it's not about league balance, it's always about salary i.e. cost control.

teams can influence each other's choices, they can just pay each other to get higher priority, instead of paying the players. the teams taht are willing to spend can always achieve imbalance, it just won't be visible. it also saves on competitive bidding

You see Flying yesterday? I strongly think it'll be the other way around this time xD


Based on his performance last nite, i believe hes gonna be the one doing not only the dishes for Parting but also making sure his underwear is always clean in the upcoming months.

I will never, ever understand KeSPA. So now PartinG didn't join KeSPA team, he actually joined KeSPA itself... Now KeSPA will decide instead of him(with random draw - WHAT IN THE HELL ????) for which team he will play... GL if he joins T8 that doesn't even have sponsors and can disband every season, or STX and KHAN that are struggling to win a single match.

Thank god. I would have stabbed myself in the eye if he joined EG.

It's funny that Woongjin actually is the team that needs him the most, as it will be hilarious when Flying has to wash PartinG's dishes


No it isn't Woongjin has Free Shy and Flying , more good protoss is just overkill . CJ needs him the most . I personally don't like Parting , but if he can help hero[join] in proleague i don't mind him joining . Other teams already have 2 - 3 decent protoss players while CJ has only hero . Other team he would be the most useful at is STX , maybe Team 8 .

You must also don't understand how NBA draft works too. Need to watch some sports, you.

The Association will receive bids on PartinG until the 11th, and in the case multiple teams make bids, the team to acquire PartinG will be decided on through a random drawing on the 14th with PartinG, and team and KeSPA officials present.


so the teams that bid, they cant decide to give him more salary trough the bidding process? the salary is set if i read that correctly. this drawing is weird, i mean, why cant he decide where he wanna go if multiple teams bid the same salary and terms?

They are doing there best to preserve the balance of the league. If they let the highest bidder win, it would for sure be SKT or KT. If its parting's choice its most probably still gonna be SKT or KT (maybe STX coz SOUL). Atleast with the random draft system, there is a chance that the lower half tier teams are gonna get him, if they bid.


I guess...but then what incentive is there to bid anything more than the minimum for any of the teams? Seems guaranteed for Parting to make far less than he otherwise would deserve.

I might be crazy, but they still have to negotiate a salary with the player as well, don't they?

A guaranteed rookie salary has been negotiated before the draft if new player gets picked up by any team. Just like the contract which parting already agreed to KeSPA. So I would think, there is still possibility that no team will pick up parting, but only theoretically, because this is a one man draft, the contract they agreed should be good enough for both sides.

I'm a little saddened by this. We see far less activity in foreign tournaments by Kespa teams at the moment, and PartinG is always fun to watch. I feel like it makes sense for him to land on a team like Team 8 where he can replace JD as their star. Not necessarily the team I want to see him on, but seems logical. Although I'm not sure what team wouldn't want to try to acquire him, unless it is a financial concern.

I hope he joins STX or KHAN so he can carry like a baus. KT or SKT1 or WJS would be imbalanced.

I think for example that SKT and Khan should not try to pick PartinG?
Why? Am i crazy?
Cos they already have a protos rooster and PartinG in can mean bisu or stork out.
KT already have a complete and good rooster.
