Oh, yeah, he strung some wins together against terrans to get a meaninglessly high elo. Look what happened right after his peak vt elo. He lost yet another bo5 vs. a terran. Look at all the bo5s he played against terrans in the two major leagues. Do you know what his record is in those bo5s?
Its 0-8 always coming short of winning a title still means that he was very close to it for a long period of time. he was consistently the best zerg out there for many years. he was just too consistent in earning silvers aswell. 
but not having won a starleague doesnt take away anything from how good yellow was. for a long time if there was a zerg u didnt want to face, it was yellow.

i dont know where else to write this but flash's official highest win streak is now 15!!!!! insane!!!!

it's almost as insane as gorush's 16

not to mention, have you SEEN the maps they were playing on back then? it's a miracle a zerg ever won a ZvT back then lol. ESPECIALLY without muta-micro or proper defiler usage.

So now that Jaedong has passed Yellow's vT peak Elo:
Top 2 peak Elo... vT is Flash, Jaedong vZ is Jaedong, Flash vP is Jaedong, Flash
Overall it goes Flash, Bisu, Jaedong with Bisu's peak being exactly 1 higher than Jaedong's. Jaedong might fix that soon, though (edit: he's currently 6 points away from Bisu's Elo peak but he's about to play a minimum of 5 games against Flash so...)

if he wins the first game against flash, it should be enough to get the missing 5 points. so yeah, jd is one win against flash away from breaking bisus peak elo.

Would be pretty hilarious if Jaedong beats Bisu's peak with a game that does not matter at all.

and he did it.
JD now at 2372, new personal elo Peak and surpassing Bisu's peak of 2366.
oh, and he took back the #1 elo spot

Jaedong takes Nr.1 ELO position and surpasses Bisus peak too.

Awesome, but he's still far behind Flash's peak.

As much as I like Bisu, JD definitely deserves this. Hoping to see him surpass Flash in peak soon.

Probably just confused your pessimism with optimism.
In spite of the :/ face.
Nice to see him hit a new personal high, though. I'd like to see him hit 2300 against Terran, though.
