Either Taeja vs First or Taeja vs Jaedong would arguably be 4 - 0's for Taeja.

Oh, and here's a better picture of First

2nd Edit:

Okay I'd like to correct myself. Apparently the last time TaeJa and Jaedong played each other (Dreamhack) Jaedong won 2 - 0

Yay currently playing that game so I recognized him :D

People are really sleeping on First. I understand he's nowhere near as big a name as Jaedong, nor is he a longtime fan favorite like Bomber or a teamliquid player like Taeja, but in terms of actual Starcraft skill he should not be underestimated. He's LG-IM's best Protoss, and given that they have arguably the most stacked Protoss lineup of any team, that's pretty impressive. I think he's got as good a chance to win this as any of the more well known players.

I think people are confused he still is. It's more of a "lease" for EG then an actual acquirement.

I assume you mean "loan," which was what the Korean news sites were trying to pass it off as. This has been refuted by EG management. JD's not on loan, and he's not bound by contract to return to T8 now that they have a sponsor. He's an EG player, same as any other EG player, and he'll join or not join a KeSPA team in the future based on his own wishes.

EDIT: Just saw the DES article you were talking about where they refer to it as a "lease," which clarifies what you're talking about. It seems he is still legally bound to KeSPA. Still, calling him a KeSPA player "by legalities only" makes pretty much no sense in any context.

This final four is so good


Alive should have beaten First if he didn't make any mistakes. Also, coming from USA, Alive was very very jetlagged, unlike First. That also played a huge role.

Alive actually should have 3-0'd First being the more experienced and much more talented player, not to take anything away from First, but he just got lucky alive is a choker and was jet lagged.

And Naniwa made way WAY too many mistakes against Jaedong. I don't think JD's ZvP improved at all, it's just that his Protoss opponents made way too many mistakes. Rain, let's not even talk about him, and MC? Well first off he failed his all ins from micro mistakes and secondly he did Masters mistakes like forgetting the zealot at the hole.

tl;dr...alive is better than first, and naniwa, mc and rain are all better than JD, they just made mistakes.

This final four is so good


Alive should have beaten First if he didn't make any mistakes. Also, coming from USA, Alive was very very jetlagged, unlike First. That also played a huge role.

Alive actually should have 3-0'd First being the more experienced and much more talented player, not to take anything away from First, but he just got lucky alive is a choker and was jet lagged.

And Naniwa made way WAY too many mistakes against Jaedong. I don't think JD's ZvP improved at all, it's just that his Protoss opponents made way too many mistakes. Rain, let's not even talk about him, and MC? Well first off he failed his all ins from micro mistakes and secondly he did Masters mistakes like forgetting the zealot at the hole.

tl;dr...alive is better than first, and naniwa, mc and rain are all better than JD, they just made mistakes.

First came from Korea. They probably both came from Korea.

I want a Taeja vs Jaedong finals. Not only for the TL vs EG rivalry, but mostly because it means that Taeja will have fought all of the Kespa 'gods' of their respective race: Innovation, Rain and Jaedong. Toughest road out of anyone o.O

Soulkey**

JD is still not the Kespa 'God' of zerg .. he is playing really well but not at the top .. soulkey still at the top in terms of zvt

He's not even KeSPA anymore ...


I think people are confused he still is. It's more of a "lease" for EG then an actual acquirement.

I assume you mean "loan," which was what the Korean news sites were trying to pass it off as. This has been refuted by EG management. JD's not on loan, and he's not bound by contract to return to T8 now that they have a sponsor. He's an EG player, same as any other EG player, and he'll join or not join a KeSPA team in the future based on his own wishes.


I thought it was not possible to require a player because of the trade lock period by kespa, but alright i guess i stand corrected on that.
Did he just not have a contract with T8 ? Or was the trade lock only there for eSF and kespa.
