I think Legend Killer was fitting for a Roya Roader, but now that he's at the top, I'd say Tyrant. As for him dominating everyone - the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
|
I agree, The Tyrant sounds better.
I'm not even a Jaedong fan but I always found the legend killer was sort of... not enough. He deserves more.
|
A year ago Legend Killer was good. Definitely Tyrant now though.
|
I always hated the Legend killer. It didn't really have a purpose either. I mean, all great players have beaten all other great players at one point. Savior has beaten oov, nada, boxer...blah blah blah. If Jaedong had a msl/osl run where he completely totaled a slew of old Bonjwa's or something, then the nickname begins to make sense...but he didn't. So its just stupid, and it sounds awkward to boot.

legend killer is so loosely used, like it was first initially for cloud

The Legend killer sounds really cheesy, Tyrant sounds super badass

Isn't he sometimes referred to as 파괴신? (i.e. the God of Destruction)
I swear I heard some commentators refer to JD as that. Tyrant sounds pretty badass though.

I swear I heard some commentators refer to JD as that. Tyrant sounds pretty badass though. yeah currently there are 2 things 폭군 (tyrant) and 파괴신 (God of Destruction) I remember in the early phase people called him 파괴신 but slowly started to drift to Tyrant.
Isn't it odd how someone as dominant as Jaedong has no real nickname
|
Jaedong will always be the Legend Killer in my mind.
Flash's nick of Ultimate Weapon seems so neutered though right now.
|
|
why wasnt savior the "tyrant" since every1 caleld him hitler.
|
i think everyone called him dictator zerg not tyrant per se. Plus his korean nickname is Maestro, so tyrant was up for grabs.

Legend killer doesn't fit anymore, he IS the undisputed legend of current SC.
|
Tyrant fits better to Jaedong than Legend Killer. -_-
|
I don't like both :/ When Jaedong plays, he looks very focused. Something like cold blooded killer would fit better.
|
I think nicknames are usually first impressions kind of stuff for me regardless of how much your skill level decreases/increases.. for example
iloveoov will always be monster terran even if he sux now
boxer the emperor
jd will be the legend killer for me always
|
I think The Tyrant is a more appropriate name.

Its just that the foreign community slapped another nickname

What, Jaedong has never had a consensus nickname. Some fans absolutely hate the Tyrant/폭군 name. We just have to face the fact there's nothing good to call him for now
|
Well at the very least we should put "the tyrant" as one of his nicknames on TLPD. Unless its already there...?
|
The Legend Killer reminds me of Randy Orton haha.

I've always thought of him as the Tyrant ever since that "interview over wine" thing when the hosts asked him how he liked that nickname. He acted kind of embarrassed but you can't deny that Legend Killer is a pretty weak nickname for a player of his calibur.
|
Yeahhh, it seems that The Legend Killer is something too specific for a player as good as he.
When I think "Legend Killer" I think of someone who is consistently beating people he shouldn't out of nowhere. Now it's to the point where I assume Jaedong will win 70% of matches, so it really doesn't make sense. Sure he's still killing legends, but he's not quite the underdog anymore, he's expected to slay these people now, so why have a nickname for it?
A more generic nickname that can still be used over time makes more sense in my opinion. (Such as Tyrant, Maestro, Emperor, Tushin.. Snottoss, etc.)

Legend Killer is 10 billion times better. It romanticizes the SC scene so much more than "The Tyrant." The Tyrant is more like... someone who just brutalizes players... Not necessarily a consistent winner like Jaedong.

I think Tyrant fits better.. He killed the legends to ge to the top. Now that he's at the top he's just dominating everything

Because savior is the Maestro. And it was Matler i think..
|
I prefer Tyrant, Legend Killer should be used for someone that is perennial underdog but always manages to upset the "Legend". Jaedong is the favorite in pretty much any game so Tyrant suits him better.
|
|
Actually Jaedong sounds cool imo :D
|
Iono, Tyrant fits because he beats everyone, but that has a negative connotation that doesn't really suit him. Except to Jaedong-haters....And Legend Killer used to fit, not anymore, like everyone's said already.
So neither?
|
God of Destruction was always my favourite nickname for him.
|
I dont see how just because hes a legend he cant be legend killer, I mean there are other "legends" in sc.

The Tyrant is like making your SC nickname TwistedKiller (hi Erwin ).

However since oneother already put Tyrant on Jaedong's profile page this really doesn't matter anymore
