Yeah it's kinda stupid how people just throw that word around.
Seriously, Jaedong was 10 times better and even he was never bonjwa
Wasn't Jaedong really close to being a bonjwa though?
Yes, he's often classified as "near bonjwa". He's shown the skills necessary, but his domination hasn't been as persistent because of existing contemporarily with Flash, who took the upper hand.
And for whomever asked, bonjwas are/have been:
-BoxeR - The first bonjwa -iloveoov -NaDa -SaviOr - Only non-terran bonjwa -Flash - Current bonjwa, on his way out maybe because of some terrible wrist injury, pictures look goddamn terrible
flash isn't bonjwa. he's considered god in korean esports, actually (higher than bonjwa).
If he's at a status higher than bonjwa then by default he would be a bonjwa.
well kinda no. If im a masters terran im not a diamond terran by default.
Bonjwa is a title, not rank. If you are Dr. Smith, you are also Mr. Smith
At first I was about Alicia going to the loser's bracket, but then I learned who took him out and ... lol, nothing shameful about getting 2-0'd by ToD, really. That guy was sick in WC3, and I heard he's been practicing like mad for this tourney, so I'm not that surprised.

oh please. are you for real? flash has yet to prove himself to be on the same level of the likes of Boxer or Nada or iloveoov
Hasn't Flash overtaken NaDa as statistically the best BW player?

But in order to achieve masters you passed through diamond, so you did earn that title.

Not gonna lie, the reason I stopped following bw wasn't cause of SC2 but it was because flash was clearly on his way to eclipsing Jaedong and and getting corronated the B word.

Look at the stream on mlg homepage. Just below the stream there are a bunch of links. Open bracket should be one of them.

ToD had "The Police" which makes him a little bit more bad ass

Man, I spend a couple weeks away from SC2 and suddenly these DRG, tod names are being tossed around left and right and I never even heard of em...
I really think it should take some long term, consistent results before we form so many bandwagons.
Unless you keep up with the SC2 scene really well, you wouldn't know who either are. ToD is a WC3 pro who has been going SC2 like a mad man. Hes been playing like 16 hours a day or something ridiculous. This plus being in a PvP allowed him to deal with Alicia. This is really his first notable win in SC2 though.
DRG has been at the top of the Korean ladder and renowned around the Korean scene as one of the top players ever. He has yet to make it to Code A, but he has notable wins for his GSTL team MVP and carried them to an almost championship.
Thanks for the update.
I remember a whole lot of hype surrounding Grubby because he was such a big name in WC3. Then I saw him flounder in NASL and lose 0-2 to Artosis. Like I said, I wish people wouldn't buy into player hype so quickly. Results are what matter, not background from a different game. That's my opinion anyway.
DRG regularly beats top players like Boxer, sC, MMA, Ryung, etc.

true true. but when you achieve master you relinquish diamond. or else you'd be called diamond master terran.
