It's in Chinese so if you know that you can see it here.



Following the discussions of ACE meeting about allowing the OB/OM teams to continue playing in events. There was some concern regarding their players using the "for-fun" organizations as a means of bypassing contractual obligations, as when these players retire their contract is considered suspended and playing on these teams does not invalidate these agreements.It's in Chinese so if you know that you can see it here.



The end result is that ACE have not decided against retired players competing (or the OB/OM groups on the whole), however they ruled against players who are playing under suspended contracts and these players are now restricted from entering competitions. Of the players on these teams (YYF, Zhou, DD, LongDD, 820 for TongFu.OB and Xiao8, LaNm, Burning, rOtk for Old Man) it seems that only Xiao8 is likely to be affected, as his contract is still with Newbee for the time being and is currently suspended, per his



The players who have retired once their contractual obligations have ended will still be allowed to be a part of these organizations, but those who retired and entered suspended contracts, namely Xiao8, will not.

If there's a retired player who hasn't fulfilled his contract with a team, then the team and the player must come over to ACE and go through the retirement procedure. After finishing the procedure, ACE will declare that his contract is frozen. If he wants to make a comeback and represent another team, then he must first fulfill his original contract with his old team, and only by doing that will he become a free player. Obviously it can't be that he retires and then can represent any team he wishes. This goes against our rules. If a person is a free player, then he is treated the same as all other free players. He can sign with and represent any team as long as he is a free player.

If they join ACE, then everyone will look at the situation the same and the rules everyone follows are the same. If he doesn't join ACE, then we don't have the say of what he does. @RealHeyoka | DreamHack StarCrafty Man
