just finished my jjakji retrospective! #IMadeThis
+ Show Spoiler +

jjakji

jjakji, the #11 seed, with 3475 WCS Points. Wait what? I've actually seen people wondering how he got so many WCS Points, and even I wasn't sure where he got them all. Before we go into the full retrospective, let's see where he got his points from.
(sorted by points)
750 WCS EU Season 1
500 DreamHack Moscow
400 IEM World Championship

375 IEM Sao Paulo
250 IEM Cologne
250 HomeStoryCup 9
250 Gfinity G3

125 DreamHack Bucharest
125 DreamHack Summer
125 IEM Shenzhen
125 DreamHack Stockholm
100 WCS EU Season 2
100 WCS EU Season 3

Good thing he went to so many tournaments, it all adds up, 550 points less and it would've been Snute qualifying instead of jjakji.

Chances January [image loading]

January 4th jjakji qualified for WCS EU on first try, beating Exehn, Markus, Monty, RusZerg, SortOf, losing to Grubby, beating BabyKnight, to start off the year high at ~ 69.5 %.

jjakji played in IEM Sao Paulo from the 30th to February 1st.
On the 30th in the round of 16 he beat WM, lost to Bomber, and beat puCK, going up to ~ 74.4 % Blizzcon Chances.
On the 31st in the quarterfinals he beat Polt 3-0, going up to ~ 84.8 %.
February 1st he lost to MC 1-3 in the semifinals, ending his run with a still strong ~ 73.2 % Blizzcon Chances. Let's count how many times jjakji loses to MC in this retrospective, that's once.

Chances February [image loading]
WCS Points February [image loading]

February 6th, jjakji started his strongest WCS EU season by far this year, beating HappyZerG 3-0 in Challenger, although his Blizzcon Chances actually went down to ~ 69.8 % because of the IEM Cologne player list. His minimum WCS Points is now at 475.

In IEM Cologne, jjakji advanced from his round of 16 group, beating Dear, losing to Patience, and then beating Dear again. The in the quarterfinals he lost to Rain 1-3, ending up at ~ 88.4 % chances on February 16th, and a minimum WCS Points of 725.

In WCS EU Premier league, jjakji won his round of 32 group on the 20th, beating LiveZerg and Nerchio, going up to ~ 99.4 % chaces, and a minimum of 825 WCS Points.

On February 26th I added full year of WCS to the simulation, putting jjakji at ~ 76.2 %, a minimum of 975 WCS Points, and a median of 2275.

Chances March [image loading]
WCS Points March [image loading]

In the IEM World Championships, on March 14th, jjakji beat Revival 3-2 in the round of 16 with a crazy comeback win. Maybe this will jog your memory.

This put jjakji at ~ 92.2 %.
On March 15th jjakji lost in the quarterfinals to sOs 0-3, putting him at ~ 86.6 %, with a minimum of 1375 WCS Points, and a median of 2575.

On March 26th jjakji continued his best run in WCS EU, beating Grubby, losing to Snute, and then beating Dayshi in his round of 16 group, going up to ~ 91.5 % Blizzcon Chances, and a minimum WCS Points of 1675, and a median of 2725.

Chances April [image loading]
WCS Points April [image loading]

On April 6th I added the GSL Global Championship and 5 DreamHacks, putting jjakji at ~ 86.1 %.

On April 10th in WCS EU, jjakji beat Vortix in the quarterfinals 3-0, going up to ~ 96.1 %.
On April 12th, he lost to MC (2nd time) 1-3 in the semifinals, ending at ~ 90.4 %, a minimum WCS Points of 1925, and a median of 2800.

On April 15th I added Copenhagen Games Spring and the 5 Placeholder tournaments, bringing his chances to ~ 89.1 %.

In DreamHack Bucharest on April 26th, jjakji advanced to the playoffs after beating DaZe, TLO, then losing to uThermal, beating Serral, and then beating uThermal for revenge. This put jjakji at ~ 95.5 %.
The next day, jjakji lost in the round of 16 to StarDust 1-2, putting him at ~ 91.5 %, 2050 minimum WCS Points, and 2975 median WCS Points.

