EG would be insane to just let him go, and JD will likely not find a team who can pay him as much or fly him to as many tournaments as EG. It just seems stupid to break it off from either part.

JD seems to be happy with EG, why should he leave? The SC2 scene is international and to compete, you need a team that sends you all around the world. EG does that and Jaedong is fairly succesful. Why change that?

Well, he only won about 15k directly from overseas stuff, out of 113k total, bit you could argue that without being in WCS AM instead of WCS Kr he wouldn't have won as much from WCS, so he's probably done well for the year. The main money element is salary and whether he will manage much in WCS Kr if he drops from WCS AM. WCS changing does significantly impact someone like Jaedong and his team choices because he may want to be back in WCS Kr/GSL, and he didn't make much money outside WCS.

Be suicidal in business terms to let Jaedong go if they were EG, hell they should give him both Idra and Stephano's old contract wages into one and then more for the dong

even if someone else wanted to buy him, who would have the cash to compete with EG? Maybe Acer?

I can only think Acer and ASUS ROG.

IdrA`s and Stephano`s salary is already spent on Alliance.

As I was pleasantly surprised at Jaedong being able to deliver such great results on EG (I can't be the only one having doubts when he joined), I wouldn't mind seeing him staying on EG.

Still, would be cool to see him in Proleague again, but I guess attending all the major foreign tournaments is compensation enough.

I guess Kespa will finally stop claiming to have just "loaned" him out. ;o

Incontrol lubs JD too much to let him go to any other team.

With Jaedong's success in Sc2 right now and the amount of salary he is getting at EG, he will most likely be staying on EG

The Dong is a good replacement for Stephano really (don't get all loyalist-mad - he's a top zerg, who replaced a top zerg - neither have been the best in the world, dont split hairs)
I hope he stays at EG - its good to see him at all these events and experiencing things most KeSPA players wont/cant.

I wasn't aware of this though, I guess time flies when youre chewing the EG money

Liquid don't need him though, they already have a guy that actually wins tournaments (oh shit!) - I joke I joke... but seriously, TAEJAAAAAAAAAAA
