Hehe. Funny thing is that slave usually gets paid more than freed people.


Also, its still bad practice that the player doesnt get to choose what team they go to.


Bad for whom? If they're not being silly, the players will still gets paid a very decent salary proportional to their skill level whichever team they sign for.

More importantly, that practice prevents the creation of superteams and keeps the teams as balanced as possible by encouraging the players to stay with their teams (with ACE being the obvious exception).

If there wasn't some structure in place to prevent a full-on competition between the teams for signing players, we would have seen more teams fold much faster than they did over the years and it would have been bad for everyone.

KHAN, KEEP THAT ASS ON YOUR TEAM!! :D

roro, too good. Sort of funny that it's the first time he's really been seen as dominant. Now people REALLY won't want to put him on their anti, if we can get fpl started again.

No doubt he deserves a big pay raise. What he means (I think) is that there is a rule that any other team that wants to buy roro has to pay double his original salary at the minimum, which they may not really want to do in the first place (so it sort of favors Khan). The fact that he probably does deserve a doubling of his pay sort of mitigates that problem though, yeah

I used to like SKT zergs, s2, soO, Hyuk, but all of them seems to be awful at SC2, so I wouldn't mind if T1 would pick RorO !

I think this post deserves to be highlighted for those who don't like the current system.

Beyond Trade Lock, KeSPA has very elaborate rules for who qualifies for free agency. The first time they tried this, players had to have held their licenses for at least three years or something, needed to have participated in a minimum number of games during the last proleague season, and some other stuff I can't recall.

I don't know if the qualifications are simpler this time around, but seeing the few number of players up for it, I'd say they're still quite restricting.

Couldn't we simply go over there and burn the Kespa office with flamethrowers, then simply broadcast GSL on Korean TV ?

From 9/7 to 9/10 begins the contract offer period from the players original team. If there is no contract accepted during this time, other 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).

T/N: The wording of the final paragraph had really formal language which was somewhat difficult to grasp, so if a native Korean speaker could correct me on it, it would be appreciated.

you got it right, any corrections made would be nitpicking.

They can join ESF
They'll be protected, earn a decent money, and won't be representing the Evil Kespa so the sponsors might even be happier.
And I am not even mentioning the quality of Kespa's events on the international side, that hurts the sponsors as well.

Plus as I said, I think Samsung is a good company and I have one of their product in my possession, but I hate the fact that they support Kespa, and will consider switching to another mobile phone brand because of that, I think I am not alone.

So I say, money is not the point, Kespa totally locked the BW scene, destroying any chance for the game to develop anywhere and also blocking huge money opportunities for the players by doing so, and they are gonna try again with sc2, be sure.

So let's just burn them down

I don't think it's KeSPA's fault that there wasn't much of a BW scene outside of Korea...
