Jaedong dropping one game doesn't mean shittt


I voted an equal mix of random + effort improving. He's prob a top 5 player now though, underneath Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, and one other random player I'm not thinking about.

Yeah, beating Jaedong, Luxury, Stork, free, Mind, Hiya, July, fOrGG, and Flash means NOTHING. Seriously, anyone could do this. Even fucking tester could go on a 10 game streak playing scrubs like the ones Effort has played. God, may as well get some random BGHer on East to play these people - no doubt he would at least go 50/50.

qft man, qft


Dont mess with (P)Tester, he has 100% wins against (Z)Jaedong AND (T)Flash.


Holy shit, Tester really is undefeated vs Jaedong and Flash. That's pretty creepy.
God Bless

Just watch his play. It's clearly skill that has gotten him this streak. He displays immaculate mechanics, timing, and strategy along with the star-sense of a master.

cj house is interesting, i think they practice very hard but often their younger players have nerves on TV. this was the case with kwanro (who recently seems to be doing better) and also skyhigh, who did great on offline prelims (like 14-0 to start) but was bad his first few TV matches.

effort has been the best zerg on CJ for quite some time now, almost 9 months:

i am basing this solely off of what i see during CJ proleague matches, but the kid cares. he's a team player, he's humble, and he's come up through one of the most difficult team practice systems out there. ever since the team-ceremonies that xellos, much, and iris did to stick it to FBH when savior was slumping, i've loved CJ more and more. effort is a continuation of that and of all the things i've mentioned above with relation to our memories of savior. even his name is representative of this. his choice of ID is not one that represents a sun god or jesus or even something that's cool like bisu or shark. it's an ID that embodies the CJ spirit more than anything. it's all you need to be a good teammate, to win. if CJ could be embodied in one noun, it'd be effort.

to us CJ fans, he means much more than just the next big zerg player.

Meh, it's a pretty impressive streak, but you really must take a good luck at just who he has been playing. Sure, he has had quite a few big wins against the top players on the scene right now, but that only counts for a small portion of the 28 games you listed. What about all the filler in between?

+ Show Spoiler +
doctor.k (lol)
ganzi (lol)
free (2-8 oh boy)
hyun (3-7 woah!)
lucifer (even better 1-9)
forgg (nuff said)
pure (2-8)
ruby*2 (2-8)
july (3 zvz wins in the past year)
bogus (who?)
baby (3-7 watch game against JD for lulz)
hiya (hiya's TvZ T_T)


He has certainly come a long way in these 28 games considering that he was on a 5 game losing streak going into them, but imo he is still only top 5. It is going to be very interesting to see if he can keep this up through the SL's and earn a title.

Hot Bid, that post brought a tear to my eye. Neo Savior fighting!

Idra, if you ever read this, some insider information would be greatly appreciated. How good is he in practice? Does he really have a mentor/mentee relationship with savior?

I am all for Effort and he is playing very well lately. However, he still will not be at the very top until he makes it into the final of a starleague.
Great player, anyway.

i think this goes without saying, of course he will have to win a league in order to be at the very top

effort is a beast, #2 zerg only behind Jaedong for sure

btw, am i going blind? where is everyone seeing "Effort is better than jaedong/bisu!" obviously bisu/jd are the kings of starcraft, but Effort is next inline for jaedong's throne

Since I play zerg and love to cheer for them, I hope he does better on his first real run in a SL than Leta did.

Wow that really sums up what I think about Effort ànd CJ, couldn't have said it better. :o I love CJ and what CJ stands for as a team, I admire Effort and what Effort stands for as a player.

Effort reminds me a lot of Leta during his dominating Proleague days. Of course, the calibur of the Leta's opponents can be argued to be less than that of Effort's, but the comparison is still somewhat valid.

He boasted a similiar record of something like 25-4:

Effort made his debut by beating down Tossgirl 2-0 in GOM...I remember...haha.

Then everyone was talking shit on Tossgirl for getting owned by a complete nobody no one had ever heard of.

Then Effort started making waves...and now this??

The guy is a great player.

No, Effort actually lost a game to Tossgirl.

He has come so far since then~

no random varience could do could account for this awesome win streak. If you think its only out of 28 occurances, you have to take into account every great play in every game that has made this guy win.

PL/GOM winrates tend to be inflated for players who are above average, so the chance of it being random variance is considerably higher than it looks.

That being said he has looked very good against tough opponents so it feels pretty safe to say hes a beast.
