EPTEG.Jaedong - Page 34
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
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. | ||

I think people are missing the fact that JD goes back to Team8 IMMEDIATELY if they get a sponsor. So basically, Team 8 is able to off load JD's contract to EG while they look for sponsors. JD will probably gain more fans international since he will be travelling to more tournaments. Then Team 8 can still promise sponsors they will have JD back once sponsorship has been confirmed. Seems like a win win for Team 8 and EG given the situation Team 8 was in. | ||

It doesnt really matter if fans associate JD with EG while hes at those events because a sponsor would know he would be under T8s flag the moment he did sponsorship. | ||

If KesPA keeps Jeadong, I would not say they are pathetic. Heck, I would be less harsh to them if they lend him to EG for a year without saying "we want him back if we get money". It is so obvious that they lend Jaedong to EG because they cannot pay him but at the same time say that they will just take him back if they get money. It's kinda pathetic coming from someone who desires to control everything Starcraft in Korea. Why are you selectively interpreting the motivation of the organization? If Kespa didn't create Team 8 in the first place these players would have been lost just as alot of other players. If it is just based on a motivation to control starcraft why associate an emotional state such as "pathetic" to it, if the motivation to control starcraft itself is pathetic why is a step away from that direction seen as also pathetic? | ||
