No, SK is not a Bonjwa. He is not playing a race that is considered weak and dominated in a particular matchup, by an elite of the game's all time best players with 70% and 80%+ winrates, on horrible maps. Ironically, Savior made it so that no other Zerg could be called Bonjwa, as he saved ZvT. Now if he were Protoss, and ZvP was really skewed, and the top 5 or so Zergs had 70%+ winrates and were among the best players of all time, and he was destroying these guys in Starleague semifinals and finals doing things you never saw, then yeah he'd be a Bonjwa.

Imo there are only 4. Boxer, Nada, oov and savior.

Neither Flash nor Jaedong ever dominated each other enough. And post KeSPA doesn't count.

At the time of Boxer Terran was considered weak. Nada and oov continued the T dominance.

JD fan? :p

Memory from that golden flash period is still clear that he did look invencible, individually and those reversal all kills for KT Flash :D

Jaedong was there to be a worthy rival and to make Flash lool even better because he was so good as well. But you knew in those days that he would 14'cc you and you would be doomed.

FlaSh dominated in Kespa and then dominated early ASL and in online proleagues. He is definitely an official bonjwa.

There is a reason Flash went straight to God and not Bonjwa. And that was way before ASL. His dominance and gameplay was so far ahead from everyone else lol.

Flash earned the title bonjwa during Kespa era and after Kespa he won 4 ASL title, 3 of which are back to back. He was so dominance that he picked random to make it fair for other players.

Notably, Soulkey has a <50% winning rate against Light in the recent months. Weirdly enough, no one is talking about it.

With how soulkey destroyed light in SSL, it's hard to care about Light winning in some random bo1's. Soulkey made it look like beating Light was an easy a-move.

these are largely from bo7 and bo9 sets. they play almost no bo1s except in proleagues. spons are 3/2, 5/3 or 7/4. ultimate battle is 9 games. chinese version is 7-9 games. one 7/4 set anything can happen because its still a small sample size.

according to liquipedia, the original post is wrong. soulkey has a winning record vs light in both matches and maps.

You really have no idea of what you are talking about. Do you really think those are all the games Soulkey and Light have played since 2016 ??? Liquipedia includes a extremely small fraction of all the games pros play. The data I used comes from eloboard (granted, it is also incomplete, but to a much much lesser extent than liquipedia).


so i hadn't actually looked into it, i guessed, but i was right.


Imagine being this unfoundedly confident.

Don't use liquipedia for your data
liquipedia is extremely incomplete. use eloboard.

for example this screenshot from eloboard alone already has 6-3 vs soulkey in chinese bo9 and a 2-1 from a bo3.
