Not sure what the "bids" means. Are they bidding for rights to sign him via a payment to KeSpa, or are they just expressing interest in paying the salary. Not exactly sure what you "bid" on if the contract has already been negotiated.

I would love to see Parting join samsung Khan or STX Soul. These teams really need help with their roster and if he went to a team like KT, SKT1, or CJ he would might get over shadowed by other big names. Even though parting is a HUGE name I still think Kespa fans are going to be geared more towards cheering for the players that were already on the team rather than some ESF player.

TBH, I think he would join STX. Team-8 seems a very likely candidate but they seem to be doing not bad at the moment.

It probably wont be T8 because they didn't have the money to keep JaeDong and Im assuming that Parting is going to get paid at least 3/4 of his salary. I think T8 would much rather have JaeDong back instead of Parting because JaeDong is so much better of a marketing tool then Parting.

It's not about stability, It's about the Won's. Kespa teams can afford a high salary while none of the ESF teams can because they are either poor or already using their whole budget to pay the salaries of their star players and can't add a 6 figure Parting onto it.

LG-IM, Startale, FXO and Team MVP are stable and fine.

Also Azubu until proven otherwise, they've been investing an insane amount of money into esports through sponsoring the first two seasons of The Champion's, two LoL teams and the CSL.


that Won means stability lol. He will get to enjoy every worker's benefit for technically being an employee of these corporations. Aside from big money, dont you want vacation, insurance, free lasik surgery, post-gaming career offer and stuffs? Thats stability for you.

Well at least that rules out most foreign teams which is a joke of organization (no offense) and a few struggling eSF teams.

So the trade embargo only works on players on teams? Leaving them bypasses that? Doesn't that seem a bit.....easy?


Only if they have their contracts expire. Parting's contract expired at the end of the year.
Also dislike that multiple bids results in a random drawing. It should go to whoever has the lowest ranking at the time of the 'draw' (so Samsung in this case).

Samsung Would benefit so so so much if parting was on their team. He could teach the protoss team how to play sc2 >_>

I meant stability in the way that his team isn't going to disband at random, but yes it is a more " stable " career to be employed by a team that gives those benefits and a good salary.

Interesting. Parting almost would become the strongest sc2 player in proleague overnight so they're putting him on a 1 round bye haha.

Any team would benefit from him. Stars would be the best for Parting and Flying shipping.

I feel a bit sad he went ESF to Kespa, though it's understandable since too many ESF teams are unstable and unfortunately without proper salaries. As people have said: it's basically LG-IM in ESF that's safe. ST, MVP, Prime, NSHS aren't. Foreign investments are typically "safe" (Azubu, SK, TL, EG, Fnatic, FXO) but even then most of them are reliant upon more private sponsorships I believe.

Still wondering if FXOBoss's suggestion of Kespa buying out ESF teams and GSL will just work out best for everyone in the short and long run?

since the players on esf receive no salary... wouldn't it make sense for them to want to join a kespa team??

Not letting Parting play is a travesty wtf. Wow. Would bring in so much hype for PL.

Also, the random team selection for multiple bidder situations is iffy to me. If KT got Parting and then MvP decided to join a kespa team, could KT bid again? It's unlikely they would win two players by chance in a row but it could happen. Just seems like an odd system for bidding.

Well, I hope this doesn't create conflict with eSF. GL to PartinG, hopefully the semi-randomness isn't too random.

Actually, stability and money isn't the same thing. High risk ventures can earn lots of money, but isn't at all stable, while government jobs are stable, but most likely won't earn you lots of money.

They did say that a team that acquires a player through this system will not get priority for the next player until every other team gets at least 1 player.
