Lies, Effort didn't deny Flash bonjwa status. Flash denied himself bonjwa status. Why 13cc D: D: D: FML.

But I'm still critical of your article! Surely that means you lump me in with the regular masses!

savior fans have effort, boxer fans have fantasy, oov fans have flash (sort of), nada fans have baby, all with their little quirks that make them so similar. bisu needs a little brother, a mini-bisu on skt or his slump is going to kill his fans.


Very interesting, I'd never thought about players like Nada and Baby like that. But when you point it out, it does make sense. Oh, and even though I'm not particularly fond of Bisu, a mini-Bisu would be pretty cool.

Congratulations to Effort on the win.

There is now a contest for the #1 zerg spot.

Really ?
No, really ?
I'm sorry, CJ fanboys, but I still like sAviOr way more than EffOrt. His play was inspiring. I see nothing of his spark here, just Flash being nervous, and failing at mind games, while game 2 clearly showed he did not need to try his luck. Nerves I'd say.
For me Jaedong is still miles ahead, and I think he would be the more favoured player by far against anyone.
Very good battle reports though, and I did appreciate the article, even if I don't agree with some parts =)

Somebody has to say it:

I'm a Flash fan, seems like a good kid from what I can see.

But what player of his caliber goes 13 CC in the final match of the OSL championship on a two player map.

It is not sacrilege to suggest the possibility that - with the understanding that the future of Korean SC and Kespa now in doubt, and the possibility of the country going to war, the kid decided to follow his friends and fix the finals for a hefty sum.

Although nobody wants to entertain this, he might be thinking about his future and the future of his family and decided to take the cash.

13 CC? C'mon ...

.
If its not fun I dont want it.

If I was trying to throw a match I probably wouldn't utilize incredible game sense (game 1) or claw my way back to win a game from a bad position (game 2), then go for a build that gives me a huge advantage if successful (game 5).

You gotta be kidding me.

[*]The Flash Bonjwa theory is dead. Die-hard followers of this school will continue to try and spread its teachings, but their discredited words will now go largely unheeded. Flash will have to be content with being merely “the best player in world.”


Damn, if this could only be publicized in the MSL Grand Finals thread. Don't understand why people are still trying to anoint him as bonjwa. Get oh so defensive when I simply try to suggest that Flash is the best player, but he's not bonjwa level.
God Bless

Bonjwas lost starleague finals and random games too bro, it's ok...

I couldn't care less if they call him a bonjwa or not (I'm just a bitter protoss player/fan and it's not like my race is good enough to ever produce one), but the comparison to others is completely valid IMO.

I don't think the players themselves care as much as we (the fans) do about the bonjwa theory. The word has been brought up in several interviews and I recall at least Jaedong saying he doesn't want to be called that. Perhaps they're more content with their unique (and cool... I think) nicknames like "The Ultimate Weapon // God of Terran" and "Tyrant".

Remember when Savior won dual finals? Oh that's right, it never happened.

I guess he wasn't a bonjwa.

I can't help but hate Effort's face, he looks like an ugly elf.

Still, he beat Flash, something that

The Flash bonjwa theory is far from dead wax! Watch him dual final for the third consecutive season

Yea I mean, Oov got trounced by July, Savior lost to Yooi and stuff etc. Even if Flash won I doubt we would be calling him a bonjwa just yet. One more season to go imo.

Really nice write-up but I gotta give a big ol "wtf" to the whole flash b word is dead. That's something I disagree with completely. No he's not at that level yet but to call it dead is premature. I doubt he's going to pull a mass slump anytime soon and he's certainly has the playstyle and go for it attitude.

Sorry. It is well known that B players in their prime won every single tournament they participated in.
