Already in his first year as a professional in the game Starcraft Broodwar was Lee Jae -dong at the end of the Zerg with the second highest winning percentage among professional players. This year, especially his "win- Council " against Zerg and Protoss with over 70 % were very high. This earned him the title of "Rookie of the Year."
In 2007, Jaedong could also eliminate his weakness against Terran and presented a 12 to 0 run against Terran as NaDa and others. This strength in each match-up brought Lee Jae -dong in 2007, the first OSL title.

Game style
Lee Jae -dong has changed in many ways, the meta -game ( Meta - Game = standard game ) for Zerg. So Jaedong made in Zerg vs Terran match-up the 2 Hatch ( only with 2 bases) Mutalisk opening very popular as well in Zerg vs Zerg his extraordinary Zergling game with the use of advantageous attacking positions and run- bys (this is just in Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm currently widely used, ie if one has residues in the gas resource, it relies on increasing Zergling aggression). In Zerg vs Protoss match-up Jaedong developed a new counterattack against Bisus play style with Scourge and a large number of bases.
While it is generally true that Jaedongs greatest strength is its micro ( unit control), he has just refined many Zergtrends by alternating between very aggressive and economic based game styles or made popular.
