Lee 'Jaedong' Jae Dong, legendary BW champion and "The Tyrant", is the star of the 15th episode of my 'Reflections' interview series.

Time line of topics discussed:

00:39 Intro

00:43 Playing in the Courage tournament as a BW amateur.

01:20 Did he ever wonder if he wouldn't make it as a top BW pro?

02:30 The key moment when he felt he had reached the status of being a top player.

03:59 Beating Stork in his first OSL final, despite being considered weak in ZvP.

05:54 The first time Flash became his rival.

07:42 A statement he'd made about Flash being his friend in a past life.

08:50 Coming back from 0:2 to beat Fantasy in the Batoo OSL final.

10:06 The Lee Jae Dong score, losing map one and winning the next three in a row.

11:07 His ZvZ being 90% win-rate in BW.

12:17 The story of the NATE MSL final and Flash supposedly being unbeatable in it, but Jaedong overcoming him.

13:57 The story of Rekrul betting big money on Jaedong, vs. Flash fanboys on TL.

16:33 Bisu and Jaedong never meeting in a big OSL or MSL semi-final or final, despite being a dream match-up.

18:21 How Bisu was different from other Protoss in PvZ.

19:49 Struggling early on in SC2.

21:20 Did coming second so many times in SC2 give him a new perspective on people with "the silver curse" like YellOw, Stork and Fantasy?

22:38 How Jaedong thinks of himself.

24:08 Final words/Outro.

thx for not posting this in the sc2 section. The majority of this interview really is about BW content, as Jaedong commited the most time in his carrier to BW.

Omg this interview was so awesome thank you Thorin!!!
Maybe just me but I thought there were some times in the interview where Jaedong reflecting on his BW days almost made him tear up or something especially when he talked about Courage and about Flash. And the interview series is called "Reflections." :O aptly named! lol
I wish Jaedong expanded on some of his questions since quite a lot of his answers were pretty broad. Woulda loved to hear him talk about ZvZ micro or the popularization of late mech and how it impacted the ZvT matchup.
really really cool interview though thank you!

That was awesome.

JD beat Bisu a lot in practice. Too humble there in his close 2-2 finals prediction.

Great interview, thanks for this Thorin! I've gotten the idea before, from reading interviews, that he thinks his confidence and mentality make up his strongest attribute, and this really confirms that. It's also interesting that he doesn't have much to say about several of the things fans seem to spend a bunch of time thinking about and discussing (silver curse, etc)... he just plays the game and focuses on winning.

Funny that he called players by their names sometimes and by their IDs other times. I thought Koreans used players' real names pretty much exclusively... is that some evidence of his time around foreigners?

Bisu's 12-8 record begs to differ. He's 7-1 since midway through 2009 against Jaedong. Hardly humble. I thought it was pretty damn accurate.

Bisu 3-2

Jaedong is the only zerg I appreciated. Just seeing him at the stage would give me this impression of confidence and power, something I've never perceived on Flash.
