Ok. So lets say the player wouldn't accept the team offer by 9/24.

Will he be eligible to go to:
a) foreign team
b) eSF team

a) probably, I don't see how you can stop that? If he's not contracted by anyone and there's no agreement with foreign teams there's no reason to presume foreign teams couldn't then try their hands to sign someone with the temptation of money and overseas travel.

b) no, there's an agreement not to sign players across organizations for a year.

The process is as follows;
- The player's current team will have the first right to offer a contract, if negotiations break down, another team may provide an offer of better value.

From 9/7 to 9/10 begins the internal team contract offer. If there is no contract accepted during this time, external teams are allowed to offer a contract to the player (from 9/11 to 9/20). If in this period there is once again no contract offer/acceptance of contract, the player will once again renegotiate with their original team (9/21 to 9/24).


Sounds like a really bad system for the players, or? They can't compare offers while negotiating with their current team and (most of them) can't really use the interest of other teams to pressure the current team. When a player enters stage 2 it's kinda official that he has to accept a horrible contract (or no contract) in stage 3 when he doesn't find someone in stage 2... really weak starting point to get a decent contract.

people have been saying this about Zero and BW since his breakout season like 4-5 years ago lol


Because barely losing to Jangbi (the champion) in ro4 isn't good enough.

In many sports, there are different tiers/types of free agency. This one sounds like restricted free agency.

ESF teams can barely offer their players contracts money, I don't see how they can afford these guys unless they make very low salary. ~$15k.



then the question is do these players want money or freedom?

Actually, the choice is more about whether they want a good stable salary and an ideal training environment, or neither.

If it's an ESF team though, that would mean no monetary income besides tournament prize money, that would be a no for him too I guess.
