Let me guess, there were some visa issues with JD probably?

Maybe it was just a relax period.
I'm happy about it

So why didn't he play in anything at the beginning of this year? Did he just want to take a longer break or did he have visa issues?

Hopefully he didn't do too much relaxing and was getting some practice in there. If he is playing in WCS AM, he better perform!

Good to see that he isn't going anywhere! Also, it's nice have more progamers call the silicon valley home :D

most likely a longer break, he didnt try to participate SSL or IEM Taipeh.

I'm happy that Jaedong is coming back to Starcraft, but I'm worried that without good local practice partners his skill level will suffer. I'm sure he'll do well in WCS AM, but I want to witness the return of the Tyrant, the Jaedong who could win multiple championships.
From running Google Translate on the article, it seems like he considered going back to Korea to play, but wasn't sure how that could happen if he was still on EG. Deciding to stay in WCS AM means spending time far away from his family, which he mentioned was tough on him. This was clearly the "big decision" he tweeted about.
Still, I wish him the best! I'll be cheering for him!

So JD and Stardust are in for Season 2. That will be 6 Koreans in WCS
|
Jaedong!!!! So happy he´s gonna be back kicking nerds and looking cool!
|
Good news, for sure. Was a bit worried about him. Hopefully his break gave him new passion to do well in Season 2.
|
Apparently he wanted to spend time with his family because he rarely saw them since his life as a progamer. It seems like he really needed some leisure and was thinking what to do next (going back to Korea, etc). Jaedong is not happy with all the rumors whereas he didn't say anything at all and they frustrated(?) him. When he says nothing, it means that he's thinking what choices to make. Jaedong asks his fans to only believe what he says from now on so that he may focus only on his practice.
He also says that he personally was to retire after returning and playing in Korea to not forget his Korean fans.

You're forgetting the True ZvZ Bonjwa.

I assume studying English just means that he will be taking lessons, rather than actually doing a part time higher education, right? Good to see Jaedong will be back! Glad for him that EG could help him get the required visa!

I know some people were wishing he'd go back to Korea and play with KeSPA but Jaedong i think know's he's probably got a few more years at most with this game. I feel like he wants to study and go to college in America not saying Korea doesnt have great college's but i feel like he is looking more toward Future, Future..
im very excited to see him still play but im also very happy he is looking foward to the future of his life.

You know, when I think "Great representatives of North American Starcraft", I definitely think Jaedong and Hydra. Because they have provided so incredibly much to the NA scene.

Jaedong announced that he was taking a break for the rest of the year on December 7, but failed to show up for either the GSL/NSSL qualifiers or the WCS America qualifiers upon the beginning of the first 2015 season.
