If so, that might be the smartest option, since he can skip the 140,000,000 deal for a year, then sign for 250,000,000 a year later, while also making it clear that Progamers /= slave labor and that KeSPA is not truly a player's union. | ||

Seriously, what was it like when Anytime retired prematurely to the air force? This seems like history repeating itself only no one gave a shit about Anytime because he wasn't on top and they had Jaedong anyway. Some days I think Korea is completely retarded. When you look at this joke that is Kespa, you see KTF coming up with names worse then a monkey could, MBC selling it's captain, star player, and star assistant coach apparently, (To become the joke that they are now, wtf did they think was gonna happen.) to the numerous human rights violations that is pro starcraft. Jaedong should retire. Starcraft doesn't deserve Jaedong. | ||

First, there is the language barrier, second, there is no parental control and he will most likely just do whatever the fuck he wants (some guy i knew, turned from a nice guy into a guy who everyone hated, did drugs, had sex to the point where he was kicked out of here). Third, he will most likely just chill with Koreans due to the language barrier which is kind of pointless because you can't learn english that way. Fourth, he is Jaedong so he is likely going to get quite a bit of attention from Koreans, who will be like "zomg master" so why leave Korea in the first place? Just my opinion. Jaedong has decent English fyi. | ||

EDIT: Sorry about all the negativity, but I don't want anyone else to suffer what ive gone through for about a year, as well as many others who have had this happen to them for much longer. | ||

If he wants a career that will take him overseas and if he wants the language to do that with now would be the time. FFS if he can study English anywhere near as hard as he practices SC, he'll be fine. It didn't take me that long to learn German to the point of being conversant when I moved there, and all I'd had was 4 years in high school and one in college that basically meant squat. He's guaranteed to be farther along in English than I was in German before I went. I had a German roommate, and four months tops (since that's when I went to a different city) I was fine on my own. He'd be fine. | ||
