Do you guys think that his reign is over? I know he is still 2nd place on the rankings but he is not as dominate as he once were. Do you guys think it was because of his sickness that he is slumping, new map pool could be imba towards zerg, or metagame has shifted and Jaedong can not adapt? What are your thoughts?

He's still the strongest favourite to win any Starleague if one excludes Flash.

I think he's in that same position of slump that Flash was in a while back where he seems to have lost his luster. But I believe he'll get over it the same way Flash did and be the Tyrant we all know and love ;D

university is just army dodging micro, I highly doubt he's even taking a class


I think it's more like Flash's slump, he'll be back sooner or later

(especially kowing that SC2 doesnt have the same e-sports potential then BW so the leagues are gonna be running for a long long time)

Also don't forget how well he played vs. Flash in the MSL finals, imo even if the whole 'incident' hadn't happened, he would have won.

His ZvT is lacking right now, his ZvP has never been this good in his entire career, and his ZvZ is well, the greatest mu to ever be played.

He'll be fine, and he will take the MSL gold away from Flash again.

His reign as #1 has been over for a few months now.


But he is still the #2 by a rediculously huge margin compared to the rest.

It's a different thing to actually study than just be registered at university.

The only real difference is that someone else (hello Flash) stepped up big time and overshadows Jaedong's still pretty solid play. Although he really did not play too well the last months, he is still 25-15 (62.5%) since the MSL-Finals, which is quite good for a slump.

I also feel JDs reign is different than Flash's now. JD was never truly dominant in the sence that he never lost. He always dropped a few more games than he should have (especially in PL) and sometimes dropped out of leagues early (i.e. MSL Ro32 with Flash, Hwasin and FBH in his group).
Flash is just dominant and basically never loses ever in all three matchups. But still JD was considered the top player for nearly two years, while Flashs dominance is a rather short period of time and lacks a few more titles (which could change very soon)

Nah, it's just that this time his traditional post-finals "slump" coincided with his traditional april jinx, so everything seemed twice as bad as normal.
