Hiya wasnt part of the big 5 then. Thanks for the great write up Plexa  , nice to see JD's 2006 stats, but shouldnt he be less than 15-4 ZvP? I recall him being 15-15 ZvP when facing stork, did you mix up his ZvT and ZvP? Because his ZvT was considered his best MU or the mu hes known most for in 06.On May 15 2009 23:50 Elyvilon wrote: Great article Plexa!

Oh, that quote is so truth. Some players moving teams are just... so sad. Nal_rA, Anytime, GoRush, July, Bisu....  | ||

I wouldn't have thought that OZ could continue performing decently after losing Anytime and ForGG. | ||

Backho has gotten a ton better. A huge amount. And where on earth are people going to find the OP for rek's "slumps don't exist" thread...that's a small look into progaming, gone for forever. | ||

As for Jaedong vs Flash in terms of consistency, I think it's moreso along the lines of Flash never ever losing to C level players and always advancing to at least the group stages of every single league (whereas Jaedong randomly doesn't qualify sometimes i,e losing to Han and not making the next OSL either). So when it gets to deeper rounds you have Flash playing games every single day and then suddenly implodes, drops all his games at once, and subsequently slumps while Jaedong can cruise by in just one league after losing in the others (the only time he ever advanced far in two leagues at once was in Arena/GSL1, which is kinda strange since he was slumping then). It is indeed a bizarre thing though; perhaps Jaedong simply has an advantage because he can rely on at least one person (anytime/forgg before, now hiya) to do something in proleague whereas Flash has literally nobody now that 2v2 is gone. Or maybe Jaedong's insane practice regime gives him extra stamina that Flash doesn't have or something.

He maintained his commitment to being the best and as a result has many more golds than Bisu has (at least, with respect to golds that matter ie OSL). This kind of jumped out of the woodwork though; that's a pretty weak comment from somewhat so knowledgable like you. That's like saying July's golds are more impressive than iloveoov's and Savior's when it's blatantly not the case. Imo OSL winners are generally inferior to MSL winners because the MSL winners are the ones who just continue their streak whereas aside from Boxer/Nada every OSL winner never goes far in the next one and sometimes are just lucky people who never do anything again (Sync, Casy, GGplay among others). MSL's only winner who does not have another gold is ForGG, while Reach, Xellos, Kingdom, Anytime, and the above three have won an OSL and never any other league. OSL's maps are often more interesting but they usually are way more imbalanced as well (probably a big factor). Also, which were the seasons where Anytime did really well in proleague? I know he went on a ridiculous tear in the 07-08 league but I had always thought he established himself as one of the best proleague players ever before that. I just can't find what season(s). I can't wait to see your MBC writeup and what you have on Light; he's an interesting player I'd really like to know moree about. | ||
