But this is basically what the headlines say "The main issue is regarding players with salaries less than 50 grand."So remember this rule? Show nested quote +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
Well at least Baby makes more than 99% of the 14 year olds in Korea

I can see the merit of a draft when it comes to new players, who have yet to prove themselves (other than passing courage), but for later transfers? Where's the sense in that? Say Free wants to join a better team, say CJ or SKT. Why would you want him to have to negotiate with the bottom ranked PL teams first when he wants a better and not a worse team? That makes no sense at all 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? I might enjoy that just to see the speed of Plexa's 180 w/r/t Jaedong
But would that be more amusing than Pusan coming (back) to Oz?

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?
I think the Big Four are SKT, KT, Samsung, and CJ. Hwaseung if i remember correctly is one of the poorer teams.

the system is in place because there exists, for either legal or natural reasons, monopoly control over a particular sport. so for example if major league baseball owners are the only ones with right or capability to run baseball, then they would want a draft so that they can control the player inflow and distribute it. if there is no such monopoly, then players who want to play baseball can negotiate independently with different leagues, and leverage them against each other. but if there is only one league, and one draft, then players have no choice but to enter drafts.
the concept of a league itself and organizations like kespa are there to concentrate market power by controlling who could own teams, and how they should run them. competitive leagues like gom for instance are helpful to players and the scene in general, but to the established interests they are a threat.
these things are there as a result of how the business of the sport has developed over the years.

If free goes anywhere other than coming back to the Stars, it will be the worst day ever.

SKT's chance to acquire a good zerg? They're going to need more than BO advantages to pull out their Zerg victories.

updated with Kespa's new bullshit ruling

ahem
FUCK Kespa
edit: wonder if they're doing a blind bid auction because of the "Players informed of bidding teams: August 26th" bit
the players don't seem to be involved at all except whether they agree to a contract with their current team by Aug 20. if they don't, then they roll the dice and hope a team puts out a decent bid for them.

KESPA ADDENDUM: August 14th
Amongst the bidding teams, the player is UNABLE to select their team of choice, and MUST negotiate a contract with the team that bids the highest amount.
You must be fucking kidding
This blew me away.

This draft is so complicated and basically a massive scheme by KeSPA to ensure they maintain their monopoly.
I hope the netizens succeed. KeSPA is a terrible governing organization.
