Come on.. Killer probably played the worst ZvT ever done in a Proleague match.. Even SKT1 B-Team would have raped badly Killer this game. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that Boxer won a PL game but god.... he didn't play that good -.-

lot of people in here who can't be happy for what this was: Boxer winning, and doing it with panache. I don't think anyone is reading too much into it. Though one does wonder why Oz sent out Baxter in an ace match last week :-/

Yeah, yeah, (Z)Killer sucked. So what?
Beating opponent who sucks takes all credit out of the winner?

Itachii pretty much summarized what I said - (T)BoxeR does weird things just to force unorthodox gameplay, when you cannot 'go standard' and win by better micro or timing. Going crazy is in fact smart way of playing to his strenghts: game sense and flexibility. I'm pretty sure (Z)Killer would not feel so obliged to do something (what he did is another story), if he faced 'typical' TvZer.

EDIT: Thank you, IceCube.

wouldn't reach A- in iccup? are you serious? I thought all progamers more or less were A- at least.

keep in mind that even the worst progamers are better than most all foreigners.

Boxer winning wasn't important. What was important was that he showed that through smart play (Horang2 did some of this before he somehow turned retarded this season) and basically deep sixed the inexperienced Killer from the get go. Watching Flash currently rip through Zergs is amazing, but this was pretty amusing.

With SKT's strong lineup (Bisu, Fantasy, Hyuk/Best), I hope we see more Boxer because let's face it, Bisu and Fantasy can reliably win games, Hyuk is fine as long as its not a terran and Best is still a vastly better protoss than most teams have in their lineups.

(Oh just to nitpick, the VOD of Boxer and Flash was when Flash was like 15. I don't think anyone is debating that Boxer's experience allows him to smash through inexperienced players easily)

That game was just depressing to watch IMO. The only part of that VOD worth watching is after the match is over and Boxer flashes his Obama-caliber smile. Mediocre (at absolute best) play from both players. Personally I'm of the attitude that Boxer should have gone the way of iloveoov and retired to coachdom a long time ago. He's just a gimmick now and this game practically proves it by itself. Going nukes in this game didn't even make sense and I just can't believe the OP is calling Boxer's decision "genius"... I mean he killed like 3(!) drones with that nuke and made a few building bleed...

You do not call Boxer a Bonjwa with a questionmark afterwards. He was and will always be remembered as. Without question.


On topic: I was agree with you completely, OP.

he rebuilt the silo because

1. he had no 4th base/cc to build a silo there.
2. he already invested so much in ghost upgrades. he just had to use the nuke.


baxter got harassed like that because he didn't have his overlords there with hydras. his hydras were late/elsewhere

That charge was hilarious. It was like "oh crap I'm behind on econ I need to attack right now. Should I scout first? Nah no time for thatI'll just move in all my lurkers in one big clump, right towards his seiged up tanks and mine field. That'll work."
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

OMG NUKEZ LOOLOLOLOL BOXER SO GOOD


Baxter played a horrible game and lost like 8(?) lurkers to 2 mines thus losing his giant midgame advantage. Then he proceeded to play like absolute garbage as per the norm for baxter. Check your fanboyism at the door that was a god awful game by both players and I love LYH just as much as the next guy

Hey, kvilx, pay no heed to those who are flaming you for posting a thought-out and well written article.

I have yet to watch the match you linked so I can't say if I agree with what you wrote or not, but I can say that I found it to be a good read. You clearly sat down and thought about what you watched and then wrote a nice text about it. For that I thank you; always nice to see quality contributions and deeper analysis than "yeah, BoxeR won!".

I bid you welcome to Teamliquid. Enjoy your stay.
