wow, you know I've never noticed this until you mentioned this
Whenever Flash and Bisu are introduced or win a game, the commentators scream "AHHHHHHHH ULTIMATE WEAPON/REVOLUTIONIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
But Jaedong is.... Jaedong.
Tyrant, God of Destruction, Legend Killer (I hate this nickname, it is so bad. Almost as bad as Southpaw) and even the "Village Drum" nicknames seem so displaced for the guy

Jaedong doesn't need a nickname. Jaedong is defined by himself. He's mother fucking Jaedong.

Amen to that. Also, some proof that it's true - a picture I've taken in Seoul a week ago:
Just look at this man, they named an entire district and an Elementary School after Jaedong.

Speaking of of nicknames. Why is stork called the dinotoss? I mean, Reach is (was) the Mantoss and bisu is the Ninjatoss, both names fit pretty well their playing style. When I see stork play I always think "The Administrator". Stork really likes dinosaurs.

He is know as the Dinotoss beacuse he was once photographed in a dinosaur costume:

Another variation of the name is Pterodactyl Toss due to his good carrier micro.
EDIT: Also, Reach earned the nickname Mantoss more due to his muscular physique, which is generally uncommon among progamers.

I love "Legend Killer". Sure, he is a legend himself but it's still a great nickname.
|
I think NuketheStars referred to him as "The Overmind" in one of his hype videos, which I thought was pretty sweet.

Stork also had that really, really weird moment when he sang that Dooly-Protoss song after losing to Flash in the OSL finals. I seriously thought he lost his mind from losing two back-to-back OSLs to the LeeSsang duo or something.

@kyo yuy, tom phoenix and korasilver: Thanks for the clarifications. I think I may have a soft spot for stork now, hehehe, he's just too weird not to like.
In the middle of all this Jaedong adoration, I'd like to point out now though, that I like Calm's and July's playstyle better. Less reliant on pure overwhelming mechanical mechanics , more reliant on decision making and strategy.

Can someone confirm that district/school originally had different name?

He doesn't need nickname IMO. He already choose to be uncreative and use his surname as gaming nickname. Enough said.
|
How about: Jaedong is not a player - he's a victory condition?

mmmmm
Jaedongjwa gets thrown around here and there, but people in every community are generally sick of the Bonjwa dead-horse anyway. Though if he ever becomes acknowledged as a Bonjwa, that's probably gonna be the name.
No one really needs a nickname, but it's just very surprising that a zillion fangirls/boys have found nothing suitable when everyone else has one.

I know that this is a StarCraft forum and all but really?
Who the hell even gives a crap what JD's nickname is or if he has one?
And don't post, "oh he must be a troll". Just take a step back and notice what this is all about.
A NICKNAME?
