you can't have a clear-cut bonjwa in an era where there are (at least) three top players capable of beating any other player. Bisu has made his case for being called one of the greatest players ever, but he simply can't be a bonjwa, not in this era.

Well, as long as you haven't seen him doing it, you can't be sure that he really know how to do it.

I wonder who's dominated the longest if you disregard the actual time, and focus only on the amount of games. Coz time means nothing if you don't play games.

How about we start talking about how Jaedong is going to be the next Bonjwa instead. It's pretty clear after beating the fake protoss Bonjwa he's going to be back better than ever. Subjectivity anyone?

Maybe not as many SL titles (he has three compared to four), but he does have more gold medals and silver medals than Bisu does. And I'm pretty sure the original post was sarcasm. -.-

All-time winning percentage:
Jaedong: 66.78%
Bisu: 63.19%

Months number1 at Kespa:
Bisu: 5 (2 in a row)
Jaedong: 4 (4 in a row)

It really is nonsense to suggest Bisu is a Bonjwa.
He's undoubtedly one of the greatest players of all time, but that's all.

Your fanboyism has blinded you to other players stats, like Flash and Jaedong... which are quite frankly just as good if not better.

That's the crux of my post. You can't simply call a player who's playing well a Bonjwa. If you did, the title would be "current best player" instead.

The "ridiculousness" that you think about calling Jaedong a Bonjwa demonstrates my point. There has been little, if any, discussion about him being a Bonjwa even though he has very similar accomplishments. In fact, he just beat Bisu in a straight up Bo5.

In my opinion, Bonjwa is a title given to a player that has a long enough period of dominance to prove that he is better than all the other players. It is not simply given to a player who is just playing well. As many have said, "You don't need to ask if he's a Bonjwa." This is accepted as true because everyone will agree once a player is a Bonjwa, not just fanboys of his race.

Bisu will have to keep this up for at least another 5 months for me to start to consider it.

Even if Bisu did win the series there would have been a lot of people still saying he isn't Bonjwa. People would have made random excuses to why he isn't if he won, and now people are making random excuses as to why he isn't because he lost.

This match was not going to decide if he was bonjwa or not, one match never does. A bonjwa must prove himself over an extended period of time not over one game. Now this loss does not help him in his quest to become bonjwa as he made a couple of blaring mistakes. IMHO it is really ignorant to take mistakes from ONE game and use that as proof that he isn't bonjwa material. Every pro gamer losses, no one has a 100% winning percentage. Hopefully he will be able to take the mistakes he made from this loss and improve on them.

I hope to see a OSL final rematch as that last game had soo much build up to it and it ended in such a "weak" fashion.