Chances May [image loading]
WCS Points May [image loading]

In May, jjakji lost a ton of chances, first losing on the 20th in his WCS EU round of 32 group against Harstem and Yoda, going down to ~ 72.1 %, then because of the addition of the KeSPA Cup on the 23rd which he just missed out on due to his loss, putting him down to ~ 64.4 %. Going from the ~ 91.5 % we saw earlier, that's a loss of 27.1 %.
May wasn't all bad for him though. With the addition of the HomeStory Cup 9 and DreaHack Summer player lists he went back up to ~ 83.5 %, with a minimum of 2050 WCS Points and a median of 3000.

Chances June [image loading]
WCS Points June [image loading]

HomeStory Cup 9 started on June 5th, where jjakji won his round of 32 group over HeRoMaRinE and TargA, going up to ~ 84.9 %.
On the 7th he won his round of 16 group over MaNa and Armani, going up to ~ 91.2 %.
And on the 8th he lost in the quarterfinals to MC (3rd time) 0-3 this time, putting him at ~ 87.1 %, aminimum WCS Points of 2300, and a median of 2950.

On June 14th and 15th in DreamHack Summer, jjakji advanced to the playoffs after beating Avokado, MarineLorD, Dayshi, and Snute, putting him at ~ 84.7 %.
On the 15th he lost in the round of 16 to MaNa 0-2, finishing at ~ 81.9 %, a minimum WCS Points of 2425, and a median of 2875.

Chances July [image loading]
WCS Points July [image loading]

On July 16th in IEM Shenzhen, jjakji played in the open bracket, beating Vaisravana, Check, and TRUE, going up to ~ 94.9 %.
On the 17th in the round of 16 group he lost to Zest, beat Illusion, and then lost to San, going down to ~ 89.8 % chances.

July 29th, he beat HeRoMaRinE 3-0 to get back into WCS EU Premier, going up to ~ 95.2 %, with a minimum WCS Points of 2600, and a median of 3400.

Chances August [image loading]
WCS Points August [image loading]

On August 2nd in Gfinity G3, in the round of 12 group he lost to Snute and beat Grubby, which was enough to advance from the 3 player group.
Then on the 3rd he lost in the quarterfinals to MC (4th time) 1-2, putting him at ~ 96.5 %, with a minimum of 2850 WCS Points, and a median of 3250.

Chances September [image loading]
WCS Points September [image loading]

On September 3rd, jjakji lost his WCS EU round of 32 group to Harstem and Vortix, leaving him with only 2 DreamHacks to get points from. This put him at ~ 72.6 %, with a minimum of 2850 WCS Points, and a median at the same 2850 points, which would've been 75 points short of making it to the WCS Global Finals.

On the 11th, jjakji's chances went down a bit as Classic and sOs won their matches. If both Classic and sOs had both qualified for Blizzcon then jjakji could've been knocked out considering he only had 2850 WCS Points at the time.

sep 13-14 dh moscow
On the 13th jjakji advanced to the DreamHack Moscow playoffs beating Rose, KpeHgeJlb, Revolver, and MMA 2-1, going up to ~ 91.9 %, and a minimum of 2975 WCS Points, which we know now would've been 50 more points than Snute and thus enough to qualify for Blizzcon.
On the 14th he beat First 2-0 in the round of 16, in the quarterfinals he beat Happy 2-1, in the semifinals he beat TRUE 2-0, and then in the finals he lost to MMA 1-3 for a 2nd place. This put him at ~ 99.99 %, with a minimum of 3350 WCS Points, enough for the #12 seed, and a median of 3475 points which is actually where he ended up.

