Lol it would be so funny if JD doesnt sign for Oz...
Oz fans on teamliquid will drop to maybe 2 or 3 people.
But that would be better for BackHo, maybe he becomes the OZ Ace and start to play serious =D

If SKT, Khan and KT all offered the same amount or similar amounts, I'd pick KT if I were JD

joining SKT would seem unlikely due to the crushing blow that JD recieved from SKT recently, plus I don't think the atmosphere would be too good with his rivalries against bisu and especially fantasy. All the tricks that SKT pulled off against JD in the finals are just still too fresh in JD's mind I think.

I wouldn't go to Khan either, because I don't think JD would get along with FBH after their incidents with each other, and also I don't think Stork ever got over his loss to JD in the OSL finals.

therefore, assuming that KT offers a similar amount to the above two teams, and assuming no other teams will be able to afford the (280M OR (140M + player)) + salary payment...
then KT has JD.

JD doesn't get to choose, all that matters is who offers the most.

JD to MBC would be much better, without making any overpowered teams. JD, with Sea, Light, and Pusan as supporting cast sounds pretty nice, plus MBC needs to find a replacement zerg for Hyun anyway. However, MBC is a farm team, which makes me think they have money problems and can't afford him. Ah well, maybe estro has deep pockets.

Also, I can't stand the idea of olleh KT Rolster Jaedong.

If Jaedong signs with SKT, proleague will be boring due to lack of any semblance of parity between the teams. Because of that, personally, I want Jaedong to stay in Oz or move to a team that would be more preferable for a level (to an extent) playing field.

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.


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.



idk... I think JD seems like the type who sincerely wanted to stay with his friends and teamates, but definately did not want to disobey his parents concerned and my-best-interests-at-heart advice

when it comes to oriental cultures, parents definately hold the most respected and unassailable position in an average person's life. plus, JD seems rather conservative and traditional at heart.

well yeah, thats why i said same or similar amounts

theyre not going to force him to go to skt if skt offers 1 won more than KT

but in regards to the reality of the 3 teams actually offering the same or similar bids, i have no idea. i'm fairly certain KT and SKT can prbly outbid Khan, however SKT definately has less of a need to get JD onto their team, and i don't know how desperate Khan and KT might be. it's all just speculation here.

I doubt the players/coaches would care about small stuff like that if it meant getting the best zerg around today.

Personally I hope he goes to Khan.

Aw, GGPlay. I knew he didn't have anything left but it's still unfortunate.

Hooray, free resigned.

I'm not surprised that practically everyone resigned given the way the system is set up.

Poll: Where does Jaedong end up?
(Vote): olleh KT
(Vote): Samsung KHAN
(Vote): SKTelecom 1
(Vote): Hwaseung Oz
(Vote): Woongjin Stars
(Vote): Other

Liquidbet this?

Odds:
3-1:
On paper, KT is the best fit for (Z)Jaedong. With a co-ace and decent team to back him up, Jaedong's load would be substantially lessened. Moving to KT would probably give Jaedong the best chance at winning the PL, which is undoubtably his top priority in the future. Moving to KT holds the tantalyzing prospect of improving Jaedong and Flash's individual results, as both would have their loads lessened. But KT players are also notorious for not performing up to standards upon joining the team. KT shoudl already be stacked on paper with Luxury and forGG, but they still missed the playoffs. KT is an odd bird.

5:1: KHAN is another good choice for the zerg. With a top-notch.coach, and a solid supporting cast, Jaedong would also have a strong shot at the PL finals in Khan Blue. But Khan's non-toss players are not to much of an improvement over Oz, and they are also a team that underperformed last season. With a less-than stirling practice reputation, Jaedong's work-ethic might bring inspiration to Khan, or clash with it.

10:1: Moving to SKT1 would be insane, no doubt about it. But SKT1 already has enough top talent, they've just won the PL finals, and they're not run by a member of the Steinbrenner family, so why would they shell out the money for Jaedong? I'm sure if Jaedong went to SKT1, it would ruin all the fun (T)fant(T)oov has when devising strategies. It would ruin that rivalry, and make the PL much less interesting. Would this even be good for e-sports?
