People need to realize that koreans determine who is bonjwa or not...not foreigners..Also the game has to be out for at least a year..but lets face it; when HOTS comes out...nestea will actually be unstoppable..I predict it will come out after blizzcon...december-ish

I should rephrase:

MC is the only good protoss, but PvP sucks so he's out.

If it's a ZvZ final it won't be a coinflip. With a 90% ZvZ win rate Nestea disproves the "ZvZ is a coinflip" theory.

Or he's simply the best zerg by far and is an exception . But I agree.

If Nestea wins five titles/six titles before the end of the year in the GSL, maybe.

Three? Nope.


3 GSL champions and going undefeated through GSL July..

also: lol at that awkward guy with no mic


So? Jaedong has won five singles titles and isn't a bonjwa.

Flash had to win two titles in a week's time to finally get considered a bonjwa. GSL is run every month and easier to get to the finals/win when there is so many chances. OSL/MSL only run six times a year put together.

When he becomes a bonjwa, people will know it. Beating up on a one-handed HongUn is not that moment.

There are no real candidates for the title of bonjwa in SC2 as of yet. Yes, there are more dominant players, but that's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

I completely agree. This is great watching him become the best player in the world

Some BW people are going to come in here and yell at you in a moment lol


indeed,hes no JD at all.

It's sad that people even compare nestea to jaedong. Pretty insulting :/


Nestea is good man, but he hasn't reached JD levels yet. You can start comparing him to JD maybe after he wins his 5th GSL.


There are so many more GSL's than there are OSL/MSL's. Nestea would have to win around 7-8 GSL's before he can be compared to Jaedong.

Just got home. Totally missed Nestea vs Hongun. Were the games good? Did Hongun put up a fight? So Nestea is still on the road to be the first GSL champion with a perfect win-loss record.

So I know labeling someone bonjwa in SC2 right now is pretty dumb, since that title is for the elite of the elitist players dominating for a long period of time.

But my question is, let's say Nestea out right wins every remainder GSL this year. How much more does he need to win to be possibly given that label?

From my interpretation, being a bonjwa requires more than a commanding string of titles. There needs to be an aura of invincibility or absolute dominance - such that every loss is because of some stupid BO loss that was almost a comeback win, etc. There has to be a feeling of "feeding newbs to the lions" that accompanies that title of bonjwa imo.


It's more a feeling than a number. Flash loses sometimes, and he even lost a finals to freaking Effort, but he's "the best", and everyone knows it.

Yeah, its when they get to a state where you go 'OMG [x] lost a game?!? How the hell did that happen?' Which, frankly, Nestea looks like he may achieve if he continues playing and improving like he has done recently.

Honestly though, if SC2 gets its first B before the HotS release I'll be amazed.

The only Bonjwa right now is the theoretical protoss-controlled Idra talks about.

Why does everyone view HOTS a a zerg buff? I don't get that?

Is GOM preparing a special token for Nestea in the event that he wins a 3rd GSL? Maybe a Golden Deerstalker for our detective zerg?


I hope he makes the October finals, so Blizzard can create an art for him (like they did for Fruit), and present it to him at Blizzcon!

Will only say the B word if he continues to dominate after the third win but yea, he's pretty damn close to it.



4th GSL win and I'm gona consider it. If he wins this one and the next one then I will say it jokeingly. Yet another one and he is.

It's more than just wins IMO, it has to be so convincing that it looks like no one can beat him. We saw this vs Hongun but he lost to MVP before and had he been facing someone like Puma or MC I feel like he wouldn't look unbeatable even if he won.


Mvp...from I think last year? back to unbalanced maps lol?

Fine, he lost to TOP last tourney, not last year. Moreover bonjwa isn't just tourney wins it's aura of invincibility and if it looks like you can lose to other people it doesn't qualify.


Man nestea is looking pretty fucking invincible right now.

If he keeps this form for 2-3 more months, I'd say he can have the B word.

So as a Zerg learning ZvP from Losira/Nestea, I noticed that they both take their gases way late and delay their lair, while using the extra drones/income to expand and drone up a third faster. Once they reach that 3 base saturation they start to get aggressive. Before that they just defend with roach/ling & spines :o

scariest part of that is trying to figure out what's coming out of the protoss without OL speed to scout the main ;o
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.
