If EG wanted Jaedong, they'd have to cut their entire team.
It would literally be Scoots and Jaedong.

Huh interesting. Wonder if it will affect anything.
Nope, just pretend bw is still going strong and so no one would be changing teams in such a way. Of course this pretend-bw will suffer a severe heart attack on october 2013 and that will be the end of it.

makes sense, since the KeSPA teams have far, far deeper pockets than the GSL teams
this is basically the only thing GSL teams can do to stay in business

...that sounds awesome actually. I can see that being an excellent eSports buddy action/comedy.

A lot longer than I would've expected, it's a good thing though, I guess. Good for the teams, not so good for the players.
it is good for kespa players atleast.

What about players that decide to do coaching like Clide?
I think coaching transfers are fine, the post specifically stated that it was player transfer, so if we take that literally, then players who transfer to play in another team. Don't quote me on that though, someone else will have to confirm.

lol. if anybody thinks eg can afford taek bang lee sang you should feel dumb.

Seems silly! Both sides are already competing with each other in the WCG, WCS, GSL, OSL and soon foreign tournaments. They will be able to compete between themselves over new talent in Korea and sign foreign players. The current player pools is is really good but the skills will diminish over time and so the real battle over the most skill youngsters is more important.

So Jaedong would essentially have 32 personal sponsors, Seems fitting.

I guess it makes sense in the fact that contracts are much more respected in real sports and often these can last 1 or 2 years.
At the same time progamer lifespans are a lot short, and they don't get a lot of money so.

Dont think the idea is baaaaad in general, get what they wanna reach through it.
Just not sure if it will work and is too long

Sounds like a good team to me.
On topic -
Very interesting, understand why it was done.

What about free agents? As in, player A's contract with ESF/Kespa team expires. Can he entertain offers from both sides?
|
Good, I never wanna see Flash on a foreign team.
|
holy crap? 2013?! so after HotS comes out? and does this mean M18M's trade would be the only trade thats valid?
|
wow really?
Think about what Kespa is good at people.
Backstabbing. From the release of the starcraft 2, I have watched Kespa fighting over the rights
that they are not even entitle to, and all Kespa has done so far made me feel disgusted.

Jaedong is worth more than the entire EG roster combined. No foreign team, or any non-kespa team for that matter, could afford him.

hmm, from the language of the summary, it seems that players leaving the military aren't restricted? But there might be fine print we don't know about :|
