'Reflections' with Jaedong

This article was originally published on GameSpot's sister site onGamers.com, which was dedicated to esports coverage.

Lee 'Jaedong' Jae Dong, Zerg StarCraft2 player for Evil Geniuses and BW legend, is the star of the 15th episode of 'Reflections'.

When did Jaedong first realise Flash was to be his rival? Did he have a special mental strength for big matches in BW? What would have happened if he'd faced Bisu in a big final? Has finishing second so many times changed how he thinks of people with "the silver curse" like YellOw, Stork and Fantasy? How does he think of himself?
