OMG u caught the hint and actually did it. see thats how my sense of humor works

Plexa I don't think you should feel sorry for banning me at all. And I really hope it doesn't break your heart cause I wasn't gunna stop until it happened. I was doing it out of sport/fun cause thats how my fucked up sense of humor entertains itself. My presence on teamliquid is not important at all and I have not done jack shit for the site in a long time and do pose a certain business threat to the site (though much less than the moderators that removed me think...cause honestly they are clueless--but thats besides the point). The only things I contribute to TL.net are my progaminggossip type shit posts and dramabomb posts...and we're all aware I don't do that out of my love for the community I do it because I'm a fucking attention whore and get off on building up the e-reputation. You were completely justified in banning me and I completely understand and take no offense (only way anyone can offend me is by not trusting me actually) so don't worry about that.

I am aware of everything you have done for this site and the community and have enjoyed reading several of your articles/posts. I thought that was a given so I didn't bother mentioning that I just flamed away. I'm used to everyone just understanding thats how I am and accepting the flames or brushing them off or fighting back in a similar flavor, cause those are the only kinds of people that I can have a real friendship with. I genuinely am sorry if I really did offend you, but honestly that was not my intent. I thought all my posts were funny as hell (especially the kitchen comment LOL) and I did think I had very valid points about this Boxer issue. Add all of that stuff up plus a massive hangover and me having a personality where all rationality goes out the window and I turn into a vicious raging dog that will defend his friends at any cost whenever I feel anyone has threatened them in any way and you have the verbal spew attack that I dished out on you.

I have a problem where I can't do stuff unless I think it's fun and just making simple statements about facts and opinions isn't enough, this is the internet and without flaming there is no community or fun. Without insulting people during e-debates it doesn't get heated and fun enough, and you end up with a bunch of kids spamming paragraph after paragraph trying to prove their point when in the end...its all opinions and no point will be proven and everyone is just wasting time and not even having fun in the process.

You really should have just called me an arrogant flaming fuck face and banned me, but since you left a nice description for the ban in the ban thread I decided to give you a serious reply.

I hope you understand and we can live in harmony in the future as friends even though I'm going to try extra hard to try and flame everything you write about in the future just because thats what my backwards sense of humor is telling me is the next logical step after this little incident. LOL.

p.s. lil tidbit for everyone i was out with lilsusie the other night and my korean hyung kept grabbing her tits all night randomly, and she liked it


There's a difference between insulting someone in an "e-debate" and typing shit like faggot and retard in caps. That's amateur hour stuff.

Flaming everything someone writes regardless of what it is is moronic, not funny.

I'm not offended by anything that you said rekrul, not one bit. Throughout the course of this thread there has been a number of people expressing the exact same sentiment. Fine by me, its just some internet kids getting all pissy about nothing really. The issue I had was purely the precedent set on the forums that this kind of posting is okay. The only thing that irked me in your entire set of posts was the fact that you didn't even read the article. I dont really care if you read it or not, but if your going to start flaming and then say you didn't read the thread then i have a problem.

Flaming is an integral part of having fun on a forum, thats indisputable. In a thread like this, with such a sensitive issue up for debate flaming is inevitable. But there's a point where it goes beyond flaming and it just becomes garbage. Im sure you're well aware of that. If you insist on flaming in future topics, at least try and be witty about it because at least then we get some comedy out of it.

I could have said that you were an arrogant flaming fuck, but i do respect you a lot. Probably too much. So you get a nice description, obviously if you were anyone else you'd get the obligatory flaming fuck reason.

nah
he loves the game
he still have the force to keep training.

why would he be different from any other player training?

let´s just wait and see..
the leagues are almost lottery nowadays....

and btw...i think if boxer win the golden mouse...is the end of starcraft..seriously
is like " there´s nothing more to be achieved in starcraft"
after that we will have just a few month or maybe a year till sc2 is released.
who cares if boxer will win another ogn or no after the golden mouse? every result will be "ok".
who cares if "Best"(who was "best" 1 year ago?) or any other NONAME (compared to boxer) win an starleague?

even if jaedong or flash can win 1 more starleague or mbc....will be like...hey..jaedong rule..he´s dominating now...but they will be unable to reach boxer glory.

yeah...all that IF boxer win the golden mouse...
if that dont happen...we keep watching starcraft =)
keep dreaming about boxer comeback
keep dreaming about savior comeback
yellow, ra, whatever player u like comeback
keep waiting a new player to win everything.

