (1v1 or 2v2 both count).

I guess technically he's still under contract with KT, as evidenced by his sporting their uni during eStars.

Here's the bit describing what makes a player eligible for FA, from the Korean News Flash article that was all about it last year:

I wonder if there's any advantage in negotiations for the original team. Or is this a pure free market where players have 100% freedom in choosing their teams.

Personally, I just wish Samsung can retain Stork/Jangbi. It would be awesome if they can get solid terran like Sea or Light though.
Meh

PL needs team salary caps like in other pro sports so the rich teams can stop stealing all the best players..

I can't believe I'm saying it but after all these years I think it's finally time for NaDa to shake things up and join another team. I have always been an avid supporter of Toona/Pantech/WeMade but he needs some new practice partners and a new atmosphere maybe. I know it's a hell of a longshot that he would be let go at this point but still.

I'd like to see him go to Samsung Khan or CJ Entus(Entus more for opportunities rather than me being a fan). Khan would provide him with some fantastic Protoss training partners and give Khan a boost to its terrible terrans.

But realistically he's probably going to retire soon at this rate and maybe it would be better for him to stay with his team through the end.

Either way I'm happy XD. But, I would like to see some things shaken up. I'm sort of sick of how stagnant the teams seem in terms of rosters.

Yarnc is the obvious choice for SKT, I think. He should be much cheaper than JD (even if he wins the OSL, unless it's in a really ridiculous, flagrantly bm ceremony where he makes JD/fantasy look like a fastest comp stomp player), and SKT's current weakness is their v T - the elo of Fantasy and Bisu might say otherwise, both are great v Z and v P , but have definite moments of weakness in vT.

Right now if they face Flash or CJ(any team with top class tvt and tvp), they wouldn't have an ideal player for the ace match, Fantasy got torn apart by Flash their last game, and Iris/Skyhigh would laugh at Fantasy, basically, while Bisu wouldn't be as sure as you would want.
Yarnc's top class zvz would hopefully be able to help hyuk/thezerg as well.

FBH or go.go going to stars would benefit both parties, I think.

It's kind of funny that most of the things said in the first post are still true despite it being so long ago.

(Although fingerboom's main problem is no longer protoss, it's now getting consistent players of any race besides Flash + Violet).

Are stork/jangbi ever likely to split apart? I could see another team in theory luring one of them away for some reason, but not both. January might be willing to throw them overboard as well based on the rumors towards the end of R5. I think Jangbi would benefit from a different environment, as I think it's clear that while he has the potential to go much further, it isn't manifesting itself on khan and he's been sort of stagnant recently.
