When I started following professional BW, Jaedong was on his way up. He had just won his first OSL iirc. From then on, I religiously watched his matches. I became a fan of Oz. I was going through a tough time personally, and BW kept me going. Jaedong was a huge part of that. Even though he is five years younger than me, he was my hero. The Tyrant. The man with the death stare. PirateZerg. His dedication and talent always impressed me.

I wish him well during his military service.

EE HAN TIMING forever.

My favourite game of his will always be the ensnare / lurker surround vs. Fantasy on Sin Chupung Ryeong, though.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

Good luck, Jaedong! Amazing fighter, role model and entertainer during all these years.
"To all eSports fans, I want to be remembered as a progamer who can make something out of nothing, and someone who always does his best. I think that is the right way of living, and I'm always doing my best to follow that." - Jaedong. /watch?v=jfghAzJqAp0

I will miss him. Definitely the most successful of the TaekBangLeeSsang and probably one of the most loved in SC2. I wish him all the best in the military, and if SC is around when he comes out maybe he can play again in some capacity.

Much love to PirateZerg, MoustacheZerg and OzSucksBallswithoutMe who are also leaving the scene to do their service.

I remember when I first got into watching pro-starcraft in 2008/2009 zerg seemed really weak. Bisu and the other dragons were absolutely wrecking everyone and I was getting bored of so many TvPs. Savior was hyped as the best zerg still but it was depressing seeing him lose more often than not as I tried to follow him. Then I heard about Jaedong and yeah he proved to be the one zerg who had no problem in any matchup. It didn't take long for him to become my favorite player. Seeing him beat Fantasy in the OSL finals might be my favorite memory. Then of course the painful year of 2010 happened and all of jaedong's teammates started sucking while flash became unstoppable. Still despite that Jaedong continued to put up the most entertaining games IMO and I couldn't help but be inspired by it. Would the other zergs that emerged after him like effort, zero, soulkey, and calm have made it without his example?

I thought just like Stork he will be exempt from military but guess I'm wrong... Almost no pro can make you excited and jump out of your chair like he does. He has the spirit of champion - no matter how bad his conditions, no matter how strong opponents are - JD already showed in KeSPA, in SC2 and post KeSPA/Afreeca era that he can climb to the top.

Never gonna say goodbye. We will be waiting and watching over you Tyrant!


Was Stork exempt? Why? Health reasons?

Good luck in military, Jaedong!


Yeah, heard he had problems with sleep.
sunbeams are never made like me...

Wish him all the best. Are there any good JD games lately? My latest memories of him was unpleasantly watching him get crushed in the ASL and KSL by Last and Flash


He recently had a really good showmatch vs Bisu that's worth watching:
