Carrying on the Torch
While I was browsing around TL today, I noticed there one thing that was missing that would never have been missing just a few months ago. The MSL Finals Tourney thread was indeed missing. Didn't see it anywhere, nor did I see any hype threads for two of the greatest players ever in Brood War history. Just a few months ago, people would have gone insane hyping up Flash as the next b*****, or Jaedong as the greatest player of all time. But with Starcraft 2 Beta overtaking a good majority of us here, the hype and all the commotion that used to take place before each major finals has all but died out. I feel like it's about time to stir up some talk, get the fans up and cheering for a repeat of last season's MSL finals, but hopefully this time without a power outage.
A few months ago, I was browsing around on Jon747's Youtube channel, looking through all his playlists of top games, including the Best MSL games, Best OSL games, and so on until I stumbled upon an incomplete list. That list was a compilation of Jaedong's 100 Proleague wins. Back when I first started following progaming, I played zerg. Although I was absolutely terrible (probably D- level), I absolutely loved the play of JulyZerg and Jaedong. The style, the flair, the macro and micro. Both of them had it. Whether it was an incredible display of Sauron zerg or impeccable two group mutalisk micro, the two never ceased to amaze me.
Anyways, the playlist on Jon747's Youtube channel was unfortunately never completed, and only had 29 of Jaedong's games. But as I watched all the videos Jon747 had uploaded, I was simply amazed at how Jaedong, even back in 06/07, was still ripping apart his opponents in utterly dominating fashion. His play vs Terran was some of the most flawless I had ever seen, tearing his opponents apart with ridiculous mutalisk micro, insane lurker flanks, and some of the most insane multitasking and swarms that I had ever seen a zerg player utilize. After I finished all 29 games, I was left longing for more. All I wanted to do was see Jaedong's progress through the years.
As one of the few players to reach 100 Proleague wins, an accomplishment only a few have ever achieved, Jaedong has been the anchor of his team for the last couple of years. Once a part of the fearsome trio that included ForGG and Anytime, Jaedong has climbed his way to the top, marking himself as a true legend of the game. But like any other legend, what's made him so great has been his ability to bounce back. Jaedong was supposed to dispatch Frozean with ease in the Proleague Grand Finals, but fell as Frozean broke his sunkens with ease. Although his teammates picked up the slack, Jaedong did not falter, bouncing back to claim his first MSL victory with a 3-1 over Kal. While Arena was supposed to be Jaedong's MSL, he was unfortunately bounced 3-0 by none other than his teammate ForGG. How did he respond? By winning two more OSLs the next year.
So Jaedong, I wish you well in your quest to piggyback your team to the top once again, and I wish you good luck tomorrow in your quest to join Nada as the only player with 3 OSLs and 3 MSLs. I cried for you when you were completely dominated by ForGG, but you've always bounced back and continued dominating. So in your quest to carry on the torch of legends, make this next MSL yours by dispatching Flash with ease!

I wanna see this shot again, so make it happen. =D
Oh, soon after I found Jon747's playlist, I was able to obtain Jaedong's first 100 Proleague wins and I've uploaded them to the tracker and to Megaupload, so everyone can enjoy. (Warning, it's 21 GB for all 100 games). Also, some of these games aren't uploaded anywhere, so TLPD doesn't have some of these VODs.

Let's get this MSL hyped up! I wanna see a thread or some hype between the Flash/JD fanboys. I don't care whose side you're on. I just wanna see some hype for one of the greatest matchups ever.

Wow, thanks! Torrenting now.
|
Oh my god, words can't express how much I love you roffles. Thanks a lot for this, should satisfy my need for the dong for a while.
|
Amazing, downloading them all while watching some on megavideo, thank you!
|
hmm, is there a career list of proleague wins anywhere? would like to see where current players rank with the old timers.
|
i love how few maps are included on this list, really makes you see how players always play the same maps.
i have no idea how much effort went into compiling this list, but whatever it was, i'm sure it took longer than the amount of time i've been awake for today. thank you roffles!
|
Great work! Now i have enough to watch till MSL, thank you.

