i'm amazed that an event with 70,000 viewers can't sell a single ad to an outside company.

Lol korean elitist still finding funny excuses and it won't finish even after he beats Stats. I guess he has to beat that player who got dumpstered 3-0 by the weakest ro8 player. Maybe next tournament, if he gets to the final..

I am not an elitist (?) and I also think that Serral cannot be considered in the list of greatest players ever by only winning week-enders. He needs to play and win GSL to be in that list.

It should not be that difficult though, we all see how good he plays.

I think this is the best finals we could've had but if Serral plays close to his peak level then its going to be 4-1 or 4-2 maximum

You know, it's okay to think Several is merely "really good" without all the superlatives. That's not being a hater or an elitist.


merely "really good". Lol TL korean elitists are some of the weirdest people I voluntarily deal with.
I swear if Serral was born in SK and came up through some Kespa team you would worship this guy to no end. Look at the disbelief in Rogues face at the end of game 4. The formerly best macro Zerg in the world just played his heart out and he felt helpless.


If Serral was a Korean there would not be a single person calling him a bonjwa.

I don't know what it is with this ratcheted-up aggression over this. Some people (like myself) think Mvp is overrated. Some people think Stephano was never half as good as some people would have it. Some people think Taeja is one of the best if not THE very best Terran of all time, others don't. You're playing this up as if there is some monolith that automatically raises Korean high-performing players to the highest of superlatives and if the very same players had been non-Korean they would have been deemed uninteresting or unworthy of praise. I don't know where you're seeing that, but it's pretty inane. I think Serral is really good and probably a lock to either beat Stats or at least make the finals really close, but I also don't need to approve of this notion that he's doing some otherworldly thing and revolutionizing the game in a way that has never been done before. I just think he's a really good player. I don't know what your problem is with that.

Maru was born in SK, he dominated the Korean scene the same way Serral did thr foreign and NONE OF YOU declared him Bonjwa. By far the biggest player achievement. By far the hardest competition on the Earth. And yet the discussion was closed. And now we have Serral, who won an invitational, lsot the onlly offline game against Maru, never won Korean starleague title(not talking about back to back win), is dominating the easier competition(from the 8 best players at Blizzcon only 2 advanced from groups) and he should be declared Bonjwa because his fans say so? Seriously?


I heard the term bonjwa being dropped on Maru like a thousand times this year.
Especially after winning the third one in the row.
If Maru stomped Blizzcon like Serral is currently doing he would be a lock for bonjwa status in my book.
But he didnt. He got 3:0ed by SoS, the same player Serral made look like a fool.
Serral has to prove more to obtain bonjwa status, but the term being dropped while talking about him is not suprising.

Serral didn't play even slightly close to this level back then. And If Serral played like in Montreal he would have had big trouble getting past Dark.
And I say that as a Reynor fan

I think Reynor is gonna be the next banjo

He is right tho... Rogue, the best Korean zerg by far, best Korean ZvZ player (maybe tied with soO) did bring our his A-game today. And it was close, but not enough. Serral is legit and deserves to be in a Bonjwa discussion at this point. Same as Maru.

None of them deserves the Bonjwa status and I am a Maru fanboy. Just sain
