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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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

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! | ||
