Yeah, dropping bombs on the community is better than revving up the hype train for one week straight to the point that nobody cares anymore when the news is finally released..

In the interview, interesting that JD acknowledged he will have to train harder than ever so that people don't think he has become mediocre now that he has switched to SC2... We will see how that pans out... Not all BW pros have found success in the new realm of SC2...

i wonder if he'll be fielded in the match vs kt rolster since i think a lot of the players on liquid-eg are probably better.

"Do you prefer European tournaments?

Yes. WCG Cologne was the only European tournament I went to and I performed poorly back then. Other than that all other tournaments were from the United States. If I have a chance to attend Starcraft 2 tournaments in Europe, I want to definitely go there."

Wonder why. But Grats!

Of course. HerO is really skilled and famous. TaeJa is also one of the best Terrans.

D'awww, JD, you shouldn't have.

I actually think the opposite

they need to upgrade their uniforms

I definitely agree. You'd think that with all of these top-tier players they'd be able to do more than a t-shirt.

Good interview. Interesting comments about "In the end, it's all about making the most powerful composition and cruise to victory.", possibly a reference to relative simplicity of late-game management vs BW? Also he was sensitive to the dip in popularity for Pro Starcraft in Korea, but he seems to have the drive to perform well, especially in PL, and that is the most exciting part for me.

Still such an amazing situation, and EG didn't even hype it

OT: ty for the interview, I'm still just in shock.


Some things are so big that they dont even need hype. This is one of those things.


So true. Trying to hype this I feel would've only cheapened it. EG doesn't need to drill into anyone how freakin' huge this is; they know it and they're going to let the action speak for itself.

Actions speak louder than announcements of announcements.

Really happy for Jaedong but I hope they don't force him to fly to every damn tournament and burn himself out. As long as he comes to Sweden I'm happy though :D


I am certainly not the most well-read person with regards to the doings of EG, but I have never heard of them forcing anyone to do anything.

Hopefully EG-TL will get their house in Korea running with all their marquee players at once - I'd love to see what results from that!

T.T This kills me inside... I love Jaedong but I despise EG... Though it's not the worst, I don;t hate the EG players that much, more like hating the Yankee's in baseball. I understand it from a business standpoint kind of. Just doesn't seem right having one team buy out players like this. Awhh well, Grats to EG and Jaedong I wish one of you the best

TLDR WTB Salary cap for sc2 teams and GL Jaedong xD
