Jaedong for 2009, I think. Dunno who to place at 2008. Bisu? JD? Flash? Dunno. =/

Wasn't 2 years of Savior or at least one year of Bisu?
Bisu must have had a year between Jaedong/Flash when he was the Savior killer
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Fantasy, no. Compare his 0 titles and a slightly above average winrate to Flash winning a title by beating JD, Bisu and Stork (fuck fuck fuck, that Starleague run is so ridiculous) and keeping a sick winrate throughout the year. But indeed, the scene was very fun back then. I remember thinking Stork was unbeatable for a while (when he won his Starleague title) and then all of a sudden Bisu went on a sick tear causing people to make Bonjwa-threads about it.

Wasn't Bisu in a huge slump until the later half of 2008?
Here are the starleague winners for 2008 (Interesting year indeed)
- (Z)Jaedong GOMTV MSL Season 4
- (T)fOrGG Arena MSL
- (P)Bisu ClubDay MSL

- (T)Flash Bacchus OSL
- (Z)July EVER OSL
- (P)Stork Incruit OSL

We had SIX unique starleague winners in 2008 with 2 from each races as opposed to Flash/JD winning everything in 2010.

Bisu for 2007, Jaedong or Stork for 2008. (no one won more than one league, but Jaedong and Stork at least had 1 gold 1 silver)

2007 Bisu was the best player... two MSL golds, a MSL silver, and an OSL bronze (back when they had a third place match for seeding).

Jaedong won an OSL but his ZvP was incredibly shaky until he beat Stork in that final, and it wasn't entirely clear his ZvP had gotten better (given the way he won those games) until he started ripping every Protoss to shreds after the fact. In fact, he had lost to The Rock in the OSC tourney for the 4th seed. He was an absolute monster in ZvT though.

Bisu kind of sucked in proleague back then which is why his win % in that year wasn't the best.
