So am I just misremembering the past out of nostalgia? It seems to me that back when I started watching StarCraft, someone achieving what seemed impossible was something to be lauded. Now it's an excuse to bitch and whine.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Hero attacked 3 times on a 2base economy against a 3base Zerg, the first 2 attacks failed......and still he managed to win the game by abusing forcefield on a forcefield friendly map and saving his two immortals win warp prism.....Jaedong didnt play bad at all....he stopped 2 attacks.....and still lost....so it seems very unfair to many ppl.....


Easy to ignore the horrible engagement that JD lost the game with I guess?

forcefields destroy the game for anyone but protoss, such a horrible game mechanic

that and time warp


why do you play/watch the game then if that's how you feel? all you do is complain about something you have no control over. You do on the other hand have control of what you watch/play. What do you really get from this? "Oh, it's just the game."

Just like all those guys who think LoL is easy yet they have a hard time finding a really good team to play on. "Oh, it's just because this guy/girl failed to do this and this. Not my fault." Please. I find your kind incredibly annoying. There's a reason why you see a lot of guys coming back to things that they found some success on no matter the game or game design. \('.')/

I know I'm naiive or something idk you can all chew me out now

No, I think he was agreeing with you, as likely does the silent majority.

You can see the hero v jd fans by the polarization of this poll


JD Fan here, voted 5 stars. Not all of us are blind.

To be fair, I'd like to think some people even are not necessarily JD fans but just Zerg players that hate losing in this fashion, as it's not uncommon as a Zerg.

I'm a JD fan but a terran player that hasn't played an SCII game in 2-3 months time now since I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. I think the game was very tense and HerO played really well. It's just disappointing that the first thing I see after not watching SCII for a while is Jaedong losing after almost guaranteeing himself a spot in the finals. I would say the game was 3-4/5 or so.

After watching that game I can't conceivably defend how broken my race is with that strat... completely undeserved win.

poor jaedong, threw that game pretty hard.

Polt's still gonna win the tourney either way.
If you don't like it, you can quit.

One player makes an amazing comeback while the other player makes a few mistakes and a big part of this community is being all negative about it. How about congratulating the winner on a job well done?


Because it is disgusting how jaedong basically held 3 all ins from a protoss that had 2 bases the whole time only to lose on the final push of forcefields/timewarp/immortal basically. It is far more difficult to stop that protoss push for the zerg than it ever is for a protoss to execute it.
JD, need I say more? :D

as a zerg player my first reaction to that last game was outrage, but lets be honest, hero micro'd like a god and jaedong threw away most of his army supply for those 2 gateways... if jaedong just stayed back at home after defending the first allin (or at least pulled out after seeing he cant do damage at hero's nat) and added hydras into the mix, he would have emerged victorious.

The only reason that game was tense was because I support one of the player more then the other. I don't think the actual play was that amazing , it was the 95% expected immortal sentry all-in, which leaves it up to the protoss forcefields to decide the game. I thought the swarmhost game was much better tbh

It is absolutely baffling that JD still has not figured out that zerg is never supposed to be aggressive when ahead, unless you have already won. If he just falls back, makes some drones and masses hydras, hero has zero chance of winning. Again, his over-aggression kills him. And he never learns.

Fuck everything, I'll go drink some battery acid now or something.


Lol. JD is so terrible with his consistent top 4 finishes. He never learns how to play decently. Must be hard to be butthurt all the time.


I'll never understand this devotion that people bring over for JD from BW days.
Lets list all the tournaments JD has won shall we.

Asus ROG
Numericable M-House Cup
HyperX 10 year anniversary.

Its pretty lol worthy to compare him to HerO.

WCS NA S1
NASL S4
DH Winter
DH Winter
IPL Fight club
MLG Summer quals
IPL Season 3 qual 1.
FXOpen Invite

Not to mention that HerO actually plays in PL and Jaedong plays in .. well nothing really. Not even GSTL.
