He was slumping, but the moment he comes back he can very well be #1 again. Its too early just yet, since he need to keep playing this good. But if he keeps dominating until the new PR comes out, he should be on top. If he doesn't then he shouldn't. He's got nothing to prove compared to Sea or who-ever. Jaedong was THE BEST and only went down rankings coz HE slumped. He doesn't need another OSL or MSL or GOM win. If he plays like he did vs SKT1 every opponent would be an underdog. Whats the point of PR if the best player isn't on top? We just have to wait and see. | ||

For CBNC, I think Pusan, Mind, and Leta are the most obvious choices. SangHo might also be worth considering. | ||

You do realize that jaedong was once the best player on earth right? You realize his potential? Then why argue. He does not have to prove that he can win leagues, coz we know he can. He only has to prove that he is back in shape. I dont say that he's clearly better than Bisu. However im saying that if he's back in shape he is probably better or atleast very close in terms of skills, so for one person to think that he was better would not be wierd at all, maybe just abit biased. Thats why your post was absurd. | ||

After Bisu vs JD @ Andromeda you were nowhere to be seen, but now you are all shitting rainbows. Like all good players Jaedong is capable of winning big games vs any opponent, no matter if he is in slump or not. If his 2 SLs are enough for you and you think his accomplishments are matching his skills, then yes, he has nothing to prove That is it. It becomes very annoying. | ||

was this after he won bisu 2-0 in the arena MSL, and right before he won Much, Free, BeSt and Stork in series from OSL and WCG? I don't see how this can strengthen your post. Again, yes he has to prove that he's back in shape, not that he's capable of winning titles. | ||

By that time bisu was in a slump and won the game, now was JD's time to play against the odds and win Jaedong fans were still all over the place though... anyway i wouldn't put jaedong above Bisu unless he manhandles everyone until next PR, since Bisu has been playing so good lately and has an amazing record in his last like 30 games. Bisu's record looks like flash's in his prime, which is scary. I just can't imagine how anyone could be favourite vs Jaedong if he plays like that... | ||

I would love to see a Jaedong vs Bisu Final. OMG,that would be one of the best finals. | ||

And Bisu played brilliantly, I don't really know how much better he could play. On December 25 2008 17:21 Darth Peter wrote: Jaedong plays Anytime and Kal this week. If he manages to beat both,and win an ace match in one of the matches,I think nobody can deny his strength. So I can't wait for it. Wait, where can you find out the proleague's schedule for the next week? | ||

Some of you make big fuss out of a proleague map, it's insane. | ||

Not to mention, we all know Jaedong tends to lose the first game in a b05, and while that normally allows him to warm up and rape his enemy, that wouldn't be helpful against someone of equal skill. Give him confidence, give him a game, you might lose the series 3-2. | ||

You don't have to beat the best at every MU to be third. On first point, Jaedong will play 2 sets of "play-in" games for MSL and OSL next month. That's all. Meanwhile, the 5 dragons(Kal excluded) will play in Ro8 and higher during the next couple of months. That's my whole argument, that the starleagues move so slow that by the time Jaedong has a chance to redeem himself from his horrible failures of the previous GOM/MSL/OSL, it will be a few months from now. And projecting a player's 2-3 month performance based on a few PL games is ludicrous. On the second point, right now TvZ skills is less important than ZvT skills, due to map balance factor and just general greater number of top terrans as opposed to top zergs. It's for the same reason that Stork and Best can continue to dominate even though their PvZ skills are not impressive at all for a top tier player. | ||

Now now, its hard to make a decision about who would be better when deciding between the best ZvP player and best PvZ player. But past games and history shows that Jaedong is leading currently 4-2 Bisu, so Jaedong should come out on top, if not for just his record, then the psychological advantage he has over Bisu since he's beaten him more often. Its just silly to bring back the "Bisu won on andromeda" when we can just simply bring up their total win/loss records to see who has the advantage | ||
