Im a total sc2 noob and dont know much about BW, but from what I have read around the forums he just picked Slayers and Boxer out of the dictionary because they sounded cool.
A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.

Loophole: Cool. So is he [NTT] still playing? I mean, he seemed frustrated with SC for a while...

Haha NTT and his many retirements. This was so good. I could read a million of these.

I remember this interview

Slayer was a really good Swedish player if I'm remembering correct. I think Boxer was only known as just Boxer then and only after beating Slayer became known as SlayerS_Boxer. Something like that anyway.

Sorry, but that's not correct. Slayer was a Norwegian player and Boxer was in the "Slayers" clan. But it fit anyways as he beat slayer (was it 3:1?)
Not sure.


As far as I remember, the norwegian Slayer used GG99 as his clantag. Previously he was known as abs.slayer or something like that. When he was with sVen. He was one of the first foreigners to win a korean starcraft tournament, norwegian television made a documentary following his adventure. Was really cool, gave me the nerdchills back then

Actually im pretty sure there is no slayers clan, thats why im asking if his name comes from beating slayer.

only recently was the slayers clan made


The emperor himself said this (That slayers was his first clan) twice in different interviews (he is asked about his name quite often). Unfortunately, I don't find these interviews anymore. Maybe, someone else can confirm this.

Edit: After searching a bit, it's even possible that "Boxer" was the clan and "Slayers" the name Boxer used as he found it sounded cool. Anyways, when boxer played against slayer his name was already slayers_boxer. (i watched it).

Wow, this was a great interview, Loophole. It really gave me insight on the early BW scene. Nazgul fighting!

Although it's a bit disappointing that his expectations with WarCraft 3 went splat. Ah, well, there's still WarCraft in space. =D

Man. Nazgul is a dinosaur.

The interview was actually cool, and honestly, I didn't know Nazgul was that much competitive in BW scene. Must be awesome to play against Boxer in his golden BW era.
Watch the minimap.
