Jaedong was at the Final Four tournament; I'm sure he'll come to his senses eventually, seeing the fans cheering.

How often has someone said something in an interview, and then done the exact opposite? Quite often - so it's to be expected. It's just a matter of time...BW's pull is stronger.

Does Jaedong not have special educational exemption from army, due to his previous acceptance into a low entry rate online educational institution?

Yeah, the practice results are actually pretty weird cause from interviews, it basically seems like JD never lost there but then would lose the broadcasted game.

Bisu=Recently I was playing on a server where a lot of progamers frequent, and I went 0-10 against this one player. I thought he was really good and guessed it was either Jaedong or (Z)ZerO. I just couldn't beat him. He was too good. I thought that if this isn't Jaedong or Zero, our team must sign him immediately. I kept asking him who he was, but he wouldn't say. I was really curious, but then Alone came and said 'This is Jaedong's smurf account.' I was once again reminded of Jaedong's greatness.
JD=I had no idea that was you (laughs). But more importantly, I'm going to have a word with Alone for leaking such secrets (laughs).
Bisu=From that day on, I knew Jaedong was really good. I really couldn't think of a way to beat him at the time.
JD=You embarrass me. Why can't you lose to me like that in broadcasted matches (laughs).
Bisu=I get a surge of confidence when I know I'm playing against Jaedong for some reason (laughs).

Did they practice with each other before then? They never requested practice games personally, but a practice session between the two had been arranged by the team staff before. This happened when Bisu just transferred to SK Telecom T1, so it was over a year ago. Even the number of games they played is only a couple.

As of now, Jaedong is slightly ahead on head to head score. When we asked if things were any different during practice, “I lost all the games” Bisu remarked stiffly. Jaedong laughed awkwardly and mentioned that he thinks he may have lost some of them. It seems Bisu remembers the encounter during practice more clearly.


There are more examples too but dont feel like digging them up atm ie where Bisu says JD did dumb allins and lost but then when JD played macro games after, Bisu kept losing. I think Zimp even uploaded 2 of those practice games because it referenced Circuit Breaker.


So, applying the above, JD would prob win if they ever met on Afreeca as it's more of a relaxed practice atmosphere (but I dont ever see JD going that route for a variety of reasons so it's moot) but would lose in stuff like SSL.


Jaedong and Bisu did play a best of 5 series in the GOMTV Averatec-Intel Classic Season 2 Special Match, and Jaedong won 3-2. Additionally, Jaedong typically does exceptionally well in best of series, and in tournament situations, and adapts well to various adverse situations (e.g. unexpected situations, being down - in best of series), and has an unparalleled will to win. Bisu does not (it's been mentioned before, Bisu is very successful when he can prepare for a specific situation, but in a best of series, on a variety of different maps, in a variety of different situations, he will be significantly less successful - also he has exceptional fundamental mechanics, but his understanding of the game(e.g. build order strategy/development) is relatively poor compared to players like Stork, Best, Jaedong etc. (mentioned in interviews)). Additionally, Bisu typically has problems against players like Shine, in individual leagues, and going 3-2 against Larva B teamer in SSL? A poor indicator. Based on the above, Jaedong would be favored in both practice and individual leagues.

Add the rust factor in and the fact that Larva was playing like a top-tier A-teamer for his SSL run and I'd have to say that it's a dead even match. TBLS matches have always brought out the best in each other, and I honestly think that if Jaedong and Bisu were to have a Bo5 title match, Bisu would pull out all the stops to practice like he would have before when he was still in SKT T1.

Typical fanboy analysis.

Recent official results in what had been widely considered the most important league (Proleague) speak otherwise.

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.


You forgot all those time on bnet where he was 10-0 against Bisu ! (Bisu didn't know it was JD :p).

Please do more of these, and please interview some BW pros other than TBLS or bonjwas. I think we've had enough of coverage of jaedong and need more interviews with players who weren't the best, but still deserve an interview. Thanks for this one however, it was very well done.

I really liked this interview and the questions. If anyone was to ask me to summarize Jaedong's BW career, I would probably point him/her to this video from now on (apart from the wiki page, of course!).

Only got two words to say....Thank You.

Well, maybe more. Even though I was/still am a Flash fan (I'm Terran player), I will always have massive respect for Jaedong. (and Stork and Bisu along with many others). The guy is just pure passion and competitor, it's hard to not like him. I remember cheering for him when he was playing against Fantasy in Batoo OSL final and Bacchus OSL semi-final.

Bisu vs Jaedong OSL would have been something indeed...if only Bisu didn't choke against Fantasy in Batoo....
Or if Jaedong didn't get steamrolled by Flash's mech on Katrina (which incidentally was the 1st Flash vs Jaedong game I ever watched and had a big influence on me eventually deciding to choose Terran)

Five championships and four silvers in major leagues. Jaedong is truly a legendary Broodwar player, and it was nice to hear him talk about his career. This interview made me kind of sad thinking back on the days when Flash was so astoundingly good. Thanks for the interview!

P.S., I think JD would have owned Bisu in series play, and he was right there in the finals so it's really Bisu's fault for not rising to the challenge :p

Omg this interview just blew me away, totally awesome. Thank you so much, I've been a Jaedong fan for quite a while but this just makes me want to cheer for him more. First "reflection interview" I watch but most other interviews I see of SC2 players are just so... Not serious, just goofing off. That really reflects their attitude towards the game compared to JDs, this guy so passionate.

Thanks for this.

I think of all the Brood War pro games, Jaedong is the player I miss the most. His attitude is superb and it always came through in his games and in his expression. <3 Legend Killer.
