Source: DailyEsports, Yong Woo Kim aka Kenzi

Yoe Flash Wolves' PartinG will be unable to compete in the upcoming season of Proleague, according to a report from DailyEsports. The former SK Telecom T1 player was originally set to compete in Proleague as a part of the Startale-Yoe alliance, but contract regulations have barred him from the tournament.

Contrary to previous reports, PartinG did not leave SK Telecom T1 at the end of his contract as a free agent. KeSPA regulations require a player to play on a team for at least five years to obtain free agent status (clarification via DES reporter Kenzi). As PartinG left SK Telecom before this period, KeSPA has designated him as a player who has 'arbitrarily left' left his team. In such cases, the player's contract is suspended while all rights to player remain with his original team.

According to DES, (P)PartinG is only eligible to play for SK Telecom T1, unless SKT puts in a request to the KeSPA chairman to free PartinG from the restriction.

Furthermore, (P)Rain and (T)FanTaSy are also said to fall under the same restriction, although their contracts had ended in September. Though both players have played with SK Telecom for over five years, neither player had filled the requisite five years since their previous free agency.



TL;DR: PartinG, Rain, and Fantasy cannot compete in Proleague this season, unless it is for SK Telecom T1. The reason is that they did not leave SKT as free agents, leaving their Proleague rights remaining with SKT. This is due to KeSPA regulations where players must fill a certain length of time on their contracts before being eligible for free agency status.

Seems like the rule originally existed to stop players from leaving teams and joining other teams mid-season? That said, 4 years to obtain free agency is like such a long time in esports years :[

PartinG didn't respect the power of the KeSPA. He should know better, being a Protoss player.

I guess SKT could waive their rights and let him play but then why would they if it could hurt their chances of winning.

What if It's all a set up in collaboration with Coach Oov?

Parting doesn't want to play in Proleague, but he wants to join YFW and get all the benefits and freedoms that it entails. He needs an excuse to get out of playing in PL for YFW, so he calls up Oov and they set this up.

What a villain, move over Choya.

Let's hope this turns into a PR disaster until they revise their traditional tyranny.

Well, that's pretty big stamp on Startale's chances this season.
4 years is quite a lot though, but i guess, this is pretty old rule.

On the other hand, i don't think that either Yoe won't be able to pay transfer fee or they won't find a solution if they really want to, PartinG, Rain, and Soulkey are pretty big faces of KeSPA throughout last years.

how in the world would Rain and Fantasy fall under this provision? They've been with SKT for a long time.

either way, this rule is dumb in every way. especially now, in a climate where SC isn't the dominant esport and players change teams all the time. when people are fleeing kespa teams for the freedom of foreign tournaments, now probably isn't the best time to arbitrarily prevent people from playing in proleague.

I understand that it's a rule and Kespa has always been pretty severe but four years is too much in Esports!Poor PartinG
