In August 2011, Hwaseung decided to stop sponsoring Oz to shift their priorities over to physical sports. This left Jaedong, and several other notable progamers without a team as FOX and Hero also closed down. However, in the first days of November it was revealed the governing body of esports in Korea, KeSPA, had decided to form a team. It was announced Lee along with several other progamers from the closed down teams, would move to the new team. Notable gamers to also join the new team included Yum "Sea" Bo Sung, Jun "BaBy" Tae Yang and Park "Killer" Joon Oh.

Jaedong made his debut in 2006 as a member of the Korean team Hwaseung OZ and quickly proved himself to be a talented player. In less than two years he won his first premier tournament, the Seoul International eSports Festival, followed shortly after by both the OSL and the MSL tournaments. Since then he dominated the StarCraft competitive scene, revolutionizing Zerg strategy and establishing a famous rivalry with the Terran player Lee Young-Ho.
