I'm really excited about it, though I feel your pain. Boxer was a fan favorite, this is true, but he doesn't have the skills par to someone great like flash or Light. If either one of them left Bw I would be excited for SC2, but then I would feel terribly bad for SC1. On the bright side, if you look at the pattern. A few of the very "old" gosu progamers switched to SC2, this should mean that in time the tend will be for others to switch as well. Flash and Jaedong included. The thing that is bright about this, in my opinion, is going to be a BIG BANG BLOWOUT of epic games before SC1 korean leagues die down. I expect to see some epic games. | ||

He's never going to be a force in BW again, so he wouldn't be signing with SKT1 for anything but the money or to support the team from a coaching side (dunno if he does that) | ||

Besides this is good for Starcraft as a whole, with Boxer in SC2 everyone will focus their attention on it. Yeah I'm sad about what looks like the "death" of BW, but it was inevitable. | ||

if he is actaully able to compete and "be boxer", then I will be OK with it. but if he just plays the way he played BW in his last year (judging from his all-stars games and heritage league games) and just plays standard then I will be really disappointed. how the fuck is boxer supposed to be boxer in a game where you can't even build a barracks before supply depot?!? maybe boxer will finally be the person to make sc2 enjoyable to watch, but i have a lot of doubts. i just dont see him being much more relevant to the scene than he was in BW, at least not a year from now. if he doesnt do good in gsl2 i dont think he will ever do good. | ||

Thats why, if young adventurers enter the teamliquid's gates, they must be well prepared for the towns folk they are going to encounter, for many of them are mere humans, but some of them are old veterans, heroes, who made their path through life with great skill and feats. There are some heroes even, who are at the very line between the mortality and the realm of the gods, these became the 9 lords of Teamliquid. riptide Lawful Good Epic Bard Cleric Often regarded as The Light of Teamliquid, riptide is a holy man who devotes his time to spreading news and singing songs about the heroes of the far east. His exceptional skills as a bard quickly earned him the most of respect in Teamliquid. Although being the last one to enter the halls of the 9 lords his achievements are truly feats of a demigod. Liquid`Nazgul Neutral Good Epic Fighter Shadow Dancer The King of kings, Nazgul is one of the founders of Teamliquid, and without a doubt, the corner stone for its prosperity. Adventurers shouldn't be fooled by his noble appeal and feats as a leader, for Nazgul lived countless battles in his time and his skills will be a handful for those silly enough to provoke him on the arena. In his travels over the world, Nazgul mastered many dark arts combat techniques, so that he would blink away from the danger and strike when its least expected. Even mighty creatures as the legendary Gracken have fallen to Nazgul's skill to dance between the shadows and the daylight. Manifesto7 Chaotic Good Bard Barbarian Manifesto's devotion to Teamliquid variates with time. Initially, being one of the first bards to spread the word about the far east, he focused most of his attention recently on living and enjoying the family life of a mortal. However, Manifesto's voice is carefully listened to in all of Teamliquid cause those are the words of wisdom. Being a barbarian his presence is very intimidating, but at the same time noble as well. R1CH Lawful Neutral Epic Wizard Obsessed and entirely consumed by the magic, R1CH has found the motivation in his years, to settle down in Teamliquid and become a vital part of its prosperity. In the rare occasions he speaks, Words of Power come out of his mouth, and even thou no hero or mortal can understand his chants, its regarded that the Words can create entire worlds and realities. And perhaps they can.... | ||

Calm down about boxer leaving? The vast majority supports his move, though feels a bit teary-eyed for all the awesome nostalgic moments that have already been witnessed. His moves may not be capable of being replicated in SC2, and that still remains a concern, but as far as support goes, most are behind him. I'd say that's pretty calm. I stand by my quoted part, however. Saying SC2 is better than SCBW is acceptable in my book. Saying BW is better than SC2 is (correct) OK in my book. Saying either of them should die is an insult to the fans of that particular game, especially in the uncertain state we're currently in. The fact that BW fans can put up with ancient graphics (which I personally find beautiful, especially compared to the clusterfuck of SC2) and wake up at night to watch games live for 12 or more years should give you an indication how much the game is loved. Even the people earning their living with SC2 are still sceptical about it, so why do people preach that SC2 is THE way? In fact, however annoying BW fanboys are, SC2 fanboys reply to those people that it may become more like BW, as if that is a valid reason to lay down all the second thoughts and doubts that SC2 has generated within the half a year it could be played en masse. I hope you can at least somewhat relate. BW fanboys should try to do the same thing, however. On October 10 2010 06:24 Khol wrote: On the bright side, if you look at the pattern.

Even if we'll get to see really epic games, BW dying is in no shape or form anything short of a catastrophe for me. If the SC2 expansions manage to change my mind, I'm willing to consider it a miracle and personally apologize to everyone at Blizzard whom I doubted. | ||

Why should we care which game has more shiny graphics? I feel sad that Boxer switched to SC2. I can understand his decision but still it doesn't stop me from feeling a bit disappointed that he is among the first few progamers that made the switch... Anyway, I hope that he will be very successful in SC2... | ||

1. Boxer switches to SC2. His fans get to see him play on stage once again. 2. Boxer stays with BW. His fans never get to see him play, and he remains locked up in the SKT house as a figurehead of the sport. True Boxer fans should be celebrating this move. | ||
