[討論] EG：未來的打算。是PartinG，還是Life?

IdrA's gone. Stephano will be gone as well. So, what's in the future for Team
Evil Geniuses?
Well, they're going to have a lot of money come August. IdrA's contract is
already off the books, minus some rent payments, and Stephano has announced his
retirement for August 15th (assuming he signed a one-year contract, his
contract ends around then anyway).
IdrA退役了，Stephano也馬上要離開了。那麼，EG的未來會怎樣呢?
EG會在今年8月份時攢下不少錢，因為IdrA和Stephano的離隊(後者應該是在8月15日合約到
期)。
In additional, they'll probably save some money on HuK in one way or another.
HuK's EG signing was announced on August 17th of 2011, and he re-signed with EG
in August of 2012, which tells us he has a 1 year contract. While we don't know
if EG intends to let him walk or re-sign him at a lower rate (considering his
form over the last year, a reduction seems inevitable), but in any case it's
not hard to assume he'll be taking up less of their money this August.
並且，從某種角度來說，EG也會從HuK身上節約出一些資金來。2011年8月17日，EG與HuK簽
約；2012年8月，HuK與EG進行了1年的續約。或許我們現在不知道到時候EG是希望他離開或
是跟他低價續約(過去1年的表現使得HuK的降薪不可避免)，但是在任一情況下，EG都能在今
年8月攢出不少的錢。
So, why is August important? Avid Brood War fans will probably have guessed by
now: KeSPA contracts end and free agency begins in August-September, at the end
of the Proleague season. That's right, EG could make a run at another marquee
KeSPA player.
8月為什麼很重要呢？星海1死忠們肯定會脫口而出:轉會期。KeSPA的合約截止日期以
及自由轉會都是在8-9月，也就是SPL賽季結束後。沒錯，這意味著EG有機會競逐另一KeSPA
大將。
KeSPA has always been super secretive about contracts, and any information we
know about contract amounts and lengths is typically from Korean news articles
stating unspecific sources.
KeSPA對於選手的合約有極其嚴格的保密規定，所以以下的任何合約細節，如工資和
時間長度，都是從聲稱無具體來源的韓媒上摘出來的。
The most lucrative potential target is SKT's PartinG. OSEN reported (English
translation) that his current contract with SKT is only until September, the
end of the Proleague season. OSEN reports a salary of around $65,000 for the
nine months, which should be easy for EG to cover with money coming off the
books.
最合算且具有極大潛力的目標當屬SKT的PartinG。OSEN報導過，他現在與SKT的合約僅到今
年9月，即SPL賽季結束。OSEN也報導說PartinG的工資大約是$65,000，時長為9個月--這對
EG來說很輕鬆，只需從大筆預算中撥出部分便可。
Besides PartinG, the only player who has both the skill and marketing value to
be worth a large salary for EG is probably KT's Flash. Unfortunately, it
doesn't seem too likely that he'll be free any time soon. The last time he was
supposedly going to be a "free agent," it was revealed that KT Rolster already
gave him an extension the previous year, in anticipation of free agency. At his
current pace, it's hard to see KT Rolster ever letting him out of their grasp.
除了PartinG之外，另一個具有高水平和市場價值，且值得付高工資的選手或許就是KT的
Flash了。遺憾的是，他近期根本不可能恢復自由身份。
上次他被認定過是“自由身份”，但fomos披露KT早已經跟他進行了續約。以他現在的競技
狀態來看，KT幾乎不可能對他放手。
Still, we don't know who will be available come August, and who will be
considered the best, or most entertaining player in the world. There are two
WCS Season left until then, and a LOT can happen in that time.
所以說，我們現在很難看出誰會在8月份前成為自由身份，誰會在那個時候成為當下最好的
，或是最具有娛樂精神的選手。還有兩個WCS賽季要進行，有很多事情都有可能發生。
The real question here is whether or not KeSPA will let one of their marquee
guys leave. The Association did loan out Jaedong to EG last November (Korean
media refers to it as a loan, though EG doesn't seem to care about disputing
this discrepancy) but that was all part of a larger plan to bring in EG-TL into
the Proleague, appeal to a western audience, and get some salary relief for
their internally funded 8th Team.
