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. | ||

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

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. Lol, who did this happen to? I must see this! | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
