Personally I think we need to get the OSL up and running for a while first, perhaps the biggest feat in BW was winning OSL and MSL simultaneously, and it'd be similar for OSL & GSL. Honestly, regardless of who wins tomorrow, Rain will be the most impressive player to me this season for his dual performance (in his premiere SC2 tourney at that). | ||

GSL has a tendency to be one-sided most of the time if you look at GSL finals history. Agree you never know how a TvT match would go. But TvZ is different. TvZ and Life's strategies are more predictable. Life can win if he can outprepare Mvp and go on with unexpected strategies (like what MMA did) which is perhaps likely 10% probability :D | ||

It seems like people don't know the meaning of a " bonjwa ". http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=226236 Bonjwa is not the number of titles you have won. It means to be untouchable against the highest level of competition and utterly dominating against them. It was meant for Savior when he utterly smashed the best Terrans(iloveoov,Boxer Nada) on map heavily favors Terran when the rest of zergs failed horribly. He shown complete domination during the era of 2005-2007. To boast an aura of invincibility is what it means to be a bonjwa. Honestly speaking,MVP is the most successful player of all-time in SC2. But he is not untouchable and he can bleed. | ||

Mvp is a GSL king, and yes, he bleeds. | ||

In BW if the more skilled player had a build order disadvantage, he could come back into the game because all the small things he does better would have an impact. SC2 is way more random in the sense that the opening of the game has a LoL like snowballing effect most of the time, due to the fact that scouting is way harder in SC2 during the early stages of the game. So I would say that winning that much when sometimes luck is against you in bo3 or bo5 series means more than the same amount of big tourney win in BW. On the opposite winning only one title means more in BW, as it was less likely to have those lucky wins. | ||

If SC2 bonjwa is not the same as BW bonjwa, then we should stop using that term and come up with a new one. To be honest I always hated the term, but it hasn't seriously been used since sAviOr anyway At the very least there should be an equivalent to the Golden Mouse for winning 5 GSL titles. Pretty sure it will be a long time until someone achieves that, if Mvp even achieves it tomorrow. | ||

WoL king, translating king in Korean, may be cool. | ||

MVP has been able to string together a few streaks of looking literally untouchable by any other player, but they only end up lasting 2-3 months at a time. So while he has shown flashes of the "B" word, i wouldn't feel it right to give him that title. He has indeed been a dominating and formidable player throughout his career, but not quite bonjwa status. I am all for another title being made up and given to him, because he has definitely shown he stands above the rest. | ||
