I didn´t understand half of that stuff, but I just wish SKT T1 sells Midas,Canata and Bisu and gets Savior, NalRa and Calm just for the lulz.

That would be so win.

Let me reverse the question: why should they?

Players usually want to go to a team that is better for them, more often than not this will not be a team that is ranked low.

*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.


Just curious, who are the big 4? SKT, KT, Samsung, and Hwaseung?

New FA Article
Sauce

I had this posted up earlier, but I had trouble translating it
I really had no idea how to put this in better words in english
So any translator who stops by here wanna correct me please do...

But this is basically what the headlines say

"The main issue is regarding players with salaries less than 50 grand."

So remember this rule?
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.


Well the article basically talks about how many players do have a salary lower than 50 grand (ie, Baby has a $6000 salary lolol).

And how players who should be getting paid more than they should could be getting financially abused by their sponsor.



I would post Korean Netizens comments here, but right now they're arguing whether working in a cubicle for 20 grand is better than being a progamer for 50grand

This is true. Drafts work the way they do because teams will have the chance to raise new talent. It doesn't work with allready established stars. I mean who wants to see Bisu in Estro and Jaedong in MBC?

First of all, why is Nal_rA in there? Is he not retired? Yea he is still in the "team" but he doesnt play, nor does he advertise for them or anything... He announced his retirement too... And oov is also retired right?

So this is how I understand it.
Lets just say I am SKT1, and I want to have FireFist in my team. I would have to pay KT Fingerboom twice FireFist's salary OR his salary + give away one of my players (like thezerg) to get FireFist. Is this a good example, or am I wrong. Either way it is kinda confusing...

Won't this just widen the gap between the top six and the bottom six? Just because a team like eSTRO gets to choose first, doesn't mean they'll get their pick.

This is pretty dumb way of doing things... Progamers should try to stand up for themselves or something, because it's quite ridiculous. Yeah I do understand that they're 15-2x years old so they get abused, but comeon...

Wow this makes it real hard to poach expensive players. You basically have to be willing to shell out more than 3 times the money the original team is offering.

Um well if you pick first at draft you will get whatever player you want/choose, period. Top teams will get less good players that point (might be better few years later though).

Anyways Wemade Fox has first pick then eSTRO.

Are you saying you want to turn the free agent period into a redraft of all the free agents? Well, it wouldn't be free agency anymore then. The whole reason free agency started in sports like baseball and basketball was because the players could get screwed by their employer. Free agency leads to higher salaries for the players.

If your goal is to balance the rich and poor teams, then you can try things like a salary cap and/or revenue sharing which would screw the players over less than essentially eliminating free agency.

Wait..so if a team wants a player they have to pay the other team DOUBLE what they were paying said player, on top of his new salary? Seems kinda odd...


Yeah that is weird and it seems like that would discourage teams and players from wanting to be traded.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

I wonder how many players are willing to go "free agent" if their current team offers fairly same amount as their current salary. There might be risk that nobody picks you.