Interesting read, i must say i kinda agree, would have been better if he made the golden mouse and then quit.

That last picture in the OP kinda makes me feel he's like Michael Jackson, anyone?

Well i havent read every comment so far so im writing this in dangers of repeating it.

Well ive seen at least the OP to be completely about boxer, but how about the fans, other veteran progamers, or the industry in general? Boxer is like the icon of esports, its not jaedong or best or flash, its always been boxer. With him retiring who would follow as well? Would people like yellow, reach, midas with the biggest salaries in progaming and the biggest fanclubs follow him as well? That would be a huge blow to professional starcraft.

No, i dont think boxer should retire, he is, i believe, already in the safe zone, people already know how he plays, his fans watch his games to awe themselves one more time at his creativity, more than expecting him to win.

As for the rest, im one of those people who really believe boxer will rise his game once hes out of the army; he may not reach a starleague final but his record should definitely improve and the creative and awe inspiring play of his should remain.

well im sure it has been said before but if boxer can still have the motivation the young ones have he has the same chance of succes i guess...
it will be alot harder than back in the day tho, since the average level is much higher the competition is more fierce the chances of winning an entire OSL get smaller... no more easy opponents ... he could certainly do it but some luck is needed... but any player needs luck even the best of the best now (flash or jaedong or w/e)

I'm sorry Plexa, but no he shouldn't.

Boxer is an icon of his sport and deserves to retire on his own terms. People don't care that he doesn't compete like he used to, they just like to witness a champion in action.

Nobody begrudges greats like George Forman, Jack Nicklaus and Michael Jordan when they play well beyond their peak. They, like Boxer, are former champions who every one respects and admires and this is why they go to watch them.

Competitive sports/leisure is not just about winning and performing. Boxer is to progaming what someone like Ali is boxing, Jordan is to basketball. They are the game.

You think progaming, you think Boxer. He has so much still to offer the game beyond winning OSLs and MSLs.

I dont care if he wins or loses,when he plays,he always does something pimp,or try to do- and he was always like that.Besides the fact of how important he was for the progaming + strategical evolution he is the most entertaining player ever,so making this topic full of numbers and statistics is nothing more than a blasphemy.
I can't believe this of you. Whats next?Yellow retiring cause he doesnt make muta harrass in every tvz? Show some respect kid,if it werent those old schoolers progaming wouldnt be so big so you can play with your little numbers

I have to agree with Chill.

Boxer is currently not practicing enough. He remains highly creative and entertaining (locking down arbiters always looks nice). I believe that he should wait and see what happens when he goes back to normal pro-gamer training before taking a decision about his career.

Giving up when you are temporarly under-practice would be a bit stupid for a player like him.

I see where you are coming from, but I do disagree. Even though he has been looking bad at the moment, he can come back. Take a look at the Ever OSL. Not many people thought he could do it, but ingenuity and improved mechanics got him 2nd place.

I feel he should be able to come back, maybe not to his former glory, but definitely make some heads turn.

Sorry Plexa, but I disagree. Most progamers rise, shine, fade, and eventually disappear. By the time they retire, they've faded to the point that most people just give a "oh, that's too bad" and move on. But Boxer's different. Boxer IS Starcraft. After 8 years, people still love him almost as much as they used to. Even if he never becomes great again, I just don't think it would be acceptable for him to retire right now. He should at least try to get back in form and end on a slightly higher note.

I think I'll hold my vote until I see him play again.
