I loled when I realized that Hwaesung Oz was summarized to Jaedong.

It's a good write up, but there's something missing - responsibility. Although a team like SKT1 or CJ might not offer him as much in absolute terms, Jaedong would end up with a more relaxed schedule, which is something he (or his mother) would probably like. With PL taking up so much time now, being on a stronger team will allow him to concentrate more on his individual leagues. He wouldn't even have to settle for that huge a difference in salary since success translates into more cash bonuses. That's the argument I'd make to him as CJ or SKT1.

I also do not think any team will want him if his mother forces him to sign with a team he doesn't like. I don't think they'd like a grouchy Jaedong mooching around the house not putting in his best.

I would love to see Flash/Jaedong on KT :D
As long as they fix their stupid ass name.

SKT would cool too. But I think your forgetting that UpMaGiC might not end up on eStro again. I am pretty sure hes another FA that might go elsewhere.

For once, I agree with Storyteller. A big problem for Jaedong this season was the fact that besides being involved in three seperate individual leagues for a very long time, he also had to carry his team through Proleague practically on his own (although, arguably, it was not nearly as bad as the Winner`s League).

As such, it would be highly beneficial for him to join a team that has other ace players that could ocassionally carry the team. SKT1 is the perfect choice for this since both (P)Bisu and (T)fantasy are more then capable of doing so and even players such as Best and (T)Canata can be leveraged at times. CJ and KT OLLEH! are also good choices, due to CJ having (Z)EffOrt and KT having (T)Flash.

As much as I'm an SKT1 fan, and I'd love to see them pick up a good zerg, I can't see them getting Jaedong being a good thing. Proleague has become a much bigger source of attention recently, and a team that can reliably 3-0 virtually every match would not be healthy for the league as a whole. SKT1 is already arguably the strongest team in PL right now. Beefing them up more (and in the process taking down one of their closest competitors) only serves to make the league more boring.

Except doesn't he have to negotiate with the highest bidder? Even if he might like a schedule on CJ or SKT1 better, isn't he not allowed to negotiate with them unless they put in the highest bid?

Sure but that doesn't influence which team he will go to since that will only be decided by who offers the most money.

If SKT1 buys him, it'll be like the Real Madrid of Korea. Buy all talent just by sheer leveraging of money. That would be sad. We need a team filled with passion a KHAN of sorts. I do hope he goes to CJ or estro unless Oz can do a reversal and get some good players AND retain Jaedong.

Oh right, I assumed that if "negotiations" don't work out before the deadline he can still go somewhere else and try to work something out.

I mean, "negotiation" implies that both sides have to give way, so what if in the course of negotiations the team decides to lower their original bid till it is lower than the next highest bidder? Or what if he makes such unreasonable demands the team decides that they don't want him anymore? Does that mean he has no choice but to go back to OZ, or if things breakdown in half an hour can he then move on to the next highest bidder?

I'm pretty sure JD's contract with Oz was 140mil with up to 60mil more in performance rewards which, assuming he wins this Osl, is probably going to get most of so really he probably makes around 180. Does the amount he can get in bonuses factor into the bidding war or the double payback? cause if not JD could get poached for 150mil and be making less than before

while not being able to choose is shitty, at this point getting hoards of money thrown into progaming isn't really a bad thing.

Furthermore, having 3 S class players on the same team could mess with team chemistry. In the individual leagues, they would all be favorites fighting each other. Practice gets difficult, its tougher to try new strategies (how can you be sure the other guy doesn't learn about it ahead of time?). Egos flare. I just don't see it working well, even if they somehow decide to pony up for all those large contracts.

KT seems most likely, agreed with OP.

Oh man... having Boxer and Oov on Jaedong's shoulder would be prettyyyyyy sweet. KT would be awesome too since that would preserve the JD/skt rivalry.
