+ Show Spoiler +
With his win at MLG providence and his destined win on Saturday against Jjakji, Leenock will have won two major tournaments in the space of two weeks.

This qualifies him for recognition as one of the first SC2 Bonjwas after Nestea, MC, MMA and MVP, as his skills are above those of anyone else in both the Korean and Foreign scenes.

Furthermore, Leenock will not only be one of the first SC2 bonjwas, but also the first SC or SC2 bonjwa that is an octopus. This is where his nickname "Leenocktopus" has come from, which is an amalgamation of the words Leenock and Octopus, hence Leenocktopus.

This thread serves as a discussion about Leenock's rise to the top of the SC2 scene. I encourge people to share their thoughts on this idea as well as any fond memories they have of Leenock in his recent games.

Thankyou.


Edit: It has been brought to my attention that Leenock is not a bonjwa. Thankyou.

I think it's a bit early for that, but the kid is obviously a monster.

This thread doesn't deserve anyone's attention.

SC2 isn't long enough for there to be a Bonjwa and none of the above qualify.

Thankyou.

in b4 lock? Really though, please do not make such lackluster posts, you are not adhering to the TL guidelines for thread making, and you are only inciting argument and trolling with your own troll post.

A year ago, the best three players in the world at their race were FruitDealer, Maka, and Tester.

SC2 is too volatile. Too many new players coming and going each day.

No this thread deserves nothing. Many progamers in SC2 "history" (luls) have assumed a title of "the first bonjwa" but time has told that every player has their shining moments and their dull moments. Right now it's Leenocks time to shine, but he hasn't proven anything that he deserves a bonjwa title.

sighhh fanboys these days.....

Bonjwa is a term used to describe a player who dominates the StarCraft scene for a long period of time, typically over a year. A bonjwa has a very high winning percentage and many successive title wins.
