I am convinced that Jaedong is by far the most well disciplined individual I have seen within an e-Sports industry I have witnessed thus far.

Jaedong's mindset and professional demeanor has been praised by literally everybody in the scene:

NaDa: "Professional gamers need to have drive and passion, but they also need humility. Jaedong is very skilled, but has humility on top of that. He is at the apex, yet is respectful to everybody around him, regardless of their age. He deserves the title of a professional."

January (ex-manager of Samsung Khan): "I like his gaming style, and every time I have talked to him in person, I was impressed with his attitude and mindset. His gaming style and attitude is what I want from a player. He is hard working also."

Horang2: "I want to learn from Jaedong's mindset. The way in which he sustains his form through practice even though he is at the top is truly astonishing."

JangBi: "The best player is Jaedong. He is a gaming machine. How do you even practice that hard? It is mind boggling."

Lee Jae-Kyun (ex-manager of Woongjin Stars): "I believe that the player who has everything a manager could want from a gamer is Jaedong. It is not only his results he brings, there is nothing to fault about his mindset or the way in which he applies himself during practice. If I tell a player that he needs to play a hundred matches in order to win in a single televised match, most players would be exasperated with the work load. Jaedong would take it in strides. That is what differentiates him from the rest."

Jaedong (I'm roughly paraphrasing what he once said on stream): "I know for a fact that I was the hardest working player back in the days. It is not just about playing the most amount of games. It is about pushing yourself to your limits with each and every game."

Jaedong may not be the most talented gamer to have touched the game, but the way in which he applied himself during his professional years cannot be matched by anyone. Yes there were those who matched his discipline in very short bursts, but none that managed to sustain that level of rigor and devotion to a single craft for that long. It is something I haven't seen from any video gamer I have heard or seen thus far.
