Flash, Bisu, and Jaedong seem to have pretty high game counts and great win %. Hopefully he'll get a chance to amend that to being a high game count person with 60%+! | ||

Playing more games also tends to 'stabilize' your W/L ratio (afaik JD's W/L ratio was around 69.4?% 09-10 season). Second, many, if not majority of the players listed are retired. So naturally their W/L ratio would tend to fall as they near the end of their careers. For instance, Nada was able to maintain a near 60% W/L ratio 8 years after his Panasonic days, which is in itself jawdropping (although Nada's always the exception to the rule...). Also keep in mind that older players played less number of games in their prime compared to some of the younger players. Players like Sea or Stork who started playing in 2004 - their 60% over the span of 7 years should be given more credit for consistency even if similar number of games were played over players whose debut was only 2 or 3 years ago. That being said, I don't think claims like quality > quantity does justice to these players. Can Flash/JD maintain their 70% ratios near the end of their careers? more likely than not. But let's give credit to those old timers too, yeah?  | ||

Let's not turn this into a Flash versus Jaedong thread like every other one. | ||

I think this goes back to what you mentioned about more games causes stabilization; it causes a sort of inertia in late in a player's career. You mentioned Nada had 65.20% (311 - 166) five years into his career; the main reason he stayed above 60% wasn't because he did well those last three years (he went 128 - 124), but because there were so many games played before that. Midas is sort of like that, as well, with 62.25% (188 - 114) four years into his career. He's gone 48 - 53 since then (June 2008 - March 2011), but he's still maintained fairly well. I think that's what's more impressive about Flash and Jaedong (graphs): Nada Jaedong Flash Nada's first five years compared with Flash and Jaedong's careers. Flash and Jaedong are maintaining or increasing (Flash) their lifetime winning percentages, because they are still winning as much as they ever were. Their longevity and stability is insane, really. | ||
