Lee Jae-dong (born 9 January 1990), who plays simply under the name Jaedong, is a South Korean former professional StarCraft: Brood War player and StarCraft II player who played most recently for Evil Geniuses prior to his retirement. He has since come out of retirement and to returned to playing SC:BW. Announced as a full-time streamer on November 12, 2016, he made his return tournaments scene a week later during the 2016 KT GiGA Legends Match lll. Using the Zerg race in both games, Lee is considered one of the most successful StarCraft players of all time, having won five OnGameNet Starleague (OSL) and MBCGame StarCraft League (MSL) tournaments, and earning over $600,000 in tournament prize money. His other nicknames include The Tyrant and The Legend Killer.
Jaedong made his debut in 2006 as a member of the Korean team Hwaseung OZ and quickly proved himself to be a talented player. In less than two years he won his first premier tournament, the Seoul International eSports Festival, followed shortly after by both the OSL and the MSL tournaments. Since then he dominated the StarCraft competitive scene, revolutionizing Zerg strategy and establishing a famous rivalry with the Terran player Lee Young-Ho.
Over his six-year career as a StarCraft: Brood War player, Lee set several records. He has the second-highest ELO peak of any player at 2378, and the second highest career win rate at 67.45%. He is one of four players to win the Golden Mouse, which is awarded to players for winning 3 OSL tournaments.
After KESPA revised the rules regulating free agency, Hwaseung OZ made Lee an offer of 140,000,000 won (112,420 USD) a year to renew his contract. During the bidding period, Lee expressed interest in remaining within Hwaseung Oz because of the friendships he had forged over the past three years on the team.
