it's true that jaedong was not the undisputed #1 very often at all recently. still, people love to call slump on players that they hate for whatever reason. it's especially strange to see people hating on players that have elevated the game like jaedong, bisu, and flash. calm is obviously an innovative player and it's good to see something somewhat new in ZvZ.

looking through PR jaedong doesn't have as many #1 spots as you would think. he was, however, #1 or #2 behind flash (or sea lol) from january 2008 until november 2008, and taken as a whole he's been the dominant player of this year so far.

after tomorrow he'll have played at least 11 games against fantasy in 2009 lol

Some of you Anti JD douches (cough* terrans *cough) need to stop rooting for Calm just because Calm is facing JD. Especially when some of you don't cheer for Calm for other matches. I myself actually root for Calm when he's facing other players

Why douches? I simpy do not like Jaedong same as I do not like sAviOr altough I'm a zerg player, I love NaDa, iloveoov and some of the retired players like ChOJJa, rA, GF, JJu etc, because they were specific and charismatic players, that's all about it :D

Nope. Calm has been really good for several seasons now in PL. Nice to see him in a Individual League Final for once.

an unexpected result for me :O, I knew calm was always 'on fire' every season, but this season he truly out-done himself.

Now I seriously want Clam to take MSL (yay one more trophy for STX besides July)

Oh well atleast the STX fans have something to be happy about
it's been a while since STX fans were happy D:

im not surprised either, im a huge JD fan but in the last 30 games he has had around 50% win ratio... thats really bad for him

so i didn't see him winning this at all... I still hope he gets his shit together before facing fantasy, but it probably won't happen =[

last time his win ratio dropped that low it took him about a month to recover

actually last time he had a bad month, i added him to my fantasy anti-team, and let's just say that was a very VERY bad idea
