I think for that much money the could drop JD and just get quite a few decent players. Would make much more sense but on the other hand they DID reach the grand finals because of him while other teams with a few decent players didn't.

Should get the draft order by reversing the PL standings. That would be more fair.

Wow... SC players need a players union to combat this. These aren't FA rules and they just fuck the players and let money heavy teams hump the system.

i wouldn't expect unions or any kind of organization when they apparently have no agents and have 2 days of "negotiations."

maybe the parents could organize something, provided that the industry is actually making money.

So the whole thing is about trading players but the other team have to pay twice as much to the original player's salary? Wow, I would rather keep my players this way and make them train harder than trade them and have to pay double.


They just have to pay 2months Salarys to the Original team, ONE time. not forever. The Salary of the bought player isn't mentioned at all. I say that this helps smaller Teams A LOT! I can afford 2 Month Salarys for a good player much easier than "free" prices. Does nobody else than me get this?

//edit: omg it says annual... LOL

*REPAYMENT RULES*
Teams that wish to acquire free agents must A) Repay 200% of the the progamer's annual salary to their original team, or B) Repay 100% of the progamer's annual salary to the original team, and give one player to the original team (excluding six players on their protected players list). Progamers who earn less than 50,000,000 Won a year are excluded from the repayment rule.


Basically a scheme to squeeze out more money.

Damn KeSPA.

Actually it is a way for poor teams to at least get compensation if the big 4 decide to throw around big dollars.

i dont really like this.

to me, some teams have been defined by the composition of certain players. when they all shift around like this, it'll really change things. and it'll be weird

I really hope OZ atleast scores maybe one of the slumping dragons or something. They can't keep hogging the most talented player like this. If OZ didn't have Jaedong they would be at the same level as ESTRO at best.

What this means is that if a player says no to his original team to test the FA waters, and then gets no/terrible offers from other teams, his original team can rape him in the final phase because the player has no choice but to sign.

This is so fucking stupid
I hate Kespa so much

Isn't that how they do it at the draft for new players?
