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.

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.
This is good for the players
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
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?

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.
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 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.
