EPTJaedong barely beat Bisu in his Bo5, is 2-2 with Flash in recent games, and played a close OSL final with Fantasy.
He's doing great, but I wouldn't say he's close to bonjwa with so many other great players out there.
Can we call Jaedong the 5th Bonjwa? - Page 2

I love how he conveniently overlooks stuff like Chojja beating Savior in a MSL in the midst of his "bonjwa domination." He's trying to make it sound like JD needs 100% winrate against everyone or something. Stupid argument imo. Savior was actually not considered a bonjwa at this time. People only recognized Savior as a Bonjwa AFTER savior beat Nada in OSL. And yes, indeed his ZvsZ was his weak matchup, until he went to the MSL Finals again to disprove that, beating Silver. At the time nobody "seemed" like they could beat SAvior. | ||

If there is a doubt, he is not bonjwa. Goddamnit. Closing this unless someone convinces me there is possibility of discussion in this thread. These bonjwa threads are retarded. If someone becomes bonjwa, there will be no need for a thread declaring him as such. I don't remember sAviOr becoming bonjwa or iloveoov becoming bonjwa threads -_- | ||

Although, something that shocked me about sAviOr was the sheer amount of games he dropped. Though this is probably due to a lighter emphasize on proleague where Savior could rape scrubs, he was taken to the limit in many Bo5s but always prevailed for the most part. | ||

Even what was known to be Savior's weakest match up ZvsZ was proven wrong when Savior beat s.s.mSilver, the "gambler". All in all, it can be said at the time, there was simply NO pro gamer out there who was able to beat Savior. What? Because he beat an average zvzer? wtf terrible reasoning | ||

Savior was a bonjwa not only because of his amazing records, but because anyone who actually stood a chance against him... stood no chance against him. Jaedong, however, still loses, not regularly, but he does, to bisu and flash, etc. Despite his amazing record, he can not be bonjwa yet. | ||

Think back to when the real bonjwa were in their prime. There was probably a 99.5% consensus on who the best player was at the time. And while many people would say jaedong now, its nothing likt it was with say, NaDa. And even if we do get that high rate of consensus, which maybe Bisu came close to or Jaedong is close to now, theres more to it. That player has to be a a level above everyone else. His games should be awe inspiring to the point that every game is unbelieable to watch. If Jaedong became as dominant at his other matchups as his ZvZ, and held this position for a significant amount of time, then the possibility exists. But to say he is bonwja now, well thats just foolish. P.S. Personally, I do not think another Bonjwa will arise before SC2. The game is too figured out(although people have said this for years) and the level of competition is too high. | ||

Thats all I have to say to this thread, and all the other 1209381029487 threads that say that someone is the next bonjwa. (unless of course it is Upmagic or Leta or Horang2 or hyvaa or Really being called a bonjwa (man that would be the day))... | ||

Thanks for the translation! Edit: btw, for those mentioning it: Winning x MSLs, then losing one then winning an OSL has nothing to do with the term Bonjwa. Was merely an aspect all of the players had gone through that was mentioned by the writer of that thread; he even stated that fact in his thread to avoid confusion. The Bonjwa title does not correspond in any fashion to that progression. | ||
