Now that the first round is over, the first list seems pretty accurate. JD probably is b-tier though, same as light

From his performance in ro24 alone JD seems to be tier 4 for the upcoming ro16(i mean only obviously worse players than him are Scan and probably Action(not sure tbf).

He will generally be drafted as tier 3 probably because his ZvZ is unpredictable and SK will want him out of his group.

Well online he still looked very solid, but the game vs Stork reminds me of Queen a year ago: play not to lose

JD is literally the most experienced offline player in the ASL, what would bring his form in live event down?

He has said himself that he gets in negative mindset on stage, self doubt and such. He doesnt have the same confidence anymore because his micro and multitasking is no longer on its own unique level. most pros have his level of micro and multlitasking these days. He can no longer sqeeuze out small advantages with it. These days its more about optimizations with timings, exact unit and worker numbers, misdirections, cutting corners, decisive attacks and retreats, securing areas etc. Jaedong has shown to be weaker at specifically misdiredtion, decisive movements and exact unit numbers.

Thats true, however it just means the field got better and JD just did not improve on top of what he was capable 15 years ago, not that he is bad offline, in fact if anything - he should have advantage offline because he is used to play in front of crowds and in a studio set up. He has probably more than 200 big live events(both BW and SC2 combined).

JD needs to realize that he can't just randomly switch into all-ins in 2025 and win consistently

He needs to play steady macro games

Yep, while at that I would highly recommend dropping Hero to B too. You don't become an athlete of the sport by binging drinks. That includes the both of them. I love rooting for them, but they need to wisen up their game. Starcraft is too important to throw your health this time around. Good health and smart reflexes win games.

It isn't that Rush is low, its that others are higher because they are playing better at this moment in time. Rain is an enigma. he somehow pulls up and performs despite looking bad.

What's the context here? Is Hero drinking a lot on stream or what? He looked really strong in his group, a lot stronger than Light and especially Jaedong.

That's some weird take. I mean they are the best progamers out there but I'm more of an athlete than these guys lol. If we consider physical appearance most of them are overweight I believe and yeah Hero is probably only second to Mong in that category.

Doesn't limit his capability of hitting SH, mind.

Good. If you look at the ro4 introductions last season that is what he said while sharp said he exercised and got in shape.

There's negative effects to being obese for a gamer, but it comes mostly from the increased exposed risk to bad sleep. Sleep has been proven over and over to be one of the most important factors in facilitating consistent cognitive performance at a high level. Worse sleep decreases cognitive performance over time. There is a linear correlation between obesity and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. In obese people, fat deposits in the upper respiratory tract narrow the airway; there is a decrease in muscle activity in this region, leading to hypoxic and apneic episodes, ultimately resulting in sleep apnea. These hypoxia/apnea episodes lead to a decrease in oxygen that is available in body tissues and blood vessels. The decreased oxygenation causes tissue hypoxia, which is the main contributing factor to atherosclerosis, the main risk factor for Cardiovascular Diseases. So for both present day performance and future health there's risks involved.

Another issue is there not being any safe amount of alcohol consumption. Any amount of alcohol is neurotoxic and already has a negative effects on the body and cognitive function
