Ok, I think he wasn't favored to win against Flash in the pre-hybrid Proleague as early as this may:

I think annoying elitists would argue that given the relative match-up strengths at the time, JD shouldn't have been favored against against Hydra at the PDPop MSL semis (February 2011), but popular opinion probably favored him by a lot.
Flash had a slight edge when JD faced off against him in the Korean Air OSL S2 finals, but ridiculously JD fandom narrows the margin so it's hard to say he was CLEARLY the underdog (September 2010). Technically, I think this date is the one that stands, and would be the last series Jaedong was not the favorite in. A little short of 2 years.
Going back even further to find series he was CLEARY the underdog in, I'm gonna go with his match vs Much in 2007 OSL Dual Tournament. (April 2007)
Other candidates: vs Sea in Challenge League 2007 (July 2007)

I remember LBing Hydra vs Jaedong, even though Jaedong was still "favored" by most; Hydra had the ZvZ "force" going for him at the time.
I thought Flash had a decent edge in KA OSL S2. But yeah, other than a few questionable cases, he hasn't been a true "underdog" ever since he learned to ZvP vs Stork with his ee han timing at the beginning of 2008.

Does anyone know if GOMtv is charging for the vods for this? I can't stay up for this due to work tomorrow, and Jaedong is playing in the last set T_T
