I'd say his reign is just sidelined since Flash is just a monster. He's still the best zerg ever and the only rival to Flash currently but April is over so we'll see if he picks up his pace again.

Kinda. Obviously Flash has taken the #1 from him.

Jaedong is still Jaedong, but Flash is Flash. If either one of them drops out of a league the other is the huge favorite to win it.

This is my thoughts as well. Can we have Flash go back to protoss please?

I dont think his reign is over at all. His april slump plus his sickness, and everything else, along with Flash's success has made him seem sub-par. But he'll come back and win when it matters like he always does.

Enteritis + Maps + T>Z in general for the moment + People not giving him credit for the blackout MSL gold

He's not slumping.

Bisu on the other hand....

Look at his last two games. Enough said.

He seems to "be in a slump" because relative to the people he's compared to (read Flash), he's not doing as well. Similar to JvZ, I think that other progamers are catching up to his level of play, slowly, but Jaedong's not even close to being in a true slump. More like "I'll give you guys a breather before my next reign of terror."

look when flash came onto the scene EVERYONE knew he was the FUTURE!!! i rememebr watching his 1st games live being like pff little kid gonna get pwned, but the commentator always mentioned that he was a PHENOM in his team.

I think Flash has really come in his own, and Jae Dong is holdin onto his former glory ... Out with teh old in the new I SAY!!

Everything has been said really. His illness and flashes dominance are all factors contributing to him seeming like he is not playing as well.

Jaedong seems weak right now because he just hasn't changed. He's just stuck in the #2 position and after a while of never giving Flash any competition, he seems kinda boring. JD's still doing fairly though. I think Zero might overtake him someday though.

I suppose beating him (despite Power Outage) and outplaying him the last time they met doesn't count as giving Flash any competition?

Zero isn't close to touching JD. He can't win any game that matters.

JD is still the best zerg and the 2nd best player in the world until we see their bo5 in the finals if they both make it there.

You see that Jaedong face last night?
Fucking intense.
