Man, I kinda wish that Midas just scanned that one damned lurker on Reverse Temple so there would be no Bonjwa discussions today.

you do realize only one player won OSL/MSL at once, let alone a 5 round PL with it with a completely shitty back bone team line, if he actually did what you said,Jaedong wouldnt only be bonjwa, he would be the greatest progamer of all time without any denial.

Yes I do. Yet, he lost BO5 against Calm after straight-up games. I'm almost 100% sure he's been cutting sleep before MSL Semis; he looked like zombie.

Speaking about PL finals, he lost two games due to faulty gameplans and one because of cheese. Bonjwas don't mess up their strats. Bonjwas have that spider-sense to avoid being rushed (Savior is perfect example). Jaedong is great, and I'm not trying to take anything from him, but being Bonjwa is something else than what he is. Something more.


I love how you seem to regard a Bonjwa as some sort of religious deity that is beyond all human comprehension.

If hero hadn't knocked Bisu out of Batoo, and Bisu had gone on to win it, he would have been considered a Bonjwa.

Why are people still discussing whether Bisu or Jaedong is bonjwa. I thought that was a bannable offence now.

If anything, this article should have made you realize that it wasn't just sAviOr's skill, but also the circumstances of the Zerg race that elevated him to bonjwa status.

Watch fantasy vs JD game 5 of the OSL finals and say JD doesn't have that sense.

PL wasn't that big back then so Bonjwas had less chances of getting cheesed.

It's a bit tragic.
For being called "easy race",
no Protoss bonjwas.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

How is sliding a Vulture through Temples a cheese? I agree it was a great move to intercept Terran there, but Fantasy really had nothing prepared for this final except his sneaky Valkyrie/Mech style, which Jaedong solved after losing first two games.

The analysis was nice but come on - BO3 is part of the deal here


If Bo3s were so important, why did the poster claim Jaedong had never beaten Bisu in a 'multiple game match'? Jaedong beat him 2-0 during Arena MSL.


Are you serious? JD didn't play a BO3 against Bisu in Arena. He beat him in twice in the group stages, with a loss to (I believe) Hwasin in between, then faced Bisu again in the 5th game after Bisu finished trouncing Frozean or somebody.

Beating somebody twice as part of the winner vs winner, loser vs loser, final match format that the MSL uses is NOT a BoX.

My mistake, though I still fail to see how this is even remotely something worth arguing over. It's like back when people claimed Flash > Jaedong because 2 bo3s were supposedly more telling than a bo5. Somehow, I don't think Savior was considered bonjwa due to his record in bo3 matches, nor do I think most people really remember many of them in the first place. On the other hand, I can recall almost every part of the bo5s vs Midas, Iris, oov, and Nal_ra...

My point is just BO3's are gut checks too, and Savior was completely flawless in them as well for a year. When you look at just BO5's, everyone looks pretty even but throw in BO3's, where JD/Flash/Bisu have all had a few speedbumps, and it's remarkable that Savior never lost in those situations.

Ah, that makes sense. Since Savior is the only person that I remember being referred to as "bonjwa" by koreans. Mah Bonjwa is the only bonjwa.

It's amazing how once the word "bonjwa" is mentioned, it soon turns into a "bisu or jaedong for bonjwa" debate. Just amazing.

you guys are silly. until jaedong crushes bisu and flash repeatedly (or vice-versa), so there is not just an even win-rate between them, then no-one is a bonjwa. to be a bonjwa you have to be the best. bonjwa does not just mean winning leagues. it means beating the OTHER best players consistently.
