Poll: Which Nickname is better for Jaedong?
(Vote): (Eng) The Legend Killer
(Vote): (Kor) The Tyrant

Currently, there are 2 Nicknames for Jaedong
For the English one, it is the Legend Killer
I have NO idea where this came from, but I honestly don't like it. It doesn't suit someone that is good as Jaedong

Now for the Korean Nickname, they call Jaedong The Tyrant, which makes sense since he just dominates everyone. So lets make a vote

I think Legend Killer was fitting for a Roya Roader, but now that he's at the top, I'd say Tyrant. As for him dominating everyone - the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

I agree, The Tyrant sounds better.

I'm not even a Jaedong fan but I always found the legend killer was sort of... not enough. He deserves more.

A year ago Legend Killer was good. Definitely Tyrant now though.

I always hated the Legend killer. It didn't really have a purpose either. I mean, all great players have beaten all other great players at one point. Savior has beaten oov, nada, boxer...blah blah blah. If Jaedong had a msl/osl run where he completely totaled a slew of old Bonjwa's or something, then the nickname begins to make sense...but he didn't. So its just stupid, and it sounds awkward to boot.
Can you dig it?

explanation for legend killer:
http://senseofstar.blogspot.com/2007/02/legend-killer.html

I actually like both of them, too hard to decide t.t
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.

Isn't he sometimes referred to as 파괴신? (i.e. the God of Destruction)

I swear I heard some commentators refer to JD as that. Tyrant sounds pretty badass though.

yeah currently there are 2 things
폭군 (tyrant) and 파괴신 (God of Destruction)
I remember in the early phase people called him 파괴신 but slowly started to drift to Tyrant.

Isn't it odd how someone as dominant as Jaedong has no real nickname

Jaedong will always be the Legend Killer in my mind.

Flash's nick of Ultimate Weapon seems so neutered though right now.

I think it's too late to change his nickname.

i think everyone called him dictator zerg not tyrant per se. Plus his korean nickname is Maestro, so tyrant was up for grabs.
