Like yoou never really have to engage directly with mutas they are faster than pretty much anything terran has and their is always gonna be holes somewhere in your base or your army positioning where they can do damage. With someone who has good muta control its pretty hard to stop =/



This. I wanna see at least some games where the terran corners mutas and really own them. Atm it's more or less only badly control mutas that die, nothing can catch up or really catch them.

Just watch sC vs DRG.
The best counter to muta harass is force the zerg to use his muta in defense, like sC did.


Yeah and SC lost the seriest. I really don't see where you are going with this. Do it like SC and lose guys!

He did lose 3-2, winning 2 games where the zerg massed mutas. So it's totally relevant.

Because it ruins the term. He's nowhere near the status and it's generally stupid. Like shouting "OHH new bonjwa" whenever Flash loses a game in BW.
If you start going all "OOOH DRG for bonjwa" and he starts losing to a player, then by following the same logic you should go all "OOOOOH [whoever beats DRG] for bonjwa" and if he has a normal win/loss-rate, there would be alot of bonjwas, which is against the concept.
That is why shouting bonjwa whenever a player starts rising with an unorthodox style is stupid. It just needs to get figured out, or be concluded to be unfair (like 5-rax reaper).

Every time I've watched Dongraegu, his mutalisk control and use seems a little lacklustre (in comparison to others). People saying he's better than NesTea really have no idea what they're talking about, sure he slipped up in his series against TOP, but DRG slipped up against MMA and SC. The difference between the two is that NesTea managed to crawl his way back in one set, while DRG's mistake eventually spiralled out of control.

NesTea has inventive builds and an exceptional macro style, DRG is edging towards the latter, but is not there yet.

The games today show that SlayerS cannot rely on their dominant Terran force, and pit them against a player known for his spectacular ZvT, unless they were conceited enough to think it would work, but somehow I doubt it. Perhaps they thought MMA would have a chance because of last season, then again, DRG was ahead for the majority of that game and the slip-up reversed it.
Hmmm

Well, I disagree. I can't see how it's "ruining" the term. To me, shouting "X for bonjwa!" in the midst of hype, isn't any different from shouting "X is fucking amazing!". I think people should stop taking commentaries like "X for bonjwa" so seriously, in most cases, it's just someone who thinks the player is really really good. It's not like I'll stop appreciating how good BW bonjwas were just because the term is being used more loosely. I believe the term "bonjwa" is still exactly the same, and will always be, in the right context.

EDIT: Small clarification.

About DRG, I'd say his TvZ is better than Nestea, but overall it's impossible to know.
And it's not like he's pure hype, last GSTL he was damn impressive, and he confirmed again today and in LG3D finals. Just seems to be weak in ZvP. He said his ZvZ is good, but we don't know really.
I can't imagine DRG losing to TOP for instance, but overall I think Nestea is better because he has no real weak matchup, just one matchup (ZvT) that is not as good as the others.

Yeah, but a Bonjwa requires a long period of dominance. A small period of performing well, or being excellent at one match up isn't not enough to call a player the next bonjwa. Especially when the player has done nothing spectacular 3 months later when they're style doesn't work so well any more.

If we watched Inca beat every top Protoss and that was the only match up we ever saw him play, people would call him the next bonjwa. For we all know DRG has mediocre ZvZ (I doubt it, but its possible). Would people still be saying that if we found out it was true over the next couple of weeks?

Even if his ZvZ is good enough, he's not that dominant in ZvT. He's probably the best, at the moment, but its not like he's run over every top Terran he's played. MMA beat him the first time they played, after DRG had a fairly hefty lead. He only beat sC 3-2 and he's yet to play Bomber, MVP or any of the oGs Terrans. I'd say its too early to even say he's going to win a code s.

First of all, I'm not saying DRG is a bonjwa. Secondly, the word "slut" has some extremely negative connotations, completely the opposite to "bonjwa". That's not a valid example, if you ask me. When I use "bonjwa" loosely, like I did, I mean to associate the player with the connotations of the word to some extent. I could easily interpret "MICHELLE FOR MISS WORLD" as "MICHELLE IS LOOKS REALLY HOT!" in the right context, for sure.

I know that slut is a negativly loaded term. Which is why I added the miss world.
The point being, if you say that a chick could be part of miss world, that means she must be REALLY, REALLY good looking, whereas a good looking chick doesn't necessary have the potential to succeed in miss world while still being good looking.
It's the way the arrows are pointing that matters. A player being good doesn't mean he's bonjwa. A player being bonjwa would imply the player being really good. So shouting "X for bonjwa" whenever a player performs well, nullify the compliment the term has.
As said, there is as much honor in the term bonjwa in the SC-community as it's getting the sir-status. So shouting "Y for sir" whenever someone has sucsess makes it kind of silly.

EDIT: Small clarification.

Yeah, but a Bonjwa requires a long period of dominance. A small period of performing well, or being excellent at one match up isn't not enough to call a player the next bonjwa. Especially when the player has done nothing spectacular 3 months later when they're style doesn't work so well any more.

If we watched Inca beat every top Protoss and that was the only match up we ever saw him play, people would call him the next bonjwa. For we all know DRG has mediocre ZvZ (I doubt it, but its possible). Would people still be saying that if we found out it was true over the next couple of weeks?

Even if his ZvZ is good enough, he's not that dominant in ZvT. He's probably the best, at the moment, but its not like he's run over every top Terran he's played. MMA beat him the first time they played, after DRG had a fairly hefty lead. He only beat sC 3-2 and he's yet to play Bomber, MVP or any of the oGs Terrans. I'd say its too early to even say he's going to win a code s.

Sure, I don't disagree with your requirements for bonjwa status, but I'm talking about the context in where I used the term. When I used it, I meant for it to be interpreted as, "DRG is really good and has tons of potential" more or less, not as "DRG has been dominant for a long enough period to be compared to BW bonjwas".

I thought my intention with the usage of the term was obvious, but I guess not.
Blah.

The point being, if you say that a chick could be part of miss world, that means she must be REALLY, REALLY good looking, whereas a good looking chick doesn't necessary have the potential to succeed in miss world while still being good looking.
It's the way the arrows are pointing that matters. A player being good doesn't mean he's bonjwa. A player being bonjwa would imply the player being really good. So shouting "X for bonjwa" whenever a player performs well, nullify the compliment the term has.
As said, there is as much honor in the term bonjwa in the SC-community as it's getting the sir-status. So shouting "Y for sir" whenever someone has sucsess makes it kind of silly.

What can I say, I just disagree with you. I don't believe using "bonjwa" whenever a player performs well will nullify the compliments the term has. I'm not just being stubborn, I honestly believe it's just a matter of context. The term "bonjwa" has been thrown around a lot before, but I still see the term as the same as it was when we're talking about the actual bonjwas.
Blah.

I totally agree with you in the context of an argument about whether or not a player is an upcoming bonjwa, it gets thrown around way too easily. But in an LR thread where people are excited? Not really the same. It's like if I eat a great sandwich and then find $10 on the ground and say "Woah, this is the best day EVER." I don't really mean it and I don't think anyone would get upset at me for saying it.

EDIT: Quoted the wrong guy, see nested quote for context.
