I was going to start a Jaedong thread before I saw this one. But seriously, am I the only one that is observing that (after his win against Iris last night) Jaedong has surpassed NaDa's peak ELO, hence ranking 3rd (only behind Savior and iloveoov) for the highest ELO ever reached? (based on TLPD).

The ELO will only inflate as time goes on, which doesn't have to do with more games as much as the players retiring/leaving will always be the ones with lower ELO's therefore ever increasing the average ELO. If they could be compared to their percentage above the active average it would be a better indicator of dominance when comparing different eras.

I think its pretty interesting that we have these players who evolve to a point where no play knows how to play/counter them and they just utterly DOMINATE for a period. We had it with oov's macro, nada's Sk style, bisu's revolution of PvZ and saviors control style. Its cool that the field is generally so close that it is just a matter of the other players getting to head level for that once invincible god like player to again "fall" or become mediocre (average).

Savior is still my favorite player. His style and persona was amazing. Always respectful. Intimidating. He was the "villain." Something I was always drawn to even as a boy. His game vs Nal_rA embodies what I call BW perfection.

Savior was also the guy that came out and played his offrace against a former champion gorush because hes that bad ass. Sure he lost, but it was a decent game and if anything, it showed savior had balls of steel.

I hope he returns to be something of what he was. His character is a true gift to this game.

I didn't expect to be moved as much as I am. Never really liked savior, but I guess the transition from the Maestro to just another zerg has to be tough.

I'll miss you too, Ma Jae Yoon

He once had the skill, he has talent, he COULD come back.
Just like NaDa he could come back and win another OSL or MSL.

I believe!

We will still get to see him in February, even if he doesn't make it out of his OSL group. Though I can't imagine him doing well in the Star Invitational group that he was put into.
