Damn, so much negativity surrounding Jaedong He's not in form that much is clear, but he showed great consistency in 2013 and his Blizzcon run was pretty special. It's not as if he's not shown anything in SC2 and is some bum.

I'm not sure a Kespa team is the answer for him, but his slump has been pretty long. I'm not sure what his environment is at the moment, but my best guess would be that his initial freedom from Kespa restrictions and the new experiences of foreign tournaments really lifted him motivation wise, plus the freedom may have lifted some pressure so he shows some great stuff . plus EGTL had some damn good players in that house.

Now the novelty of being out of that environment may have worn off and he needs it again to get back to top shape? Hard to tell really without knowing everything.

WCS NA has the two greatest examples of players who blossom outside of team house environments in Taeja and Polt so it's not as if it's as simple as Kespa house = Return of the Dong
