for those of us not familiar, can someone explain who the 5 are? bananas is oov (ape reference), emperor is boxer, coin flipper is savior (scandal reference?), traveler is nada? (not sure of the reference). dagger assassin is... (not sure, bisu? savior killer?)


yes, scandal reference, his gold watches and everything..
traveler = nada, aka tornado terran
bisu is the korean word for dagger.(he took down savior in the msl finals and was supposed to be the next bonjwa)


nice article, even though I find "flashius" and "jaedos" a bit cheesy ^^
btw. wouldnt thumbing down mean they are to die? Pretty sure it would



Ohhh, I see. Didn't think of tornado terran. Thanks to everyone who replied. Makes a lot more sense to me now.

Very nice read! The story was a wee bit cheesy at times, but also quite funny. Coin flipper, lol.

Loved all the references, especially the Blizzard one and the Tornado Terran one. I also like how Tornado Terran's entrance was foreshadowed in the previous installment. The naming conversions for Nada and Savior threw me off a bit because Boxer and Oov were named after their Korean names. How exactly were the names Nathenos and Ichthys derived?

Also cheesy!
NaDa + Athena + male form, since NaDa is the genius Terran after all.
Ichthys is just straight up sAviOr in Greek. If you want to add some meaning that I didn't plan on having to it, you can also say that sAviOr was... fishy.

Also whoops roommate gets credit for title since I suck at thinking of them.

nice article but i believe the gladiator thing was more roman then greek, and the thumb has to go up for the life of the defeated to be spared


Incorrect, the thumbs down meant that the gladiator had his life spared. Common misconception.


thumbs up was for coup de grace

yes this is roman, and i pointed this out to him

but you know EVERYONE wants GLADIATOR FIGHTS and GREEK MYTHOLOGY so oops he just smorgasborged them together

Shhh it's because the Greeks had cooler names and the Romans had the frickin' Colosseum.

Oh and also you were right when you said that the thumb thing would cause some consternation.

haha too bad modern day Greece is in the shit hole right now.

They should hire Flash as finance minister.


LOL so good.

Flamewheel, awesome job. Had me laughing my guts out at the references (lol savior, oov-smash-married)

And fucking epic, since you made the camaradrie between Jaedong and Flash seem so promising.
They should just start a Proleague team by themselves. And buy any random Protoss over to fill in

Lol. I laughed pretty damn hard. But flash isn't a bonjwa in my eyes. He lost to effort in a terrible series.

I don't think this article is calling Flash a bonjwa; actually I think it's saying the opposite. The way I see it, he was stopped from becoming a bonjwa by the fans (citizens), and it's true that the fans are the ones who officially crown people as bonjwas, no matter what the standards are.
And so, we find the Sublime.

If only the MSL was half as epic as the writeup. Three bo wins. Well, Jaedos has himself to blame for not going 9 pools speed three times in a row. (That would have sucked equally bad).
