The biggest difference here is the difference in tournament time. There's a fuckton GSLs, which means a year of SC2 dominance is basically like 2+ years of BW dominance.
This without considering BW has always been a much more competitive environment, and that MVP went to code A, very uncharacteristic of a Bonjwa.
So no, he's not there yet, and he's not closing it yet either. Be it Bonjwa or whatever word you want to use.

MVP on the other hand, an ex-BW player, has been dominating for nearly a year. I can see why people would throw around the B word when describing him. they are all "ex-BW" players but their top forms are like years ago. the players right now in BW are currently are on a different level. MVP should be peaking in BW had he not switched. It's reasonable to assume so with his improved game before the switch and qualifying for starleague
That's pretty true. He was uping his game quite fast right before the switch.

To me, it's kind of BM to pull back and wait to rape someone like he did, embarrassing him like a little child who knew no better. He was clearly not playing on MVP's level, and MVP should've had the courtesy to win gracefully like the champ he is.
No MVP puleld back because of the flanking Zerglings. He(MVP was in no position to finish the game that quickly) He made the right call, he already had made enough damage

Why do I get the feeling that, while the first posts about MVP being bonjwa were "serious", people who are saying it now are just trolling you guys?

Did you not read all the complaints about MVP not playing out a long macro game for the finals? He did it because he knew he could win and figured he'd put on a show. Would people have rathered him win in 8 minutes?

A big reason why many of the old guards are so hesitant to label someone bonjwa is because the game is still too new. Bonjwa was first used as a nickname for JulyZerg, and this was a couple years into the game (read: more than one). The game has not equilibriated itself yet, and patches are still far too frequent, compared to BW. Aside from that fact, if we were to give ForGG as much time as Mvp, we would see a much greater level of dominance.
NaDa, BoxeR, and July had their bonjwa terms years ago (save July, never a true bonjwa). They all do not practice with the same relentless drive as they did back in BW. They're also much older than Mvp, and do not have the same availability of time as Mvp.

I remember him saying once that bonjwa is just something a person says about themselves, as in "I am a good player".
Yeah, he said the west put too much value on the title bonjwa. The zerg that shall not be named is the only bonjwa bw actually had, Flash is god.

Game of imperfect information. Mvp did not see the lings you can see with full map vision so he had to make a guess of how large the counter attack could be. Better safe then sorry is what he decided to do and in this instance he might have been able to keep pushing.

Undeniable
He's been top since i started playing this damn game ages ago, and my bro showed me one of his games and even then he was considered tops, and hes the only one til now to still be consistently up at the top while all the others like mkp fell off.

MVP went to Code A once, and got to the Code A finals and back into Code S immediately. Even Flash gets knocked out of OSL/MSL early sometimes.
