Anyone calling the Bonjwa debate over at this point is sorely mistaken. It is still too early to tell whether Flash will exert completely and utter dominance like Oov, Nada and Boxer did - but I will say we're getting close. This upcoming season will be the one where the debate is settled once and for all. Oh and Effort beating Flash doesn't disprove the Bonjwa theory one bit - iloveoov lost to July twice, both in the Gillette semis and the iTv Final - and he's still remembered as a bonjwa. Yeah seriously this is getting silly. Some people are so focused on not giving him that name that any loss will do. One loss and you're out. I bet they weren't even there to witness players like savior and iloveoov but rather just heard stories about them. Bonjwa talk being over is bullshit. He's in the middle of his time where he might be crowned right now. 4 finals in a row, 4000+ kespa, floating on 2400 ELO, defeated his greatest rival 3-0 in the finals, 70% all matchups and roughly 80% all matchups since his domination started a year ago - And now some say his bonjwa run is over? After this, seriously? I'm not saying he is Bonjwa, I don't know how you define it anymore since he's not named. However if you're going to give one justified reason as to why he shouldn't be Bonjwa it should be that his time of domination has only been a year. | ||

Kinda like watching a TvZ only Terran (COUGH RUBY MASSIVE BELOW 30% TVP COUGH). If you watch Snow's games against zerg, their horrible. Look at the list of shitty zergs hes lost to. Of course its too late to determine if hes going to end up being a 1 matchup player but right now it sure as hell looks like it and until he doesn't suck massively vs zerg I don't think he deserves to be that high. Losing games to Hyuk (twice) and Roro but beating players like Really and Flash convincingly indicates a massive skill difference between PvZ and PvT Also, I'd still put Jaedong in front of effort simply cause Jaedong has been on fire this month and Effort really hasn't beaten great people (other than flash but I refuse to count a failed BBS and a failed 14CC as wins displaying skill). Effort went 9-2 or 81.8% in May. JD went 13-4 or 76.5% in May. Pretty close, however: Effort came back from being down 0-2 in a bo5 to the number 1 terran in the world. Remember anyone else in recent years who did this? Oh right, Jaedong to Fantasy. JD got crushed 3-0. It wasn't even close. And alot of people (except some flash fans) were disappointed with the finals. Also you suggest Effort has beaten no one good? He beat Kal, fantasy, great. Go back just one more week to april and he beat: ZerO, Kwanro, Action, | ||

You are right , he should have focused the wall and he would have killed both the depots and barracks quickly while massing up a lot more hidras . Flash would have been supply blocked and probably would have lost the game . He wasted a lot of time and hidras on that bunker while Flash was repairing . Still he shouldn't have over commited especially after Flash had 3 siege tanks already placed and JD hadn't even expanded yet . | ||

I think because JD didn't get the title it is now super hard to get it. Anyway it's not up to us to decide, it's the Korean fans. | ||

It's never good to see Flash lose, but it happens. | ||

Jaedong looked like a zombie back then. Dual finals back to back and carrying your team to the playoffs. Poor Flash. | ||

Instead he just shrugs it off and comes back as an even stronger player. His loss to HiYa will only result in him practising more TvT. | ||

And I assure you Flash has been practicing enough TvT. | ||

Actually I've been following Flash since 2008. I don't think Flash "unlimited stamina". However he does have above-average stamina, and he manages his condition well. Flash wouldn't be where he is today if he couldn't. Flash has just come out of dual finals versus Zerg players. I doubt he has been playing his usual amount of TvT practise lately. | ||
