Not dominant, not bonjwa. I mean july has a fucking golden mouse and hes still not considered bonjwa. Bisu would have to not only win the OSL, but show the dominance both inside and outside the OSL that he showed in the tiebreakers.
Did you bother to read the post before you post your useless junk?

You guys can argue all day about if Bisu's gonna be the next Bonjwa or not but the cold hard truth is if he doesn't win this OSL noone will ever be Bonjwa. Players are now so skilled that it's hard for 1 guy to totally dominate the scene.

i will admit that that level of dominance is something that's not easily quantified. which is probably why it is so disputed. however, we can just look at his records vs some of the top players from the last year:
vs jaedong: 1-3
vs flash: 4-6
vs leta: 1-1
vs jangbi: 6-3
vs stork: 5-2
vs forgg: 0-2
vs mind: 2-0
vs july: 2-1
vs luxury: 1-2
(from 02/25/08 - 02/25/09 in TLPD)
the list goes on. yes, u can say i just chose random players, but i think we can both agree that those are some of the best players in the last year in starcraft. if bisu were truly bonjwa status, he would have dominant records vs these players. but he does not, especially against his main competitors, jaedong and flash. in anticipation of the "but bisu's been destroying everyone for the past few months" argument, let's remind ourselves that a true bonjwa has a long period of dominance. if bisu continues his current trend for a few more months, then maybe he will be considered a bonjwa. but at this point in time? no

But I suppose that's just because I respect other SC fans, and considering this is such a small community, I'd rather get along with everyone rather than lump a group of people into a negative category just because I dislike the way they cheer for their favorite player.
That's a great sentiment. I respect you for thinking like that.

How would you categorize Bisu and FirebatHero's record against Savior? Is it all about statistic? I certainly hope not..

Btw, one doesn't need to suck sAviOr's dick in order to think that Bisu's not bonjwa. I'm a huge Bisu fan but Bisu just doesn't have the same aura and dominance that the previous bonjwas had and my "fanboyism" isn't going to make me think he does. Bisu is damn good, but not a bonjwa. In this day and age, it'll be a rare sight to see a bonjwa emerge amongst such a good playing field.

it's not, and that's why i said that dominance is hard to quantify. that is merely my best attempt to statistically demonstrate that bisu is not dominant over jaedong, flash, and other players over the past year. while statistics can be a good indicator, they don't show what happened during the games (how close they were or how well the players performed). i think you have a misunderstanding concerning savior. nobody is suggesting (seriously at least) that savior is as dominant as he was during his reign. no bonjwa is as dominant as they were during their respective reign. that doesn't stop them from being a bonjwa.

Agree 100%.
Every single Sport or eSport in the early ages has periods of domination but as time passes and skill level grows all-around it's really hard for one player/team to really stand-out.
Just take a look at Soccer: World Cups 40 years ago had teams that were completely unable to beat some of the most famous teams but nowadays "upsets" are just much more common.

Bah, this discussion is pointless since bisu will get his ass kicked out of OSL soon anyway...

ELO peak is inflationary, in large part because the players are better. Iloveoov had a stronger period of dominance than bisu, of that there can be no doubt. To be fair fusionsdf; do you consider oov to be a bonjwa? Becuase July raped him silly prior to oovs OSL win. Namely in the Gillette semis (2-3) and in iTv - twice. So yea, Oov got manhandled by July quite regularly. Savior was held back by Chojja as well - namely how he got raped in CYON.
But all of that doesn't really matter. Once the Bonjwa enters Bonjwa mode (after winning their 3rd MSL until they win their OSL) there are no more players to hold them back. Prior to this they can lose games to weird people and the top tier, and can never truly be distinguished as the elite. However once in this stage nothing stands in their way - and Jaedong, nor Flash, are going to be able to stop Bisu.
EDIT: after reading further it does seem that you have ignored all of savior's "reign" until the last part of his reign. Remember that savior looked VERY mortal against Midas in the MSL semifinal as well - so much so that he should have lost the 4th game (but midas is the epic game 4 choke artist).
Oh and to all the people saying there will never be another bonjwa. Well, assuming SC doesn't die out, there will be another one. Who it will be I don't know; but what I do know is that people were saying there would be no more bonjwa's after Savior and look what we have here  .

Great read, I think if we end up with a Bisu v Jaedong finals for the Bonjwa title, it will be supremely epic.

Thanks for the article. I think the epoch of the domination is not over yet so "go Bisu".

Exactly,
Depends on how you interperate bonjwadom. Some people consider it a certain level of dominance for some arbitrary period of time. As much of a fanboy I am, I doubt bisu will ever meet this criteria. His play is inherently risky, it's the risk he is willing to take, and the subsequent pressure he is able to perform under that makes him so successful.
But with this inherent risk means he will drop games randomly, why? because thats what risk is. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't.
Some people interperate it as a certain number of titles, in which case he may very well eventually meet the criteria for.
In the end does it matter? There is no objective measure for being bonjwa, you can only express YOUR OPINION of what bonjwa is and whether or not he is one. But you are not the person who decides whether or not someone is bonjwa because they meet your arbitrary opnion on what makes bonjwa, noone cares what you think, history will eventually be the judge.
In the mean time why not just enjoy the excitement that his risky playstyle brings?
