I was having a long and interesting discussion with a friend about the B-word in Brood War, and I remember a thread that said something along the lines of "Bisu etc aren't Bonjwas, they're something more" due to the more competitive/developed game.

It was a really awesome article. Sadly, my TL searching skills are weak and I have been unable to find it. It's a super good article and I want to share it with my friend. Anyone know it off the top of their head?

Sorry, I was having a heated discussion about the nature of Bonjwa with some friends who never followed BW, and I was like "hey man check out this article" and I couldn't find it ;_; but now it's all good :D

The nature of Bonjwa is:
First and only rule: When the Koreans call a player "Bonjwa" in unison, then that guy is a Bonjwa. It's as easy as that.

The Savior Bonjwa Theory

Pass these assessments and you're a Bonjwa.

1. Surprise
- A newcomer winning a championship
2. The dark age of Zerg
- Rise as Zerg's hope. Made other Zergs look same. The glorious triumph over Longinus and the Reverse Temple.
3. Overcame Terran, especially Boxer, Nada, and Iloveoov
- Win rate incomparable to other Zergs. Totally dominated the Terran trio.
4. Continuous dominance
- Win rate, most wins, ProLeague record. Three championships in a year. Five consecutive MSL final. Swept event matches.
5. Dominance over strong contemporaries
- Beat every dominant progamer of his era of every race in a multiple-gamed match (Bisu was rather a newcomer than a dominant progamer at that time).

I spent about 15 minutes looking for that thread, desperately searching for it by typing "Thread" and "looking" into the search bar and getting hundreds of results. Figures it would be "finding".

Yes, that is good too.
But the whole Bonjwa theory started with July, and then ended with Savior.

Interestingly, you were searching for the first TLFE article I ever read - and I could have probably pointed you to it. That's weird.
if I had to describe his playstyle, it'd be a coked up rabbit with the attention of a goldfish injecting caffeine into himself directly through an IV drip. it's like a reel of random animated shorts where things just blow up randomly

Best final edit is either ver's savior article or Only until midnight, two opposite style. The Storm Zerg makes me tear up every time too.
A pity we can't up those threads anymore TT
