RIP

But I thought that a few less teams would've been better. There was no audience for matches with eSTRO v. ACE for example. Ideally, they should have 8 teams, I think that would provide the best matches without having too few players.

So here we are, why KeSPA and their setup is bad:
None of these players will have a chance to negotiate a contract on their own (i.e. get best offer), even if their team is disbanding and contracts are terminated. They are going to be drafted like livestock with very little saying of their own.
Their only option if they don't like the team that is picking them is to forfeit their progamer license (and/or move to SC2)
I might not agree/like with what Blizzard is doing to Proleague, but this modern slavery is just disgusting, rotten and deserves to die.


This is fucking ridiculous. modern slavery, are you nuts?


So do you agree with setup where players absolutely have no control (except bailing out) on the team where they end up ? What rights do they have if they want to keep their license ? They even do not qualify for the, ridiculous by itself (see Jaedong), free-agent treatment. Can you quote example in any sport where players have less rights on choosing a team ?

So yes, I consider this to be form of modern slavery. You can voluntarily put your self in such position by signing a contract in any sport, however what bothers me in this case is that their contracts with the team are terminated due to "Force majeure" and they should be able to freely negotiate with other teams...

But no... They are still slaves to KeSPA... They are "owned" by KeSPA. They are going to be "drafted"...

R.I.P. Estro.
F*#$&^*&k KeSPA.

To be honest, I don't really think losing eSTRO is that big of a deal. They really weren't so great of a team, at times doing worse than ACE.
Hopefully good teams pick them up.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

Probably nice for the players to finally know what they're dealing with. The uncertainty and wondering must have been hard to bare.

What about the managers and coaches?

I hope Grape ends up somewhere since he really just started and has been showing some promise. It would be nice to see Classic play for Woongjin as well. I wonder if they would go after both Classic and Really now that they let some other players go.

Yeah, I hope someone signs Grape. He reminds me of Jonghyun from Shinee.

That would definitely be the most fair way to distribute the players.

How will the position of hite Entus be determined? Kind of hard when you have a merger of teams, one 11th, one 5th.

My guess is they use CJ's, since the CJ - Hite merger is kinda like Hite merging into CJ.

dunno about how it's officially placed though
