EPTEG.Jaedong - Page 45
| 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. | ||

Sea is great and all but comparing him to Jaedong is like comparing a candle to a supernova. | ||

Because I feel like Evil Geniuses is extremely smart as a business (which is why they would be able to afford jaedong in the first place) and I think it would be a stupid idea to have a clause in the contract that says "oh btw if we get a sponsor he instantly transfers back to us". It's not like Team 8 and EGTL are practice partners and he would be able to practice with them but Team 8 is just loaning jaedong to them for proleague. It's basically a player trade that EG probably paid Team 8 for. Well it boils down to this. EG gets him with the clause or they don't get him without the clause. I think EG would rather have him, than not have him at all. | ||

It's basically a player trade that EG probably paid Team 8 for. We could speculate about the actual details but as it stands now Team8 sold JD for the money since they don't have any sponsor, however in an attempt not to make them look even less attractive they have been very careful with pointing out that JD will return if a sponsor is found. What does it actually mean, is it even true, will JD return once Team8 has not found a sponsor once the year is over, will even team 8 still be alive and so forth, no one really knows. | ||

That kinda fucks EG over a bit. | ||

Hasnt looked that great in any of the matches they've showed. All the boys on EG need to pick-up their practice. Stephano and JYP are the two guys on EG I would send out almost every time. I'd use PuMa as a sniper and I'd use DeMu for TvTs. Thorzain I'd send out on occasion just like IdrA and HuK. Jaedong has a ton to learn still and I think Stephano will help him immensely. Jaedong would fit somewhere in the middle atm. | ||

This guy dominates proleague. Just really choked on OSL / MSL runs. Don't underestimate him by any means. But the dong is the dong. | ||
