One of the all-time greats. Probably made the transition from BW to SC2 better than any of the big BW names.

Wow that last comment in the Jaedong interview, the feels. I really loved this "final edit" of TL. Really nice to not have in forum format but in actual "fullscreen" kind of.

I thought he retired like a year ago. Well..uh.. I guess I'll miss him
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

This is the November news I've been waiting for. Was surprised to see it on the 1st.

Can't wait to officially welcome him back to BW. I'll miss seeing him on the big stage (SC2 or BW), though.

God is waiting for a challenge. gogo 424

Yup he had a good run in SC2, better than most Progamers. That one year he made like 5-6 2nd places in tournaments and won a smallerish tournament. That was a sick year to be a Jaedong fan in 2013. I remember thinking I hope he never retires and it's sad he did, but if he streams BW or SC2 that would be cool, but if not I totally understand him just enjoying his life and not worrying about any of it.

When I think of something else, something will go here

People would watch him no matter what, he could stream solitaire and he still would have more viewers than most
But yeah i would prefer bw

If he decides to never stream (which would be a bad decision money wise) than that is ok too i guess, i doubt that will happen though

Yeah, not exactly surprising. It's been pretty much suspected since the beginning of the year that he'll retire in november. Still, he'll be missed.
Won't exactly be surprising if he goes back to BW either. Maybe we'll have the chance to see him in one of those tournaments at some point.
I am here in the shadows.

I will miss him. I hope he plays some Brood War and that I get to see his BW mutalisk micro again. It was something to see. He would split mutas when they got irradiated faster than any human ever before or since.

I once watched a game in which he made four scourge and flew them to his opponent's base on the opposite corner of a medium sized map, and I swear he timed it so that his opponent's mutas emerged from their eggs the exact millisecond so that the scourge would blow them up. His games were full of moments like that. It was something to see.

I dunno he's been talking about LoL and OW this year. We'll see.

Probably depends on what Afreecas willing to offer him.

Either of those are fine too since those are popular in Korea.

We all saw this from a mile away when he quietly faded away from the SC2 scene for so many months this year. I hope he finds his place in this changed landscape.

Polt and Jeadong were two reasons I started watching SC2, seems like a pretty harsh year for sc2 so hope they have something in the works soon
