No one says JD is slumping, but Flash is clearly the better player atm. In case I misinterpreted your post, I apologize. JD is playing well, but the difference between Flash and JD statwise is huge, not just significant. JD: 68% winrate; he loses one game for every ~2 he wins Flash: 88% winrate; he loses one game for every ~7 he wins i.e., Flash's performance is about three times better than Jaedong's according to these stats. "win rate" is a very deceptive statistic, since it doesn't corollate linearly with performance. Going from 60 to 70% is good, but it is much much more impressive and difficult to go from 80 to 90%, since you are halving the number of losses. btw, the "wins per loss" stat can be calculated from win% easily: 1/(1 - win%) - 1. It is actually a quite good general-purpose "power" statistic, in that you could say that someone with 2 times this stat is roughly twice as good. It also has nice properties, like that someone with a 50% winrate has "power" 1.0, and all 0-50% winrates fall between 0. and 1.0. tl;dr JD plays 10 games and loses 3; Flash playes 10 games and loses 1.2. This is a huge difference Yeah.. that's fair! compare Flash’s best winrate ever over 100 games vs JD’s overall career stats just after coming out of a slump. You know, why don’t you just compare their league wins: JD has to win 2.5 SL’s for every one that Flash wins. Do you know how difficult that is?! You can roughly say that JD is three times better than Flash! I’m ofc being sarcastic, JD has a long long way to go to catch up to Flash right now. But that’s not a reason to post stats like that. Yeah the stats he used was abit misleading, however the point he was making was legit. This year Jaedong has 70% and Flash 80%. The point is saying jaedong has 40wins and 50wins isn't doing the players justice. | ||

But that’s not a reason to post stats like that. rofl seriously wtf If were gonna go with career win rate then its JD 68% vs flash 71%. Not as much of a difference now is it. Maybe I should just take the last 8 games JD played "OMG JAEDONG 100% win rate >>>> Flash 71% win rate" He just compared their PL win rates.... hm ok I fail then T_T figured he was talking about career win rate because thats 68% as well. still you can change the numbers of games to review and they will probably in any case make the difference between jaedong and flash smaller than the 68 to 88% And to say that Flash is "3 times better" than jaedong because he loses a third of the games is pretty stupid imo. | ||

Gee, I like most of your posts, SuperArc, but when I saw "EvZ" I had the same reaction. Given at a time when Jaedong had an over-80% career win-rate in a match-up that seemed to be luck-based for everyone else, "JvZ" was a title of transcendence, implying that Jaedong's ZvZ was so different from everyone else's that it deserved to be in a category of its own. Once you start tossing phrases like that around lightly, you cheapen them. Effort's little win-streak does not remotely warrant a title such as "EvZ", and what's more, if it did, then we should just stop using those terms altogether and say that nowadays players have gotten better at the match-up. | ||

I wanted to point out the unreasonable expectations people have of JD and it brings the Flash fangirls out of the woodwork as if I had blasphemed their hero. Stop reading between the lines everytime. Sometimes what a line means is all it says. People considered Jaedong slumping, which he did for a few months. From february to mid march he had about 50% winratio, thats why. Now people don't think he's slumping anymore. He's back. and he's #2 on PR. So whats the point of poiting it out now? And if your name is WWJDD and you call other people "Flash fangirls" don't expect to be taken seriously. | ||

The term "EvZ" came from when EffOrt was playing at 70% win percentage (Jaedong was playing at 80% at the time) and he had a vastly different style than JD. While Jaedong usually tried to play even or gain an advantage with zerglings, EffOrt played significantly more aggressively with his zerglings, and often sought to end the game with them. EffOrt rarely kept one army together and played with a ton of single/double ling harass and scouting. Jaedong beat you with fundamentals, EffOrt beat you with multi-tasking. Both had/have excellent ZvZ decision making. The typical EffOrt ZvZ is probably a twelve hatch into mass lings, and then mutas to clean up. Now that EffOrt is playing up to his prior ZvZ standards, it's probably legit to dust off the term again. | ||

80% is vastly superior to 70% and 70% winratio imo doesn't merrit such a title. But in the end it doesn't really matter to me, people will use terms loosely wether I like it or not. Just like the word Epic :/ | ||

The last time when Effort was playing around 70 percentage was in july 2009, when he had around 30-40 games played in total (25-11 on july 15 for a quick check on my part). If anyone ever used this term then he was just wrong. I guess people were sure that Effort would be the next big zerg after Jaedong, and since there was JvZ, during Efforts ridiculous streak (sth. like 26-2) someone came up with that term to compare him with the Dong. Anyway, I hope it never catches on. You don't make up those terms for describing a playstyle, you use them for utter domination. | ||
