That Jaedong zvp pro rep pack from 2010 was the best thing that happened to zerg.

This dude was the epitome of hard work and competitive spirit. Sad to see him go, but happy to know that even if he doesn't return to Starcraft he'll probably succeed in whatever he decides to put his heart and mind into next. GL Jaedong!

I hope he comes back to BW when his time in the military is over. BW without JD isnt the same.

Great read. Thank you BigFan

Wish him all the best. Are there any good JD games lately? My latest memories of him was unpleasantly watching him get crushed in the ASL and KSL by Last and Flash

Thank you BigFan for the writeup. It was sad that the last years before his service were a little lackluster but what an amazing career this guy has had. It's rare to find someone who wouldn't be a fan of his killer instinct and the image that he's giving it his all in-game. I wish him all the best in his future!

Jaedong forever!! Fighting~

As the biggest JAEDONG fan in the whole universe, I am both happy and sad right now! Maybe his wrist will get better, who knows.... let's hope Starcraft will still be a big thing when he returns!

That game on Benzene against Flash is the game from his post kespa I will never forgot and that is so defining of what JD can do. Imo no other Zerg in the history of BW could have pulled that off. The timing and especially decisiveness is what made his aggression work against all odds.

I never knew there was a BW scene back in the day, so i never had a chance to see Jaedong in all his glory until SC2.

Might not have the best results in SC2, but still showed his class and championship pedigree. All the best for your military service Jaedong!

Oh man those were the glory days I tell you, I remember the OSL/MSL/Proleague finals threads would get up to 300+ pages on TL.

I first saw a game of Jaedong back in 2008 or so and I had never been that impressed. He kept inspiring me since, truly an exceptional player. I love his playstyle and attitude towards the game and life in general. Really hope he can heal himself a bit during that break.

Good luck whatever you end up doing in life afterwards!

I thought just like Stork he will be exempt from military but guess I'm wrong... Almost no pro can make you excited and jump out of your chair like he does. He has the spirit of champion - no matter how bad his conditions, no matter how strong opponents are - JD already showed in KeSPA, in SC2 and post KeSPA/Afreeca era that he can climb to the top.

Never gonna say goodbye. We will be waiting and watching over you Tyrant!

Was Stork exempt? Why? Health reasons?

Good luck in military, Jaedong!
