So reading the forums, it seems like he just saved up all of his leave/vacation days that he couldn't use due to the pandemic, and now dumped several weeks worth right at the end. Basically, it seems like he's on "leave" for a few months, and can't resume civilian activities such as streaming until his service is technically over in December ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah smart man. Crazy to believe he's out of the military already (or almost).

Always looking for optimization in game and life. That's how everyone knows the Dong

Solid build order, optimal corner cutting.
You can take StarCraft away from the man, but not the StarCraft in his heart.
OT: Brilliant news, hopefully he graces us with his presence in the SC scene once more when he's ready.
Jaedong is my favorite e-sports player of all time across any game but tbh I hope he does not return to BW super competitively. He has already given us so much, I just wish for him to be happy and healthy and to take care of his wrists and mental health.
Times flies fast, didn't even notice that much his absence. Now it's time for Tyrant to have some rest and then murder all these mortal robots, parasites and aliens.

You will never see anyone playing BW now switch to SC2 again, that time was what 8 years ago? If anything you'll eventually see the current SC2 pros go back to BW once Blizzard stops financing GSL...
IMO ForGG made a mistake by switching back to SC2, he was getting better and better, I noticed it on his KSL matches, if he sticked around maybe he could even have chance to be top 5 terran.

Its not as much about results than about fanbase and donations. He just had more income and more stable base if you will in SC2 as far as I know.

Also ByuL and HerO[Shield] but they were even less successful in bw
Hype! so he only had to serve for like 15 months? Flash be done next August then? Here's to hoping JD can get back into ASL.. Zerg is so damn competitive atm.
It’d be interesting to see if JD has the desire and skill to get back to being a top BW player. He hasn’t been a top player for a long time but it’d be cool if he did. BW is in a better place when JD’s crushing souls.

Yea I mean, I kinda want JD to play, but at the same time I kinda wouldn't mind if he only played super casual and went out and got a girlfriend.
Dudes been playing his ass off for like 20 years, as much as it hurts me to say there really IS more to life then Starcraft.
Jaedong was vey strong prior to joinin military, and I believe he kept it somehow casual when it comes down to hours put into SC. I believe he will be back and he will aim for the top again.
Jaedong could a top tier player again, but only with a double wrist transplant or cybernetic wrist implants.
Seriously tho, I suspect if JD competes again his wrist issues will return despite his layoff from the military. I myself have wrist issues, and even with a long layoff (in my case 8 months) long-term care is needed to prevent recurrence of the pain.
I dont think JD could compete at the very top level again (like Queen/Soma/Hero level). Just look at Effort case. Prior to military he was in even better shape than Jaedong but after ASL11 he knew he could no longer compete at that level and decided to retire.
JD will try but his level will probably be one tier behind the top Zergs.

Effort had a difficult surgery while in military. He could compete but chooses not since the strain could cause complications. As far as I know, Jaedongs condition is much worse with eyealigments as well as broken hands 😞
Repetitive stress injuries are really hard to heal. I would love to see Jaedong return to the top, but it would be very understandable if he had other plans.
Congratulations Jaedong now own and dominate all terrans and all zergs but not a single protoss ever ever again. Come back and win more starleagues than flash. The key to defeating terran is utilizing the queen and weakening a terran command center to yellow and infesting their command center and utilizing infested terrans. Just by infesting a terran command center it cripples their economy taking their natural expansion slowing down their economy cripples them instantly. Zerg is stronger than terran jaedong always has been and always will be. Terran is the weakest race zerg is stronger than terran. However Protoss is the strongest race always has been and always will be. You'll never defeat a Protoss ever ever ever again. Good luck take your time. Flash just went into the military he has a ways to go he still has like a year to go over a year. He'll get out and never win another starleague again. Terran will never ever win again another starleague or another game ever again. Your better than flash jaedong way better just believe in yourself. However Bisu is better than you and flash put together. Own all terrans and all zergs but youll never defeat another protoss ever again trust me thats a promise thats a guarantee thats a guaranteed promise thats a promised guarantee. Take your time now if you want too. Also the key to defeating terran is utilizing the nydus canal to transfer drones to expansions to mine quicker and faster. You can transfer all zerg ground units through the nydus canal. The infested terran can run and suicide into all terran bulidings that arnt floating and into all terran ground units especially terran scvs which one infested terran can run into 1 terran scv and blow up almost all of the scvs that are mining for terran. 3 hat lurker 3 hat muta guardians and devourers 3 evolutions chambers upgrades melee missile carapace singe evolution chamber double evolution chamber triple evolution chamber. 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3.
