I have to agree with the other guy though, that its an act. I mean he may have realized he cant be overconfident and take anyone lightly, fair. But humble? I don't see it possible for anyone in a hyper competitive SPORT to ever be humble. Competition is all about ego afterall. He may be able to control that arrogance way better than before, and think and say all the right things, but underneath the surface hes as arrogant as Jaedong, Bisu, and all the others.

It doesn't sound like you've ever played something at a highly competitive level and been among the absolute best. It's true, there are plenty of arrogant guys at the top, but not all of them are falsely humble.
Even when you are at the top, the slightest slip or stumble can change everything and you can quickly plummet 100 spots. This being known and accepted among the best, it might be easier to assume all the top players are humble, rather than arrogant.
