dunno man,as long as the PvX enigma thread exists no one will take Jaehoon seriously,that said I think Jaehoon has improved 10 fold.
|
must really be a huge jaehoon fan eh? anyway, nice work! :D
|
Thanks for making this thread.
|
I suppose today's game spurred this?
I'm right behind ya.
In all seriousness, if Jaehoon can keep his cool, he gets dam good.
|
That all being said, I think we should import the PvX enigma thread into this one. Like, I mean, some ppl like myself appreciate Jaehoon for some of his hilarious fails.
Jaehoon rocking it up tho~

Lol, all three of them are retired now
I guess that's what happens when you lose to Jaehoon, it's time to retire...

Then Fantasy should have retired a month ago.

Is Jaehoon still the MBC captain? If he still is then this mental block is going to last a long time

It's hard to tell if it's a mental block or because the whole team is just slumping right now.

I appreciate his poor play on TV bringing me amusement.

I've always loved Jaehoon. Remember when he almost beat Flash in WL? Good times.

more like the comments of that game in that LR thread. the fact people would blindly not recommend that game vs fantasy, I am honestly dumbstruck. he was amazingly aggressive throughout the entire game, starting from even the scouting probe. he virtually shutdown fantasy's vulture harass, pulled some good stasis and recalls. he lost it in the end but it was anything but a roflstomp as those posters would have you believe.

I had such high expectations for Jaehoon when I first started watching broodwar as I had watched Jaedong and Jangbi previously. However, he has consistently brought shame to the Ja- prefix. I will never forgive him for it.

Yea, I guess what intrigues me is you always hear is downright excellent in practice. Then he comes to games and doesn't really perform.
He has been doing better lately as OP noted, though the results are still far from someone who is considered to be very good in practice. That sounds like a well above 50% player to me, and Jaehoon is definitely still not playing at that level.
Drawing on my experiences with golf, it was pretty nerve-wracking to play in front of people at first, but as you go on it justs becomes automatic, and you almost forget about it. Where it really becomes an issue is in really high pressure situations. This is where choking becomes serious, because if you badly screw up at a critical moment then that becomes pretty ingrained, leading to a potentially career damaging cycle (see: Jean Van de Velde). So I guess the question is, has Jaehoon ever had just a crucial moment at which he has choked?
If not, I really don't understand it, he has played a reasonable number of games and really the TV environment should be pretty natural and comfortable for him. I can understand someone choking when they get under the pressure of being in a StarLeague finals, but consistently battling nerves in random proleague games is unusual. I know from my experiences in golf I haven't run into too many players that can play great outside of tournaments but then struggle everytime they are in that tournament setting.

I like sweattoss!! :D im sure he'll have his great moments!
|
I think jaehoon would be soo gosu if he didn't sweat so much. Just calm down seriously. Focus.
|
The first time I heard of Jaehoon, it was when he vs'd Bisu in SPL. All I remember was that Bisu went dt's vs him, and that Jaehoon made some funny faces/reactions when he discovered the DT's. That and he was really sweaty after his game(s).
Though Jaehoon has come a long way since then. He's pretty decent now, and I think he has quite the potential.
this was the game i was referring to:
+ Show Spoiler +
The reaction at 8:48 is funny =)

I will always remember Jaehoon for his hilarious game against firebathero in the OSL.
