by popularizing 3 hatch before pool, beating Protoss deathball without swarm hosts but with perfect unit composition and control, popularizing mass larva playstyle and inveting the double hydra den timing.

Guy approached his 30s at his dominance. Nestea is the only person to have done that in almost any esport. He's an exception of the exceptions. Boxer wasn't exactly young when he was good as well, though. Boxer was pretty young when he was considered a bonjwa. Boxer was like in his early to mid 20s when he really hit his bonjwa level.
Nestea was 29 or 30 when he hit his.

I'd take maybe Bunny and Marinelord based off recent play but idk how much further I'd go among foreign terrans. I mean at the end of the day it's still foreign terrans... the weakest pool of players in the overall history of sc2

Also won with a 6pool in ZvZ. he was absolutely NOT the most successful player in 2013 LOL. Also he was god awful in ZvP everyone made fun of him for it until like July or August
6 finals in premier tournaments and 2 more semis. I guess Taeja won more?

Yeah right now there is no doubt about that I agree. But it kinda feels like nobody sees what Jaedong already did in sc2, when for every other player his achievements would be huge.
He also gets way more fan hype based on his legacy for lesser results than most players in sc2. It goes both ways. That particular fact is why I usually cheer against him

mass larva style play was nestea. Multiple players other than Jaeodng used unit comps other than Swarmhosts to beat protoss. And a lot of players used 3 hatch before pool. I don't think there is a definitive answer for whose innovations those were.

You're right and yet I think everybody agrees that his fans expected something more.
Same goes to Flash btw.

Though I wonder how many of those SC2 Jaedong fans were really watching him in BW or just jumping on the hype wagon, same with Flash.

Boxer in SC1? He was 23 or 24. In SC2 he was never that good.

What about the year NaDa's father died and he started slumping? Its doesn't get much worse than that.

It kind of weirds me out that your feelings for a player are affected by his fans haha
I am extremely indiffrent towards Jaedong btw he is before my time.
