Going to be pissed if Jaedong throws another game away. I will only tolerate it if he is doing it to send a message to his coach to hire more good players so he doesn't have to hold up the ENTIRE TEAM.

only game hwaseung 'should' lose is hiya vs sea, other than that i think they got the edge here

My predictions:

Jaedong > Light (Easy decision due to the map, but Light is good TvZ)

Lomo < JaeHoon (I think JaeHoon will crush Lomo)

Hiya vs. Sea (Hard to say, both suck pretty bad vs. good to great Terran players, aside from picking up a random win here and there even though Sea has a decent percentage in the match up)

BackHo < Ace (I think it will be a close game)

Jaedong > Sea in Ace match

I think it all depends on whether hiya has a good day or a bad one.

perhaps im underestimating jaehoon, or overrating lomo, though i always thought lomo was a really great player

other than that, you might be totally correct, haven't seen so much of ace, just went with backho because i know he's good.

It's such a pity Jaedong has to carry Oz so much. I mean, it does make his domination more impressive, but I just hope it doesn't burn him out for the individual leagues. He's ridiculously close to being the next bonjwa. Winning OSL or MSL will be the thing that finally convinces everyone. Winning both would just be mind-blowing.

I predict Oz either 3-0 or 3-1. Khan will probably win their match, but the ACE lineup is pretty nice at the same time.

By the way, Anytime is a protoss but you put him as terran :D

Jaedong played 9 professional-level games in 10 days before that. Most players would drop out of leagues, in order to focus on just one, but Jaedong is active in EVERY league right now. GOM/MSL/OSL/Proleague. Worse yet, he's in every single oz proleague match for sure, and also every ace match they have. People have said that top players like Savior didn't even have such a crazy schedule.

He looked a bit off at the start of the stork game, so maybe he's sick, but that was just an awful play. This pretty much sums up Jaedong's position, though:

haha yep. I noticed he's been looking much more tired lately too, similar to how Flash sometimes looks (and has looked in the past -- he's seriously looked like a tired 30 year old before in a 16 year olds body).

Jaedong has a ridiculous amount of pressure on his shoulders too. I mean, not only is he IN every league, he's really expected to win them all too. Kid deserves the best fucking holiday after all of this!

One of the korean casters mentioned during one of his games that he could lose 10 games in a row, and he'd still be #1 rank in KESPA right now. He's on track for player of the year again, best player in proleague, favorite for gom, and easily capable of taking OSL/MSL.

If he succeeds in all, he should retire. I would hate for him to ever end up like sAviOr...

Jaedong gets free stuff when he wins matches.

Play more = win more = free stuff = good

These plays are just so... un-jaedongy... I don't know what his problem is, but he better get his act together.

<< Comment #14 @ 11:13 BST, 7 July 2009 >>

Haha, I tune in and game 2 just ended.

Well, my predictions so far are backward, I don't know what happened to Jaedong but that build by JaeHoon was dumb, he could have won w/o that dumb carrier build. It's easy to get contained PvT on that map but still...

VEDIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You put the wrong matches in the list for Hwaseung vs. MBC

You put:
SC_Zerg Jaedong <Outsider> SC_Terran Light
SC_Terran Lomo <Shades Of Twilight> SC_Protoss Jaehoon
SC_Terran Hiya <Destination> SC_Terran Sea
SC_Protoss BackHo <Neo Medusa> SC_Zerg Ace
nocountry TBD <Heartbreak Ridge> nocountry TBD

It's supposed to be:

SC_Zerg Jaedong <Outsider> SC_Terran Light
SC_Terran Lomo <Shades Of Twilight> SC_Protoss Jaehoon
SC_Protoss BackHo <Destination> SC_Terran Sea
SC_Terran HiyA <Neo Medusa> SC_Zerg Ace
nocountry TBD <Heartbreak Ridge> nocountry TBD

YAY!

Damn, I wasn't expecting for Hwaseungs 3 best players to lose and see their worst player in the lineup win.

In other news, this ACE vs. Samsung match is interesting.

Also, SK Telecom T1 is 1st in Pro League, the SKT1 head coach and his girlfriend/wife were sitting on the sidelines watching.

the jaedong game was.. stunning. cool games to watch overall though, far more entertaining than i expected, really nice.

VODs updated, I forgot to add the last 5 before I watched this movie called Felon, which was pretty good btw.

Not really any recommended games for today, sorry to say.

What about backho vs sea? I recommend that for lol-factor alone.
