As some of you may know, there exists a sport called "chess boxing" that combines the rough and physical sport of chess with the intellectual activity of boxing. Competitors alternate between the two, and the match ends with either a knockdown or a checkmate. (You can watch a video about the sport here.)

Today in IRC, after a poorly worded statement by an ESL representative, tofucake and I conceived of a closely related idea. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... SC2BOXING!!

Three minutes of Starcraft. Pause. Three minutes of boxing. Repeat. The match ends either with a KO, or when an independent panel decides that the SC2 game is decided beyond all doubt. A simple but badass sport.

Think about that finals. Wouldn't you be more likely to watch it if MVP and Marineking were to get up out of their booths every 3 minutes and duke it out? I know I would.

SC2 Boxing. It's the sport of the future. Coming to an arena near you.

well, since you're connected to TL staff, maybe talk Hot_Bid & Co. to make this happen for the TSL finals!

Frankly a fight to the death would help keep the scene interesting and fresh. Boxing would be fun to watch though. 1st round = early game 2nd round = fisticuffs 3rd round = mid game 4th round = fisticuffs again 5th round = late game to end game. Judges decide the winner.

Most SC2 korean pro gamers are kinda scrawny, I don't think the boxing would be very interesting. Now if you got Pusan, Reach, and Nada were to duke it out, then it could be interesting. If your buff and a turtle terran, this would be cake.
I like money. You like money too? We should hang out.

I would just train in boxing and float CC.
Mantoss would destroy this if he were to join this...

I think I'd be better at SC2boxing than I am at SC2.

Looking forward to the first SC2boxing tournament.

LMAO!

I would definitely be super pumped to watch this happen, that's for sure. Plus more pictures for the MVP + MKP bromance never hurt.

Thats is a seriously bad ass poster! Awesome job as always! Also I would pay good money to see such a thing (I think Incontrol would be something like 500-0 by the end of the year haha)!

To be honest the whining about Protoss would be even worse as iNcontrol would be US bonjwa and Mantoss KR bonjwa.
