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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
