Jaedong, reigning MSL champion is working hard to preserve his second MSL victory in a row.
Today at 10:00 CET Jaedong will be going head to head against his team mate ForGG. While the history speaks for the Zerg player Jaedong, the current map pool favors the Terran player ForGG.
- I feel the Terran has the advantage in this final, it seems like this is going to be easy for Park Ji Soo (ForGG), says Jaedong before the final.
- There are days when I practice where I just can't win on these maps and I get stressed over it. But it's not as so much as "I find these maps difficult" it's more of a "I do not feel like having to practice in them". The good thing is, if I'm able to win the finals, I'll be even more happy, since I'll know that I've won in non-Zerg conditions, says Jaedong.
Jaedong has come to a possible turning point with this match. Should he win, he preserves his position as the best ranked player and have his winning streaks intact. If he loses, he feels that all his practice sessions and mental preparations would be in vain.
- That's why winning this is currently my biggest goal. I want to be a player that can literally "feel" the power of my fans cheering for me, that's what I desire, reveals Jaedong.
Winning the finals will be a truly honorable moment for Jaedong, he says. But he does not want to be called the new Bonjwa (best player) just quite yet.
- I'm keeping strong, not for the grand title of Bonjwa, but for the Arena MSL title. I feel I only deserve the title of Bonjwa after I've slowly worked my way up to multiple league victories, Jaedong says.
A couple of hours after 11:30 CET today, the Arena MSL champion will be known.
