it's really odd as hell to see that jaedong's almost an underdog, reading the comments lol This quote sums up Jaedong's SC2 career so far. Jaedong @EGJaedong
STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW I'M HERE. He actually wasn't that good when he first switched over, but he's steadily improved. He had to get into WCS Challenger League through qualifiers, work his way up to Premier League, reached Premier League Finals, qualified for Season Finals, and now could possibly win the entire thing. He's recently had a string of second place finishes, though, so him winning this and/or BlizzCon would be really awesome return to the top. Edit: If he wins this, doesn't this make him the first player to have won both a premier BW tournament and a premier SC2 tournament? Yeah, I just checked the entire premier list It actually happaned 6 times that a premier BW tournament winner came second at a premier SC2 tournament: ForGG - September 2012 Dreamhack Valencia: 2-3 Taeja ForGG - November 2012 ESWC 2012: 0-2 MaNa Flash - March 2013 MLG Winter: 2-4 Life Jaedong - June 2013 Dreamhack Summer: 2-3 Stardust Jaedong - July 2013 Dreamhack Valencia: 1-3 Hyun Jaedong - August 2013 WCS AM: 0-4 Polt Now it's time to win one :D
Elephant in the room.

Haha you may be right, all the OSL/MSL/GSL (BW)/WCG winners who are currently playing:
Jaedong, Flash, ForGG, Stork, Effort, Fantasy, Jangbi, Bisu, Mind, Hydra
Only the first three have even come close to winning, with only Jangbi/Fantasy showing any promise to maybe come close. Kinda impressive that they won their first tournament 2007/2008 and are still here today in a different game.
Alright, enough stats, let's get this thing going :D

Well, half of them already are like top-5 (maybe top-3) of their respective race, which is pretty good already.
Jaedong especially is getting better every tournament he enters.

i know i'll get flamed for this but i never followed Brood War so.
who's the fourth "TBLS" guy aside from Flash, Jaedong and Bisu? and why are they called TBLS?
and Flash being top 5 terran is... arguable, but not a sure thing imo. Jaedong for zerg, yeah. Bisu for toss, obviously not.

TBLS=TaekBangLeeSsang = Bisu, Stork, Flash, Jaedong.
Flash can be called top 5 terran IMO. Jaedong yep, Bisu is slowly getting there i hope (or he can switch into terran and try again lol), Stork... sad zealot.

Makes perfect sense. Seriously, i find mech terran in BW and toss in SC2 way too similar. Same with BW toss (especially with Bisu's multitask) and SC2 terran.
