Impressive or not, Jaedong walked the Royal Road and played impressively.

Awesome article!

The only thing I'd say marred jaedong's osl victory was the relative ease of his bracket and most of all the map pool. He cruised through an all-terran left bracket on a mind-numbing set of maps. He lost twice to Stork on Persona. Although he stepped up games 2-4, Jaedong's still not quite proven himself yet, and he's still miles behind Maestro in opinion polls.
...

You can't count his bracket against him. Yes, Light-Hwasin-Bisu would've been harder, but it's not LJD's fault that Hwasin and Bisu couldn't take care of business.

Savior may have had a harder road if GoRush beat Much, and GGPlay would've had a harder road if he had to play Bisu instead of Flash.

You can't fault a player for someone else's inability to win. Up and Stork earned their places.

Plus we get to see JD play Bisu in the MSL soon


I don't think that saying an easy bracket marred JD's victory implies any fault of JD. It's more like saying that if we had to rank the prestige of the winner of every OSL thus far, JD's victory might be on the bottom half of the ranking (Royal Road is the only thing giving him a chance). Certainly JD is not to blame for not proving everything in one season of the OSL but we should be careful to track how much he actually has proven.

On another topic, I can't wait to see how many tl.netters draw hard conclusions based on the upcoming Bisu/JD meeting in the MSL. Kids these days...

You will not rest on your throne JaeDong, you will always have that uneasy feeling that you know the inevitable truth, the return of a legend, the return of a god, sAviOrs second coming.

Gods don't die, they just get pissed.

Without doubt this is the best article I have read so far in TL. Great way to sum up all the emotions and I loved the comparison between the players and the Russian Winter.
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

Hot_Bid! 10//10 Article.

I have nothing to comment about because I have seen it a couple of times now, Casy, GGPlay, Iris, etc. Could Jaedong be another one time wonder? Specially with ZvP being his weakest and Bisu on the way with the best PvZ ever witnessed in the 10 year history of BW?

So I will make no comment until I see more...I do not feel knowledgeable enough in bw history to talk about Jaedong's future.
