A bonjwa will be judged by how he crush his competition. How will you do that when a large portion of the supposed competition is elsewhere in the world?
Just remember this would be impossible even in BW then if BW had as many tournaments as SC2 did. People seem to forget that while there were dominant players in BW (jaedong/flash/nada/etc), they played in "only" 2 tournaments MSL/OSL and didn't have to travel and they had a week minimum to prepare for their opponents.
In sc2 most tournaments (excluding gsl/osl) are done in a weekend.

SC1 is just such a small society that makes bonjwa possible. community like SC2 is so big that no one can dominate like SC1, not now, not ever. We will only have consistent good player, like MVP in the past years, this will be the closest thing to a bonjwa Koreans are the best in the world. More Koreans played Brood War. Foreigners don't come into the equation that much. What you say makes no sense.
Agreed. The same players (for the most part, minus a few new comers) that are top in everything are the same people that played BW competitively before. Only difference there isn't Flash owning everything up... yet.

blizzard balance logic:
protoss totally overpowered in midgame - but if they decide to go for macro games they lose to broodlor infestor
this way it makes up for a 50% balance and thats fine right? Sadly David Kim said that was fine because it was "asymmetric". Bad excuse because that type of gameplay is bad (even Artosis and Idra agreed on their "Imbalanced" show).
When was the most recent "imbalance" episode?

Has pros and cons. Today i felt the cons very much. Even one semi finals wasn't highlighted at all. Was only on a side stream without any pictures of the players. Also following 4 streams was pretty hard, but doable if you don't care about every match.

Lol @ that zergling or whatever it was licking the force field.

That balloon Overlord never gets old.

Load from replay in HOTS is going to be a serious game changer. Pros are going to be able to practice scenarios like that from the moment Sen scouts the Robo until the all-in is done. Over and over and over, until they get so good at it that it'll be second nature. And they'll be able to do that for any common scenario you can imagine, or anything that develops in the metagame.
I think that feature alone will make the metagame evolve 10x faster than it is now.
