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

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) | ||

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. 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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
