Full disclosure, I am a Jaedong fan. Having watched the group selection for the round of 16 I was surprised to see how eager Rain was to play Jaedong. Also many of the players faked picking Jaedong throughout the rounds with Larva even dropping his card at one point. I get the feeling that people are thinking Jaedong is not in his best form and while that may be true I am still surprised that Rain didn't ask Flash to swap with sSak so he could play Mind first round. Thoughts? | ||

He wanted to be switched into a group with Soulkey and JD? With PvP against Stork which is basically a toss up... I'd say that he has around 10% chance of advancing from that group. I was thinking the same thing but didn't want my bias to Jaedong get in the way so I thought I would ask you guys. I cant wait for this group, so hyped. | ||

I'm no writer of fanfiction, but I'll do my best for you. ************************* In a backstage locker room of the ASL ************************* Jaedong was alone in the room packing his things together getting ready to go. As he zipped his bag and turned to exit the locker room. He saw Rain standing in the doorway. "Rain, is everything okay?" Rain smiled. "Yeah, JD. I wanted to talk to you before you left." Rain walked towards Jaedong who put his bag down on the bench. "What were you thinking earlier at the selection ceremony? You had a MUCH better chance to advance from Group A with Flash! Rain, what were you thinking moving to my group like that??" "It's okay, JD. If it means I get to be in your group, I would gladly risk losing my place in the ASL." Jaedong's mouth went wide open. "What! Why?" "It's because..... I'm in love you, JD." Jaedong was stunned. "I... I thought you loved FlaSh." Rain stepped forward and placed his right hand on Jaedong's shoulder. "I do love FlaSh, but I'm IN love with you." "Why didn't you tell me this earlier, Rain?" "I didn't realize......... just how much I had feelings for you until I saw everyone touching your name tag at the board. It made me think about how much I want to touch you." Rain's hand started moving down Jaedong's chest. "How much I want to kiss you." His hand started moving down Jaedong's stomach. "Unlike Larva, I won't ever drop you." His hand started to go even lower. "Because my love for you is boundless." Jaedong placed his hand over Rain's, stopping him. "No, wait, Rain. We can't..." Rain placed his other hand on Jaedong's shoulder. "It's okay, JD. I'd like to show you just how much I want you." Rain leaned forward and licked Jaedong's ear. Jaedong closed his eyes and gasped as feelings of warmth spread throughout his body. Rain whispered in his ear. "Do you like this, hyung?" Jaedong was lost for words. This reminded him of his days with Lomo at the Hwaseung OZ house. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't. His breathing became heavy. Rain seized the moment and kissed Jaedong, pushing him against the lockers. Jaedong embraced Rain, his hands roaming Rain's body. "AHHHHHHHHHH!!" Startled, Rain and JD fell out of their embrace and looked to the source of the noise at the entrance of the locker room. It was FlaSh! "What's going on in here!? What have you done, Rain???? I thought we had something special!" Rain was in disbelief. He thought FlaSh left the ASL studio already. "FlaSh-hyung, I thought you left already! I can explain!" "No, Rain, I don't want to hear it. I thought you loved me. I can never forgive you! I'm not your BFF anymore!" FlaSh ran out the door. Jaedong turned to Rain. "Whoa, are you a super player? You pick up progamers and play StarCraft?" Rain grinned. ************************* THE END ************************* Shalashaska_123 | ||

But Flash wanted no Protosses in his group, so Rain made a deal. Group B is obviously insane so that's off bounds, and between C and D I think D is easier. | ||

In his streams he's getting destroyed. Definitely not close to his true form. Bisu and Shuttle are straight up wrecking though (the last KCM showed a whole new Shuttle).

Overall, I would say that Jaedong being last-picked speaks for itself... Even though people joked about taking him, nobody actually wanted to if they could choose someone else. | ||

Rain knew he had the option of bringing in someone even scarier than himself (like Jaedong), hoping Flash would boot the scary player and leave him, but this strategy could backfire. Flash could decide, for example, to have some LeeSsangRok in the Ro16 and put Rain somewhere bad. Rain hoped above all to avoid Group B, so he struck a bargain with Flash that sacrificed his chance of being in his favorite group (Group A) in exchange for avoiding his least favorite group (Group B).

Also near the end when Larva challenged Flash, despite the selection ceremony having been mostly complete Flash was pondering whether to take Larva's offer head on.

Flash saying he takes challenges seriously is one thing, actually taking them is another. I just remember the last ASL where both his choices made his group easier (First picking Hyun to his group then switching effort with ggaemo). This season was hardly different. Flash, in general, doesn't strike to me as a player who would make gutsy moves such as Larva's gimmicks in the group ceremony, instead he seems to constantly be opting for the most optimal route for wins. | ||

Fine, I get effort not wanting him in the group with all zergs and flash/rain wanting a terran but then why did group C not pick him? I suspect you are right on both counts. Jaedong may be rusty but you never know when a champion is going to remember something of his old form right out of the blue. Just look what Stork ended up doing to Last. I think they don't want to pick Jaedong because, rusty as he may be, there is always a chance that on game day it will be champion Jaedong that sits down to play in stead of rusty Jaedong. Also, I got the impression that Larva picked Effort to be even more certain that Shine was going to get knocked out but maybe I bought too much into his big talk. | ||
