What boggles me is not the fact that they don't send JD - its' probably related to some "let's preserve JD" bullshit - but why not send someone other than freaking KILLER? The guy is terrible, and I can't imagine his play in pratice game being so much better that makes him Oz Ace player.

Send anyone else. Send Lomo, whatever.

Jaedong has said a lot of times that OZ is like his family. His best friends are on the team, and he wouldn't want to be coached by anyone else. Might be a little silly, and he might regret that down the line, but you have to realize that he's still a teenager and his friends are important to him. He's happy where he is at.

seriously, imho jd is more of a man than many ppl i know in rl who are 3, 4, 5 years older. whats got age to do with anything? its not like if he would leave hwaseung he'd have to move to europe or something.. i mean i always thought he wants to win, no matter if its proleague or a starleague. and with this team (and these stupid ace player decisions) that wont happen ever.

if it wasn't for jd winning the super ace against effort last season they wouldn't even have made the finals. and now they won't even make the playoffs because they lose to airforce ace and the like despite getting to the ace match. and what for? to send out another zerg who just sucks and even loses to boxer?

i don't know about jd, buy i'd be SO pissed. no matter how much you like your teammates, when it comes down to being successful the best player should play. and you won't tell me that jd even he drops a few games nowadays is worse than killer?

Killer might be the next Hyuk, you know get beatings from everyone in the beginning but will proceed on taking over the world.

No one wants to talk about the ceremonies and how awkward they were?

It was like JD: Do I have to do it?
Cho: Yes
JD: Its the dude's birthday...
Cho: So?
JD: This is stupid even FBH didn't do anything when he beat Yellow
Cho: Do it or I'll send Killer out for ace again
JD: Oh shit, fine fine
JD: Wtf man, You said you wouldn't send him out!
Cho: LOL, psych psych

I am laughing to not start crying...

But, if this is better for Jaedong (getting a rest...)

lol this is hilarious

"hey team lets lose! I'm not gonna send out JD"

the least they could do is send out another race. Killer doesn't have potential, he makes Backho look consistent

If you're going to bill the recommended games as spoiler-free, then you should make them spoiler-free. Labeling a spoiler "ACE match" spoils earlier games.

If you aren't going to use Jaedong, at least send out someone better! Hiya, Backho and Lomo would all be better picks. Plus, as pointed out many times, it would be a different race (so all of the practice the other ace put in for vZ v jaedong won't prove as the nail in the Oz coffin).

Ofc you dont, since you dont know Jaedong and you are not in his shoes.

Everyone just jumps the gun so fast... Just wait and see what this might lead to.

Missing the playoffs. Pretty obvious.

Recommending a game 4 is also a spoiler. And even if it wasn't labeled ace match, the fact that it wasn't on the initial lineup is a giveaway that it's an ace match.

Spoiler-free in the context of recommended games means that it doesn't give away the exact winners of the game in question. Obviously looking in recommended games at all has a chance of telling how far the match got.
