It's like when the Dong improves one matchup he drastically regresses in another.
He just swaps JvT and JvP when he tries to focus on other match-up. I am yet to find a player that does not derp in all 3 match-ups.
Most players have a weakest matchup but with Dong it becomes TOO weak. Like top players would have maybe a 40% win rate in their weakest at the very worst.
Dong would never exhibit such weakness in BW, he was strong enough in every matchup to be capable of winning a final in it.

Try DRG's ZvZ now.... Or Soulkey's vT (that is his statistically weakest match-up now lol due to hitting Inno all the time, if we do not count his derps at qualifiers).
BW was a game, where insane (that JD surely has) mechanics alone could carry you until the highest level. Combine it with some coach-assistance in preparation and Boom.

Soulkey's weakest matchup is Innovation, DRG hasn't been near a finals in a long time. It's remarkable to me that Dong was able to ride to 4 finals appearances in a very short succession of time, with one or two matchups being so much stronger than the others.

DRG looks pretty strong in ZvP and ZvT, yet he looks lost in ZvZ imo(hell, he would go into Code B, if he got that 3 zerg group in Ro32 and some zerg in Ro48 of Code A). Soulkey's weakest matchup is lack of preparation (and since you cannot really prepare for really good terran and got to outplay him mechanically, he does not really command a high winrate in it, though he can easily stomp most of terrans there are). But yes, JD is like example from Metric system. EDIT: I wonder why Alicia opts for Blink all-ins so often lately :O

All of the maps he plays on are especially good for blink all-ins.
Just quickly want to say a massive kudos to Incontrol and EG for putting all that they have into the SC2L. Obviously it's not as big as a 'NA Proleague' YET, but to actually stick with this sort of thing, pour your casting and organizing into this week after week regardless of the views, is a great thing to see in the NA SC2 scene.
Please keep up your fantastic casting and dedication, Incontrol! Let's do like the NASL did and grow this thing into a respected and loved NA tournament.
What is this thing with a nice LR thread? No whining, no bashing or "SC2 is dying" yells? And Jazzman88 two posts above me said it all. This is good stuff by EG
EDIT: and no don't listen to the fox song. Just don't.
