I would've preferred if the eSF just offered (hidden) advice to the players, with the possibility that the player can apply for representative negotiate in his stead, instead of channeling all negotiations through them. Even if they mean no harm to the players, such a move will ultimately harm the players as it makes them less easily approachable. Teams who thought of hiring them might think twice if they have to go through eSF, especially since the majority of the people probably don't know what the eSF is (what is their structure, who makes the decisions, what are the official channels). Isn't GOM the head of eSF now? If so it should be very easy for people to do actually since GOM has always been working with teams, other tournaments and organisations, etc. and most teams have had contact with GOM before. It could backfire but I think it's to prevent something like what happened to these ex-oGs players and so on. Just too many teams trying to quicktalk players to get them to sign bad contracts. I hope it works out well for them. | ||

I wouldnt be surprised at all if it turns out that a lot of these Koreans on foreign teams are getting paid shit compared to the foreigners. | ||

I am just saying that the eSF should not babysit the player all the time and that the players should learn a bit about something as important as contract negotiations. The best way in my opinion is a direct contact between interested team and player, with eSF offering advice to the player and possibly intervening with a representative, should the player want it (e.g. if he is a bit overextended with the whole matter)*. edit: *and intervention should the eSF think the player is being taken advantage of, ofc. | ||

Did they not agree to be represented by ESL or were they signed by a Korean team before ESL made this announcement to the foreign teams? I tried searching through liquipedia, couldn't find any information, I guess they are already in talks with teams and eSF is handling it? As the OP stated that all players agreed. | ||

Jokes aside, the ex-TSL lineup is full of GSL material, hope they find a good team. Polt, what is on your mind ? | ||

Do you have no faith in the established progaming teams? I could understand people saying this about relatively new teams, and teams that have foul reputations. But most established teams know that what's best for the player often aligns with what's best for the team. | ||
