![]() never forget Jaehoon was an enigma and quite a beast in proleague when he was on his game but also one of the most volatile players. Best of luck in all things in life to him. | ||

That was the rumor after JD signed with EG - that he'd come back to T8 (now Jin Air) when they got a sponsor, or something along those lines. I'm fairly sure EG are intent on paying to keep him (especially with Idra and Stephano off the payroll), and I seem to recall the rumors being declared false by someone in the know around the time of JD's signing with EG, as well. | ||

It's in the thread. Plus it's not like EG would let go of their current best player and one of the most hyped/loved etc. On August 18 2013 02:54 BigFan wrote: hmm, saw this coming. When he started SCII, he was playing protoss really well, winning matches, etc... Recently, his protoss play hasn't been as good and I believe he was on a losing streak? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's disappointing that he's leaving right after Team 8 finally got a sponsor but hope he plays some BW as well. Best of luck Jaehoon! He's not on a losing streak, but his performance recently has been fairly spotty. Specifics here if you're interested. | ||

Early on he did look good and like I said in the other thread if you aren't having fun or have that drive to play anymore it's probably best to move on. Also there are several players who started to pick up the slack for the old T8 and I'm sure a few more players are about to enter the fray for the Wings as well. | ||

Maybe he doesn't like the game? | ||
