because kespa exists to support the teams, not the players. in this case, I think it's a pretty good method, honestly. gives the lower tier teams a better shot.


ah, i understand. probably has something to do with this asian cultural thing, where community > individuals, whereas in the west we have a culture focused on indivuals (thats why football is so single player focused, even though its a teamsport)


Fuck now I just want the GSL of Soccer to happen... ffffffffffffff

This is common practice in a lot of leagues and sports around the world. I don't really understand what the controversy is, do you follow any other sports or understand how some drafting and trading systems work?

edit: To add some other insight, this is the price you pay when you want a standardized league that is able to offer livable salaries to players. If you want a single team to be able to buy out every star player you will create quite the disparity for other teams.


I follow football, rugby, Formula 1, tennis, cricket, golf, athletics and cycling and none of them operate in the way you claim is common practice. Maybe American sports operate in this fashion but I don't follow any of them.


Okay, the practice is used to discourage dominate teams from acquiring all or most of the new talent. By allowing team collusion when drafting new players can insure that all the teams are being fairly represented. If you want to join an organization, you abide by the rules. These rules are a way to allow for fairness, while there may be some trade offs the advantages of a stable salary and contract obligations are far worth it for KESPA players.

How would you have it, I'm curious?

There is something fishy about the draw being random. There is something missing, surely, some cunning and secretive plot.

Oh well, it would have been better if Parting could himself decide which team to go for in case multiple teams do bid for him.
That is not dead which can eternal lie; and with strange aeons even death may die.

I'm still quite confused about how this thing works :s

Is Parting employed by kespa and rented out to a team? If not why did he make a deal for his salary with them?

What sort of bids will the teams have to do? He's already made a deal for his salary and the decision on which team he is joining is a random draw...

parting will get paid, everyone will be satisfied within their allowance.

Why not just allow Parting to negotiate with the team he is interested in joining? He may think to improve his game by having a certain player as a practice partner. However the odds will be that he will join a team that is a rival to this players team and so will not be able to practice with him or have this limited due to team rivalries. Essentially Parting is saying to Startale thanks for the training but I am going to join another team, and not any particular team because I really like them but really just anyone but Startale!

Probably because they want to keep PL teams 'balance'. Obviously, some teams with the S class players still had better results in BW. But could you imagine if one team invested enough money to get TBLS, Fantasy, Jangbi all on the same team in BW? They don't want to run into a Real Madrid, Barcalona situation.

Well if Parting did what you wanted to do he would have to go through any other team, but not a KESPA organized team. The whole purpose of KESPA is to protect to the team's interest first. The players, while taken care of, aren't put in front of the teams. This would defeat what made KESPA successful for the last decade.
