JD, by far the most successful player across both SC games. FlaSh may have been an unequivocal great in BW, slightly above JD, but JD showed a consistency during 2013 that FlaSh could not parallel.

Can't wait to see him on Afreeca, if he ends up there. Maybe if he shows up, FlaSh won't be 20% higher than everybody else in winrate...

Also, he's so freaking cute

Good luck to whatever Jaedong does in the future, I'm sure he will excel at everything he does with his attitude and discipline. I hope he enjoys the fruits of his labor from the past years. I remember watching this guy play the likes of Stork and Fantasy and just dropping my jaw at some of the moments.

"StarCraft 2 was getting smaller"
At which point did SC2 start loosing popularity in Korea?
With premier BW tournaments coming back Is BW taking over SC2 in Korea or what??

-_- You guys should take out the silly EG. from the title considering he was a player of many teams and his true greatness was defined in Oz. It should be Jaedong and Jaedong period.

Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL article.

Thank you for everything, Jaedong. The greatest Zerg in StarCraft history.

Lots of Koreans have retired for several reasons and I rather not make a list as people might bitch & moan. Naysayers. There are a lot of variables.

Not surprising but still sad. When I was just getting into BW roughly a year before the sc2 beta, his were the games I watched the most :/

Shame he never recovered his flame from the second half of 2013 in sc2. He started that year being the butt of many jokes, but ended it rivaling Soulkey, soO, and Life as the best Zerg in the world.

soO was irrelevant in 2013 and Life wasn't really dominant either. he was definitely the 2nd best zerg in 2013 behind Soulkey.
