Dark wearing T1 uniform, seems he has joined as a trainee (contract isn't finalised yet). ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/UETb4.jpg) Check out his Code A qualifier interview translated by wozzot : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=381312#1 Good luck to Dark, will be interesting to see where the other players end up. [ Did a quick search, found no thread on this. apologies if it already exists. If there is any more info, send me a pm and I'll add it to the OP ] | ||

I guess I'm being paranoid about this, but if the agreement works this way, KeSPA teams could easily just buy ESF teams and make them "disband" to get their players. | ||

The no trade thingie also involved slayers. The difference is that slayers disbanded so it's not a transfer, skt just picked up a teamless player who happened to have been a ex slayers member. Think of it as a loophole. @Mandalor: There currently is no eSF team that kespa could "just" buy, all remaining eSF teams are very stable financially and have big enough sponsor contracts going on that you can't just buy them if you feel like it. | ||

It doesn't really matter whether KeSPA could find a legal loophole in their agreement, the point is that ESF has leverage. If KeSPA fucked them over by breaking the agreement or the spirit of the agreement, then ESF would withdraw from OSL and stop all cooperation with KeSPA/OSL. And they may force foreign organizations to take sides telling them "you either work with us or KeSPA, but not both". It would hurt both parties terribly and therefore KeSPA cannot just do whatever the hell it likes. A small version of this was seen when KeSPA didn't want to participate in GSL initially, and ESF then withdrew temporarily from the OSL. Regarding Dark: Good for him, hope he does well in SKT1. It is always sad when someone dedicates a considerable amount of their youth to progamming and then ends up with almost nothing to show for it. | ||

A small version of this was seen when KeSPA didn't want to participate in GSL initially, and ESF then withdrew temporarily from the OSL. ESF doesn't really have any real leverage in that hypothetical situation, I mean when kespa buys all esf players, esf has no players that they can pull out. And foreign organizations, like mlg, would never side with esf. MLG gets way more hype because of the kespa than any other esf player could ever achieve. | ||

For bw you needed to get a license to play on a team and one of the only ways to get that was courage.. Great to see Kespa picking up new players without all the bureaucracy. | ||
