There are at most 2-3 other players that are in his caliber (Sun, Flying and maybe herO[jOin]?) That's it though. | ||

They can't negotiate with both their team and other teams at the same time? Imagine you're the player - you have no idea what other teams would offer you, so you have to just take a wild guess when deciding on whether to re-sign with your old team at first. Then you go talk to other teams. If it turns out your team had the best offer, you're sort of stuck - you can't take it while you still have the other offers on the table. If you wait and let that period end, you lose all bargaining power. During phase 3 your old team can offer you next to nothing and you still have to take it. You have no bargaining power at all. So realistically you have to take the best thing you get offered during phase 2. Yes to everything you said. History has seen more than 1 player totally screwed over by free agency. | ||

They would take too much PR damage if they didn't. | ||

If that was reliably true, then what you should see is no one ever taking a contract in phase 1 - if the offer will still be there later, there is no downside to seeing what other teams offer. Now, I'm new to it and maybe that's what occurs... but if it ever does, it means that the player themself at least isn't convinced the offer will still be there later. | ||

So realistically you have to take the best thing you get offered during phase 2. In theory what you say is true and players have potential to be screwed over and over. But players generally get what they deserves (aka results). If you have a monster Proleague round, you can bet on getting a huge raise. The only problem I have with it is that contracts are yearly or more and the life of a progamer is short. | ||

It should be interesting what happens to roro he is a pretty good sc2 player you do realize the nfl is also an owners dominated league with few player rights right | ||

It will be really interesting to see what happens in the upcoming weeks. Especially if RorO plays as well as he has been playing. I think that he has a really good shot at impacting the SC2 scene along with Jaedong and EffOrt as far as Zergs go. | ||

The Asian mentality doesn't really allow this. Why should a player decide to look at other offers if the team he wants to stay in offers him a good salary with terms he wants? But yeah last year we had a few in phase 2 and then resigning with their teams in phase 3. | ||

Many free agency players get bought back by the original team for a fraction of what they were originally making. Thereby commiting esports sudoku. Also, its still bad practice that the player doesnt get to choose what team they go to. | ||
