Here's to hoping one day that eSports professionals play well into their 40's, like football, tennis, soccer, etc. Maybe one day there will be college sponsorships (I know theres a few here and there for league), so that players can get a degree and then continue playing professionally after school.

Fear in EG Dota2 is 49 years old, it's happening already.
Can someone please link me to resources/explanation of the situation of how the brawl between KESPA and Blizzard start in the first place?

That is only possible if the game is not fast paced and things like that.

Ehm, some sport players have shorter career than JD's 10 years. This year I was watching from time to time the Rugby World Championship and I was surprised how short career these player have, under 10 years. It's not that bad.

What has blizzard to do with this?
- Isn’t that depressing that you cannot participate in foreign Tournaments?
"I`d be lying if I said I`m not. Still, I want to play games in Korea."
Did you even read the interview? He said he is allowed to participate but doesn't want to...
- Why did you decide to return to Korea?
"EG wanted me to play in WCS Circuit, and I could because I got athletic Visa. However, I want to play games in Korea. This should be the place where I spend my last days. Once I promised to my fans that 'I`ll return to Korea before my retirement." And I`m here to keep it."

I read it whole. He wants to play in Korea and access foreign tournaments if I understood the thing I copied correctly.
So do I understand it wrongly and he's not depressed he cannot play or what do you try to say?

As a Korean I can assure that JD can play outside Korea but wanted to fulfill his promise to his Korean fans that someday he'll come back and play in Korea.

It is just not a good sign since he said he would do that in his final days...

And that's why he's depressed about not playing in weekend tournaments? There's 1 confirmed KeSPA cup and he's "qualified" for 1 league(Code A ). He has plenty of free time since he's not in PL. Or am I missing something?

He would have liked to play in foreign tournaments and he would have been able to play in Circuit because he has a visa, but he chose not to (despite being sad about it) because he wants to spend the rest of his career in Korea. That's how I understood it.

Yep that was my interpretation as well. I really hope he can somehow play in proleague that would be awesome It would be even more awesome if he somehow manages to make a good run in code s, like semi final or something, but that is extremely unlikely^^

From what I understood from the original article, he did not sound depressed though he wasn't exactly happy either.
