You have no idea how hard it is =[ I think he kind of realized that starting studying now isn't going to be easy when most kids start preparing for univ at... like fifth grade.

He has a lot of time until August when he can regain his license, so I guess he'll just go to somewhere like Seoul Cyber Univ(like JD, Midas, Best, ...)

Having taken 2 gap years, I know how hard studying can be after a prolonged break. I guess I thought he was pretty happy with his new path which wasn't the case. Anywho, good news for BW and ESPORTS!!!

I think it was more of a... "What am I going to do after I retire from progaming when I don't have a univ degree?" thing instead of a "This is what I want to do" thing.

Anyways,

i wonder if he will actually ever get back to form. so many pros that try to come out of retirement never reach their former form.

even though effort is much younger than most retiree-coming-backs, and he was only retired for < a year, I really question his ability to comeback. good luck to him though

Well... I'm glad that this happened...
Though I think that for Zerg strength in general we need strong Jaedong at the first place... for no other Zerg has such a winning morale. Remember how other Zergs (including the typically mediocre great, who was in difficult situation and behind 1-2) went on in MSL after his epic series vs Snow.

But Effort is good too. GO KIM JUNG WOO!!!!

Awesome!

I'm guessing he jumped ship because he probably thought BW's days were numbered (which I don't blame him for a bit). Now that things have stabilized, to some degree anyway, he's back.

Oh, and I called it.

Maybe the idea is he trains for 3 months until he's officially back in. Or maybe they can bend the rules or whatever.


And to some degree last year
I still find this fairly unbelievable—not in the "OH MY GOD" sense, but in that I don't really believe him.

Bet there's a good chance he returns either shortly before or after the proleague season begins.
