I can still see the posts I made way up top. This pattern is simply a coincidence and by no means a requirement. Dominant players winning individual leagues, gee, who'd guess? So the ultimate million dollar question: What's the next evolution of StarCraft gonna look like, if it's even possible. I don't know, nobody knows. 1 glimpse of a possible breakthrough is the game b/w Bisu and UpMagiC during EVER07 where he pulled off a strategy that completely went against conventional thinking of what an advantage is in SC and how to maximize it. The problem now is how to come up with a pattern of regularity. He also gave us the 2port wraith TvZ build. God I love UpMagiC. | ||

What he really needs is a few worthy adversaries to meet him in the finals. ForGG for one. | ||

His ZvT during 2007 was . . . remember oov before he met July?the problem is that jaedong doesnt have that aura of domination around him But yeah, it seems he polished his ZvP but went a bit sloppy with his vT (relative to his 2007 level, I mean.) So he doesn't appears to be this all-ruling choguling. | ||

what are you talking about, boxer, what year is that? That game in 05 was 1base no macro vs a 2hatch scourge into lurker. It's nothing like the new timing build. | ||

What he really needs is a few worthy adversaries to meet him in the finals. ForGG for one. Neither ForGG and Jaedong were born in November. But they are still candidates for non-November Bonjawa, but neither have revolutionized the game enough to justify Bonjawa status. Nada, Oov, and Savior all revolutionized the game in one form or another. | ||

This being said, although the "original" pattern (3 out of 4 MSL into OSL into slump/new bonjwa/repeat) has failed to repeat, only the "out of 4" part has proven to be wrong so far.  Bisu just won his third MSL and is in the form of his life, and one of the big favorites to win the current OSL.Meanwhile, Leta, AGAIN someone born in November, just took down Flash in the MSL, and no one would be really surprised should he win the whole thing. He would make a perfect contender for the next cycle.Only little "flaw" in all this is Bisu beating Leta in their last encounter. Bisu is supposed to be jinxed against Leta, like Savior has been jinxed vs Bisu, Oov was vs Savior and Nada vs Oov. This is only one game though, and pre-Bisu-OSL-win too, so it might get totally reversed after their next few encounters. Anyway, the (slightly altered) pattern kind of lives on for now! | ||
