He sure gets a lot of publicity for a mid-tier player.


Mid-ter?

Damn if this is considered mid-tier: semi finals dreamhack, finals dreamhack, top 8 MLG, and qualifying for WCS premier league (these are his results since the first dreamhack).

Then you must think everyone is a mid-tier player other then the select few players like innovation/soulkey and maybe a few more.


Didn't Jaedong get 2-0ed by a mid master by the name of NrGQuasar? I think alot of people would agree that.he has been dissapointing.


If he did it's not on TLPD which means if this did happen he probably lost in an online qualifier which mid tier foreigners have beaten many good koreans in before, but when it comes down to a lan environment the results are always different. So my point still stands, he has good tournament results, he lacked a bit in proleague, but otherwise did good in everything he's participated in. Does that make him bad? mid tier? Hell no. Is he "omg #1 zerg ever?" no he's not.

I mean you guys all like to say how amazing flash is doing (he's only made ro16 in code S and has done well in proleague and that 1 mlg he got top4) which isn't any better then jaedongs achievements (to be fair he hasn't gone to as many foreign tournaments I know that).

But then I think people just like to hate on jaedong because for some reason it's the "cool" thing to do for god knows why. His zvt/zvz are insanely good and his lacking mu right now is zvp, but that's improving (still pretty bad compared to his other mu's). But I guess people only look at his zvp and say "terrible player" rather then look at him as a whole.

I am definitely done reading this thread the amount of hate jaedong gets that is totally unjustified is so annoying to read.

When I think of something else, something will go here

This article is beyond ridiculous...

When his "contract expires" he "returns to Team 8 and Kespa" but then he can "go wherever he chooses" and Kespa will not "restrict his opportunities".

So, what it actually means is...

Jaedong's contract expires in November, and he'll become a free agent after that. Also, Kespa wants to remind you that they exist.


Pretty much, yeah.

It's kind of funny to see so many people take the obviously Kespa-biased article word for word in that regard. XD

I'm pretty convinced that there's a pretty big jump in zvp ability once you understand the match up to a certain point. Jaedong pretty clearly just doesn't get certain things about zvp which is why he continually makes mistakes, loses games while ahead or dies to two base timings that we just don't expect from a player of Jaedongs pedigree. The mechanics are there, his understanding of the game is continually improving, and right now I'm pretty convinced it's just a matter of time until he's ranked at the very top.

Would the dong have to leave KeSPA in order to join EG without a lease arrangement?
