When I watch individual sports, I don't usually have favorite players. I don't even play Zerg, but when I go looking for a Starcraft game, I go looking for a Jaedong match. There's something special about watching you play. Thank you for that, and I'm glad you chose to be a progamer and bring us all so much joy.

How fast do you think Jaedong can type '@jd1231231'?

OP, this is such a wonderful idea. You made me write my first fan mail EVAR. To all you Scrooges who are saying it's all no big deal and we shouldn't bother - bah! More people in our lives should get these type of love letters. We should look for more reasons to send them, not more reasons to be selective.

Keep working on it! It gets muddy in the middle there, but I hear potential.

I think a piano line over the top or another guitar part would work well with what you have so far.

I don't know a lot of people who wouldn't be happy to have a song written for them.

Ya I agree with your suggestions, thanks.

It was my first time adding drums in a song. I was using a punching the guitar bridge for kick, hitting poster color boxes for snare/tom and a plastic bag with some metal hooks inside it with a paint brush for hi hat/ cymbals at the end haha. (and as you can hear the timing isn't perfect)

Got no money for a real drumkit. :D

Anyone can send me their comments by PM if they don't want it to be public (usually it means if you don't like it). I'm very open.

I just feel that I can express myself better this way.

Jaedong, you have been the greatest player in the world. You are the reason Zerg is now my favorite race. You're still capable of the genius plays you did in the past, and I truly believe you are capable of achieving more. Don't give up. You're my Starcraft hero. If you give up, I don't know what I'd do. Have more faith in yourself, and you'll be back on top. I believe in you Jaedong.

Jaedong is so emotional. I'll never imagine Bisu or Flash doing this. Bisu has never advanced in the OSL yet we never hear from him, except his map whines and seige tank imba complaints!

Anyway, be strong Jaedong. You still have what it takes to win, BW or SC2.

To be honest, i feel greatly for jaedong, but it would be wrong to not be honest with him. The fact is he is a zerg and like zergs before him, he will be hit hard by mechanics declining as he ages and he already has so, it is only realist he is dealing with these problems and changing career when he could have higher potential in other fields with his extreme perseverence, it is worth letting him have his introspection.

Well then let him come to the US and I will help him find a job and perfect his English, dangit!

"Before I saw Jaedong's games, I thought that Zerg was the race that needed the least feneese. more about numbers and build-orders, unit typed and swarms then anything else. Jaedong really changed that for me- his control, his ability to make the build he choose work for him instead of the other way around... skill and micro not just in the obvious but in the subtle touches; slight positionings, adjusted timings... his entire game has a FLOW to it, instead of just reactions and guesses that I tend to see from other Zergs.

OP, you need to define and limit the actual work needed if you want to finish this within your timeline.

Hey Jaedong! Even though I come from SC2 and have no idea what's going on in BW games I still love to watch your games and wish you much success in the future! <3

My first real experience with Professional Starcraft was watching the 2009 OSL finals. I had just joined University and heard my friends talking about how the finals were tonight and this new guy Flash was amazing and maybe the best ever. I stayed up the whole night just to watch the finals, and even after the power outage when my friends went to bed(because it was 5am for us) I stayed up and watched. I was so excited to see you win. The games were amazing and even though I was late to the scene, it inspired me to start watching Starcraft. The next day I pulled up all the VODs I could find of you. Jaedong, you are an inspiration and a Champion. I hope you continue on and make even more great memories for me and others ^_^

Jaedong, I've never really watched a lot of Brood War (I was too young and oblivious :/ ), but recently I have been watching some of your games and I must say, you are a frickin baller. Really, just watching you play made me want to play BW (it was too hard though

). Just letting you know that the "newfags" of TL really enjoy your awesome play!

I'd like to join supernovamaniac on the ground team. In Korea for the foreseeable future and pretty much half of my entire TL posting history is Jaedong related.

I also like how he never really complains about balance of maps or anything. In the many, many interviews I have read (ones I remember were back when all the maps were terran favored tvz unless I am mistaken?). A question would come up always about "well how do you feel on these maps that favor terran so much?". His responses would always impress me "It doesn't matter the better player will win". He always says something to that effect and I can't recall ever reading an interview of his where he was like "well the maps are really good for xx or really bad for zerg so I don't think I will do very well".

Jaedong fighting! I am sad to see him lose in the OSL so early but he is jaedong I don't see him giving up yet! Jaedong for life and I can't wait to see him playing more as I miss watching his play so much T_T.
