Boxer's Sixth Sense

[image loading]

Not even boxer knows how he does it


Many of us who have been around for a while will remember Boxer's hold-lurker dodge against Yellow thanks to his psychic powers [read: crowd screams]. A lot more of us will probably remember his proxy barracks strat against OOv using psychic powers to find him [read: checking minerals]. But there is one game in particular which is so unbelievable, it simply has to be Boxer using his Psychic gamesense to win.

On January 14 2008 06:58 Rekrul wrote:
this was the first time i ever met boxer yet while we were in the restaurant eating before going out drinking i realized why he's boxer. me and him don't even have to talk.....the guy has sense like a mother fucker...he knows what im thinking...and i know what hes thinking

im drunk and i dont know if its funny at all in english but as we were eating as a big group (many of which didn't really know eachother we all knew eachother in different ways) everyone was without ideas on what to do on a sunday night so boxer was like ok we'll ask everyone exactly what they want to do starting with some random friend of ours; he said: i'll do anything, next guy said; i'll do anything, grrr said i'll do anything; boxer pointed to me and said "you don't have to say a fucking word" then pointed to the next guy.

Thats what I call fucking game sense.


Funnily enough, it was that excerpt from Rekrul's encounter with boxer that reminded me of this game. It comes from Shinhan S1 OSL.

One of the greatest comebacks in history


After Boxer edged out Pusan in their epic semi-final and subsequently lost out to Anytime, he continued to barrage players in Shinhan 2005 OSL with his awesome strats. Notably, the double proxy rax on 815 vs July and his epic TvT with OOv on Ride of Valkyries. Pusan on the other hand lost a humiliating semi against July and decimated Casy with assassin like precision.

Pusan getting some practice in on Rush Hour


In Shinhan S1 OSL these two titans were placed in the same group together. To top it off, they played first in their group and on Rush Hour. The tensions on both sides were running high; Pusan had his revenge to exact, and Boxer was running out of time before he would have to join the airforce.



+ Show Spoiler +
What is the most interesting thing about this game is that Boxer never scouted Pusan's build. Not once. He had no idea what Pusan was doing - but countered it perfectly. Using a build that had super fast scans he was easily able to dispatch of a 14nex -> dt build.

Seriously, this is the Gamesense of the Emperor. Nothing else comes close


+ Show Spoiler [PS] +
Soz for the shorter and latish blog, some shit went down in my family today and to say the least its been a rough day >.Atleast SC brings me happiness <3 Feel free to request any particular topics I started this blog as a way to bring some of the more obscure games out to the public but in doing so i have found a new passion in my life. Similar to when i was writing mass biographies for MBC (and other players). So im more than happy to do something you guys request =]
Oh and there's some heavier articles coming too

Request/suggestion: oov blog. I am saddened by recent news and a good blog would cheer me up and any others who are fans of his. (Maybe you are too?)

edit:Great stuff again, I've read all the blogs and it's a great idea. Makes me feel like I was there at the time (didn't start following progaming until around shinhan 2.)

This seems pretty impressive just like that but I remember in the post game interview boxer said something like "I didn't feel confident going into the match because the build order I chose would either win or lose for sure." He basically realized that alot of tosses those days were going fast DT's and crossed his fingers that Pusan would do the same. That said still awesome and boxer ftw

I remember watching this game. It was the first game I had watched live, where Boxer was playing. Great bit of nostalgia!

Wow.... that was amazing. You're right, that's completely insane that he never scouted it and just countered it anyways.. I was like... why the heck is he getting comsat so early? lol.. Thanks for posting and writing up the context, etc.
