Flash most epic bw player of all time, he is way too strong right now and with the decline of sc:bw I feel he will never be challenged again.
I don't need luck, luck is for noobs, good luck to you though

I decided I should come back and say, although I think the title "bonjwa" is inherently silly and unnecessary (how about the title "best player?") if anyone ever deserves it, it's BoxeR. Not just because he was the best but because of the intrigue and mystique. The charisma is as integral to his character as the dominance in the early days.

Edit: Nal_rA will always be my bonjwa though.

SC2 infestation!

+ Show Spoiler +
Are you f***ing kidding me? SC2 infestation? Look at my join date.
Anyway, in every thread discussing Bonjwa there is indisputably argument over who qualifies for the title, and BoxeR did not win as many leagues as all those others, but I guess around the the dawn of MSL he started to decline. But he, along with the rest of those players, and Flash, were without debate the best players for a long time. So I accept that BoxeR is in the annals of bonjwa history.
Edit: spelling Edit 2: Point: There were fewer big leagues to win when BoxeR was good.

How can you not expect a comment like "SC2 infestation!" when you don't even know if boxer was a bonjwa or not? Join date doesn't matter if you don't respect the king.

If you have read through all the threads in the past three years (or longer, I don't claim an expertise in the area of StarCraft) you would realize how noisome the debates about the word "bonjwa" become, and how many different definitions people use. For example, if it were "3MSL and >=1 OSL" then BoxeR would not be bonjwa. Honestly, since it doesn't matter at all, we can just call anyone we want bonjwa. I play Protoss so I think bonjwa describes Nal_rA, Stork, and Bisu. I know who Im Yo Hwan is and have read plenty of poignant threads about his past, used to watch ACE in the proleague live whenever I could, and always watched his games on YouToube afterwards if I missed them.

So obviously, since a couple people said something along the lines of "you are completely and totally ignorant if you didn't know BoxeR was bonjwa, you are a StarCraft retard and have no knowledge of this game whatsoever, and should be regarded with disrespect and disdain," BoxeR must indeed be bonjwa and I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I digress. And say that it is painfully obvious that Flash has reached the lofty heights of greatness as all those others have, at least in technical achievement, consistency, and dominance, even if not in legend. And I do so love the fact that he says "bonjwa means I can't go any higher' but I can."


Boxer is a Bonjwa, there is nothing to disagree with when it comes to that. I bet even if Jaedong and Flash were asked if they considered Boxer a Bonjwa, they would agree. Many people have a great respect for him, what he has achieved, and what he has contributed to the Starcraft community. When someone receives the title Bonjwa, it is because he is generally accepted as one, not because a certain group or individual wants to call him one.

Indeed, there was even an interview with Savior and Boxer, titled "Bonjwa Talk". I think Ancestral is the only person to dispute Boxer's status as a bonjwa...

She said "this pressure kind of makes him more stronger" and bearing in mind the translator is just translating his words I changed that to the first person perspective.
