No. He is not. No one in SC2 should be associated with that word. Except for NaDa and BoxeR.
Why should nada and boxer be associated with the word bonjwa, and MC not, when MC has dwarfed their acclompishments in SC2?
Because MC is not a bonjwa. I don't know why BoxeR or NaDa should be considered bonjwas, but MC is not a bonjwa either, simply because he has never "dominated" in every single tournament he has participated in for a long period of time. Even NesTea should be considered as much as a bonjwa as MC, given the fact that they hold the same amount of GSL-titles.
edit: To clarify, bonjwa is an overused term to define a player who shows complete and utter dominance, a player who is without a shadow of a doubt "the best" at their prime. NaDa and BoxeR were very good at broodwar. Each has dominated the scene at his prime. That's why they're called bonjwas.
MC/nestea etc would have to win about half the GSLs to be considered a bonjwa IMO. Game right now is too erratic and no clear dominate player is emerged let alone a bonjwa.

It's not only GSL titles that count.
Dreamhack and Copenhagen Games should count too, no?
