Correction: Daily ESPORTS mistakenly reported earlier that Jaedong would return to Team Eight immediately should they find a sponsor. This was a misunderstanding; Jaedong's 1 year period with EG is binding.

Ballsy, awesome pickup.

Kind of sad that only EG seem to have the finances to make these sick acquisition.

I also feel a side benefit will be the motivation boost to Jaedong. He's never been on a foreign team that can send him to foreign tournaments and all that, regularly. Perhaps that will add additional motivations for him to really push himself in SC2.

A fit, fully motivated Jaedong exploring Zerg can only be good for future exploration of the race.

Hahaahahaahaahahahahahahahahahahaha.

You seriously think T8 is going to survive a year? They have no sponsors, just gave away the face of their fucking franchise, and most of their team retired this offseason.

Their team is Baby, Jaehoon, Terminator, Speed, Ryul2, Check, and Alone.

THAT IS THEIR ENTIRE TEAM. THE SPONSORS ARE LINING UP.

Yeah, if this "loan" thing is actually true then they just straight out killed Team 8 no matter what. Like I said earlier, I hope BaBy jumps ship asap because Team 8 is fucking dead no matter what.

Yup yup. Even if it is a year loan, consider this like EG buying the rights to negotiate a long-term deal when Team 8 folds...

T8 is not even a sponsored team.


It is curious what pay they are offering JD though, since kespa teams might make better monetary offers, but I suppose it makes sense as JD wanted to go to a foreign team.


yeah.

I'll quit watching starcraft 2 if flash gets poached before KT finds a successor to his throne.


Flash leave KT? But.... No........

I'll allow it, provided KT gets another awesome terran that rapes the universe sideways.

According to this, it will be only a year-long deal, where he will return to Team 8 at the beginning of next season (unless something is sorted out between EG and Jaedong).

so it's like a loan?

Seems like it. Slasher said it was a loan on Lo3, although DjWheat then said it was a straight-up signing so I don't know what to believe.

TBH in esports a 1-year loan with possibilities of renegotiating at the end is pretty close to the same thing as a signing. I would imagine most players have 1-year contracts at most, and at the end of each contract term must decide what they will do in their future. How is this any different? Does team 8 itself have some say in it? Even if they do they are likely receiving financial compensation from EG, and I don't see them re-uniting with Jaedong after a year without him.
