EPTEG.Jaedong - Page 93
| 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. | ||

If Team 8 still has no sponsor in December 2013, they will almost certainly disband. No Team 8 and no KeSPA teams being able to match EG's salary offer would leave Jaedong at EG. He signed a 1 year contract with EG and surely when it expires he could choose to renew it and not go back to KeSPA. The only reason he couldn't is if Jaedong stupidly signed a really long multi-year deal with KeSPA when he joined Team 8, which doesn't make sense because Team 8 was such a shaky team to be joining for even 1 year. | ||

Perhaps a manage that chooses the right players for match-ups, but it stays: SIngle player skill, no team qualities needed. (as proven when Taeja carried TL alone for some time). Well said. Sc2 surely is not a team sport and there is no need to build a team on anything other than to have top performers. | ||

Literally any of EG's sponsors like Intel would be very happy with more of a presence in Korea from the team. Although maybe not all of the sponsors operate there like is monster even sold in Korea? See Jaedong's reach is pretty insane I was talking with a girl who moved into my house recently who is from Korea and I was saying that I played starcraft and she know who Flash, Jaedong and Bisu were even though she didn't follow the pro scene at all. | ||
