Sure Jaedong will be a good player for SKTT1, but I dont think he would be in the best environment for him personally.

Jaedong is a monster and probably thrives on being the leader of his team. Being in the company of Fantasy and Bisu would mean he would have to share the star status.

Training partners are probably better SK, but Oz didnt have exceptional talent to train with, but Jaedong still rose to the top.

Sure he'd still be carrying the team, but it's not like Oz where he was literally a one man army.

This sentence makes no sense, Hiya and Backho may not be amazing but I'm pretty sure they're better than anyone on eSTRO.

When talking the price, I think many forget that it's either pay 200% of old salary or 100% and trade one of your own players except for 6 protected ones (as I understand it). I think giving Oz a player back would be the most beneficial for both sides, since Oz needs more quality and the chances to make the PL lineup in a team Jaedong plays for will decrease dramatically for the non-protected players.

Was the old salary only 60,000,000?
60,000,000 × 2 = 120,000,000 — no so much of course!

This is like 100% speculation to help support your hopes of JD staying out of SKT.

I don't understand how any reasonable line-of-thought could bring you to that conclusion...

It's a shame, really. I like Jaedong a LOT, but it looks like I'll have to keep supporting the player and not wherever he ends up, unless it's one of the scrappier teams.

Seeing JD in a KT uniform or what have you is going to be strange.

Actually, eSTRO is pretty much known for always losing 2-3. It's not like they always lose 0-3; They can get some wins. And if they had Jaedong getting that extra win and also an ace match victory, they would probably turn all of those 2-3's into victories. It's not like Oz where they always lose 1-3 with Jaedong winning one game.

Honestly I believe the team that will be most eager to purchase him will be one of the tv channel teams. Either Hite or MBC.

MBC is in a huge slump right now and we know they have the money because they had players like Bisu and July before. So Im picking MBC right now since they don't really have an ace whereas Hite has Leta. Although I also think that KT should bid on JD, but it would affect the superstar status of Flash and I don't think KT wants to do that.

The rest of the teams either already have their own superstars (and are paying alot for them) or, they just don't have the money to bid on him. In the end Oz is still the best team for JaeDong, hes been doing so well there and hes been there for so long and they are probably the only team that can afford him right now if they can just increase their bid a little, Im sure they can acquire him back.

The thing Im affraid with JaeDong is that if he moves to a new team he would go into a slump like Bisu and July and GoRush and a whole bunch of other guys. And theres no telling if he can come back like those guys.
Hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment

I don't get why people constently underrate Luxury. He's a top 3 zerg player when he's on, an MSL winner as well as a the winner of the World Cyber Games. He recently knocked Calm out of the WCG qualifiers. He's every bit as good as his brother Yarnc if not better! With a player like that, why in the world would KT want to spend bank on Jaedong? And don't give me 'because Luxury sucks' because he doesn't. -_-


To me, the best fit for Jaedong would be Khan because they have needed a great zerg (haha NPI) for a while now.


"He's a top 3 zerg player when he's on"
Yeah you might be right about that, but unfortunately he barely ever is "on".
No doubt he has the talent to be a great player but his performance in the last PL round was really really really bad and Calm, Kwanro, Jaedong, Effort have been doing much better and looking at individual leagues you can of course include yarnc and type-b on that list.
Is he gonna get out of his ass and play good again next season? Possible, but he's not a reliable player like JD and he probably never will be.

woot? ^^


Anyways, I'm not convinced that going to eSTRO would lift enough weight off JD's shoulders, so I'm hoping it'll be KT
(Well him going to CJ would by far make me happiest but that's just not very likely at all)

i think this is worded weirdly, it's not like they tied for the best record in proleague by always losing 1-3 >>

Additionally In the 4 rounds of proleague this season (excluding winners league), Oz went 3-7 in matches lasting 4 games. They also went 12-6 in matches last 3 games. Overall that puts them at 15-13 (53.6%) in matches that didn't go to ace. Meanwhile, eSTRO was 11-12 (47.8%) in matches that didn't make it to ace. Oz won many more sets (12) 3-0 than eSTRO (6).

I don't really know where I'm going with this, but in the end, Crunchums original quote is pretty ridiculous. jaedong carrying eSTRO is going to be no difference than jaedong carrying Oz.

I wouldn't say Samsung is that unlikely, considering they already bought JJu (top 3 zerg then iirc) and Sigamari (probably the best 2v2 player ever) in the past (2004 I think?), so they can spend big money on a top player. January is still the couch as she were then, the only big difference is that they have good players now (back then Khan was like a freewin in proleague), but still not good enough to be first. Also, there are rumors around that when Stork threatened them to go to KTF quite recently, he got a big payrise, so they still are willing to shell out money when needed.
I think Khan is easily among the 3 most likely teams to get JD, maybe even better (although KT should be the favourite).

Khan or Hite would be good places for JD to go to, especially cause their atmosphere will be friendly to JD

Estro/MBC/Fox probably need JD the most but can't afford

I think its a huge possibility that Oz will re-take JD, probably because they only need to pay 50.1%, and Oz knows how important JD is

It's because Luxury wins one game spectacularly, then loses the next 10 miserably. The OP is suggesting that buying JD would give them a boost from the dreaded #7 spot. To me, this makes perfect sense, but somehow Jaedong on any team other than Oz is kind of awkward o_o;;

Afaik, OZ will retake JD only if no other team puts a bid in on him

Probability of that happening? Pretty much zero.

From the other thread:
The source also revealed that they would offer JD the same contract if he failed to sign with another team.


So it is not whether a team puts a bid on him or not but whether they can offer him a better contract and he (i.e. his parents) decides to join the new team. The chances of JD staying with Oz are imho much higher than almost zero.
