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

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

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 | ||

When Jaedong plays, he looks very focused. Something like cold blooded killer would fit better. | ||

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.) | ||

Wow I know this is late but legend killer is a god damned EPIC nickname. The Tyrant is like making your SC nickname TwistedKiller (hi Erwin  ). | ||
