I reckon also players need to have played for atleast 2 years before they are capable of being bonjwa.

Bisu had his first 1v1 in SKY 2005 PL R2
Savior had his first 1v1 in a MBC Teamleague in 2004 (I think?)
Oov has his first 1v1 in the KTF Ever Cup in 2003 (I think)
Nada had his first 1v1 somewhere in 2002.

So the next Bonjwa will have to be debuted in 2006.


Hmm, Nada did play his first official 1v1 in 2002 but the first MSL he won started 2 months later. Same for Oov who had his first 1v1 in 2003. UZOO started started 5 months later. Both Savior and Bisu had been around for about one year and a half though.

So I don't think it's a 'constant', but if there's gonna be a new one it's indeed not impossible that we already know him.

Also, to be bonjwa, you need at least as many vowels as consonants in your name

Nada (2 vowels, 2 consonants)
Iloveoov (5 vowels, 3 consonants)
Savior (3 vowels, 3 consonants)
Bisu (2 vowels, 2 consonants)

In fact, when Savior was named IPXZERG (2 vowels, 5 consonants) he wasn't bonjwa, but once he changed his name he became bonjwa

So according to this, Flash has no chance. Jaedong misses by 1 letter.

Free, though, is a candidate, so is Anytime, so is Sea.

Your theory fails, HB. Bisu[Shield], aka Bisu's real nickname, has four vowels for a whopping six consonants.

And don't argue that clan names don't count.

I think Bisu really is gonna win his third MSL but he will never achieve the victory at OSL...

I hope I am right


You are not.

First bonjwa? Grrr, perhaps (though debatable). Boxer was definitely bonjwa and he came before Nada.

yea i remember that osl, oov looked sad to have won it. i think he had even said that he wanted his 'master' to win it, and that marine rush was crazy :O

Until you can demonstrate to me in-depth knowledge of the history of the pro scene in Korea beyond the ability to regurgitate some superficial factoids that you happened across while surfing for vods, I suggest you keep your hopelessly sophomoric opinions to yourself.

Not sure if he followed progaming during grr's time. I know i didnt but i know he was really good in his prime. Even my friends who casually or dont follow progaming when they think of foreign progamers only one names sticks out. Guillaume(think thats how you spell his name right?)

he's good
he was probably the best back then. but I doubt his qualification for being consider as a bonjwa.

But, the only reason I lol@him is, he seemed not concerned when he was going downwards. He fell, not because of his capability, but he did not pay much attention to this game any more. In this regards, Guillaume Patry is not in the same calibre with Lim yo-hwan or any successors

dominating everyone else and never losing when it matters over a certain span of time
I think it's hard to find a accurate definition for a figure like this

bonjwa is bonjwa only because most of the people recognize him/her as a bonjwa

I just doubt most of the people will recognize Grrrr... as one

same with all the other bonjwas they started getting fame and dominating then they started going out way more banging fan girls etc buying luxury items and they all went down hill

look at savior now, he bought a car lOL WHY DOES HE NEED A CAR