|
Thank you <3
The finals are going to be amazing. Best of luck to Jaedong.
|
Wow that's alot. Awesome, thanks!
|
Wow! That is amazing, I love you, throwing all these on my external!
|
Jaedong and Roffles.. I love you!
|
Thank you alot! Now I know what to do between beta end and release.
Oh and Jaedong will beat Flash 3-0 sending him in to a career ending slump.
|
So many videos so little time. Guess I gotta cut back on some sleep to rewatch those again :D.
Thanks for uploadin here.
|
Wow, that's astonishing stuff. Excellent thread, I think I'll have to frequent it.
|
I have been wondering, why isn't there a thread?
I guess the regulars (at making them) are off for a break or finals etc..
|
HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE
Jaedong > Nada
If this shit with GOM and Blizzard allows OSL and MSL to continue, Jaedong will smash all the records and surpass NaDa for sure.
|
It still isn't too late for the MSL Finals Hype Thread!
|
|
|
Wow. Thank you for this!
Going to torrent the shit out of this.
|
Leave your torrent client open when you're done... We need seeders and shit :x
I'll seed for 24 hours after completion - perhaps 48 if it doesn't start raping my internets.

|
After Flash's dissapointing performance in OSL... GO JAEDONG!

we can all hope and pray...
I really want to see jaedong take this MSL, then cap his career off as top by taking both titles next season.
|
I'm also kinda sad for the lack of hype threads for this MSL Finals.
And also, go Jaedong!
|
Awesome! Cant wait to DL this. Will def seed for a good while.
Also about MSL, is it going to be exact same setup as before?
I have a feeling Flash will get some measure of revenge this time one way or another..

Great work!
But seriously, what is with this? The OSL finals thread was up way beforehand, and got 20 pages before the broadcast even began. Where's the MSL thread?
|
Actually just the other day Kal passed 100 PL wins too

I swear I would of made the LR thread myself on sunday if I wasn't going to be at a MSL finals party during it (otherwise I would have time to make update it and stuff). Hopefully someone makes it ASAP
|
I can't wait to see Jaedong roflstomp flash. As with you, Roffles, Jaedong and Julyzerg have always been my favorites, and Jaedong won't disappoint this time. We saw with the OSL finals that Flash really isn't up to speed with his TvZ 
|
was Odd-eye the map that it blacked out on? THAT will be intense
|
LETS GO JAEDONG. i agree, this is the finals we've all been waiting for. lets make some HYPE
|
Yeah, where IS the msl finals thread D:
|
oh yeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is what iv been waiting for..HYPE FOR THE MASSES..... the bets the 100 pl games the best finals ever.. just do it in a normal studio and thats it the most epic finals like it should have been..
|
Hm... I don't see stork on the 100 wins and I know they played each other couple times in the pl. I guess stork is too good for jaedong.
|
Wow nice compilation of games. thx man!
|
FLASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please refrain from destroying the layout. For the best player ever, Flash sure has an abundance of titles...
I was gonna compile the MSL Finals games, but I got lazy and did an easy one instead.
|
Can't wait for the next 100 PL wins.
Also, the fourth game is kinda buggy. You can't jump and it stops at ~30 mins....at least for me.
|
way to bork the layout never_Nal.
Anyways, thanks for the link. I am a relatively new follower of Professional Starcraft, but like many, as a Zerg player, I gravitated towards the best Zerg players of the time. I had only glancingly followed some starcraft a long time ago, when July and Yellow were still dominating, after which I would play several B.net games at which I played at an astoundingly consitent 82 apm for many games.
Around September 2009 is when I seriously started following SC and of course, found the champion Jaedong as the flag carrier of the Zerg race, and have since been a fanboy, as evidenced by the Oz tag in the bottom right corner.
GO JD!!!!

Thx, didn't know that(not familiar with WMVs). I fixed the seeking now but it seems like the stop at the 30 min mark is a different problem. It's not supposed to be like that, is it?

Hm, downloaded it again and it's the same problem. Jaedong is about to deliver the finishing blow and then, meh.
Anyway, you did a really great job of collecting everything, thank you =)

This is great Roffles.
I'll try and watch a few before the finals, to pump myself up for JD's number 6.
|
I really like Jaedongs little "ceremonies"(e.g. thumb down after he beat Kal) when he was still young.
Also: bump
