IMHO bisu never attained the "bonjwa" status.. he was a strong player, yes, but he was never dominating everyone - he was defeated plenty of times during his "reign", including a few games by savior/Mind/Stork (i might add Stork has been competing for that Bonjwa status as well - perhaps the two protoss forces ended up canceling each other out, neither one of them becoming an official "bonjwa")

Shit if they can get together w/ stork's PvP PvT mechanics and Bisu's PvT and PvZ charms it'll be amazing.
Why do protss have to...
ah well it always has been this way.

aww fuck i just got spoilered. damn it.

+ Show Spoiler +
Could you put the "Bisu wins next msl prediction" with a slash through it in a spoiler for a while?


I think there is a spoiler tag in the title of the thread? I understand what you mean though, I hate when I'm looking at VODS in the Small Vod Thread and I click on a spoiler tag, assuming it pertains to a game I either already know the results to or don't care about, and then I find out the results to the recent sAviOr game that I wanted to watch Maybe in threads (and maybe titles) we should try harder to make the spoilers + Show Spoiler [what is being spoiled] +
like this
so that I know which spoilers are safe :p

I'm just wondering if Bonjwa is just simply the french "Bon joueur", or, good player. That's the kind of things Grrr could say.

And it sounds exactly like how an asian would say it.

Just an idea...

Whoa boy, let me school you.

bonjwa = 本座

Loose translation in English that works the best is probably "The Throne".

i donno if bonjwa = 本座
but 本座 literally translates to "this seat" in chinese. in ancient times "this seat" is a term for someone in office (usually used by a high ranked monk or buddist) to refer to themselves. you would use it like the words "me" or "i" in a sentence.

the more powerful term is 朕 pronounced "zhen", which also means and can be used as "i" or "me" in a sentence. however, this term is used only by the emperor. anyone else using this term will be executed on charges of treason or insults against the throne.

a more correct term would be 陛下, pronouced "bi xia" in chinese which translates to "his majesty". the japanese term for it is spelt the same, pronouced "heika". the emperors of japan can be formally referred to using "tenno heika" meaning "his majesty the emperor"

Everyone here thought Bisu was going to be the next Bonjwa, but is was for naught. Bisu was the false Bonjwa. We all thought he was the next light, because he defeated Savior, as Savior defeated oov, as oov defeated NaDa, as new Bonjwa defeats old Bonjwa. But now we know the truth. Now we know the true Bonjwa is not Bisu. So who do we see most likely to become the next Bonjwa? I'm saying it right now, if Jaedong kills Savoir this OSL 16, he could be the true Bonjwa. Destined to be great, and destined to fall.

:o...

That was so epic that I almost shit myself.

What if Bisu wins the next MSL and OSL? Will he be qualified to claim the Bonjwa name then?

Or this can simply prove that Bonjwas are a silly concoction that people try to use to generalize and romanticize pro-gamers careers.

I'd like to mention that the pattern discussed here is a cute pattern, nothing more. Following this pattern is not the prerequisite for becoming a "bonjwa". Be dominant enough, the titles will follow.

This "will Bisu be bonjwa if he wins the next MSL?" is getting old. If Bisu ever does become "bonjwa", it'll be because he destroyed his opponents left and right (something he never quite managed to do) regardless of the situation.

"Bonjwa" needs to dominate, that's all. And by domination, I mean utter domination, winning against ALL, not just "he was unstoppable in proleagues" or "he may have not done well in proleagues but he got the most titles in individual leagues". Can anyone lay claim to such level of domination currently? Does anyone's play right now just REEK of raw domination? Nope. Can Bisu do it? Maybe. But it won't be because he managed to complete some pattern.

I personally find hope in Jaedong. But I'm biased because I have a soft spot for zerg users.

It's going to be Jaedong because Bisu was the False Bonjwa. I thought I explained this quite clearly, non-believer :D

Out of everyone so far jaedong comes the closest in being a bonjwa. Look at the guy's zvt zvz stats.They scream oov all over. And his zvp is top too and still getting better. Jaedong is a monster. Hes the one to beat. And i think he will until some terran or zerg dominates him like 3-0 in a final.

i think jaedong still got some more proofs to do.

sure he w00ped bisu in a classic arm wrestling match, but bisu wasnt bonjwa anyways.
i see stork as a strong contender if he can polish his pvz.
