But hey Jaedong fans, while he is the Kong right now, when JD FINALLY manages to break that curse, the moment will be something so glorious that you won't have that feeling ever again!

Thanks ESL for this fantastic production!


Your smileys dont make up for your silly comments


sOs is the definition of faceless. Most people didn't know he existed before this tournament. And he cheesed the entire finals. What a joke.


Please never come into an LR thread again


I'm hosting a barcraft and it was dead silent in here because no one cares about sOs.

I honestly liked his play - it was neat, and some new strats I never expected to see (hidden expansion in a finals, say WHAT!?). But his story is 0.


yall are a bunch of lame haters then. but you're probaby sitting home alone spreading hate on the internet anyways.


I'm not hating! How can you argue that sOs is in any way a fan favorite!? He's maybe top 100 in terms of name recognition.


It's fucking boring if the same players are constantly placing high and winning every tournament. New fan favorites need to emerge for things to stay interesting. Just because he doesn't have a big fanbase now doesn't mean he never will, and it doesn't mean you should make 100 posts in this thread whining about how he's killing esports by not throwing the finals.


Guess what, it's fucking boring when players you don't give a shit about win tournaments too.


How did you start to give a shit about said players, enlighten me?

Faceless Korean takes it!

What a terrible conclusion to WCS.

So besides winning, what does jaedong have over shy in terms of personality?


his legend, his emotions, his fans. when JD wins a match, the crowd reacts way stronger than other players.


Yeah so if you're not a BW legend you can't win a tournament ? Good mentality.

Oh, and sOs was sHy before, and not an unknown at all (and he's been there since the switch, placing consistently high).


Being there all the time yet still being faceless shows just HOW FACELESS sOs actually is... Even aLive is more memorable


Well, I can see his face pretty well, and I remember him since he's entered Code S (he was one of the first Kespa players to do it). The fact you don't remember the guy doesn't mean he's faceless...

Not just me though... there's even a guy hosting a barcraft saying how faceless he is.

Not many people care about him, that doesn't mean he's a bad player, he's great, he just doesn't inspire the amount of fans other players do, he's a lot like aLive except sOs is a far better player

It's nonsensical lol. People have no consistency when it comes to the 'faceless' tag. Flash is hardly a beacon of charisma for one?

Is it playstyle, is it results, is it charisma? Wtf do you have to do to NOT be faceless other than not being a player some butthurt asshole doesn't like?

Hell even posts like 'shame Dear didn't do it, he's much better than sOs' when the latter is a paragon of wackiness and improvisation, and the former is the definition of a really solid Protoss player?

I honestly have no idea, it's just some strange quality some people have that no matter what they do they can't draw any significant attention, while others just stand there and gather all of it. It just happens.

sOs seems to be that kind of person. I don't think that's going to change no matter how many wins he gets, he will be remembered by anyone with interest in Protoss strategies and good play in general, and no one else.

The irony I thought was that SoS played that series like a BW champ. Innovative builds and trickery designed for each map.

Nothing good to come out of this thread now. Congrats again sOs. I hope we get a rematch sometimes! Jaedong is the best zerg there is and he is here to stay! Go win DH Winter and dominate 2014 . The Tyrant lives. Good night guys.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

sOs needs to now justify his win. I hope he stays at the top and becomes the next true best toss. Now like dear a flash in the pan.

In response to everyone saying sOs was the better player on the day (i say this, sOs being my favorite protoss player)

Anybody who saw Jaedong beat Maru on frost should know who was actually the best in skill on the day. sOs played really well too, but a huge part of the finals result was also jaedong's bad luck. i also disagree that he choked


Strategy is part of skill. sOs makes better decisions, JD just has mechanics and reacts well.

I hate sOs winning but his strats seemed tailor-made for each map in PvZ.

People need to stay more in touch with WCS KR!

back to jaekong cleverness: so much kong in that dong, but only one dong is the kong, maybe that's why he was wearing yellow socks.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Grandfinal between Jaedong and sOs is actually a good example of difference between SC BW and SC2. In BW, "hard skill" like micro and macro are all that matters. Hence a good player will be good throughout his career. SC2, on the other hand, somewhat focuses on "soft skill" like mind-game and building hard counter armies, which is much more dicey. So a legendary player in SC2 will not stay in legend for long.

I believe Jaedong had a remarkable year in 2013 in sc2.

Good attitude to keep so they never build a fanbase or a legacy.

We should totally forbid new players entering this scene and just decide that only those who've already won can win the next tournaments.

Yeah, good attitude to be happy of the disappointment of people ... I was about to say that you made me a Flash antifan saying that, but I just don't care of your opinion in the end. I'm just glad TL players got destroyed easily


Much more mature attitude <_>


Yeah I know, sorry, I'm just mad at the hipster antifans. I have nothing against sOs, I think he's a really good player. But why people in this thread spit on JD fans ? I don't understand that

because some JD fans are spitting on everyone else
