Haters gonna hate, I'm not even gonna bother reading most of the posts in this thread.
I've kind of been thinking about the same questions after this whole fiasco...is this it? Considering Flash only earned the title of bonjwa after his dual Starleague win a few months ago, is this already the end of his reign? It seems improbable but possible. You can never lose the title of bonjwa once you have earned it.

There's actually hardly any hate here. Just people experiencing gladness that BW is still competitive.

Also, Flash has not officially been called Bonjwa by the Koreans yet. Both him and JD have the "requirements" to be called that, but being called bonjwa is something more than statistics. It has a lot to do with "power" and the extent & period of dominance and also a special characteristic that sets him apart as not just a progamer but something more.
Yeah, the koreans jokingly say he is God but we all know that being called bonjwa is a title not lightly bestowed.Noone has officially called him Bonjwa for the very same reason that JD during the Season of the Swarm wasn't called Bonjwa.
If absolute dominance lasts for only a single season/year then it is easy for the nay-sayers to point maps out as the reason for the dominance. However when the ABSOLUTE dominance is shown over new map-pools(e.g:Savior-Who dominated even during clearly unfavourable maps) then the case for bonjwa-ness becomes much stronger.
IMO, if Flash had shown the extent of dominance that he had shown last year this time, It would have been clear as day that the 5th Bonjwa has emerged. But no. Not yet....


What the heck are you talking about ? DES released an article after he beat Jaedong in MSL/OSL straight up calling him the 5th Bonjwa. At the same time many translators in TL confirmed that the Korean started to call him god and they generally accepted that he's bonjwa. The same happened in the foreign community with almost everyone accepted his bonjwa status and his name was added to the "bonjwa" page in liquipedia (look even a crazy Bisu/SKT fan like me accepted it). It's just common knowledge and confirmed fact that Flash is the 5th Bonjwa, but how long will he keep that title is another question.

I would suggest you ask ground-zero Korean fans whether THEY consider Flash as a Bonjwa. None of my Korean friends consider him as Bonjwa inspite of what random interviewers may say. Also the Liquipedia article has been edited.
Ask any Korean and they will tell you that if Flash had shown the same domination this year on unfavored maps then he wud have been 100% called Bonjwa, but not yet...
Also, you don't lose the title bonjwa once you gain it. Its something that will never leave you even if the AI beats you later on in life!

The first stork vs fantasy was so epic, because one of them would break the curse xD

I think Jvfantasy stork or bisu would be really epic though, that would be my final of choice =3

Again you start with Flash on imba maps... Let's take a look at some race stats from his individual runs:

2009 EVER OnGameNet Starleague
TvZ: 14-18 (43.8%)
PvT: 15-13 (53.6%)

2009 NATE MBCGame Starleague
TvZ: 17-15 (53.1%)
PvT: 8-9 (47.1%)

2010 Korean Air OnGameNet StarLeague
TvZ: 27-23 (54%)
PvT: 13-12 (52%)

2010 Hana Daetoo Securities MSL
TvZ: 14-7 (66.7%)
PvT: 9-13 (40.9%)

2010 Bigfile MSL
TvZ: 22-19 (53.7%)
PvT: 4-10 (28.6%)

2010 Korean Air OnGameNet StarLeague Season 2
TvZ: 17-17 (50%)
PvT: 15-17 (46.9%)

Total:
TvZ: 111-99 (52.85%)
PvT: 64-74 (46.37%)

Now how did Flash do in all these tournies?

TvZ: 29-13 (69.05%)
TvP: 18-3 (85.71%)

Now how did the rest of the terrans do in these tournies?


TvZ: 82-86 (48.81%)
PvT: 61-56 (52.13%)

Clearly the maps were imba because other terrans not Flash did soooo well.

Serious, I want to see Flash in SC2 scene!! I am so positive his skill will make it so different. So much difference...

Maybe they are 2 different game, some concept is different but I still belive he will be so much much better than others! I believe in... GOD! ahaaaa kekekeke.

Such pity, sometimes I am daydreaming is is SC2 pro. And he won GSL 1 GSL 2 GSL 3. And now is rich guy . I mean rich god.

And all other players give up, because god is in the competitive seen. How mortal compete against god? No... u cannot!

Ah... kekekeke I will go crazy.

Agh.. Flash nooo!! Now for me it must be, Jaedong, or maybe Bisu who wins this thing. I would be very happy if Bisu won.
I have an announcement to make, "Moo!" That is all.

Don't worry, it is not abnormal in this very tournament, because Flash's tvt is not very dominant, for his game style is very normal and natural with no one in his eyes, so vulture could do much harm to his eyes. In OSL, the map directly result in his lose to kal. Flash is still the strongest and the talent.

In upcoming winner-league, I think Flash will crush down every team with at least 5 all kill and then get at least 30wins. In next msl, he still could directly get into mst, and still in the osl 36r, that's enough, as long as he is not left into the hell netbar, he still a god.

I can't believe someone removed Flash from the Bonjwa page when official sources confirmed his status. (in many interviews)

Q With this victory, you’ve risen to Bonjwa status.
A Receiving a title like that is quite an honor but compared to the players who rose to that level before, I think I’m still lacking. Though it’s nice if fans call me that, I still think “Ultimate Weapon” is better and more appropriate for me right now.

It's just stupid that we decide that he is not Bonjwa because SushilS asked 1 no-name Korean (he said that in the liquidpedia page) and the guy didn't think that he is Bonjwa while professional analyzers and the media has already confirmed his status.

Funny how he disappeared after I showed that his only leg to stand on ("imba maps") fell through. It's sad that he would go to liquipedia and remove Flash and act as if someone else did it.
