Gosh. That he was in DECENT position, and there was only one game vs zerg
that lasted longer than 15 minutes which flash lost during more than the half year period.
And I'll add here that You should not place terran bonjwas and zerg bonjwa together, hm.

You didn't say anything about only taking the most recent 71 games. Also, why 71? Seems a rather arbitrary number chosen specifically to create the highest possible win percentage.

It is since flash became bonjwa not since he was 15 year old shaking with fear kid, or wasted reflexes grandpa, that was what for we both were pointing out that lifetime record doesnt say anything, so Wtf? O_o

It's paragraphs like this that really tell me you have no idea what you're talking about and didn't understand what I was saying in my article.

Put simply, bonjwa's dominated by being on a different level of competition to those around them. Flash and Jaedong consistently win by (generally) executing things perfectly on a consistent basis.

Your protestations about Flash's high win percentage and "loosing many m&m's on purpose" are immaterial, and do nothing to advance the crux of your argument. Your argument is that "Flash dominates the scene in every single bit similiar way to how Iloveoov was dominating it". Demonstrate this to be the case, or find something else to occupy your time.


Goddamnit, I don't have time for full response, so I'll try to make it short. At the very begining of Starcraft, there were few workers, and they were making building and units and fight each other, and that was what we saw on the screen, amazingly microed wins that were the road to walk on for many years, but then the game started to grow and new macro-orientated tactics emerged, from 3-hatch before spawning pool to 14 cc, and since like year, when flash or jaedong are playing we no longer see workers, buildings or units but pure spirits clashing their mental blades.


Hope that helps xD

P.S. Fischer was bonjwa.
P.S. 2 You are so sure it wasn't just streak of bad form for july that
one hundred milion games won vs Zerg by oov You bastard, aren't You? xDl

wow, nice article.

I agree that there will be no longer any bonwjas, because the level of play has risen sooooo quick that all it comes down is to sheer mechanincs because mind haves are almost all set

Ah very nice article. for a good read. I see the same kind of change in a game like UT. Back in the days of GiTzZz` he was considered the pinnacle of skill, nowadays most top players would steamroll him.
I just love video games, what's your excuse?

I'm fully in agreement with you that there are many parallels between iloveoov and flash. At the same time, as I explained in the article, I feel the way each player stacked up impressive winstreaks is very different.

ok, let's leave differences and similarities, though there are plenty of both

You really think all progamers will move on to sc2
along with all sponsors and leagues, and sc will die?

To me it's unimaginable. It will not be a slow process neither. It just won't happen.

Here and now I state as fallows:

1. Neither Jeadong, nor Flash, nor Stork will ever play sc2 on pro scene.
There are many reasons to it and first is no or lower money for playing sc2.

2. It will take few years before progaming, even worldwide in sc2 will achieve
level of sc in korea at present, but personally I think it will never happen.

Goodnight and good luck.

PS

sorry for building of sentences, in my language it all makes sense :D

Not to mention his 27-0 TvZ streak.

I'd say thats pretty untouchable as things go.


Flash's overall record is better and his TvT streak came very close. I don't see why you're using this photo to demonstrate oov's superior dominance when Flash's record surpasses this.

I posted the photo in response to a claim that the bonjwa's of the past were not as untouchable as people like to think. I think the photo addresses this claim well, iloveoov was pretty untouchable in his prime.

Now, nowhere have I claimed that oov's dominance was superior to Flash. I refer you to my article:

Despite their indisputable domination of the Broodwar scene, you can see now that those at the top of Power Rank these days are not ‘bonjwas’. The time of the bonjwa, at least as TeamLiquid has defined the word, has come and gone. Call those who remain what you will; they are something different, something more.

Saw this a while back when I was a lurker, and didn't read it.
Now I have (thanks to the earlier bump), and I can say that it was definitely not a waste of time.
It was a good read.

I wish that SC2's success didn't have to mean the inevitable decay of the Broodwar scene, but times change, and this really put it all in perspective for me. Great article though...

All of them ment. Man. I am so upset right now. Will there be a sponsor to next ??? MSL?
