Sad that Nada's records are being beaten though haha xD Well, I guess it's more important that the older players were able to surpass their predecessors rather than worry about the future surpassing the older records | ||

Is it weird that this makes me nostalgic for the old days? People are really gung-ho over Flash nowadays, its weird to think that he's statistically tied with someone like Nada now, who until now seemed like this untouchable figure. Either way, congratulations to JD for his accomplishment. The swarm is limited in it's options as of late- (at least until August) so hell yeah! Represent, JD! ever since July switched, you've been the Overmind in my eyes.  | ||

Congrats to Jaedong though. Those are a hell of a lot of wins to accumulate in a progaming career. | ||

NaDa's accomplishments never real feel as impressive to me as maybe they should, simply because they were from a different era of objectively inferior play. For Football fans it's like Real Madrid in the 50's, they were just crushing everyone but it was a whole different game back then. They are still respected for their awards but they don't even come into the discussion compared to today's Barcelona or some of the 80's and 90's teams (AC Milan with Marco Van Basten comes to mind). Flash and Jaedong feel like the real deal for me. Just watch one of the Coca-Cola starleagues that recently went up on nevake if you want a laugh compared to current BW. NaDa advanced ahead a bit quicker than everyone else and crushed everyone for a period. But does it fee like Flash's ridiculous peak recently? It's not the same to me. And not just bias because NaDa left for SC2, because he was a great player even right up until he left. Number of titles never feels like the right measure of skill anyway when you have so many Starleagues were arguably the better player lost or it just had a weird bracket. Let's rate them by their play at their best. Jaedong in ZvT at his best is the best ZvT ever in the game, his ZvP when practiced and at his peak is almost unbeatable, and he redefined ZvZ skill to the point where he had the highest win ratio in any matchup. | ||

Nice achievements from JD, but I'm actually just hoping Leta returns to his "23 ace victories" form. It's time to get back on the horse and rack up those wins, dear Leta. i felt so bad for leta rofl fuck you justin | ||
