The only reason a thread like this popped up is that Flash is being record breakingly dominant. Take Flash out of the equation and we would still think of JD as the clear #1.

This MSL will decide a lot. Let's wait and see.

it's amazing how consistently jaedong wins even when he's not "dominant". he won his last osl during a "slump" (loses to calm in msl, loss to fantasy in proleague championship), won his last msl while in a similar sort of slump. Not to mention one of the greatest zvp streaks ever which got very little recognition due to flash.

So I wouldn't say Jaedong is second best. Flash goes through more dominant stretches but Jaedong knows how to win when it counts.

Isn't he playing through some sort of an injury? As long as it's not something serious/long term, I'm not at all worried about him. Last MSL wasn't that long ago

Slump? oh you mean he actually has to lose 3 games per 10 to maintain that 70% winrate? oh... yea... slump...

flash is just so dominant right now that Jaedong doesnt have any room to assert his dominance.

He's still pretty good...looking at his record, his ZvZ is 75% (last 10: 8:2) and and his ZvP is reaching close to 70% (last 10: 9:1)
if anything, maybe its his ZvT thats a little weak, but that's still over 60% (last 10: 5:5)

That's not true though. Starting from November and ending at his MSL victory about 3 months later, he went 29-7 (81%). For comparison, Flash went 37-11 (77%) during the same time period (with a tougher schedule, though, and probably a higher general level of skill from his opponents due to going all the way in both SL's). I wouldn't call that a slump.

About Jaedong reign being over. Well, unless Flash burns out maybe he won't ever be #1 again (he might be able to take the MSL, but I don't see him keeping up with Flash's consistency), but as long as he get's ZvT under control for good he'll still be #2 by a mile.

Dont. Question. That. Damned. ZvT.

He just beat Midas in convincing fashion, 3 of his loses was caused by Baby, without Baby who also had his part of Beating Stork out of the OSL. Remember who he lost to before claiming slump, Jaedong haven't even slumped hard through April. I could claim KTRolster Slump after + Show Spoiler +
they lost to SKT1
but it's not fun cheering for someone who allways wins after all.

Nah, it's just that this time his traditional post-finals "slump" coincided with his traditional april jinx, so everything seemed twice as bad as normal.

lol...i remember seeing a thread about his april jinx but couldn't seem to find it

His ZvT is not bad, it's inconsistent. It can be amazing, like against Leta and Midas last month, but some of the other games he's had lately have just been very unconvincing in comparison.

Flash is just too imba right now, outshining everybody else.

If Jaedong can fix his ZvT, win a game against Flash, he will be back on the top.

Then again, Jaedong never had a "reign". He never achieved total domination. There was Bisu back then and Flash nowadays.

No, he's just in a bit of a slump. Even then, he's pretty convincingly #2.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

He is in kinda slump because of Lee Young Ho I guess but Lee Jaedong stays Jaedong, the best Z player I think. I hope he will try to be closer with FlaSh about KeSPA points (FlaSh is really far away from Jaedong, something like 1000 points).

I think he's got just as much skill as flash but the maps are kinda bad for zerg and stylistically it's much easier for flash to win PL games without as much practice as it is for JD to.