In DreamHack Stockholm, jjakji was pretty much just playing for money and bonus points for seeding, already being at ~ 99.99 %.
On the 26th he advanced to the playoffs beating Autumn, YoDa, SpaceMarine, and Snute.
The on the 27th he lost in the round of 16 to Patience 0-2, enough to get an extra 125 WCS Points, securing him ~ 100 % chances, and his final WCS Points of 3465.

So we see that jjakji made his run to Blizzcon not with a spectacular championship, but with consistency and lots of plane tickets. It wasn't the most comfortable qualification, dropping below 70% in January, February, May, and September, but he made it.

Come back tomorrow for the next retrospective!

Here are the chances and WCS Points graphs in super-wide form for the full year.

I was gonna add better pics of the players, change the order, and see if I could make one that allowed for all 16 players to have pictures (though that would be nearly impossible to win)

Cool retrospective. The intro is pretty spot on. I had no clue about how Jjakji or for that matter Jaedong found the points to go to Blizzcon. Also isn't that hashtag only for videos or am I mistaken?

On April 12th, he lost to MC (2nd time) 1-3 in the semifinals, ending at ~ 90.4 %, a minimum WCS Points of 1925, and a median of 2800.

On April 15th I added Copenhagen Games Spring and the 5 Placeholder tournaments, bringing his chances to ~ 89.1 %.

In DreamHack Bucharest on April 26th, jjakji advanced to the playoffs after beating DaZe, TLO, then losing to uThermal, beating Serral, and then beating uThermal for revenge. This put jjakji at ~ 95.5 %.
The next day, jjakji lost in the round of 16 to StarDust 1-2, putting him at ~ 91.5 %, 2050 minimum WCS Points, and 2975 median WCS Points.

Chances May [image loading]
WCS Points May [image loading]

In May, jjakji lost a ton of chances, first losing on the 20th in his WCS EU round of 32 group against Harstem and Yoda, going down to ~ 72.1 %, then because of the addition of the KeSPA Cup on the 23rd which he just missed out on due to his loss, putting him down to ~ 64.4 %. Going from the ~ 91.5 % we saw earlier, that's a loss of 27.1 %.
May wasn't all bad for him though. With the addition of the HomeStory Cup 9 and DreaHack Summer player lists he went back up to ~ 83.5 %, with a minimum of 2050 WCS Points and a median of 3000.

Chances June [image loading]
WCS Points June [image loading]

HomeStory Cup 9 started on June 5th, where jjakji won his round of 32 group over HeRoMaRinE and TargA, going up to ~ 84.9 %.
On the 7th he won his round of 16 group over MaNa and Armani, going up to ~ 91.2 %.

On the 15th he lost in the round of 16 to MaNa 0-2, finishing at ~ 81.9 %, a minimum WCS Points of 2425, and a median of 2875.

Chances August [image loading]
WCS Points August [image loading]

On August 2nd in Gfinity G3, in the round of 12 group he lost to Snute and beat Grubby, which was enough to advance from the 3 player group.
Then on the 3rd he lost in the quarterfinals to MC (4th time) 1-2, putting him at ~ 96.5 %, with a minimum of 2850 WCS Points, and a median of 3250.

Chances September [image loading]
WCS Points September [image loading]

On September 3rd, jjakji lost his WCS EU round of 32 group to Harstem and Vortix, leaving him with only 2 DreamHacks to get points from. This put him at ~ 72.6 %, with a minimum of 2850 WCS Points, and a median at the same 2850 points, which would've been 75 points short of making it to the WCS Global Finals.

On the 11th, jjakji's chances went down a bit as Classic and sOs won their matches. If both Classic and sOs had both qualified for Blizzcon then jjakji could've been knocked out considering he only had 2850 WCS Points at the time.

sep 13-14 dh moscow
On the 13th jjakji advanced to the DreamHack Moscow playoffs beating Rose, KpeHgeJlb, Revolver, and MMA 2-1, going up to ~ 91.9 %, and a minimum of 2975 WCS Points, which we know now would've been 50 more points than Snute and thus enough to qualify for Blizzcon.
On the 14th he beat First 2-0 in the round of 16, in the quarterfinals he beat Happy 2-1, in the semifinals he beat TRUE 2-0, and then in the finals he lost to MMA 1-3 for a 2nd place. This put him at ~ 99.99 %, with a minimum of 3350 WCS Points, enough for the #12 seed, and a median of 3475 points which is actually where he ended up.

