Now their players have to own. If not, No one will be left by 2013 to watch them.
Well, it avoid the awkward situation and teams dump BW players and try to poach players, and kills ability for BW players to transit.
And if KeSPA historically have a really high view of themselves, so it probably never occurred to them that their player might not keep up.

That's actually reasonable. Thought KeSPA would just put some restraints on their players like they like to do but this way i am quite confident it helps both partys  .

the players are going to need a union, like badly.
|
very very good decision of both sides!
|
Seems reasonable tbh, not having it could upset the balance between the sides really easily if they aren't at an even playing field. Which they would be on by Oct 2013
|
I'm not really sure what'll come out of this but I'm hoping for only good things and hopefully a better future for Starcraft II and e-sports in general.
|
I actually think this agreement is good for the kespa players, if the kespa players diden't turn out to be as good at sc2 right away, why woulden't kespa hire teamless code a players instead ? this gives them time to catch up.
|
Good call for both sides, as stated in the topic.
|
Nice well i mean its good gives time for kespa players to make themselves much better at the game so good for them on this contract

Still going to be interesting whether players like MC or Taeja will be poached by the Kespa teams.

I think MC have a huge salary already, and he loves global tournament too much to go to KeSPA. Taeja on the other hand...

It's legit because of their strict rules and policy. Make no mistake, we'll see a lot of these players thrive in HotS. It's a very good notion for both sides in fact and people will watch.

When was the last time we had a foriegn player in KeSPA?
it's not cause kespa didnt allow them, it's cause they sucked. now stop being such a prick and blaming kespa for everything, including aliens landing on earth and making crop signs.
|
I'm sad, but hopefully they can still practice with eachoter.
|
I think this is an excellent decision, even though it doesn't seem so at first. The OP makes a great point of KeSPA just buying out SC2 players that are already well developed, instead of focusing time onto honing the skills of their BW players. As well as vice versa I suppose. That way we'll have more teams in the SC2 scene, not just a few power houses. Although does this apply to foreign teams as well? We just saw LighT recently pick up M18M.

This makes sense, it'll allow everyone to continue to grow and develop. Everyone will be able to trade again a little after Heart of the Swarm comes out which will make things interesting. (Assuming it'll be out mid 2013)

No it does not apply to foreign scene. It's just between KeSPA and eSF, which is just IM, MVP, ST, Prime, TSL, NSH. I forgot was FXO included or not, since it was foreign owned.

I find it very hard to believe that Taeja would bail and go to a kespa team. He is having the most success out of his entire career with Liquid right now.

Ah okay. Thanks for clearing that portion up.
