Also that post was from the guy who made this thread. So please dont assume I'm one of those idiots who use the word troll whenever they see something they dont like. I agree. Seemed fair calling troll there. Ridiculous to claim JD is about to become a has been. The guy is still incredible. I wouldn't even call it a slump what he's in right now. Slumping is what Bisu is doing. Or what ForGG, BeSt, JangBi have all done. Jaedong not playing up to his usual dominance is like how Flash was after his 08 tear. | ||

Like, fantasy was 5 last month, and then doesn't have very many games at all this last month, but is still in both leagues, and people above him don't perform well...and he drops out entirely. this | ||

However, his play indicates otherwise but we'll have to wait and see. No one else deserved what they got this month - people saying sea doesn't deserve #3 are completely justified in saying that. The issue is no one stepped up and said "oh hey I deserve #3" instead they dropped games and fell out of leagues. Sea and Light got their ranks through everyone else simultaneously sucking. I would be far happier if this rank was just 10 Flashes because thats the only ranking that can be justified. Fair enough ![]() I guess you're right that we can't hold Sea's lack of starleague record against him when all the other top players besides Flash are falling like flies. + Show Spoiler + Now Stork got knocked out of the MSL; talk about jinxing the sponsorship negotiations... | ||

I would have switched Kwanro and free, everything else is acceptable. Also Hwasin deserves to be at least mentioned in CBNC too~ | ||

Its that he is winning the whole thing everytime he makes it to the Ro8 Ro4, but yeah you are right. Once JD enters the Bo5 stage it's over. | ||

July was actually the player for whom the term bonjwa was originally coined (by his fans, of course), but ultimately the bonjwas got recognized as Boxer, NaDa, Oov, Savior. Over a 6 season period, July appeared in the OSL finals 4 times and had strong showings even when he didn't make it that far. Ultimately, Oov was just more "unbeatable." | ||

(i'm not using the B-word here so don't get all riled up, I know how some of you are.) I know JD fans would hate this but personally I think Baby deserves to be above JD, considering how Baby beat JD 3 TIMES IN A ROW. I mean, can ANYONE claim to have a feat like that, apart from, maybe, Flash? Also, he is in stellar form in the individual leagues. As much as I don't like seeing a name like "Baby" high in the progaming world, that little adolescent teen has skills... I wonder how he compares to the original child prodigy Flash? I was hoping Hwasin would be on the CNBC, at the very least. I know it's absolutely nothing new that Hwasin makes the Ro16, but goddamn, it's his 10th consecutive time, he 2-0'd his group. I'd say the only two reliable things right now are the Red Sniper advancing to the Ro16, and Flash winning... Beating Jaedong 3x in a row: fantasy did it. (proleague finals/Bacchus OSL) edit: so did forGG (Arena MSL) so did Hwasin (proleague '08/Arena MSL) - 4x actually so did Casy - 4x actually so did Calm (Avalon MSL) so did Stork (last 4 games) Stork did it again between EVER OSL '07 and proleague '07 so did free (back in the day) - 4x actually final edit: That's all of them on TLPD | ||