現在，最為現實的問題是KeSPA會不會放他們的大牌選手離開。去年11月份，
KeSPA租借Jaedong去了EG(韓媒用租借loan這個詞，但EG看上去並不在乎這個細枝末節所
引發的矛盾)，但是，這也僅僅是KeSPA大計劃(EG-TL入駐SPL聯賽，吸引國外觀眾，貼補內
部構建的第8戰隊選手工資)的一部分。
The Jaedong free agency debacle of 2009 taught us that KeSPA is more than
willing to implement arbitrary rules to make sure top teams keep their top
stars when it suits them. The rules did change to be more reasonable as a
result of the Jaedong controversy, but don't think for a second that the idea
of an ace level player leaving wouldn't make them come up with enough red tape
to package an elephant.
2009年Jaedong等人的自由身份風波， 讓KeSPA學會了更加依靠仲裁條例的完善，用以保證
明星選手存在於他們所契合的頂級隊伍中。
Jaedong事件使得管理條例變得更為合理，而且ace級別選手離隊所帶來的種種嚴重後果……
KeSPA根本不可能讓此發生。
While there's slim pickings in terms of star power, EG will definitely have the
funds to pick up skillful, solid StarCraft II players should they decide they
want to continue in Proleague (with or without TL). Revival, aLive, and Oz are
bandaids, and they're showing nowhere near the skill of players you want to
rely on as your core. But if it's cheap, pure talent they want, EG might as
well pick off players on ESF teams instead of going after KeSPA free agents.
當有設計到明星效應的微小選人機會時，EG當然毫不猶豫的動用資金來購入高水平，
穩健的星海二選手，也尊重他們的選擇--是否繼續參加SPL，是否附加/不附加TL身份。
Revval,aLive和Oz都是OK蹦般的存在，他們展現出了遠不如核心選手
的能力。但是，如果是便宜又有天分的選手，EG也可能從eSF隊伍中，而不是KeSPA自由身份
選手中，去挑選。
Speaking of eSF, there's them and foreign players to think about outside KeSPA.
But that's a year round opportunity as opposed to having a particular season.
After the PuMa fiasco in 2011, EG's approach toward picking up eSF players
seems to have become more cautious, due to fear of harming their relationship
with various Korean entities (GomTV is the chair of eSF, after all). But in the
end, one can only make so much of an argument about EG being the "bad guy" if
they are offering a talented players the money they deserves.
說到eSF，可以考慮的有很多，包括非韓選手。但是這是一個全年的機會
，而不是某個特定的賽季。在2011年PuMa醜聞後，EG選擇購買eSF選手變得更加謹慎許多，
因為畏於傷害到與各種韓國機構的關係(畢竟，GomTV是eSF的主席)。但是最終，雖然EG滿足
了天才選手們提出的薪資條件，人們也只會覺得EG是那個“壞人”。
As of now, it seems like Life is the only player they'd need that
IdrA/Stephano/HuK/whatever money to acquire. Rumors are that Red Bull is very
keen on keeping their logo on their little superstar, so it may take quite the
bid to pry him away. Of the foreigners, DIMAGA is the only notable, teamless
player who stands out, and perhaps he could become EG's next target depending
on his performance at WCS Europe. It's hard to speculate too much about the
foreign scene, considering Evil Geniuses already has Suppy and NaNiwa (on their
Alliance brand), and we'll have to wait and see who receives acclaim at WCS
EU/AM.
現在看來，考慮到IdrA/Stephano/HuK攢下來的餘錢，Life或許是唯一合適的選手。
有傳言說紅牛很熱衷於讓LOGO繼續印在他們的小明星上，所以EG應該需要較高的出價來挖走
Life。至於非韓選手，DIMAGA是唯一著名且沒有戰隊的選手。他在WCS歐洲賽區表現優異，
足以成為EG的下一個目標。但是非韓選手的情況不宜考慮過多，因為EG現在已經有Suppy和
NaNiwa，並且我們會等等看WCS EU/AM出來的優秀選手到底是誰。
On a final note, there are a lot of other considerations for EG as well. The
Alliance brand needs expanding, they need to think about what do with Jaedong
in November, and they need to think about whether or not they have the stomach
for another season of Proleague. Not only that, but they sponsor players in
multiple other games as well, and the cash could be redistributed in that
direction. But in any case, they are losing two of their biggest StarCraft II
stars, and they have the need and the money to replace them.
作為最後的總結，EG還會有更多其他要考慮的因素。他們要考慮聯隊商標品牌的擴充問題，
他們要考慮11月份與Jaedong的事宜，他們要考慮還有沒有足夠的膽量去參加下個賽季的SPL
。不僅如此，他們也會贊助選手去參加其他多種比賽，資金或許會重新流向其餘方向。
但是不論在任何情況下，他們已經失去了星海爭霸2的兩個巨星(Stephano和IdrA),
急需用金錢來補充餘下的空位。
