Maybe he will not go to USA? His parents said just maybe he will go and study in another country.

Any new details besides that?

Okay key points

- Final decision seems to be in the hands of Jaedong's parents
- Jaedong's dad said that if negotiations fail, Jaedong will probably retire and go to the US to study
- But Jaedong given more time (28th to 31st) to negotiate further with Hwaseung
- Hwaseung team shows no desire to let Jaedong retire

Basically Jaedong's parents are being -____-



US comp sci is superior.

I'm going to email Jaedong a Digipen pamphlet.

If JD retires then the whole league is gonna blow wide open.many players are gonna get the chance to win their 1st tourney.so it's a good thing for them.but,the fans sure as hell won't like to see JD retire so soon.

They should rename every single tournament with the suffix "...but without Jaedong"

Meaningless victories IMO.

If negotiations fail Jaedong should come to Canada and study with me. We can be bffs. He can teach me the way of the zerg and I can teach him the way of the Canada, eh.

JD should come to SUNY SB. There is a huge Asian (Korean and Chinese specifically) population here; in fact they're the majority. Some of these kids just get by on their English >_>
Got a ton of Majors here.

Hasn't college semester already started in the US? I know it was around mid-late August back when I was in school. I don't think that has changed, has it?

If Jaedong waits a year, he might as well turn semi-pro and decide everything next year.

That's pretty close to unfeasible due to Jaedong being an international undergrad student. And I believe his English, according to those who went to last year's WCG, isn't exactly fluent. Cutting into school from the spring semester isn't easy to do.

hmm, now that you've mentioned it, i've never really considered the language barrier or cultural differences
sending JD to uni is getting more and more ridonkulous
