No mention of Fruitdealer?
Also GSL finals between Genius and DRG had about 5,000 live spectators.
GSL is Starcraft only tournament

Well it's not a list of "skilled players winning tournaments", but rather various interesting benchmarks and achievements. As stated in the OP (and as you should know if you've been around here for a while) she was the first actual female pro-gamer, you know, signed with a legit team (a huge team at the time, to boot). It doesn't matter that she was perhaps inferior to players like Aphrodite or Flo at the time, or even thousands of male pro-gamers, semi-pro-gamers and casual Master league players, she's there because she was the first female signing.

Should this matter? That's not up to your or I to decide, but rather the community as a whole.

If we take MVP, and then compare the tournament structure of sc2 compared to sc:bw, then he was actually way more dominant than most of the bonjwas. There was way fewer tournaments in sc:bw than sc2 in comparrisson and the timespan is also way different, so if anything, Mvp is certainly more of a bonjwa than say iloveoov, who probably had the least dominating era out of the 5 in sc:bw. If we aslo take money into consideration we will see that SK.MC has earned more, but almost 100k came about 3 months before the rise of Mvp, in a seperate year, where the average winning prize of a GSL was at 87k for 1st place and not 43k as Mvp won whenever he emerged champion of a GSL.

MvP has won 10 vs the 7 major championships of MC, and has been over a shorter period of time, so while nothing is certain, as the term of being a bonjwa needs radical changes to fit into the tournament style of SC2, MvP is certainly a bonjwa and has overall dominated completely the scene in WOL. Everytime someone has beaten him in a bo5 or more, it has been seen has a miracle, I mean, who can compete with that?

Cool post.

SC2 is no way near being the best RTS of all time though

I know you gotta blow the horn of your own former player and all but wasn't the first major foreign win over Korean competition Thorzain in TSL3?
