Flash is the most dominant ... You can't deny 6 finals in 1 season , even if he only won 4 of them .

You really should choose a more specific word. 'Greatest' can be interpreted in too many different ways to make this post worthwhile; influential, skillful, dominant, popular, all-of-the-above etc.

I don't think there's any question really as to who was the most influential (BoxeR) or who was the most skillful (NaDa). Really what it comes down to is which of those things you value more.

But anyway... for me, BoxeR without doubt.

If you break the word greatest down, it becomes very similar to "most popular".
You can't measure greatness because each person places different weights to different attributes.

I think Boxer's the greatest because of what he did for the scene.
But someone could easily argue that NaDa is greatest because of what he achieved over such a long period of time.

There's no greatest, I even doubt if Flash and/or Jaedong will be such dominant as they were in 2010/2009 respectively. Brand new season, and new games.

By influence Boxer is definitely ahead anyone.
For the Swarm!!! Jaedong & Neo_G.Soulkey fan.

Its simply incomparable. The difference between slayersboxer and nada is like the difference between Dota and Heroes of Newerth, where slayersboxer is the sc equivalent of dota and nada is sc equivalent of Heroes of Newerth. For those who don't know what Dota and Heroes of Newerth is, Dota is a custom map in wc3 and Heroes of Newerth is a copy game of Dota, with a few adjustments such as better graphics and similar unit design. Obviously, Heroes of Newerth would never have existed without Dota, and likewise, Nada (or any other terran progamer for that matter) wouldn't be the same without Boxer, seeing as Nada wouldn't be abled to use the innovative strategies and micro techniques which boxer had contributed and of course we all know that before boxer, terran was pretty much disadvantaged.

Let's put it this way.

Nada's accomplishment CAN be surpassed. Both Jaedong and Flash look ready to break Nada's title count.

Boxer's legacy CAN NOT be surpassed by ANYBODY. He is the father of brood war progaming, the innovator of the Terran race back when it was UP, the ONLY progamer to reach into the hearts of the mainstream, the sole ICON of e-sport, the discoverer of micro play, the founder of TWO (he literally created SKT and was instrumental in the creation of ACE) of the twelve (now ten) pro-gaming teams, the cause behind the creation of the Golden Mouse, involved with the greatest rivalry (Boxer/Yellow) in e-sport history, the oldest progamer alive, etc etc.

Let's face it, who gives a fuck about titles, Nada can't crash the GSL stream, and Flash can't attract 1 million fans just by popping up his face. Only Starcraft gamers know who Nada is, while your Korean parents and their parents in the retirement home can recognize Boxer's face. When everybody's dead and gone, Boxer's name will remain, while the rest will simply be a passing mention in the dusty history book.

great post, I agree.

Tho in that History book, with all the progamers just listed alphabetically, and Boxer having a complete chapter for himself, NaDa will at least have a picture next to his name.

I always say that Nada is the greatest ever. But Boxer is God.

Out of curiosity, will any of the BW fans who have little to no general interest in SC2 be watching the Boxer vs Nada GSL match coming up on Tuesday?

It's like comparing the best archer (NaDa) to the guy who invented the bow (BoxeR).

You have to look at it also from, where would nada be if boxer had never existed. I don't think any player is G.O.A.T. atm simply because the brood war scene is still going. If you want to award titles like most influential (boxer) or most successful (nada) thats fine.
As far as I'm concerned oov>>>>>them all. credit to boxer because he brought him up

isn't jaedong the most dominant? or savior even?

[image loading]


this is really dominant imo


Incredibly so, but so was Savior's run and Flash's run. Neither came out of nowhere with the streak of fire that Oov did. It's kinda pointless to determine who was the most dominant though, there are just too many things that you cant translate through the periods. I think you can roughly break the Bonjwas into a few catagories: Dominate, Innovative, and .. My god do these guys ever go away?

While all the bonjwa were exceptional in all of these catagories I think it roughly breaks down more like this:

Dominate - Flash and Oov
Innovative - Boxer and Savior
Longevity - Nada ----- (If JD wins another title I would argue that he probably should fit into this catagory)

Which catagory is more important to being the goat? I don't know, it depends on your definition.
