Its interesting that his opinions on the game have changed so much over the months. Perhaps it was in light of all the fan rage, or maybe even due to the current rage in Seoul. With such a strong career, he must feel that practicing the game would be putting things on the line. Very good interview.
I don't really agree with what he said though... why should they add in all those things to bnet when clearly they wouldn't work under the new system... The interview's tone was a bit overly serious, but maybe in NA we don't understand the lifestyle of starcraft. He should be less harsh on Blizzard... it's not like they aren't trying.
Also, I don't think his opinions have changed much; Just his attitude. I think everyone's attitudes have changed... hopefully when beta comes back up we can all relax and play some good ole *err new* sc2 :D
SC2 isn't for pros, it's for everyone else. This brings in more money and Blizzard exists to make money. Extracting lots of short term money from tournament rights and then sacrificing the scene in favour of their future titles is in their shareholders' best interests, more so than relying on a trickle of income from sales 10 years later. Don't like it, try communism.
Progame organisers should figure out how to offer an attractive deal to the publishers, or else develop their own game. If not = qq moar.

I completely agree, but JaeDong does have a career at stake, so I suppose his frustration is just. If anyone has seen the success of the franchise on the tournament level he has, and he kind of like the Baha 1000 testing track for Starcraft, he does what AIs can't.
Then again, I do agree, it was overly serious, because it is after all just a game to many consumers. I think Jae is just fearful because when Starcraft 2 overshadows SC1 popularity, he will have to convert to the new feature list, but with his APM and edge, he can.
