I think a lot of people are just over thinking this. This is a simple statement that 4 players from TSL, with their consent, decided to become free agents through eSF. It's a simple piece of information that you may or may not find it useful. What is there to discuss?

This is actually pretty great to see, hope these guys end up on another ESF team or a good foreign team!

First of all, you didn't say it was the worse case scenario. You just stated that it was an open block on Kespa. Considering at least 2 of the players on the list are ex Kespa pros, it made no sense at all. As for asking each player for their teams they are interested in, I am not sure how much the Korean pros knows about the foreign scene. HyuN and Symbol probably know more since they have been to foreign events and such. But what about someone like Center? Sure, he could talk to other players but I doubt he would have enough info to know which team he wanted to join.

Well from my other post, I said to, "wait and see what happens" and the other note was implied off my re-quote from Josh. Players do talk and there's nothing stopping them from talking. I'm sure they can figure out which teams sound legit and which teams don't. There are a lot of teams that don't have the proper infrastructure setup and we've seen many guys already get screwed over.

I find this post rather confusing. First they say any offer could be forwarded to players without being filtered, then they conclude that basically every teams need to go through this esf.juno dude???
|
ROOThyun, you heard it here first folks!

I think the answer you would get if you asked the players what teams they are interested in would be the same for almost all of them.
Whichever team offers the best contract with the best opportunities.
You don't actually know what that is until you get offers. As for the offers, you can't make a judgement on them if you can't understand what's in the contract or what the terms are.
Just look at what happened with Ganzi. Sometimes, the language barrier creates a lot of misunderstanding.

Don't know much about Kespa, but they must have been pretty awful if people are this paranoid.

You just answered your own question, you're just not understanding what is being said. ESF won't censor or hide any information from inquiring teams from the players, they will act as a screening process for the TSL players so another APEX situation doesn't happen again, where a shady team/manager can offer an enticing deal and not deliver. They, in short, are a safety net for the players, keeping the interests of the players in mind to further their pro-gaming careers in a stable environment.

From Arceus' post sounds like some people are already confused.

Didnt the eSF players vote or ask Gom TV to represent them?

Well, teams might not know how to contact the players. What is HyuN's email? Do you go through twitter? Call him perhaps? This just gives the teams that are interested a centralized channel and make sure the message will get to the players.
Obvious, foreign teams that are pretty established in Korea, EG, TL, etc might not need this. But it will help out other teams.

He's actually very easy his contact info compared to the other TSL players, so that's a bad example. The issue is having a really good translator.

I can put up 10, but being a .01% owner of the theoretical team that Hyun sighs with just doesn't seem that appealing to me right now, so that is all I can offer.
