Considering that Hite has been letting players go for $$(Luxury/Shine)..It's unlikely imo that they would acquire a major player like Jaedong.. More likely is probably one of the big players throwing some cash around..Should be interesting forsure

JD to KT would make the KT-SKT1 rivality revive in an epic fashion.

Please be trolling :'( I know he's slumping bad and probably won't come back but he's my second favorite player after Stork because he looks like a girl I had a crush on...

I really hope he does not sign with SKT, it would just be so game breaking. I selfishly want him to end up at KT, but it seems like that could create the most compelling pro league rivalry ever. It seems like there is a good chance of KT putting up some major money, just look at the effort that has been going into branding and rebranding the team.

I hope he ends up with SKT1 and the level of starcraft Bisu/JD/Fantasy produce via inter-practice goes up like 5 notches.

JD's switch to SKT1 or KT would just make PL boring to watch imho, the reason PL is so entertaining and the most important stage for any player is because of the competition and the hard work players put forth every match. Having a team that onesides everyone would kill that spirit of competition. And sure, JD's overworked but he's not the one who wants the switch, its his parents.
I hope he stays with Oz though.

Same here, plus I feel like Jaedong ending up at KT would be a huge boon to Flash's individual league performances since he wouldn't have to focus so much on carrying the team.

And I think it would be better than him going to SKT because KT still has to deal with a weak protoss line (unless Violet manages to avoid sinking into mediocrity, which seems unlikely tbh) whereas SKT's biggest weakness was of course their weak zerg line, and they still managed to take first place and win the grand finals.

I hope SKT1 doesn't get JD because at least one of their big 3 will get lazy and slump terribly. I'm also thinking I hope Khan doesn't get JD because Stork would never have a reason to stop over-watching anime ever again. Go-go Estro - GosI[Flying] can take some of the ace load off for the Legend Killer.

I really doubt JD's parents refused to let him sign over his protests. It's just a really convenient way of refusing to sign without looking like the bad guy.

JD has seemed really stressed out lately. Dropping those PL finals games, and a ZvZ MSL semi were such remarkable under performances for him. Then he had to go to the hospital because he was so sick from over working. If in addition to that they offered him only 140,000,000, I would be shocked if he had not already packed up his stuff.

As for JD to KT, which I fully support as a rabid fanboy. I think that would be so great for pro-starcarft, JD's PL burden would be so much lighter, and there is no one else who could do a better job of helping Flash tighten up his early game and improve his strategic play.

if Jaedong ends up in SKT there's no point in following PL anymore.. Though I think his mom made the right decision.
