He doesn't deserve #5 or even a spot on the rankings Win percentage only tells so much, especially when it's only 5 games played. And Soulkey was absolutely amazing in their matches. | ||

I'd probably still favour Flash in a Bo5, but I haven't feared anyone (from a Flash-fan perspective) like I fear the Dong right now for a really long time. I feel so happy that JD is back at the top. He's the type of person who feeds on winning, and during the last year Flash basically made him his Yellow. It must've been quite depressing for him. Then he had a pretty rough winter and I was on the verge of thinking his era was kinda coming to an end. Fail by me.  He's so much stronger than that. Can't wait for the incoming Flash vs JD final.  JD hwaiting! I was thinking so too. I mean most progamers don't stay at their dominate form for very long and jaedong's been dominant for 3 years I think? (I don't know for sure so don't crucify me). After his 2010 he just wasn't looking as strong, and I was pretty sure he was going to keep falling. Boy do I feel dumb doubting him ^_^. Don't know how he does it, but he somehow always comes back stronger then ever :D | ||

Maybe that's just Bisu's fault though. His new build wasn't around when JD was dominating. | ||

His ZvZ is basically the same as always and his ZvP hasn't shown up enough to really see if he's stepped it up from earlier this year (in his past 20 games he's only faced P 3 times, and 2 of those games boiled down to timing attacks). I don't doubt his (projected) #1 position is looking well earned right now, but I don't really think we should say that he's looking "stronger than ever." Compared to late 09/early 10 when his ZvP was looking basically unbeatable... at the very least let's see him sustain this forum for a couple months before we say "stronger than ever." JD at the moment is having the strongest ZvT of any player any time in the history of the game. He has now reached a location where no zerg has gone before, pushed the boundaries of what was thought as possible. | ||

crazy game usually u expect jaedong to present some skill in any game but his last zvt's are more and more if not even surpassed his glory days of 2008 and back than he was relying on muta micro, now its just late game tech with crazy macro and micro . 200th win in proleague while beating 5/5 terrans this month: fantasy, sea, flash, reality and baby breaking his elo record. morality is right by saying he isnt in his best shape but in zvt i got all the confimation i needed jaedong number 1 !!!!! | ||

He's been doing spectacularly against T for awhile now - since last September he's won 73.91% of the 23 vT games he's played (better than the 63% of 22 vP games, or 71.88% of the 33 vZ games). And since 2011 started, he's won 83% of his vT games with a 15 - 3 record. I remember someone mentioning once how Jaedong occasionally seems to figure out a match-up for awhile (e.g. in 2010 when he won 78% of his vP games, with losses only to Kal (1), Stork (4), and Bisu (1)); perhaps something has clicked for him vT. Here's hoping he can break 2300 vT ELO. | ||

More interesting is who has or had the strongest PvT and PvP. You'd think it ought to be Stork, and right now, but you never quite know where you have the guy. | ||

Relative to their time of course. Obviously a Zerg player at his peak back in 2006 or 2001 isn't as strong in absolute terms as any A-team progamer today. However, Jaedong has not even yet proved that his current ZvT is at its peak (relative to the competition) right now, let alone better than the past ZvT giants. Yes he's boasting high win percentages lately and his skill set is more well-rounded than ever, hence his consistency when facing strong but not superstar TvZers. But when you get down to it, he's been getting slapped silly by Flash and Light in his most recent battles against them. Group D was the first time he managed to overcome that in a long time now, but no matter how outstandingly awesome JD played, it was just one game. I'd really like to see a series before I jump to any such conclusions. | ||
