The separation of team lines at this point will give the Kespa players better opportunity to grow into SC2 in a safer environment, and will prevent absurdly wealthy teams from simply absorbing the top talent from everywhere else in the scene, meaning LG-IM's younger players still have Nestea and MVP to consult with, and likewise with other teams. The players that will potentially suffer are the current GSL superstars who are skilled enough to be worth more money, but won't be allowed to move to the richer teams. However, within a year's time things will have stabilized more in terms of the skill gap between teams, and economy's of things will have shifted. It will give smaller teams opportunity to economically grow, and bigger teams opportunity to train their players to a higher skill level, so there will be less swapping around of players 1 year down the line than there would be if it were allowed right now. How does this effect foreign teams? How many teams who have recruited Korean players (or even teams who haven't) are part of eSports Federation? Presumably TL is 'safe' as they've actually played in the GSTL as a team, where do teams like EG or Empire stand? Are Violet and Puma potentially attractive recruiting opportunities for fabulously wealthy Korean teams now? | ||

SlayerS didn't join the GSL team federation, I think, so I don't think this applies to them. It would also explain how Clide managed to join a Kespa team as coach as well. | ||
