With GGPlay retiring it makes the most sense to be honest.

Before that news was announced I didn't believe that would be possible but now...I bet it's either Woojin or STX.

Jaedong to woongjin would be awful.

It's a good thing that the good teams can't afford him. Jaedong on Kt, Sktt1 or khan would imbalance progaming so badly.

SKT Bisu/Fantasy vs KT Jaedong/Flash is like the SKT iloveoov/Boxer vs KTF Reach/Yellow I guess of the modern age.

This. I only hope Jaedong adjusts quickly and well. I think flash is like one of two players JD actually "ggs" too as well lol.

Why would JD to Stars be so bad? Apart from making the Stars relevant and OZ suck, it really wouldn't change anything significant. IMO Stars on paper would still be weaker than at least SK and KHAN. Of course, that's why we play the games.

10% or so is an incredible amount, fyi. Zero's vP is terribly inconsistent whereas Jaedong boasts a 71%+ winning percentage since his first osl win.

Hite seems like a decent fit for jaedong, despite his terrific record against the team. Leta and him are good friends, at least from what I could surmise in his interviews. If that doesn't happen, I'm hoping KT will offer well.

Zeros ZvP is pretty solid, even though inconsistent is a word to describe zero himself saying his ZvP is terribly inconsistent is a ridiculous overstatement.

Light told me that Jaedong would either join WeMade, Woongjin, STX or stay at OZ, as Samsung, KT and SKT dont have enough money to afford him. Meanwhile Guemchi also told me that Jaedong to Woongjin is quite possible.

If Jaedong were to transfer to Stars it wouldn't be that different from staying on Oz. Stars has Free, Zero, Piano but Oz has Hiya, Backho, Lomo. Maybe Stars is stronger than an Oz without JD, but the difference doesn't seem to that much and wasn't the whole reason JD's mom wanted him out of Oz was because he was carrying the team?

He would probably just end up carrying Stars instead of Oz.

Wemade? Wemade was at the bottom of the ranks so unlikely to be mom approved.

STX would make sense if they could afford him given the strength of the STX line.

I dont know how you compare in good conscience, FREE, ZERO, and piano to lomo, hiya and backho, LoL stars dont need to be carried by anyone else, When it comes to down the ACE match Free has the Terrans and the Zergs, Zero has the Terrans and the Protoss. OZ just has Jaedong. This isnt even a comparison.

My predictions

Midas to Hite Sparkyz. He'll get a lot of playing time since Hite has so few terrans.

Hyun to WeMade to bolster their weak zerg line-up.

go.go to Samsung Khan b/c he'll be a perfect compliment to FBH.

Jaedong back to Hwasung Oz. I think JD's parents will have a change of heart after seeing how happy JD is staying with Hwasung than with other teams.

Stars also have Guemchi, who is probably at least slightly better than Lomo.

This really isn't true at all, though. Hiya was nothing more than a sniper before his WL fame, and he dropped back off the radar afterward. He was 7-13 to finish off the PL season - part of the reason why Hwaesung fell out of first place after they amassed quite a lead during WL. Lomo has never been very impressive either. Backho has shown some really solid play at times, and I think he will continue to do so, but he hasn't been able to be consistent due to various factors (not all his fault). All three players have sub 50% win rates.

I don't see how you can compare them to free and ZerO, honestly. Even PianO shows more promise than the Oz players IMO.
