Anyone else notice how not too long ago the question everyone was asking was is it JD or Bisu that is the GOAT/bonjwa? And a while before that a similar question was posed, "Is it JD or Flash?" and now... again that same question is being asked. I have a feeling that whoever is the "best" at the moment, he will most likely be compared with JD to see who's the best. That said, I think flash will beat JD, and that Bisu will be back sooner or later.


The common factor here is Jaedong, btw. It's almost always "Who's Jaedong's closest competition?" Jaedong is the bar that no one else has really passed, yet, and while the skill differential isn't as massive between Jaedong and his peers as it is between the past Bonjwas and their peers, Jaedong's taken that small differential and dominated the scene as hard or harder than the bonjwas.

If someone doesn't thoroughly and uncompromisingly dethrone him as truly his better/rival (Since Flash and Bisu and Stork only beat him in sparse displays and end up failing the overall scene that Jaedong dominates) then he'll probably go down as the last greatest player once BW fades off/gets replaced.


This is totally true, good thing Flash is going to smash him on Friday.

I shit talk for fun... I love JD and am mostly just happy to watch such a great game.

He's not playing "Great" in proleague. Beating Turn is fine and all but he's dropped games to Haksoo and Stork.

Both leagues down, mediocre performance in PL -- Bisu is looking like a slumper more and more.

I don`t know man, hes still 9-3 in PL, hardly what I would call mediocre especially considering his losses. Yeah hes loss vs Lux was bad, but his loss vs haksoo was a straight up BO loss (haksoo cut so many corners that game it was crazy, and Bisu played a pretty safe build that would leave him pretty secure vs anything but the type of build haksoo used, the equivalent of a 12h vs 9p) and while he did get soundly outplayed by Stork, Stork is his biggest rival and playing some of his finest StarCraft ever these days so no shame losing to him.

I know it sounds kind of lame with excuses like this, but really beside his bad play vs Shine and losing the shuttle like a retard vs Guemchi (in a game he a firm grip on until that) there ain`t much suggesting that his skills are deteriorating severely, on the bright side he dug himself out of some big holes vs Turn and CrazyHydra. Yeah hes not playing his best BW these days and are making some sloppy mistakes here and there, with the occasional BO loss also, but far from slumping or having worse mechanics or anything like that which would lower his skills. That`s not to say he shouldn't get a serious drop in the PR tho, because he should but I expect him to start raping shit again soon

Zero was such in a good position to get into top3, but now he starts losing again.

Streaky zerg indeed.

You could make an argument that he's better than Stork based on the still-in-both-leagues thing. That would make him #3 pretty much. And he might beat Stork head-to-head, too, although Stork's PvZ is beautiful atm.

how is masszela beautiful? No, i dont think Stork's PvZ is beautiful, he usually just masses a tone of unit or/and expands a lot. Back in the day of andromeda he did cute corsair reaver into carrier stuff, nowadays i like him more than i used to previously, but not because his PvZ looks pretty.

Well effort is a given , even thought he loses a lot of ZvZ this days . Movie should probably make PR or CBNC at worse . Skyhigh has a long way to go ... unless winnersleague is coming and he rapes in it .

Looking forward to you having to drop Bisu way down. Out of both leagues before Ro16 -> GG. Then again, I guess I should expect him at 3. - 4. spot with a "Bisu's Bisu and Bisu is gud" ^_^

JD vs Flash Bo3 will most likely determine the #1 and #2 spots.

Wow, with the success Flash has had, if he continues his TvZ success, he could be #1 for a few months to come. He is quite the monster. Seriously, he has had ridiculous streaks in 2 of his matchups.

It depends on how well he performs in the late stages of group play moreso than how long his streak lasts.

To be fair, if his streak lasted an entire season, then those two kind of coincide!

Shame there's almost no terrans in the MSL and none in the OSL. This is honestly looking like the hardest shot Flash has at a title because he has almost no way of playing his cinch match up.
