Jaedong joined EG, so there's a high chance his career goes to the shitter. Great players like Thorzain and Huk couldn't even prosper under such a slack and pampering environment. Stephano is also not nearly as dominant as he was pre-EG, losing to foreign gutter left and right. I think 8 hours a day is what's required in the Lab now and that's laughable compared to Kespa players.
Couple that with the required streaming (basically proves winning tournaments isn't EG's main priority) and no punishment for poor play (Machine, LZgamer, Incontrol among the worst pro gamers in the scene and are still on a pro team) and prospects aren't good for Jaedong.
Maybe when he goes back to T8 he can improve, but I reckon that if he was ok with selling himself out to EG, he's lost the competitive fire he had in BW and will probably retire in a year.

Stephano put it well: "Ze EG curse? Are you stupid?"
Hell, you could say there exists a curse of most foreign teams out there. Oh no, Sheth and Ret are slumping! Liquid curse! Nerchio isn't looking as good as he once did! Acer curse! Mana hasn't won a tournament in a few months! Mouz curse!
Believing that a player who joins EG will automatically slump makes about as much sense as believing that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. Oh yes, I just went there :p

Quick and probably incredibly naive/ignorant question:
If a tournament has problems connecting to twitch (there seem to be no general internet problems, as bnet works), can't they just try streaming over another platform? like owned or ustream or whatnot.

A big part of Jaedongs success was that he truly loved playing for Lecaf/Hwaseung OZ. They had a strong sens of playing together as a team and Jaedong never really recovered when his coach left. I don't think he could perform as well on a team that buys players left and right. And I don't think this only applies to him, that is maybe why people jokingly talks about an EG curse.
Just my two cents...

It's not like EG is going to recruit somebody every 2 weeks. This was likely to help make the PL scenario work out. They'll probably let people go before considering recruiting another player.

You my friend are dumb. You are so beyond ignorant to everything they are currently doing that I don't feel like listing it because trying to convince someone of your mentality is like trying to teach my dog how to safely drive a car.

Did Jaedong win the series?

They halted the series, it is currently Jaedong 2:1 Yonghwa.

I don't really know these things since i only follow the old BW pros in sc2, but who in EG is really an EG player (in the sens: they have developed their skill and love for the game in this team)? Idra, I guess... In OZ, for instance, Anytime, Forgg, Jaedong... they were all OZ players.

There's the problem. Some people aren't joking. They actually believe that once a player joins EG, that the player will automatically slump, and that the cause of slumping can be blamed on joining EG. Joking is one thing, and I admit I've joked about the "curse" as well, but to believe it as fact would be just preposterous.

If he gets his natural cannoned now too...

This is going really nice for Jaedong. Cool... But I dont know how good this Yongwah dude is.

Tip : put the score somewhere in the overlay please ;-s
