Correct me if i'm wrong but ... Players had not been ask the question didn't they ?

It feals like Kespa is deciding once again for the players. But maybe i'm wrong and didn't understand quite right the OP.

I feal a player association is needed when i see threads like this. But again. Maybe my english is too bad to understand and i'm being paranoid.

Hmm so what about
1) Leaving a GSTL team, being teamless for a while, then joining a kespa team (as opposed to direct transfer), or
2) Join a foreign team, contract ends after a few months, join kespa team
3) Go teamless, get a personal sponsor for a while, join kespa team

And the other way around as well.

Or does it mean the moment you get slapped with the GSTL tag, you can't join a Kespa team regardless, even if you leave the team in the meanwhile?


I think this is still possible. M18M just joined LighT, and I'm pretty a GSTL team can hire him later.

Does this mean that Stephano, Nani or a foreigner of that caliber could be recruited into a kespa team? I mean Stephano would rolfstomp pro league that isn't even an opinion but fact.

No, this is good for the teams, not for the individual players (as in nothing changed for the players really, but they could've easily had a more beneficial agreement).

Allright I feel like I'm complaining too much, gonna exit this thread now

Wow thats a pretty long time, I would have prefered an earlier date.
I wonder how good the Kespa players will be by then (probably dominating).

This is kinda odd. I don't know much about Kespa, but they must have some very odd fundementals or power complexes, because this is just weird. Why couldn't you trade players from the same league?

I was waiting for some news on this. Thanks for posting it. It helps clarify a lot about the uncharted waters we're heading into.

This is more like kespa teams saying they will not be taking players on until 13 months is over.

I'm sure kespa players could leave if they wanted to.

Seems fair enough. A player should still be able to go over to another team if they really wanted to if their contract was up.

For once I don't think it's odd at all. It benefits both GOM and KeSPA.

GOM teams have an advantage in skill/experience in SC2, so poaching could happen mutually. Basically a one year moratorium on player transfers is not a big deal.
Not supporting teams who take robber baron money.

I wonder what will end up happening to SlayerS? I mean, BoxeR MADE SKT.... It'd feel REALLY weird watching a SlayerS vs SKT match with BoxeR and iloveoov on opposite ends of the field.

Eh, while he was the face of SKT since their acquirement of 4U, his influence pretty much diminished within the company after he left for the military.

I think everyone will get benefits from this, except the fact that they can trade to foreign team.

I think it's a good agreement for both parties. This way, Proleague won't be flooded by eSF players looking for easy success and money. It also protects the attractiveness of GSL since the best players will stay in it.

I think KeSPA hopes its players will be better than eSF players in October 2013

I see why this is good for gsl but i fail to understand what kespa gets from this.
Now their players have to own. If not, No one will be left by 2013 to watch them.
