I think he's fine where he is.


These two statements don't really work together :p

If I took a wild guess and looked at every team out there, I would pick JD to end up at...

MBC?!?!?

Yeah. Look, MBC ain't that great. They've got a new star in Light, a fading one with time still left in Sea, a sometimes-decent Zerg in Saint, and a bunch of flukey Protosses. Even with all that, a little less fail from Sea after round 2 and MBC would have made the playoffs.

If they've got the money, adding Jaedong could make MBC a contender for #2 (after SKT still, probably). MBC coaching isn't Coach Cho, of course, but: Light is currently better than HiyA or Lomo - Sea and HiyA I'd put about equal right now, Lomo's still a wild card. Saint is worlds better than OZ's extra Zergs. Pusan and Jaehoon can probably shake out about equal with BackHo and the random tosses (although Perfectman?).

I'd actually say the same for WeMade, and the prospect of a team with Nada, Mind, and JD - and Baby?! - oh may. WeMade's Zergs are better than OZ's Terrans, although WeMade tosses... ugh.

Alternatively, OZ can go all-out for go.go - between HiyA, Lomo, and go.go, with Killer/ggaemo to spell JD once in a while and BackHo/??? to hold the toss line, I see a lot less pressure on JD like that.

But I'm rooting for JD to MBC.

Jaedong to Khan Please! There would be more Khan fans and then OneOther wouldn't feel so lonely

Just thinking about Stork/Jangbi/Jaedong/Firebathero makes me happy!
Firebathero is still the best!

I'm almost 100% positive jaedong will stay with Oz and is only declaring free agency to get a payraise which he will get (and deserves).


my thoughts exactly.. considering how much another team would have to pay to get JD it doesn't even make sense to buy him. (200% to the team plus his salary on top of that)

JD should stay on Oz and watch Perfectman develop.
Then Perfectman can be the 2nd S class player to JD. ^_^

SKT has too many large contracts, I don't think they can absorb another one. Nor am I convinced it makes sense to take on this extra cost, they are already the strongest team.

I think JD will either go to KTF or stay at Oz. I'd like to see him with Flash.

I'd love to see that and maybe see the other newer players step it up in Oz as well, then maybe JD's parents won't be as worried about their child overworking and burning out before the age of 30 lol.

Hmmm, Khan works maybe, they don't have much in the Z department.

Khan, KTF or Oz it is then!

I want Jaedong on KTF... the two of them would be able to share carrying the load (seriously, both of them almost carried their respective teams, together they'd actually make the team pretty good), and it'd make both of them better; Flash has some strange issues (lack of good practice partners?) for his TvZ builds and Jaedong's worst matchup now is arguably ZvT. Perfect fit!

I don't see why combining flash's TvZ with "issues" and jaedong's "arguably worst mu ZvT" would help them. Wouldn't it be better if they did not share worst mu?

there are two teams who can afford paying big ammounts of money for a player: KT and SKT.
I would be really dissapointed if he goes to KT, where are 3 players I dislike. Anyways, if he changes team (even if that is SKT) i will remove my team sign and wont replace it.

They've got some issues but Flash' issues look more like lack of polish (messed-up turret timing cost him against Kwanro, I can only speculate but it looked like his practice partners just screwed that up), and Jaedong's ZvT is his worst matchup statistically but it's still pretty dang good :p Practicing against each other would, at least theoretically, remove the lack of polish from Flash' builds and thus equate to them having to raise their levels of play against each other. After all, even though it's their statistically worst matchup it's not like they're shabby at it, they're just so freakin good at the others.

The only thing I care about right now is that at the end of this FA period Midas is on a team where he can see playing time. Midas to Woongjin! Free Jun Sang Wook!

JD should go and join KTF, then they can rename the team into "KT FlashandJaedongowningeverybody(psbisusucks)"


Seriously though JD and Flash could split Ace duties, which would be great for both of them, they're basically the two most overworked progamers in the game right now.

Still I wouldn't mind JD staying with OZ after all, I'd feel pretty bad for them if they'd lose their main player. Though I'm glad that it seems like they'll split on good terms, if they do.
