flash isn't bonjwa he's 'god'

Flash is one of the Bonjwas. Compared to the other bonjwas, Flash is a Bonjwa, so he's Bonjwa^2 :D

Bonjwa^2 = God.

That's how I understand it .

Its solid gold. Stork said that if Jd and Flash sold both of their mouses, there would be at least couple of OSLs left to go

I think that's a little bit cold of stork, even if it was a joke. They earned it and deserved far more.

they can always make a silver mouse for stork


this could be the sickest burn i've seen in like a year

It contains 200 g of real gold, out of 375 g of its total weight

Also, the platinum mouse was planned for 5 OSL wins and diamond for 7. They haven't really talked about any of this since Nada lost to Savior.

The only way Flash isn't bonjwa is if you specifically define "bonjwa" as "Boxer, Nada, Oov, Savior, and not Flash."

If Flash isn't a bonjwa yet he dominated more than all the other bonjwas then people might want to reconsider what it actually means (and there doesn't seem to be one meaning)

Flash is not a bonjwa you people. You guys don't even understand Korean 100%. The main reason is that all the bonjwas were royal roader but flash was not. However flash is considered as God which is above than bonjwa line. He has better records than any other bonjwas.

But he had an easier time getting that record. Consider NaDa who had to compete with Oov, July, Boxer, Savior, XellOs, etc all peaking. Flash had his best run when only Jaedong was playing decently, as soon as Fantasy and Jangbi began to play decently Flash never won anything. Flash does not deserve to mentioned along side the 4 Bonjwas, they are far above him.

Flash was just so good that he made everyone seem like slumping,

Seriously though, if "Flash had his best run when only Jaedong was playing decently," and he defeated JD quite a lot of times, then he IS literally unrivaled which is = bonjwa. Might be because everyone was actually slumping, but that still makes him "unrivaled."

Yeah no. He's bonjwa

I'm quoting this message for one reason:

Jealous, I apologize for what I said. It seems I was too hasty in responding to your comment. I now see that you only meant people considered him beyond bonjwa and to the status of god. You were not making a comment insinuating that Flash was not a bonjwa, rather than that you were trying to state that he was beyond that.

In which case I thoroughly apologize for that and for any future arguments that may have arose from my comment.

No problem. Just want to reiterate in short to the people above this post still arguing, Flash is NOT Bonjwa. He IS God. It is not up to us to decide - the Koreans do that for us.

Lol, I remember people saying Koreans had decided he was a bonjwa after he beat Jaedong and won the duel finals. In any case, like people have said, it doesn't matter at all because he's achieved way more than any of the bonjwas except for arguably Nada. I'll always remember him as the best Broodwar player of all time.

sorry to necro a thread, but do you guys think ASL should count as OSL win? or is the competition not equivalent to how it was in the KeSpa golden age era?

because if you combine flash's 3 OSL wins with his 4 ASL wins, he'd have the 5x platinum mouse and the 7x diamond mouse. in my heart, flash has both those trophies

also flash's 3peat ASL win counts for something spectacular too

So, taking this literally, ASL wins are (obviously) not OSL wins and you don't get any mouses for winning ASLs.

But if your purpose is to use league wins to measure career success and so to award imaginary diamond mouses, or something like this, then it would probably make sense to weigh KSL/ASL wins as somewhat less meaningful than OSL and MSL wins. Like you mention, the competition is not at the same level as it was back then.

So maybe you can do something like:
n of imaginary career success trophies = (OSL wins + MSL wins + 0.75 * KSL wins + 0.75 * ASL wins) / 3

where 0.75 is an arbitrary weight that tries to account for OSL and MSL wins being more prestigious.

He has dominated multiple eras and every definition of bonjwa I've seen fits. The only way he is not a Bonjwa is if Koreans say no, because the word doesn't translate well. I have not heard any Koreans not consider him a bonjwa. Maybe we can have Scan be our guide