In DreamHack Stockholm, jjakji was pretty much just playing for money and bonus points for seeding, already being at ~ 99.99 %.
On the 26th he advanced to the playoffs beating Autumn, YoDa, SpaceMarine, and Snute.
The on the 27th he lost in the round of 16 to Patience 0-2, enough to get an extra 125 WCS Points, securing him ~ 100 % chances, and his final WCS Points of 3465.

So we see that jjakji made his run to Blizzcon not with a spectacular championship, but with consistency and lots of plane tickets. It wasn't the most comfortable qualification, dropping below 70% in January, February, May, and September, but he made it.

Come back tomorrow for the next retrospective!

Here are the chances and WCS Points graphs in super-wide form for the full year.

And here's jjakji's page where you can zoom the graphs as you please http://sc2.4ever.tv/?page=player&player_id=29


Cool retrospective. The intro is pretty spot on. I had no clue about how Jjakji or for that matter Jaedong found the points to go to Blizzcon. Also isn't that hashtag only for videos or am I mistaken?

thanks

The first paragraph of my fanfic, don't know if I'm gonna finish though since I don't really know where to go with it...

+ Show Spoiler +
Up and down, up and down. The bar moved in steady rhythm, but the man below it had his mind in another place. He couldn't focus on the bar above, he could barely remember to count as he pushed upwords. After a few more motions, the man placed the bar back in its holder, and sat up in a swift motion and stepped away from the bench. Joo Sung Wook was not thinking about the workout, or his reps and gains, but about the match that was to come the next day. He was used to the pressure of competition, he was no stranger to its crushing weight and overbearing effect, but he had to overcome. He knew he was stronger enough for it, both physically and mentally. It, of course, would be difficult, but he was ready. And he knew he had the advantage going in, for he had already conquered his life, why shouldn’t he be able to do the same to one of the same name? Tired, but strangely energized from the workout, KT.Zest walked out of the gym and returned to the hotel room. Tomorrow was day one, and he needed his sleep.

Polt's Theme and Lyrics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65KZIqay4E


If tomorrow all the players were gone
That I'd cheered for every year
And I had to start again
With just the twitch stream and a beer

I'd thank my lucky stars
To be watching here today
Cause Polt still stands for freedom
And they won't sweep him away

And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I've got Seong Hun -
And I won't forget to watch the stream
Till he's the number one

And I gladly stand up, spam TL
And defend him still today
Cause there ain't no doubt that Polt will win
God Bless the USA!

From the stage in California
To the laggy Chinese streams
Across the EU server
Polt will lead his one-man team and no revival doesn't count

We'll all congregate at Blizzcon
And watch from downtown LA
Where there's pride in every American heart -
It's time we stand and say

And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I've got Seong Hun -
And I won't forget to watch the stream
Till he's the number one

And I gladly stand up, spam TL
And defend him still today
Cause there ain't no doubt that Polt will win
God Bless the USA!

And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I've got Seong Hun -
And I won't forget to watch the stream
Till he's the number one

And I gladly stand up... spam TL
And defend him still today
Cause there ain't no doubt that Polt will win
God Bless the USA!

Yeah really. We are the ones who hold down the fort.

Not like I can talk, I've been going full Wintex and playing WoW in my free time today

Am I the only person here who actually plays sc2 when I feel like gaming? TT

I play a fair amount when I'm not playing on my ps4. My zerg is pretty good.

Are there even good games on the ps4 yet?
What league are you with zerg? (and how can you play sc2 over BW !?!?!)
I won't tell the guys in the BW forum though!

