EPTSo either Fantasy takes up the mantle of Boxer (2 OSLs) or Jangbi takes the mantle of GARIMTO (2 OSLs as well). Sweet! But still Jangbi all the way!!!
Edit- after some reading, yeah, eff the term bonjwa.

I have no idea how he does it but his wraiths were at the right spots so damn often, denying dropships, threatening tanks and being really annoying. Then he obliterates the doom drop - the one that Flash used successfully in PL finals - and shuts down most of the other dropship plays while inflicting absurd losses. Game 2's bottom left SCV denial and awesome Dmatrix use were nice bonuses. I wish there was a Resources Lost indicator. I still slightly hate that this wasn't a finals. FvF so good. *edit* Hahaha the background on page 113 | ||

 Anyway, fantasy played amazing, I wish there was some tally of the amount of dropships Flash lost in game 1, those Wraiths were worth their weight in gold. | ||

I've never heard that before, but it makes some vague sort of sense; sounds like something an official/magistrate might say (complete with haughty tone and funny walk). Yes, everyone in China calls him 马 本座 (ma bonjwa), 座 can also mean throne (of a king), i.e. someone occupying the title, also meaning that only one person can occupy it at one time. Also in China no one calls the other players (boxer, iloveoov, nada, flash) bonjwa, it's a name reserved for savior. Often people also make joke names of X 本, putting the first letter or enunciation of a name in place of X. Like 傻本 | ||

Anyone's welcome to doubt Savior's skill. It just means they did not understand how Starcraft is played during the 2005-2007 time period. | ||

Pathfinder just rewards Fantasy's heavy dropship harass style as shown in the Bacchus OSL finals vs Stork. The narrow cliffs rewards siege tank drops, but also rewards carriers as well due to close air distances and cliffs to dodge goliath vision. Jangbi just put on tons of risks on those maps by going 12 nexus to 2 base carriers. | ||
