Jaedong plays the most varied zerg style ever?.... Nobody has as many different approaches and tricks in the middlegame as him. ZvT he has been lacking flair for awhile, but I think its the competition changing, and him struggling with modern terran play. I was talking about their appearance, like how they look and behave, not their gameplay. Chalrenge is a player with a distinct personal character but hes not a champion. | ||

Boxer has Starcraft and nothing else, except coaching (I doubt he wants to be a commentator). But do you think SKT1 would work with Boxer and Oov as coaches together? Personally I don't like two really strong coaches (and legends) in a team, unless they have clearly different roles. And as long as he has the physical strength and partners to practice like he wants (read: all the time), no other gamers will feel safe vs him. He will keep on consuming new maps like candy, finding new strategies and weird concepts/tricks that other gamers don't think of. When the time is rightfor him to retire, he will tell us himself. | ||

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BOXER HAS LIFE, HE ALREADY WON LIFE AND WILL CONTINUE WINNING LIFE UNTIL UNTIL HE DIES BOXER CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS FUCK UR ALL RETARDS | ||

There were a number of omissions in the article, most of which ack aptly picked up. The most important thing about Boxer, which I didn't say anything about, is his passion for Starcraft. Above everything else this differentiates Boxer from every other progamer that has ever played the game. TheMarine was considered one of the only players who could go toe-to-toe with the Emperor, yet his interest waned and his skill deteriorated and he couldn't bounce back. That being said, his revival in 2004 was nothing short of miraculous, especially seeing as how TheMarine was reduced to the level of a B amateur before he staged his comeback. TheMarine is proof that Boxer can, and will, come back to progaming. TheMarine's story is often forgotten amongst the glory stories of Nada, July and Oov. But look at it this way. TheMarine was comparable to Boxer in every way back in 2001, well, even before that really. But then in his slump between 2002-2003 he royally sucked. Over a period of two years (approximately the length of time that Boxer has been in the army) he made the group stages of two OSLs and one MSL and was eliminated in pathetic fashion in each of them. But on the whole, TheMarine never really achieved much and the record of 43.68% (38-49). Now compare this record to 40.32% (25-37) and you can see that Boxer's record during his stay in the airforce (where he made an MSL appearance) is perfectly comparable to TheMarines.
Will the comeback be easy? No Will Boxer give up? No Is Boxer going to comeback? Yes he fucking will Increase Boxer's practice time, increase Boxer's access to progaming and just watch as he gets exponentially better and fights his way back to the top. If TheMarine can do it, Boxer most certainly can. While drawing the parallel to TheMarine may seem invalid, if you actually both to go read some of Boxer's recent interviews (notably this one) you can see that Boxer has as much passion as he has ever had and really this is the key component to a successful comeback. To become great at Starcraft one simply needs talent + will power. As we all know Boxer currently has both of these components, and that means that even if he instantly gets demoted to B-Team that he will rise from the ashes and will indeed add to his already impressive legend. | ||
