Ya, Savior didn't win his first MSL appearance, he found an early exit, and then won in his second one (UZOO).

It'll be interesting to see who Bisu loses to, and if they will be the next bonjwa.

Ah right, it wasn't Savior's first MSL. Only checked the previous one.

[Actually, it wasn't even Nada's first MSL either, since he lost to IntoTheRain during KPGA Tour 1st (which Boxer won).]

Editing opening post. Other facts still remain.

the recent ones is iloveoov owning savior.
your theory fails.
you forgot that south korea supports hwasin. why lecaf oz was 8-0 in proleague? answer: experience and dedication. there is no mystery or trick. korean proleague is made of starcraft champions.

No, he's right. Savior is 6-0 vs him in official matches. This was a special event, and only one game anyway. The records are there: any bonjwa seems to be automatically jinxed vs the following one.

Nada is 5-16 against Oov in official games (also lost in some chinese event finals).
Oov is 0-6 against Savior (also lost in some chinese event, but won in Superfight).
Savior is 0-3 against Bisu (also lost at least twice in special events).

Not jinxed, but the so-called bonjwa seems to standardize a part of his own style among the pros, which leads to the next one to become specialized in dismantling that style.

Only two of that list are Royal Roaders though

Iono, I always thought Royal Roader is much cooler title than Bonjwa.

The "standardization" is what creates the next bowjwa. The domination of the bowjwa depends on this standardization among the pros from the previous one. So when they crossover (like nada vs savior or oov vs bisu), all bets are off.

And the "level of play starts dropping a bit" really isn't that he's playing worse, but that people around him are playing better because of him.

If you look at Boxer's case, it's different. His era was in the wild.

I only partially agree with that. Usually, when these players win the OSL, they have reached the highest (professional) goals they could ever dream of: winning the two most competitive tournaments that exist. You could clearly see that NaDa had lost his "invincibleness" right after Panasonic. He went from extremely determined/confident during Panasonic to sloppy/nervous during Olympus. He was playing significantly worse because of this. He had nothing left to win, only stuff to lose.

Same happened to Oov, while Savior seems to still have "it" since his OSL loss... just a tad less, which makes all the difference.

That silly Yoon-Yeol is a bit of an anomaly though, because he's won two further OSL to get Golden Mouse.

Well, Oov won another OSL too. There doesn't seem to be a "pattern" anymore after they've won their first OSL. It seems they usually come back later to win a title every once in a while, though without displaying the same kind of domination ever again.

You got a point there. So if history is any indication, Savior's not gonna be the one to break Bisu

And if you look at the pattern, it seems we've come full-circle. It's been terran-zerg-protoss, the next one should be terran once again if I'm right.

That's actually very telling. I remember something TanthalaS said back in the old wc2 kali days.

Keep in mind that most people occasionally venture outside of their classifications in an effort to get better, but more often than not, when the chips are down, a Repeater will repeat and a Specialist will specialize, etc.


I think the period of domination is them doing what they do best - playing according to their own style. After that it becomes about "venturing" out of their own personality-driven style in an effort to win again. And like forcing yourself to do what you don't like, it's not consistent.
