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. And similarly sOs when he was winning his last tournament while he didn't bring the same play in Code S. But considering someone who's avoiding starleagues to be Bonjwa would mean that WCS is the biggest and hardest SC2 competition  Which it isn't (At least not now, if we wait few years Korean Army will solve this). | ||

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. You are obviously entitled to your opinion. But let other people have their hypeespecially if its deserved like it is for Serral. This TL threads just seem so toxic to me everytime a foreigner achieves something. If kr loses its blizzards fault for killing the scene. If the foreigner loses he was overrated anyway. If a caster calls out a great play in a hyped moment it is annoying hyperbole. | ||

Better?  For me, Bonjwa is just someone who is dominating the scene for a long period of time. Not just player with most medals in that year, but someone who is almost untouchable and other players fear to face that player. Both Maru and Serral currently have that status, but Serral is just slightly more intimidating for me personally because he is a foreigner | ||

I mean i get that but it is a pretty specific audience, and it falls within the demographic advertisers are most interested in. there really isn't a shitty computer accessory company out there that wouldn't fork of a few grand for an add spot or 12? Corsair? NZXT? what the fuck are they spending add dollars on if not this? | ||

I mean, if he had faced TY, then we wouldn't have seen Serral vs Rogue, so I'm okay that TY had to lose so that we could see that epic series. It is a damn shame about Maru though. Why did he have to be so stubborn and try to proxy every game?! | ||

The "b" word has been thrown several times during SC2, but imho only Maru (if he had won Blizzcon) and Serral really have shown bonjwa level dominance. Mvp' dominated in a very early stage of the game, much like Boxer did back in the day. (Boxer is considered a bonjwa due to his revolutionary playstyle, but statistically he was only very good but nowhere near the level of dominance of Nada/oov/Voldemort during their respective peaks. (And then there's that KT terran, but that's another story...) As for other SC2 greats like sOs, Inno or the other one who shall not be named: They were insanely good at some point, but never dominated a whole year. Looking at the BW banjos, that's basically how you get the "title". It's a shame that Serral hasn't played at least one GSL, but I fully understand his decision to stay in the circuit. Moving to Korea is not suited for everyone, my impression of Serral is that he really likes practicing in his known environment. Enough wall of text. Enjoy the finals. Both Serral and Stats are the best players of their respective races. Let's hope for a 4-3. | ||

Yep. 70k when spread over entire western world (or even more) is just a pitiful number. On November 04 2018 08:39 OtherWorld wrote: I'm pretty sure obscure TV channels sell adtime with much fewer viewers It is more about territory. If it was 70k just in US alone or even a single state (EU or US), it would be way better for advertiser. | ||
