Legend killer doesn't fit anymore, he IS the undisputed legend of current SC.

I don't like both :/
When Jaedong plays, he looks very focused. Something like cold blooded killer would fit better.

I think nicknames are usually first impressions kind of stuff for me regardless of how much your skill level decreases/increases.. for example

iloveoov will always be monster terran even if he sux now

boxer the emperor

jd will be the legend killer for me always

I think The Tyrant is a more appropriate name.

Well the thing is like the Emperor and the Cheater, Jaedong has always been called the Tyrant in Korea

Its just that the foreign community slapped another nickname

What, Jaedong has never had a consensus nickname. Some fans absolutely hate the Tyrant/폭군 name. We just have to face the fact there's nothing good to call him for now

Well at the very least we should put "the tyrant" as one of his nicknames on TLPD. Unless its already there...?

I've always thought of him as the Tyrant ever since that "interview over wine" thing when the hosts asked him how he liked that nickname. He acted kind of embarrassed but you can't deny that Legend Killer is a pretty weak nickname for a player of his calibur.
May the BeSt man win.

Yeahhh, it seems that The Legend Killer is something too specific for a player as good as he.

When I think "Legend Killer" I think of someone who is consistently beating people he shouldn't out of nowhere. Now it's to the point where I assume Jaedong will win 70% of matches, so it really doesn't make sense. Sure he's still killing legends, but he's not quite the underdog anymore, he's expected to slay these people now, so why have a nickname for it?

A more generic nickname that can still be used over time makes more sense in my opinion. (Such as Tyrant, Maestro, Emperor, Tushin.. Snottoss, etc.)

Legend Killer is 10 billion times better. It romanticizes the SC scene so much more than "The Tyrant." The Tyrant is more like... someone who just brutalizes players... Not necessarily a consistent winner like Jaedong.

I think Tyrant fits better.. He killed the legends to ge to the top. Now that he's at the top he's just dominating everything
