I expect a lot of those free agents will join other KeSPA teams before the beginning of PL.

I hope so. There are too many Korean players without a team right now

Glass is half full or half empty.
Personally, Im actually happy if a few of them moves to NA/EU. Im more than a little tired of seeing Taeja, MC, Polt, Stardust, HerO, Hyun, Jaedong, San in the top of every single tournament. This might even open up for new talent in Proleague. Im waiting for the next Maru!

I guess it's rather be hungry and free than well fed in jail? :D

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I think KeSPA is slowly shutting down the doors for SC2, It's just not that popular, perhaps they are planning to focus on DotA 2 along side League, League is the new BW in Korea.

What? This exact thing happened every year even in BW. Contracts end, new contracts are being negotiated. Bear in mind that we have several direct quotes from Kespa representatives that Starcraft 2 is in MUCH better shape then it was same time last year.

Because all teh contracts are ending in August. There's nothing more to it. Same thing (even worse, cause there were retirements instead of 'joining foreign teams') happened last year. And same thing was also happening in BW, although that was only Kespa teams shuffling players between them cause there was nothing else :p

It was still a massive deal in BW whenever A-teamers switch teams, Bisu going to SKT from MBC basically killed MBC's chances at playoffs for instance. It's not common that 4-5 A-teamers suddenly all jump ship.

It could be contract negotiation period and/or several contracts are running out.

People are still used to their BW salaries, and Teams are offering lower salaries in general due to lower number of fans and sponsorship.

This is pure speculation and maybe some people with more insight can comment on this.

Well, I hope so. I'm just worried because there are so many changes going on in Korea and outside aswell, it just doesn't seem stable.

It happens everytime, and people are super-hyped.

If I had money, I'd open up a team right now. Effort was one of my favourite zerg players in BW. And he's still cool.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

I'm really curious how will all of this settle. Foreign scene might get a real boost if these players are willing to lose on salary in exchange for freedom
