Therefore, all contact point for upcoming negotiation and scouting is to be eSF and all conditions offered by teams shall be forwarded to players without filtering, so feel free to proceed without worries.

This is to prevent any mistakes or misunderstanding coming from lack of interpreting terms by younger players and help stable signing of contract.
...

Well, this assurance didn't seem to exist in the past.

I guess/hope the players themselves had to approve this, since they reportedly didn't have any kind of binding contract.

I'm curious as to what your thoughts are.. do you not agree with how ESF is handling their players?

Glad that they're trying their best to get them on a team without risking the chance of them being taken advantage of due to a scam team, thought I doubt a team that low would even be able to get any of these guys.

My thoughts are that this didnt need to be made public. Rather it should have been emailed to the foreign organisations and ESF organisations.

This is clearly a power stunt.

And what would stop the foreign teams from 'leaking' this and saying they are trying to sign so-and-so but they need to go through eSF. IMO, that would cause even more drama. At least this way, it is out in the open.

Post above you explains this exactly. By making it public it makes it much less drama prone, they are doing things out in the open for the community to see.

Power play by them or not, I'm glad they did this. Could potentially save a good amount of silly drama down the road imo.

Until your favourite player is prevented from joining a team such as KT or SKT1 because of silly drama. This really didnt need to be public.

I hope they did email all the teams as well and this isn't there own way to let them know.

No. The community will think eSF is being shady and controlling the players behind the scenes.

It doesn't even need to be the team themselves. 'Insiders' can leak this type of information quite easily.

just wondering, how do you think this would prevent them from joining a kespa team? the edit in the OP says this is only for the foreign teams and the korean teams were notified a week ago.

Yeah, Composing emails to every foreign team in the world that could possibly want to sponsor or pick up a player.

Boy, wouldn't that be convenient.

They technically they weren't their players anymore, but the OP did say these select players gave them consent to do so. Let's wait and see what happens.

I have to agree with Josh when I say some things are better to be kept behind closed doors. ESF are flaunting their position.

I don't think GOM knows the contact information for every foreign team out there that might be interested in a TSL player. Isn't this a little easier given that most of those foreign teams have someone that visits this forum?

Kespa and eSF have a trade lock atm anyway. So none of your favorite players will be moving from an eSF team to kespa. I assume that applies to these players too.

power stunt it may be, but god, there are so many teams these days that just posting smthg like this to TL is a lot more efficient than emailing every goddamn team.
