I heard that koreans fans gone crazy after Bisu winning the GCL, the fans are arguing now about that is Bisu the 5th Bonjwa or not. Cobet, the admin of replays.net gave me some database of Bonjwas and Bisu, I put it to excel file and it looks like this:
[image loading]

I think the only thing what Bisu miss is one OSL champion, but the recent GCL was also very unique, it's very hard to say =/

So I wanna hear you guys that what you think about this? Bisu for Next Bonjwa?

Poll: Is Bisu Bonjwa?
(Vote): Yes, the first protoss bonjwa!
(Vote): No way

Best protoss ever for sure, but I would wait with bonjwa status till he wins the OSL.

If you have to ask if he's bonjwa, he's not bonjwa.

Bisu would need to win the OSL and place high in the next MSL while preforming in dominant fashion for me to even consider him. Bonjwa implies THE dominant player. No way Bisu is the dominant force in SC

As a Bisu fan, I must vote No. If he wins Batoo OSL (which I dearly hope he does, and I actually expect him to), then I will reconsider.

Even Bisu himself is saying no way

This is from the interview:
- You still aren't hearing the name "Bonjwa", how do you feel?
▲ I was asked this before. Honestly, I don't really want to hear it. When I saw bonjwas in my eyes, they all rised to the top, and toppled down to the abyss. I don't want to be a bonjwa, rather I want to be that guy who was good and didn't fall into the abyss.

If the guy himself doesn't want the title, than you should not give it to him.

First, this debate shouldnt even happen until he gets an OSL win. You cant be a bonjwa by ignoring the most prestigious tournament in Korea.

Then its a serious discussion.

Also:

Winning the upcoming "Best of GOM" Bo5 vs Jaedong for 10,000,000 won would help a lot, because his losing record vs both Flash and Jaedong makes him a tough candidate as the unquestioned best in Korea.

He did win an OSL.

Still I don't think bonjwaness shouldn't be measured (so much) in titles but rather just the amount of domination you do, like iloveoovs 70/70/80 winning percentages and 27-0 tvz. Being bonjwa to me means someone who is unbeatable for quite a while, Bisu still has very good contenders like JD/Flash who have big chances of taking games or even series from him.

Too bad JD will catch Bisu in his weakest MU now and buttfuck him for 10 000 000 won thus burying this bonjwa talk. Shit and I wanted a toss bonjwa...

One of the most amazing OSL runs of all time against the best Terrans in the world on bad Zerg maps?
