Why do protss have to... ah well it always has been this way. | ||

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 | ||

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". | ||

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" | ||

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? | ||

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.  | ||
