This may or may not be in the thread or Waxangel's thread, but when exactly will we find out where Jaedong is going?

... of course I'm speculating...
But based on the histories of certain teams we can make some predictions and whatnot

I really wonder if the Lecaf coach will be replaced in the near future. OZ has gone from PL champs a year ago to, if JD does leave, the potential worst team in proleague besides ACE. In the last year he's let Anytime leave, and drove ForGG away. Which indirectly is causing JD to seek a new team.

This guy has really done a number on OZ.

edit*

it's been a while and I can't remember the exact details, but wasn't problems with the coach part of anytime's reason for leaving lecaf, or am I mixing that up with ForGG's deal
Perhaps, but keep in mind that he's been the coach of Oz since like 2003, possibly 2001. He's built this team from the ground up - and so it's not like he's a terrible coach... just mishndled this situation haha

I think the sleeper team in this whole thing is Woongjin. They've got all of GGplay's salary coming off their books, and we haven't had a chance to see anything to judge the spending power of the new sponsor.

We should know everything for certain by the 27th. But teams are already bidding on jaedong right now. Jaedong will not be informed of the teams bidding and how much, and will only be aware of the highest offer after the bidding war ends (afaict). Jaedong only has the choice between signing with the highest bidder or signing with hwaseung, he can't choose based on where he would like to go.

It just doesn't seem like eSTRO even cares about its players. It's cute how they're getting some foreigners but it just shows how little they really care.

Excellent blog. 5/5.
I couldn't imagine to see JD with Bisu. The 2 rivals, looking for the top 1 ranking in the same team? hm... hard to believe...
I really want Jaedong goes to Samsung. Stork and JD could be a could duo. If Stork manages to have JD has Z partner, his PvZ will improve like the hell.

this.

fantasy/jd/bisu on one team would be just unfair. They would be able to send out whatever race the ace map favored if it ever got that far.

One angle in all of this that gets missed is that Jaedong himself wants to stay at hwaseung... it's only his mother who either out of genuine concern for his health or genuine concern for his financial wellbeing wants him to go to free agency, and her signature is needed. I think it's entirely possible that no matter what he gets offered he'll reject it and then return to hwaseung, if he can convince his mother otherwise.

how's jaedong and fantasy ganna get along? they had so much beef, jaedong knocked fantasy out on 2 straight OSL and then fantasy in return denied jaedong's proleague championship. Iloveoov and boxer designed strategies to beat jaedong, and take advantage of jaedong's extreme confident in winning at any situation. they didn't design these strategies to beat zerg. It just happened that every other zerg player picked the wrong race and got experiemented on by fantasy.

proof? day2 proleague final ace match, the strategy was commenced before fantasy and jaedong step into their booth, jaedong was set up before the game even started!.
when jaedong sees Fantasy talked to only iloveoov, jaedong thinks "only oov and not boxer? they must trying to trick me into thinking about a terran macro build, and then cheese me good" jaedong's action in response to the talking of fantasy and oov is 12pool safe build anti cheese. when jaedong's overlord fly over fantasy's expansion, saw the wall in and a rax building jaedong thinks "oh shit they got me, they knew i was watching them and knew i suspect talking to oov only will prompt me to go safe build, they already took the econ advantage now, since i went pool first." in response to this scouting information jaedong goes expo and fast tech while making minimum defense and lings in order to savage his already delayed 2 hatch mutalisk timing. but little did jaedong knew that rax he saw building was the 2nd rax.

See this is a fuckign set up and great acting, fit for jaedong only because they know jaedong thinks he is the better player and willing to play catch up vs any player, and SKT had nothing to lose, because they still got bisu the next game, even if jaedong suddenly lost all his confidence and decided that he can't beat fantasy when he's at an disadvantage. (jaedong despite have only 5 drones after hwashin's bunker rush, still confidently thinks he can beat hwashin straight up, and proceed to drone up instead of all in)

Great blog... like rei, I think the Jaedong/Fantasy situation if Jaedong moved to SKT1 would be pretty epic.

I'm fairly certain that starcraft is just a game, and these two people really don't give a damn about what happened between them. They were doing what they had to do.

The only time I can think of where there is genuine tension between players is when something like the tossgirl/yellow thing, where yellow lost and people accused him of sexual relations or some shit.

But in reality, I'm certain jd/fantasy don't hate each other.

edit: and what if two teammates meet each other in individual leagues? After one loses, does he go home and beat up the winner? Of course not.

why did Oz have to release their offering price for JD? Unless they get to offer one more time after all this stuff is done, I think that was retarded.

Just in terms of teams with money and need for a good zerg player I'd have to guess Samsung as much as I'd hate to see that, At least Jaedong's mother would approve of their practice style
