EPTIn either case, stay the course Jaedong. Don't care about what the people say and find the killer instinct again. In due time you will get over the hurdle. Just focus on yourself.

I think he was the first player that I've seen able to fight zerg's SH, Corrupter, Infestor, Viper and mass static style, head on and win against it using perfect mechanics. And he did it against Soulkey to boot. Man, I miss JangBi  | ||

Man, I miss JangBi Yeah his retirement actually surprised the hell out of me because he was doing good and was in code S still and everything then BAM he retired. I was shocked by that one. | ||

Here's the series. Jaedong went against Gumiho and Artosis and Apollo both talked about how Gumiho is a strong player and Jaedong has little chance. In that series, there wasn't much caster bias (just some history lessons but they didn't hype Jaedong to overtake Gumiho or anything) but there were still loud cheers for Jaedong. I even said it here that I was surprised. (I mention that because I didn't get much caster bias or anything for Jaedong that would seem to sway it to Jaedong that much. I was genuinely surprised for the loud cheers for Jaedong at that tournament.) One of the reasons why there is much fan support for Jaedong is that he's a legend from BW that is still playing and doing well in SC2. During the MLG KeSPA invitational (before the players actually switched to SC2), there were loud cheers all around for the players. Not only that, he had four second places in the same year. When you have that many second places in a row, there's a storyline in the making and fans want to see that player win. For MKP (for example) was a huge fan favorite during late 2010 and early 2011 (and after 2010, MKP is one of the players Tastosis rarely hyped up back then). There was caster hype when he took out FruitDealer and (and to be fair, it also helped that his ID was Boxer back then too, making him stand out even more). Though even after he changed his ID and even after (starting with 2011) the caster hype (sometimes the opposite) stopped from Tastosis, he was still a huge fan favorite. Three second places in three GSLs. People wanted to see MKP win at least one tournament. There's a potential story in the making. So when you have Jaedong who is not only a legend from BW but also someone with four second places in the same year, there would be probably be still as much hype even without any help from casters. | ||
