I don't see this working out very well..Especially with foreign teams being potential bidders.

roflmao, esf trying to pull off a wannabe kespa regiment.

but good luck to all of them, they deserve to be on a fine team. no matter the way they find their new team.


if they were trying to be like kespa, they wouldn't be posting this on TL. They would do it in house, in korea, without ever saying anything to the international community. Basically they are saying, if you want to sign an eSF free agent, we will act as an intermediary so there is no misunderstandings of terms etc

Dunno what you guys are reading because it seems clear as day this isnt about controlling players, but making sure that they don't get screwed or misunderstand something. Language barrier and all, it makes sense


The only reason they posted here is because they don't have the right to represent players, so they want to shout out to claim they have, to make people believe it. KeSPA always had the right to players, that's a given for many years, they only need to clarify when there are misunderstandings.


You severely lack in reading comprehension. At no point do they say they will have any part in actually negotiating, just that they will pass on terms, unfiltered (which is the important part), to the players. They are just trying to stop players gettin screwed over.

Imagine if an english speaking team goes directly to a player, who can barely understand them. So they ask a friend to translate and the friend gets it wrong. Basically eSF are going to act as the translator and central hub thru which to offer terms. No hint of controlling the players.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

correct me if i'm wrong, but can't foreign teams just ignore this and contact the players directly anyways if they really want to? it isn't like esf has a lock on players' personal emails, and teams can just say that they didn't see the notice on tl if they get caught red-handed (e.g. by players forwarding emails), etc.

it definitely streamlines the procedure, though, and it does lower the chance of koreans being signed by skeevy teams (which has happened time and time again in the past). the more cynical may take it as esf trying to keep foreign teams from grabbing their players -- and let's be honest here, but esf's been on the losing end insofar as talent drain goes.

not that i have anything against it if the listed players gave their consent (as they seem to have done), and i'm all for more standard contract procedures. it really does seem like a clusterfuck sometimes, these team signings.

edit: honestly, knowing foreign teams, i don't think they will abide by this announcement. hmm.

I wonder if the other TSL players listed on the LP page but not here (Cyrano, Venus, Mamuri, Shine) have found new teams already. The alternative is usually retirement, and while that's expected for Cyrano and probably the two unknown-ish players (they might just be practice partners for the little we know), it'd be a bit of a shame nonetheless.

Cyrano is like 18 though ? I wouldn't expect him to retire at 18

Does that mean that the players can't choose their new teams ?

Huh, he is. Well that's weird then, since Hyun/Symbol are older than him and part of the free agency list (which mentions young players as a factor). I kind of assumed he was an older player or ex-BW pro.

Presumably it means that (note this is entirely a fictitious example)

EG wants to sign Symbol.

Instead of
contacting symbol ---> signing him
they have to
contact esf ---> esf approves or at least informs symbol of the contract and its contents ---> signing him

This is to prevent fake and shitty organizations from picking up players who wouldn't know any better

And also to translate terms and conditions of their contracts. Don't expect them to read and comprehend complicated contract English. Someone has to make sure no one gets duped and everyone understands each other.

It also shows that eSF has authority with their own players, which is a natural move considering they are pretty much dwarfed by bigger teams in and outside of KR.

Hopefully there are also genuine intentions of taking care of their own and not holding their leash.

This is nice I guess but seems a little amateur (posting on TL instead of emailing all the big teams etc), also ESF helping negotiate KESPA teams interest would be lol

Good luck to the players finding new teams,

Not at all! They are making sure the players don't get screwed over by shady as fuck foreign teams... a Kespa regiment wouldn't be posted on TL.... They would control it behind the scenes if thats what they were going for.

I'm glad they are doing this. Would be horrible to see these players go to a crappy team that would rip them off. Atleast now only legit teams really have a shot at them!
