Come on Nazgul, let's see all these players just drop the S from their ID.

There's already a trade lock on eSF players going to Kespa teams, so no clue why Boss is mad about that even though I agree that it's somewhat of a power play. I don't think it's the end of the world though and probably done because the team disbanded and a fair number of players hit free agency at once, so I don't mind it.
I haven't seen GOM really steer us wrong yet, so I hope nothing goes wrong with this either.
Doesn't apply to dead teams. SKT picked up Dark.

^^^ Iirc Slayers wasn't part of that agreement/ESF.

You don't, they were part of it.

I don't think they were actually... wasn't ESF players being mean to Slayers players cited as one of the reasons for the team going under?
I donno if they were part of the trade freeze or not, but they weren't in the ESF itself.

SlayerS was part of the trade lock, but they weren't ESF, and they disbanded.
Probably some weird loophole involved with that.

they probably just went with it to avoid getting singled out by the entire Korean community and becuase the trade lock benefited them as much as everyone else

You're joking right? The only teams in a tough spot are the esf teams and the teams funded by private capital. The majority of the western teams are in better financial state than they ever have been.
I'm obviously not going to get into the details of our budget, but we have more money to spend than ever. Most teams are definitely NOT "struggling to stay afloat". That's nuts! Many player and sponsor contracts run out at the end of December, that's why things might have seemed unstable.
I think it's good that eSF takes an advisory role, but your arguments are pure and utter nonsense!
Edit: How are you even making this stuff up?

It didn't apply for SlayerS because they weren't in the eSF. TSL on the other hand were and they were registered for the lock as a member of the eSF teams. Unless there is some weird technical reason why dead teams would change the matter im sure it still applies.

Quantic lasted what, just 2 years? And that's 1 team. With a roster that was way too big to keep. It blows my mind where you get these arguments. The fact that their sponsor just decided one day to quit and that they had no fall-back certainly doesn't speak for financial stability.
If you look at the established teams, they're in a better spot than ever. A good number of teams resigned sponsors for 2013, a few switched.

The problem with Quantic was that they relied on private investors, not sponsors. Sponsored teams are way more stable. If private investors pull out, your organisation can just pack its bags. Sponsorships involve negotiations, and you'd know from before when a sponsorship agreement will come to an end, and you plan ahead accordingly, by either trying to renew, or to look for new sponsors. Unfortunately, not many organisations get the huge amount of sponsorship money required to stay operational, but those few are very stable, such as EG, SK, Mouz, Acer, Dignitas, Millenium etc. I'm presuming Western Wolves as well ^^

Haha, I will tell you WW is 0% reliant on private capital, we depend fully on our sponsors. And we're excited about 2013.
