The scforall article is terribly misleading. These players are NOT free agents at this time. This is for 2009, ok? Thank you.

Also, the current list of players is an estimate of who will qualify as a FA according to their standards.

don't worry, KNF will be covering this entire thing (fomos has a 6-piece article on it) in our next issue where we will get into the details of exactly what it entails.

Well, it wouldn't make sense otherwise because we're in the midst of the PLs.

I'd assume the timing of FA have to be between PL seasons. Otherwise, you have cases where say Lecaf wins the regular season only to have Jaedong go to another team right before the finals.

I hope there's a salary cap based on team revenue for the sake of parity and emphasis on developing players rather than just buying them Yankee-style. But I have a feeling the rich is only going to get richer in this scenario.

Meh

I don't really understand the idea behind this, it just allows the rich teams to become even better and the poor teams sink deeper in the ranks, how can Woonjin or eSTRO fight the offers KTF or SK can lay on the players.

Well I guess its good the players are more.. free now.

If they have a Salary Cap like what the NFL has, it could work out well.

According to LosingID8, expect the full-out translation on KNF by Monday or Tuesday

+ Show Spoiler [Sneak peek] +
... February of 2005, Choi Yeon-Sung (iloveoov), a part of SK Telecom, signed with KTF although his contract with SKT has not been terminated. As the truth came to light, there was a great controversy. Afterwards, Choi reported a termination of contract to KTF and re-signed with SKT. Although this could have grown into a much bigger problem involving lawsuits, the case came to a close when Choi was reprimanded with a 3 month ban from team leagues and a total of 5 million Wons (approx. $5000 USD).

I don't want to start to bitch already before the article explaining every detail comes out, but this free agency smells... Even if they put a salary cap on it, it better be a hard cap, because I don't think going over the cap and paying a luxury tax is going to be a problem to teams like KTF and SKT.

Btw, the 15% games played rule sux. What's the amount of games you played matter? I mean, if you have played so many few games in PL and haven't qualified for any individual league, chances are the team won't even care about that player leaving, and maybe he can look for another team that suits him better and further develop.

I hope they at least include Restricted Agents, so poor teams at least have a chance to match any offer made from the shark teams.
