Given the indisputable fact that IdrA has become the top foreigner now that he is at CJ house (and has won oh so many tournaments http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=98695), I think IdrA should be given an alias. Like, "The Terran Hope", "The White Hope" or "White Boys Can Jump" or something like that (hell, i'd go for "Western BM" too lol). kinda like the whole Korean scene that almost everyone has a nick like this (the Maestro, The Revolutionist, etc).
What do you guys think?

I really don't feel like it's appropriate to name someone "foreign bonjwa." Idra has gotten good, but the difference between him and Flash or Fantasy is incredibly vast.

Just call him "the best foreigner" and cheer for him and leave it at that, okay?

No way, it's way too early. He has to make the roster to prove himself imo.

I think it's laughable and pathetic and degrades the meaning of the term "bonjwa."

Honestly, if your kid is playing little league sports, you don't give a shit who the "bonjwa" is unless the bonjwa just happens to be your kid.

Foreign Starcraft is little league.

I don't think the foreign scene is little league at all. If I had to make a comparison (I'll use basketball since that's the sport I'm most familiar with) I would say that Korea is the NBA and the "foreign" scene is like European basketball. Sure the comparison isn't 100% accurate because there are Euros in the NBA that are some of the best players... but you get the gist of it. The NBA is just vastly far above the Euro leagues in terms of everything, size, skill, athleticism... that European teams simply can't compete. (Note: I'm not talking about national teams because that's really a totally different comparison).

The point though is that, whether you're a superstar in the NBA or a superstar in Europe... you are still a superstar, you're still playing the game at an incredibly high level, and you're still making tons of money. So who cares whether you want to reserve the title "bonjwa" for just Koreans... IdrA is doing exactly what a Korean bonjwa would do but in the foreign scene.

It's funny that you chose basketball as your example, where football ("soccer") would be a near-perfect fit.

Who is the superstar in American soccer...?

No way... People who play in their spare time will always be considered little league. That's like being amazed an NHL player could go to some hockey club of people with full time jobs and school them.

I'm not fully aware, but if European Basketball players play basketball full time, there's no comparison. The fact is most of the people Idra is beating are playing for fun, not for a job. Only TossGirl and PJ stood out.

Oh no, we're disgracing a word.

Lmao.

Foreign Bonjwa would be fine but I don't think it could be used in a regular situation...
