Guessing Jaedong retired and went to sleep seeing as he stated that he barely slept to practice?

1. ASL Korean e-Sports commentator(Lim-sung-chun) says that ASL season3 will start end of February or early March.
Now i do not know what is true...lol

2. JD rest only 1 day. he restart his streaming today. but because of his finger, he can not do many games for a while(until next season?).

This is his message to fan last night. I am not good at english, sorry..

' I am very sad.I thought that if I gave up on myself, I could never beat my opponent, so I really reduce sleep time and got a shot on my fingers and practiced it like I was in pro.This defeat give me a lot of scarcity and I will recover for the next season for the rest of the time. And I'm going to show you next season. Thank you again for your support. Because of regret and emptiness, It is hard to do streaming today. I will do streaming tomorrow. Goodnight.'

any balloons donated to the official afreeca stream during the finals will be going straight to the prize pool for that season.

From an earlier post I thought he wanted to take a trip somewhere after this ASL?
If anything, I feel like JD needs a break to improve; recover, reflect and analyze. E.g., How is EffOrt taking sets from Flash?
He said he would work on his Muta control since Ro24~~, but he hasn't delivered in that regard unless you're delusional enough to say he said that solely to mindgame his opponents~~. Actually, he has improved some. I don't recall a bad irradiate split from last night's series, but I need to rewatch them.

5.7m viewers[1] + >$20m USD prize pool? Let's not get too carried away. If 1 balloon ~= 100 KRW then 230m+ balloons are needed. Unless the celebs who follow all open up their purses.. However given that them and (from my perception) most typical viewers are fans of particular players, this brings me to my next point.

I hope it's not perceived that it's only because of TBLS that this ASL (and BW's resurgence in general) has been a huge success otherwise all of this could die down by exactly them leaving/not performing well or just not being entertaining. For example, it's probably for the best FvJ went to Game 5 just so there's more buzz. At least Stork streamed his date after his stomp. The impending clan wars should help, as it gives followers something more general torally behind.

I was wrong. Bisu Terror and Sea are drinking together.

Flash said they are all gonna go drink and hangout when the final is over. (Flash Sea Bisu and Jaedong)

Nobody likes Stork. I knew it all along!

Damn, JD taking it quite seriously for somebody who didn't have enough BW training time. I think he needs a week rest after such matches. Hope time cures his troubles and he'll be back improved.

If I understood correctly, he said that Flash used scan on minerals so he can do an SCV drill in game 4 :O wow, I would never think of such play

it was creep colony. He assumed Flash would scan his nat and made creep colony at the choke to make Flash think that there is no sunken. He wanted Flash to attack him so that he can attack Flash's base when all Flash's army was at his JD's base. But, Flash scanned right where JD was going to build sunkens.
