It was earlier that year in the Winners' League. FOMOS interview, translated by MrHoon: "Q: One of your toughest moments? What were the other harsh moments for you? A: It was harsh when I was eliminated from both individual leagues last season. I was physically drained when I played against Best in the OGN Starleague. On Wednesday I played the Winner’s League, and the very same night I had to play in the OGN Starleague and the very next day I ended up crashing out of the MSL as well. I think that my current position would have been different had I handled the situation better. They should arrange the schedule so that such a thing does not happen in my opinion. I actually wanted to quit progaming after I dropped out of the MSL (laughs). It wasn’t just the harshness of the defeat; I was worn out by gaming in general. The schedule was just too tough. I was exhausted that I told my manager that I couldn’t go on." He actually won 3 before losing the ace match against Upmagic. In the MSL he got BBS'd in the final game. Maybe he could have defended it, but he actually looked physically drained. I think in a different interview he said that he felt he hadn't been appreciated by the team at the time. | ||

I don't think that's the greatest bet to make. I admit that I don't regard Bisu as a favorite for next season, but he is a very strong player, no doubt. Maps are hardly the only reason why he is doing so well. Bisu's big problem that has led to his slow decline is that he relies too heavily on beating his opponents into submission with superior mechanics. In 2007 that was enough to win Starleagues. In 2011 it isn't. If I were to compare them, I'd say that Jaedong also was similar back then. The big difference is that Jaedong grew out of it. | ||

Indeed. Flash's level of dominance is really stunning when you really look at it. He's won 76% of his games since January 2009. He actually had at least one stretch where he stayed over 80% over the course of a hundred games. He's regularly in the mid-to-high 80s over the course of shorter periods (like now, when he's 83.33% (35 - 7) since the end of last season, or when he hit 2443 Elo and was at 88% (44 - 6) over the previous 50 games). You can see the explosion in his win-rate between the beginning of 2009 (66.18%) and the middle of February 2011 (72.31%). Flash Graph + Show Spoiler + Through Month Wins Losses Games Percentage | ||

Flash Graph + Show Spoiler + Through Month Wins Losses Games Percentage Could you do the same thing (the graph and the monthly-list in spoilers) for Jaedong also. Don't know how much time it would take you, but I would be very curious to see this for him as well. That's such an informative piece of statistics. | ||

As much as I love hard numbers, it's important to note that these kind of statistics only tell so much of the picture. For Flash, the ability to win Starleagues always went hand-in-hand with all around dominating statistics. For Jaedong I think the key has always been his tenacity in Bo5's. | ||
