At first, I even thought "the heck kind of player is this?" lol! I think a lot of us have thought that way about Taeja at some point. | ||

Even if it wasn't the biggest success in PL, it was an interesting experiment so to speak; clash of two worlds. ^^ | ||

I think he liked the players a lot, but he inherited a lot of players who are not used to be coached. Pro gamers, by nature, are sort of know-it-alls. They are the best at what they do and don't often listen to people who they do not believe are as skilled as them. Breaking them down, removing their bad habits and getting them to be a team is very very hard. | ||

Jaedong on EG is basically him wearing an EG shirt and winning stuff so the team looks good, and in exchange they pay him money. Taeja is a little more involved with TL, but is primarily a solo star still. Acer is a bit of an exception with the ATC, where you actually get the feeling they are a real team even with Korean heavyweights like Innovation and MMA. | ||

He provides advice to Xenocider and he and Geoff are friends. When the team is not in a team league, everyone is a solo star. Guess why EG isn't in any teamleague atm. It's not a pbm but the team aspect is reduced to its most simple expression (and for JD, to salary and paid trips to tournaments). Acer was only different because of the partnership with Axiom meaning that their players were still committed to a lan teamleague. | ||

My point was that JD was picked up specifically to represent EG as a high performance star player, unlike alive/revival/oz that were picked for the express purpose of PL. JD being a nice guy has no real bearing on this. | ||

For a team looking for an all in one package, look no further. There is a reason why Park, like almost every other coach, said that JD was the player they wanted most. ya exactly. It's why I'm a Jaedong fan :D | ||
