Hurray for being wrong :D Same here. I thought "you must be kidding me; one win and the Fantasy bandwagon already set off". But I am still shocked how easily Bisu went down last night. Shocking... | ||

OMGOMGOMG ITS DA END OF PEEPL TALKIN BOUT BISU BEING SOME ARBITRARY SLANG WORD LOL PRAISE THA LAWD being considered "bonjwa" is not some arbitrary slang word, its about the most difficult and honorful to achieve nickname for a pro... only 4 people ever had it and nobody has had it since 2007. Its about the same as these "grandmaster" titles in chess or smth, only that the criteria to be "bonjwa" are not as clearly defined as grandmaster in chess is. But still, the fact that the SC community is widely in agreeance to call boxer/nada/savior/oov bonjwa shows you the term "bonjwa" has its right. People will see when a new bonjwa turns up (if a bonjwa ever turns up again) and call him that and only a very small portion of antifans will disagree. | ||

I think what matters is how the opening poster said "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". Look, I'll be the first to admit that the talk will have to be put away for a while until Bisu can start winning consecutive championships. But the anti-Bisu/Bonjwa hate is out of proportion. Having a 'Bonjwa' or best of everyone is always a good thing for any sport. With Jordan in the NBA, Tiger in golf, Gretzky/Lemieux in hockey, their success made their respective sports that much more appealing to people. Were Bisu to become the next Bonjwa, his skill coupled with his good looks would create a wonderful opportunity for Starcraft to grow, especially outside of Korea as the release of SC2 approaches. The fact that many people here wanted Bisu to fail so much demonstrates a lack of foresight. | ||

 Bisu was at the top of FakeSteve`s Power Rank for 7 months (technically 8, but I do not count the 8th since that is when he was defeated by  Mind). Does that count?(Warning! OSL spoiler ahead) + Show Spoiler + While I wanted Bisu to become a Bonjwa, I think he might have just wasted his chance by losing to fantasy. While that does not necessarilly mean he cannot still become Bonjwa, I just do not think he will have enough time to establish himself as one before the scene starts to switch to SC2, which leaves me quite dissapointed. | ||
