It's likely IMO that they'll end up in the winners match for their group together. Then the very next day is the conclusion of their OSL quarterfinal! Plus they are both in the starting lineup for their teams that are very close in the proleague standings. My random thought... could be the start of a rivalry? (I made sure not to spoil their game last night but I can't vouch for any responses.) | ||

For some reason, I feel that Light is the best Terran to have a chance against Jaedong. I think Light's excellent late game matches up well against Jaedong's play. Of course, Light has absolutely atrocious early game play... which is a problem. But I like Light's 1-rax CC against Jaedong's 3-hatch. Hmmm you know what would help this discussion? What if there were some sort of record-keeping site where I could see what their head-to-head results were? Maybe if that site also had VODs so I could watch their matches and analyze the matchup? That site would rock | ||

I figured that was a little too tilted in Boxer's favor, but he's known for coming out on top in the most important matches Anyway, I still think Light (or any terran other than Sheis) is going to have a tough time standing toe-to-toe with Jaedong for any extended period of time. | ||

That site would rock i totally totally totally agree. light has one of the strongest mid to late game terran games i've ever seen. However, light tries to get super cute early game for some reason. I think he needs to really really work on those cute openings, or just stick to his solid fast expo plays. then he'll start demolishing them zergs! ^_^ | ||

TLPD isnt as accurate, the farther back you go i think the official record is like 35-32 or something in boxer's favor | ||

I agree with whoever it was that Light probably has one of the best chances against Jaedong.. partly because he's just been playing really really well, lately. He got totally ridiculously owned by Kwanro a couple times recently, but Kwanro can be such a beast when he has a good day that you can't really blame him for it. Maybe I just haven't seen enough games of his, but... doesn't Light do decently well with his openings? I mean.. he blocks off with marines or whatever, like is normal... Unlike the terran that Jaedong played in MST (Ruin) that for some reason didn't make a blockade and his marines just got owned by lings real quick. I also like the 1rax to cc thing... with a good scout he can make sure the zerg is doing the normal thing and 3 hatching so he doesn't really need more than 2 marines behind the blockade for a while. Plenty of time to get another cc and some econ. Especially good on all these maps with an expansion on the same ridge as the main (Katrina, Persona, etc). I liked how FBH used it to go mass econ on Savior in Proleague... | ||

However, Light has an even more amazing ability to come back from bad situations in the mid and late game. This is because he has excellent fundamentals (ie=macro and micro), very good positioning/map control sense, and a one-of-a-kind ability to know how to hit his opponent where it hurts while slowly gaining the upper hand. Light makes these wonderful decisions that force his opponent to engage in losing battles consistantly. It's almost like he plays better when he's behind. I want him to just give up the cute shit and play to get to late game as safely as possible. He can throw a few twists into his game, like early ebay, or two-fac/SK mix up, but he needs to stop fucking around in the early game to become championship caliber. Light needs to realize that he doesn't need to play like Nada. Sea is Nada. Light is the spiritual successor to oov, and he should play like it. | ||

Perhaps one of the reasons he tries these "cute" openers, as they may well have worked well in practice games. | ||

Saint, Shark and Hyun stand out as names I recognize somewhat, but don't strike me as effective practice material when you're facing players like Jaedong in the field. Perhaps one of the reasons he tries these "cute" openers, as they may well have worked well in practice games. There's nothing baring them from playing with people outside their teams, hell I recently read an old interview where Savior said he practiced with Sea[Shield] for his OSL finals game. | ||

Light played awesome in that game and still lost. | ||

Yeah, but you're talking about the OSL finals. This Ro8 OSL game is (according to TLPD) the only time they've played each other televised outside of proleague. More than likely (in my uneducated opinion), the vast majority of practice time he's put in has been with teammates. Basically, I find it unlikely that any non-MBC Zerg would have spent much (if any) time helping Light practice his cute valk build against them. | ||

Apparently Light has won a game on Monty for PL R2 but honestly aside from them meeting each other frequently (which I guess counts for something), nothing has happened yet to suggest any sort of rivalry. Well, I guess we'll see with time. | ||

TLPD has all the official games as recorded by KeSPA, plus a few recent unofficial/exhibition ones which are not taken into account for stats. In that sense, 19-12 is their "official" record As for Light vs Jaedong, I also think Light's only (slight) chance is to survive until late game, but Jaedong usually rapes Terrans during midgame in the worst case. What a fucking monster. | ||

I just see Jaedong ruining Light's chances in both starleagues at the same time and Jaedong getting pissed and wanting revenge (like Hwasin wanted revenge against Bisu) | ||

Maybe Nal_rA, and their holy wars. But those were rather one-sided affairs. | ||

Secondly, they faced each other shortly thereafter in Superfight Race Wars, when once again Bisu crushed Savior on a beta version of Geometry which made the intensity of their "head to head" encounters concrete. While they haven't met since then until this week's osl, the fact that bisu effective "dethroned" savior from his absolute domination of the pro scene when everyone expected bisu to lose 0-3 after vacationing in Thailand or wherever dramatically increased the expectation and interest in their relationship. And as someone mentioned above, it is very true that quite frankly we dont give a shit until both players in a so called "rivalry" have actually accomplished anything. Light and Jaedong havent dont anything in individual leagues. Jaedong is an invaluable player in proleague, but his track record ends there. Light is an important but replaceable proleague player for mbc. Even if something memorable happens this osl, we aren't likely to perceive them as rivals, I'd reckon. It'd have to be later on in the tournament, or there'd have to be some sort of parity in their games. | ||
