SKT and KT are the two largest Telecom companies in South Korea, and you obviously know who Samsung is... I think these 3 have the top budget of them all.

CJ and Woongjin are pretty rich too... they could afford Squirtle easily I think. Same goes with STX SouL.

Kespa teams has tons of dough to splash except Team 8 whereas eSF teams on the other hand doesn't have that luxury to do that.
Only LG-IM has the dough and the only eSF team to pay a proper salary to the each of it's player.

Prime is struggling with money problems and SlayerS/TSL has disbanded.

Sooner or later,Kespa will take control of the better players since they got the money.
Money is everything in the business world.

This salary figure is just a estimation, but in range of possiblity since parting was wanted from top2 teams of SPL.

So sad, it's really lame what kespa is doing.

Instead of trying to create a bigger scene and unify both leagues, they will try and starve the ESF teams and gomtv

if this trend continues I won't renew my PL subscription!

So what is Kespa supposed to do then? It's not their fault that they are rich and players want to play for them. I mean, if outstanding programmers want to join Google because it pays well, can we blame Google for it? Rather than bashing Kespa, ESF teams should get a more savvy and sustainable business model, as suggested by TotalBiscuit in his Axiom Teamhouse thread post.

for me it looks like the way Parting and Squirtle switch(ed) from an eSF team to a KeSPA team, is by shipping around the "no transfer aggrement" between the two organisations. And to make it even worse, it seems most likely they must have had some informations about what awaits them after they leave startale. Maybe a Kespa or Kespateam representative reached out to them (inofficialy) and was just talking about their possibilities in a KeSPA team. Of course this is all speculation, but it seems most logical to me. aaaand I dont like it.

It's not surprising that eSF players want to join KeSPA teams. KeSPA teams and their players are mythic entities for progamers, have a much bigger fanbase and much bigger sponsors. I think eSF won't survive too long if they remain in competition with KeSPA

It's not really the size of the chaebol, it's how much they are willing to sponsor. I think SKT and KTF have always put more money into their teams than the other companies, even though Samsung, as a company, is by far the richest.

This bubble will come to an end just like everything, dragging everyone else down with it. There will be a few lucky/smarter ones who will have sucked as much up and have left by then. And chances are those smart-asses will have wasted everything they've cheated anyway.

Circle of life.
