I would love if Broodwar got big everywhere. After all its simply demand/viewership that attracts sponsors. If suddenly 100k people decide its worth to play and watch Broodwar we might just get that. Yes I know this is just a FantaSy :D

with no beta release date (in sight) it's probably best to hold off on speading it for fear of hyping it too early and all interest being killed before it's released

Jaedong has not looked motivated or happy in sc2 since 2014/15, hopefully he can enjoy BW again. What about his military service though?

Im not surprised he does not enjoy Sc2 anymore, samething happen to every successful bw player, they usually do not enjoy sc2 and they play just because or a contract.

Not surprising at all. After he left Korea his results have gotten worse and worse over time so it seems obvious this has let to low motivation.

Also, with the current WCS system, he can only compete in Korea and to do so he would have to live in a teamhouse which he has stated he doesn't want to do any more.

So going back to BW is pretty much the only option he has left if he wants to keep playing Starcraft.

I mean at this point we need to see and support the new generation of players and the upcomming foreigners. You can never hype the only generation of players. But alot of ppl using it as an excuse to bash SC2

No problem for me that JD is going back to BW. But my problem is using it as a excuse of random forum users to force their opinion to others...

I think he showed us all how great was his tenacity, by fighting over and over to get good at this game, that's truly an inspiration. He has nothing to prove.

But he should have retired a year ago, when it was already clear he couldn't be relevant to this scene any more.

Best of luck to him in the retirement castle, he will probably make more money there anyway.

I love watching Flash's stream and other BW streamers. I would love to tune into JD's stream as well :D Never played BW myself but I certainly can appreciate the game.

I love Jaedong but would never want him to play a game he isn't interested in. Best of luck to him whatever he decides...and if it's BW, I'll definitely be watching. He has one of the most impressive and pleasing POVs to watch in my opinion.
