I heard July back in the days would just spam 30-40 games a day and I thought that is what all progamers do to some extent
Coaches have said that JD was one of the hardest working players they've ever seen. He worked his balls off. I remember one of his coaches (idk who) said that you could tell JD to do something, play x player this many times and he always did it without complaining.

Jaedong's worth ethic is something that everybody has praised, and is in my opinion, unparalleled in its longevity and intensity. July was an exceptional work horse during his peak, but due to various circumstances could not withstand the test of time. Also, there were numerous great players such as NaDa and sAviOr, who did not practice all that much, I mean, here's what Flash had to say about the great NaDa.
"In terms of gaming capabilities, the greatest genius of them all. That would be an apt summary. Remember that I was there besides him. I nearly quit gaming out of despair. He would play Sudden Attack all day, but still would go to all these finals. He didn't practice that much while I was there. But he would still win, it was simply mind boggling. The most mind boggling thing was how he would play games with me, then make my builds into his own. After just seeing it once! And it would feel like he would use them better than me. These builds that I spent all that time perfecting."
There are also numerous tales of NaDa just playing a couple of off-race games before huge finals and leaving it at that, and listening to music during tournament games.
However, with Jaedong, it's not just the sheer number of games that is astounding, it's the intensity with which he approached these practice games. He would record the results of every single practice sessions, and get mad as hell with even the smallest mistakes he might make. I remember Tyson saying that Jaedong would curse and rage every time he missed a dropship appearing on the mini-map during practice.

yes, JD is known to have a very rigid work ethic, the story of him getting very angry when he ever missed a drop is known to me to. For any casuals out there, for us normal players it's quite "normal" to spot drops late/not at all when you get into a longer macro game and many drops occur.

He uses the word "Returning" instead of "Playing" Is he avoiding to use that word because he is infact playing?

That's just crazy, if true. I've always had the most respect for Nada simply because he won starleagues in such vastly different eras of BW.
I don't believe it completely though. I'm sure NaDa massed as much as the others, there would be a sort of meta advantage if other people thought he didn't. If it demoralized Flash, it would demoralize anyone.

He probably said: Enjoy your ASL run into finals and try to win it because after I'll comeback I'm gonna give you a nightmare hard time.
