Wow this is a surprise.
Also not to be a party pooper, I don't see him staying wc3 for very long given how small the wc3 scene is right now.
I know there are stop tournaments going on but I don't think it's enough to make a living out of it imo

I think he could make a living from streaming, especially off of Chinese viewers. It'll be interesting to watch what he does in 2016. Best of luck to the 5th race~!

Yeah I also think he could make a living with streaming and depending on how he does at WCA he might win quite a bit of money in the next two weeks. WCA awards like 200k, although I'm not sure how the prize money distribution is like. I'm sure there will be more smaller tournaments throughout 2016 for him to play in. The competition is not as fierce as it used to be, so I think he will do well.

Jang Jae-ho fighting!

During WCA, we had the chance to sit down with the most decorated Warcraft player in the history of this game. Jang "Moon" Jae Ho has won more than 450.000$ prizemoney throughout his magnificent career and influenced the scene like no player before and after him.
After his two year duty in the Korean Army, he's finally back to claim the Frozen Throne again. How's his life now, what are his plans for the future and who are the most promising new talents in the rejuvenated scene today?
The answers to this questions and much more in our nine minute interview with Moon!

To give an update to this thread, it looks like Moon has some kind of contract with Douyu. It's actually interesting, I think he's sooo popular in China, he has like a fulltime Chinese translator at his side when he streams! (At least thats what it looks like whenever I pop in)

As far as his skill level is concerned, he's not near his prime yet, but he's still very skilled. The most notable achievement he's accomplished in the last year is winning PGL 2016. Take home a nice 15 grand!

Here's a special video of his daughter guest appearing on stream:
