Trade lock until October 2013, that is a too long time IMO. Something like late spring/early summer 2013 would've been better
|
Would a player like Fruitdealer be able to join a kespa team?
|
too long... half a year would be better
|
wow, that is an incredibly long time. didn't expect it to be that long.
|
Good idea but really long time , we'll have to see how this works out.
|
That's soooooo long. I wonder if players are allowed to let their contracts expire so they can join other teams.
|
There are SO many ins and outs, loopholes and ramifications to this agreement that we don't know about, that have such important implications. What's the exclusivity cover? Who exactly can't go where? Who CAN go where? Jesus this is pretty monumental. And a year is a fucking long time.
|
By the way, we could consider their chosen date - Oct 2013 - as a reasonable estimation of when to expect Kespa players to be considered "fully developed" in SC2. By that time we'd know if they dominate the scene as predicted or are just "alright".

This lockout imply no more korean/foreign team partnerships till oct'13? What happens if foreign teams sign KeSPA/GSL players, ie dignitasFlash, and then the team partners with Prime?

And the other way around as well.
Or does it mean the moment you get slapped with the GSTL tag, you can't join a Kespa team regardless, even if you leave the team in the meanwhile?
I was thinking the same thing, I suppose there are sneaky ways around it....or you could temporarily announce that your retiring..and then claim that you could not stay away from the game and come back :p

I can see the benefits, but in all honesty it kinda sucks that it locks the players to teams they are on.
|
Ugh, the stupid progamer licenses. They need to do away with it.
|
Wow I didn't expect it to be this long of a trade lock, but I think it's good that they are doing something like this.
|
"Meanwhile, a pro gamer license given by KeSPA will be distributed to current StarCraft 2 players. Any players previously qualified in GSL Code S and Code A can opt to apply for Progamer status, and once the required professionalism seminars are completed, a Progamer license for StarCraft 2 will be awarded to them."
IMO this is the biggest news. Now anyone, including foreigners, who's been in A or S can have a Progamer License - something previously insanely difficult to get!

Flash maybe but EG.Jaedong doesn't seem too unreal.
EG loves hype and they excel at promoting their sponsors.
Just think how Jaedong is popular outside of Korea, getting extra money from sponsors for that kind of exposure shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Good for the teams, not so good for the players.
