Good-bye to the Man of Virtue!

GGPlay is one of my favourite players and I don't know why. Best of luck to him in the future.

Wow, why don't people get it? It's not just having to play in a lot of games. It's the fact that you have all the weight on your shoulders, the mental pressure is huge. You know every game you lose makes the team lose, pretty much. It burns you out mentally faster than physically. And that's why Jaedong should find a better team with people who he can share his burden with.

god i REALLY hope jaedong doesn't go to SKT1, if he does there's nothing interesting to watch, who could possibly stop them at that point...nobody unless some dark horses rise up out of no where, guess it's possible but it would still be a sick lineup.

Jaedong to KT!

JD:

Flash:

They would both get a top-class player to practice their weakest matchups against. Can you imagine Flash without (relatively, 64.4% lololo) weak TvZ, or a Jaedong that is invincible vT?

I wonder if KT can afford Jaedong, though. More importantly, I wonder if Jaedong and Flash are on good terms with eachother outside of the game.

Also (sorry if I missed this,) but does anyone know how long NaDa re-signed with WeMade for?

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.



FBH and Jaedong probably would get along better on same team cause its all just entertainment.
Firebathero is still the best!

I think it's due to NaDa being super popular despite not doing that great now days.



People need to stop this! Ro8 in the two previous seasons of MSL (uber-close series vs best PvT in the world) and runner-up @ last year's blizzcon and this year's Heritage League IS doing great for someone who's been relevant in the progaming scene since 2002.

EDIT: Obviously I'm a fanboy but the shit he pulls off speaks for itself.

Well I'm not trying to bash Nada, but he isn't playing in top form recently (yeah I'm not counting heritage league). Just look at (T)NaDa's record after his series vs Jangbi. It's not like he's Tossgirl bad, but you have to admit Nada's high pay isn't entirely because of his skill.

The whole JD thing is pretty exciting. I'll miss GGplay - I've worked with him a few times now and he's a nice guy. GL to him in the future.

So from looking at the original thread, it seems like we'll know who the highest bidder is on the 26th?

man when you think that boxer, reach and nada in their prime had 300.000+ salary it makes u said seing how good jaedong is and getting only 140.000....Much in his rime was getting something like that and he never won anything...he should be getting more thats true but i would like him to stay in Oz coz he is simply the ozman...

...first Anytime now jaedong, it really seems that its hard to survive the coach Chos farting in ascensor

Wow I just found out now about GGplay. He is one of my favorite zerg players and I will always remember him when he wore the CJ uniform. terrible news for me, I will always remember him as that player who won an OSL. His last epic series were against Flash, GG indeed.

Am I correct in thinking that the free agency period is 2 weeks long? Because that would mean 2 weeks from now we will know which team bid the most on JD, and JD will enter into negotiations with them... THAT IS WAY TOO LONG TO WAIT AHHHHHHHHH.

edit: If JD goes to KT their name should be changed to the "KT Kings"

How come there's a lot of talk about where JD wants to go? I thought that he had to take the highest bidder now that he's declared a "free" agent. I guess teams are usually in talk with the players though so there is probably dealing being done on that level.

From the other thread:
KESPA ADDENDUM: August 14th
Amongst the bidding teams, the player is UNABLE to select their team of choice, and MUST negotiate a contract with the team that bids the highest amount.

Yes teams will bid like crazy for Jaedong...

Good luck though having a high performing player in a place he does not want to be.

Jaedong to KT for epic KT vs SKT rivalry.

Jaedong to SKT would be too much IMO. Best Protoss, best Zerg, best/second best Terran would absolutely destroy proleague. For SKT to lose, they would have to donate wins.

Because JD probably is still on the same contract from before he became the monster he is today. Which is exactly why he is doing what he is. He'll easily be up there once he signs this next contract.
