dunno man,as long as the PvX enigma thread exists no one will take Jaehoon seriously,that said I think Jaehoon has improved 10 fold.
|
must really be a huge jaehoon fan eh? anyway, nice work! :D
|
Thanks for making this thread.
|
I suppose today's game spurred this?
I'm right behind ya.
In all seriousness, if Jaehoon can keep his cool, he gets dam good.
|
That all being said, I think we should import the PvX enigma thread into this one. Like, I mean, some ppl like myself appreciate Jaehoon for some of his hilarious fails.
Jaehoon rocking it up tho~

Lol, all three of them are retired now
I guess that's what happens when you lose to Jaehoon, it's time to retire...

Then Fantasy should have retired a month ago.

Is Jaehoon still the MBC captain? If he still is then this mental block is going to last a long time

It's hard to tell if it's a mental block or because the whole team is just slumping right now.
|
I appreciate his poor play on TV bringing me amusement.

I've always loved Jaehoon. Remember when he almost beat Flash in WL? Good times.

more like the comments of that game in that LR thread. the fact people would blindly not recommend that game vs fantasy, I am honestly dumbstruck. he was amazingly aggressive throughout the entire game, starting from even the scouting probe. he virtually shutdown fantasy's vulture harass, pulled some good stasis and recalls. he lost it in the end but it was anything but a roflstomp as those posters would have you believe.
|
I had such high expectations for Jaehoon when I first started watching broodwar as I had watched Jaedong and Jangbi previously. However, he has consistently brought shame to the Ja- prefix. I will never forgive him for it.
|
Yea, I guess what intrigues me is you always hear is downright excellent in practice. Then he comes to games and doesn't really perform.
He has been doing better lately as OP noted, though the results are still far from someone who is considered to be very good in practice. That sounds like a well above 50% player to me, and Jaehoon is definitely still not playing at that level.
Drawing on my experiences with golf, it was pretty nerve-wracking to play in front of people at first, but as you go on it justs becomes automatic, and you almost forget about it. Where it really becomes an issue is in really high pressure situations. This is where choking becomes serious, because if you badly screw up at a critical moment then that becomes pretty ingrained, leading to a potentially career damaging cycle (see: Jean Van de Velde). So I guess the question is, has Jaehoon ever had just a crucial moment at which he has choked?
If not, I really don't understand it, he has played a reasonable number of games and really the TV environment should be pretty natural and comfortable for him. I can understand someone choking when they get under the pressure of being in a StarLeague finals, but consistently battling nerves in random proleague games is unusual. I know from my experiences in golf I haven't run into too many players that can play great outside of tournaments but then struggle everytime they are in that tournament setting.

I like sweattoss!! :D im sure he'll have his great moments!
|
I think jaehoon would be soo gosu if he didn't sweat so much. Just calm down seriously. Focus.
|
The first time I heard of Jaehoon, it was when he vs'd Bisu in SPL. All I remember was that Bisu went dt's vs him, and that Jaehoon made some funny faces/reactions when he discovered the DT's. That and he was really sweaty after his game(s).
Though Jaehoon has come a long way since then. He's pretty decent now, and I think he has quite the potential.
this was the game i was referring to:
+ Show Spoiler +
The reaction at 8:48 is funny =)
|
I will always remember Jaehoon for his hilarious game against firebathero in the OSL.
|
|
|
I remember watching this game live and being on the edge of my seat the whole way through! Jaehoon really had me nervous there for a little bit 
|
Nice to see this kind of topic for an underestimated player, but honestly i don't really think people "hate" him, they just made fun of his embarassing mistakes.
|
Who can hate Jaehoon, seriously

Please tell me someone saw that ridiculous stasis the other night, where the stasis units all floated around on the ramp due to SCVs.

Yes, I saw that, as well as a dark archon which I don't think did anything. The entire game I was thinking, come on just attack the third base and you can win.

This thread is turning out to be exactly like the PvX thread again. -_-
Wow, then by your reasoning KT players must really detest Hoejja.
|
I disagree! I appreciate Jaehoon's efforts in keeping MBC alive! That's why I traded him off my anti team. Keep sweating brother~

KT doesn't have to depend on Hoejja winning to climb the ranks 
besides, its all in good fun.

Lol please keep that anti-jaehoon + Show Spoiler + out of this thread. Can't you see the title?

And MBC depends on Sea. So what's your point?
If you want to have fun with making jokes at Jaehoon, go post in the PvX thread.

ohh. Fanboy wars ..
These are always intriguing.
|
|
|
I certainly don't appreciate that -17 on my FPL. I suppose it could be worse though.
|
Jaehoon's hair looks pretty awkward right now. Maybe he'll start performing better if he gets a haircut?
|
OP updated with two recent wins.
|
Nice to see Jaehoon starting to pick it up some. Hopefully he will one day reach the skill level in televised matches we always here about in practice as he has always sounded beastly there.

It still floors me that there's a Jaehoon appreciation thread.
Jaehoon, guys. Bwahaha!
|
Jaehoon is definitely having a good time lately
Loved his game vs Fantasy.

As long as Jaehoon ruins my anti, i'll appreciate him
|
I like Jaehoon and when he is playing is always interesting to watch no matter if he wins or loses,its just he has more losses then wins thats all
oo and lately he is very good so
|
I'm sure that as long as he beats Shine for his 1 win in the middle of his slump, he'd be appreciated by lots of people.
|
I "appreciate" Jaehoon, he destroyed my entire fantasy team ;_;
|
Jaehoon performs a lot better under pressure nowadays. He probably won't become a superstar, but could end up being a regular performer for MBC.

JAAAAAAAAAEEEEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN BUMP for the recently S-class-looking record loveable JAEEEHOOOOONNNN :-)

I noticed your signature. Jaehoon happens to be a Taeyeon fan too. lol
|
I also stopped thinking that jaehoon is a total scrub (when he is on your antiteam ... damn what did I do). He really got better, not a total walkover anymore.
Congratz, I would appreaciate it if you could start losing for that PL season.

See what I did there?

Jaehoon is so gosu with his 83% winrate in his last 12 games. Jaehoon performing this well is a fantasy that I always had but never expected to actually become reality. Kim Jaehoon fighting, man
|
jaehoon ... i think his huge progress is due to him being on mbc
in any other team they would have sent someone else after so many fails
but no they kept putting their confidence in him and now he is paying them back back in spades
hoping for him to make it far in the osl !!

Pusan deserves a lot of credit. Jaehoon, Tyson and now Sang winning games.
|
then we should make a hoejja appreciation thread aswell lol
|
I think Jaehoon still has those moments where he walks an overwhelming amount of zealots/archons right past a hydralisk army, but, nevertheless, his gameplay is actually looking much more solid than before I think. I'm so proud of my Jaehoon. :')
|
I was shocked the past few MBC games, they sent him out and he just rocked people lol. ofc, its not him that's making my fantasy team go in the shitter (poor anti-team picking, got saddled with sea T_T), so I can love him. Every game he wins, I silently chant to myself...