Destiny, last of us remastered, pixel junkie, transistor are all amazing games on ps4. DC universe passed some time too. Check out those first four if u want life to be amazing.

I probably would but I'm working on fan interviews (personalizing is so hard!) and my fanfic

Also, can someone who followed BW fact-check the following statements:
-Zest was not a notable BW player and didn't play any official matches
-HyuN was a notable BW player and played proleague, but didn't ever make any deep starleague runs


Zest did play official matches for PL but not individual leagues afaik. Was only a promising rookie. If you feel like reading how promising he was: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/news-archive/239546-spl-week-4-total-war#wooki

Correct. Zest was an important young protoss for KT back in sc1. After the passing of violet, stats became the #1 toss and zest aka wookie was #2. He had a few important wins and contributed nicely.

Hyun played a fair amount of PL games but never really accomplished anything.

This is much better writing than mine.
Here's a small excerpt from mine. It turns out that when I write pure fiction I am much better at actually typing the story down.

+ Show Spoiler +
"What's the best way to use these these nunchucks and bananas to BM Polt after I beat them?" MC had just defeated herO in a 3-1 series the previous week and was now asking him about ceremonies. herO just shook his head. MC gave up asking him questions and walked over to the main stage to see what was going on over there.

Meanwhile, one of the more rabid TaeJa fans had arrived early to Blizzcon to take selfies and get autographs from his favorite players. He was a few hours early, but he wanted to catch TaeJa entering the building… where TaeJa was going to enter from, the fan wasn't sure. He decided to check out the stage before TaeJa arrived.

Polt's Theme and Lyrics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65KZIqay4E

If tomorrow all the players were gone
That I'd cheered for every year
And I had to start again
With just the twitch stream and a beer

I'd thank my lucky stars
To be watching here today
Cause Polt still stands for freedom
And they won't sweep him away

And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I've got Seong Hun -
And I won't forget to watch the stream
Till he's the number one

And I gladly stand up, spam TL
And defend him still today
Cause there ain't no doubt that Polt will win
God Bless the USA!

From the stage in California
To the laggy Chinese streams
Across the EU server
Polt will lead his one-man team and no revival doesn't count

We'll all congregate at Blizzcon
And watch from downtown LA
Where there's pride in every American heart -
It's time we stand and say

And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I've got Seong Hun -
And I won't forget to watch the stream
Till he's the number one

And I gladly stand up, spam TL
And defend him still today
Cause there ain't no doubt that Polt will win
God Bless the USA!

And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I've got Seong Hun -
And I won't forget to watch the stream
Till he's the number one

And I gladly stand up... spam TL
And defend him still today
Cause there ain't no doubt that Polt will win
God Bless the USA!

put the video inside of a quote and then use the hashtag IMadeThis, that way you get proper credit for those awesome lyrics, but don't get the unfair 3000 points for the video


I say if he sings it himself to the music then puts it up then he gets all the points.

absolutely

Makes me wish I could make youtube videos

quit complaining and learn how

Learning the chords atm but I'll get it done.

I'm not drawing Zest tho, I'm focusing all my passion on this instead

Up and down, up and down. The bar moved in steady rhythm, but the man below it had his mind in another place. He couldn't focus on the bar above, he could barely remember to count as he pushed upwords. After a few more motions, the man placed the bar back in its holder, and sat up in a swift motion and stepped away from the bench. Joo Sung Wook was not thinking about the workout, or his reps and gains, but about the match that was to come later that day. He was used to the pressure of competition, he was no stranger to its crushing weight and overbearing effect, but he had to overcome. He knew he was stronger enough for it, both physically and mentally. It, of course, would be difficult, but he was ready. And he knew he had the advantage going in, for he had already conquered his life, why shouldn’t he be able to do the same to one of the same name? Tired, but strangely energized from the workout, KT.Zest walked out of the gym and returned to the hotel room. Tomorrow was day one, and he needed his sleep.

that was really good, we need more!


Meh, it's not great. I just realized I said the match was both later that day and tomorrow...
