Yeah Waxangel for this update!

According to Jaedong's mother, Mrs. Kim Myung-Ae: "Alongside being unable to come to terms on pay, I just couldn't bear to see him to see him taking on the load (of the team) alone." In addition: "During the FA period, Jaedong himself wanted to stay on his team. But it was really hard as a parent to always have to see him so tired and overworked for the last year and a half."

Jaedong, born on January 9th, 1990, is not yet 20 years of age. According to the FA regulations, he requires the permission of his parents to sign a contract.

Mrs. Kim also said "We're very thankful to coach Cho for making Jaedong the best player. But I still want to see him play in a better environement."

Wow this sounds like a very familiar situation with Boxer.(I could be wrong clear this someone )

I remember this clearly. With boxer his father was angry with the lack of good protosses for Boxer to practice with. This was following his loss to reach in the OSL finals.

I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work the luckier I am.

Hwasin is obviously getting paid for his popularity not his preformance Must be nice.

Sounds like JD's mom is pimping to me; honestly Jaedong is going to be playing the same ridiculous amount of games regardless of the team (maybe a few less ace matches at skt1) and even if the team isn't entirely dependent on JD it wouldn't matter, the dudes self motivated. There's no sleep for the best player in the world, but at least on Oz he's with friends and gets tons of attention from his coach

Isn't Hyun supposed to be invincible in practice games? I hope he ends up on a team he can win games for.

Jaedong is leaving Jaedong? Oz is still ok though guys, it still has Mustachezerg, Piratezerg, and Ozsucksballswithoutme.

I'm curious to see how high the bidding goes for Jaedong. I still think Oz has a good chance to retain him. After all, they only have to pay 50.0001% of what any other club has to pay to out-bid them. Given that the player has no right but go to the highest bidder, Oz has a huge advantage in negotiations.

Concerning league appearances, Hwasin is still among the very best of the STX team: Making both MSL Ro16 AND OSL Ro16 is quite good. And he has been in the MSL Ro16 for how many times in a row before? Granted, he did not make it further this time, but still he is consistently playing in Starleagues.

Yeah lol.
Hwasin is always among the top TvZers and there was a couple of weeks some time ago where he was almost the best with a crazy TvP to match (but was brought down by Bisu...again...).

It's sort of a travesty that MBC is paying Sea more than Light.

Ro16 isn't nearly enough to warrant that kind of salary though when you look at other teams players that have done the same...

And tossgirl is a glorified bw spokes model...

Don't compare her to hwasin please.

Look at it this way, without Hwasin, without Kal.. STX is pretty much fucked. There aint many decent players available out there in the open market, thus STX has to cherish the decent players they have unless they want those players to jump ship.

Are they really paying sea more?
Light is the most consistent performer on MBC. Whenever I see the results page it's always mbc losing 1-3 with light having the only win and hyun, jaehoon and sea losing or something like that.
That's so unfair!

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).
