gl getting 100k paying jobs as engineers 5 years out of college here in michigan. Youd have to work at a nice firm or something and move up relatively quickly from what I can tell. | ||

A retirement at this early stage would feel like squandering talent. Unless he chooses to play the remaining PL season and then either complete his mandatory military service before SC2 is too established or just takes time off to practice for the future before returning. I just hope all this ends well for Jaedong - he's the one who will be living this life after all, not his parents or his current team. | ||

Progamer isn't a real occupation which allows you to actually build your life around it. It sucks the life out of players and spit them out when they're spent. JD's parents have a foresight into this harsh truth and they're acting in the best interest of JD. | ||

I can understand them wanting to protect their son, but his mother's demand for such a massive salary just strikes me as mercenary and greedy. There are a lot of things JD has had to give up in relation to a 'normal life' to be a progamer, but the advantages speak for themselves. I think transfering to a new team where the burden is lessened or a serious re-thinking of the Hwaseung OZ approach to utilising Jaedong and the rest of the line up is needed.

I mean look at Calm... 130 won? for what? lots of PL wins? | ||

Not to mention his success in individual leagues. If Calm could get 130m, 180m for Jaedong is just ridiculous. I'm sure some teams like STX could easily pay Jaedong at least twice what Calm is paid. Fcking stupid FA rules! I hope Jaedong retires just to get out of Oz then get the pro license again and join another better team. | ||

 I hope JD keeps playing, but I guess he should do what's best for him... | ||

oz (just the corporation and managers and possibly even coach cho) and kespa are huge ass douchebags who don't give a shit about their players and only want $$$ JD is so homo for lomo (young, naive, passionate, w/e) that he doesn't care about being ripped off JD's parents are getting frustrated at the two above points and are becoming desperate as they know they are slowly losing with no offers having been made thus far seriously, 200m (salary plus bonuses) for JD when calm gets 130m (i dont even know if this includes bonuses) isn't simply unfair, it's cruel for such a devoted and successful player also, i'm pretty sure JD ain't going to retire and that the university thing is a bluff JD parent's are prbly going to be forced to take Oz's offer like someone said what they can do however, is to help contribute to the movement to remove kespa and all this abusive shit and replace it with something reasonable ppl are certainly getting more pissed off as protests are showing up at matches now lol it's time for a fucking progamer's rights movement if you ask me. | ||
