Jaedong in his prime beats anything I've ever seen or am ever likely to see in e-sports. Just the gaze on that kid sent chills down my spine, you could literally see the ridiculous amount of willpower in his expression. I always think of jaedong as a player who doesn't necessarily make the perfect decisions like flash, but when he was at his best it didn't even matter because he'd just get things to work by brute force.

And his style made the games unbelievably exciting. BW definitely wouldn't have been the same without Jaedong, and LeeSsang in particular I guess. Epicness.

I remember watching a PvZ from years ago, might have been against Stats, when Jaedong attacks a protoss force with dragoons,1 archon, 3 sairs and a few HTs with nothing but his muta-ball. And wins. I sat for like 30 seconds just staring at screen, trying to figure out what just happened.

And to my knowledge JD is the only player to make his opponent fall out of his chair in a televised game.

I don't remember who it was, but it was a protoss, he was going reaver/sair and was going to drop in his reavers behind JD's mineral line, and then JD hits an absolutely beautiful scourge counter and pops the shuttle. Net result; protoss player exclaims choice invectives and almost falls to the floor.

Thank you for writing this up. I really hope the legendary bonjwa (and almost-bonjwa!) names all get their proper write-ups in due time. They really need to be known to these new SC2 gamers but its so hard to put what they did into terms SC2 people will understand lol. There's just NOBODY who can come even remotely close to the level of dominance these guys exerted over BW unless I'm sorely misinformed.

How many players (if any) have there ever been that over multiple years (not just 1 month or something) that have achieved a 90% or greater winrate overall (all matchups included) in SC2?

This looks fantastic. I'm going to relive so many memories while reading that tomorrow :')

How to make you understand his greatness? I can seriously say that some of the best moments of my life was watching Jaedong play Brood War.
"To all eSports fans, I want to be remembered as a progamer who can make something out of nothing, and someone who always does his best. I think that is the right way of living, and I'm always doing my best to follow that." - Jaedong. /watch?v=jfghAzJqAp0

I think this game is the prime example of that. This game contains muta micro that (to my knowledge) only Jaedong has ever performed effectively.

I love how "he who shalt not be named" smirks when JD loses his first group of mutas, then blinks in disbelief as JD rapes his teammate using 2 control groups of mutas.

Amazingly enough, this isn't the first or only time he did this. Look at literally any of the Proleague or MSL/OSLs where he faced players like Baby, Iris, Sea, Canata or Leta. Jaedong at the pro level facing nothing but other people who have 70%+ winrates against 100% pros was dominating so much that most Terrans and Protoss couldn't even make it past the muta midgame stage vs him. It wasn't unit imbalance, it wasn't a build difference or a race/ability/spell imbalance, it was just plain old being THAT MUCH BETTER than everyone else in the entire world hands-down no possible contest or upset.

There were quite a few games that Killer (BW Killer, aka "mini-dong" not SC2 south american "Killer") had some very sick muta control since JD was his alpha teacher.
