KeSPA announced that Leta and Hyuk have received the FA status for the year of 2010 through their website today. Hyuk and Leta were both registered as progamers 2006 March 22nd, and because they met the requirement of three years, they received the right to be FA. After many players were publicly announced to be FA last year, there aren't many players who received FA status this year.
The FA process will take place over a month. On the 10th, there will be an education program for the FA recipients, and from the 10th to the 17th, there will be negotiations with the progame team the players are currently associated with. If they don't reach an conclusion, then the progame teams will be able to submit a "Recruitment Intent Form", and the player will be able to start negotiations. If there are no contracts formed after that, then they will be able to perform additional negotiations with the progame team they originally belonged to from the 26th to September 1st.
There are many things that changed since the FA system that first took place last year. There are many more rights given to the FA Player.
If the negotiations with the progame team the player originally belonged to break down, then KeSPA reveals this fact to the 11 Progame Teams, with the exception of Ace. The Salary and Conditions given by the original team will be revealed only to the progame team, [T/N: Not quite sure what that means], and upon receiving the conditions, the progame teams will be able to send a Recruitment Intent form to KeSPA.
There are a few conditions that needs to be satisfied to submit a Recruitment Intent form. The most important part is the Salary. They must signify a salary larger than the salary offered by the original team. The "Total Amount" Concept that became a problem last year disappeared, and the standard simply becomes the salary.
Last year's FA process was most criticized because of the "The player must go to the team that offers them the highest total amount". However, this totally changed in this year's FA. First, the "Total Amount" concept disappeared, and regardless of the Salary, the player can choose which team they wish to negotiate with.
Once KeSPA receives the Recruitment Intent form, KeSPA delivers the information to the player. The Player will be able look at all the forms and choose one, and notify KeSPA and start negotiations. The choice of FA Contracts are given the the player. They can go to any progame team regardless of the salary.
However, like last year, the players are not allowed to bring in an agent. According to KeSPA, the current Progamer - Progame Team system is not a system that can be benefited by an agent, and according to the standard contract, the progame team you belong to acts as an agent. However if the player is not an adult, they can bring in a guardian. Furthermore, they decided not to publicly announce the contracts and salary related to FA
