I didn't really get into it when Waxy told me a while ago "hey dude it's Boxer Day he's back from the military" until I've seen some pictures of him. He's aged, signing a SlayerS_BoxeR autography for fans, which is identical to what he did years ago. How can I forget the days of being a crazy fan of him and getting involved so much into the progaming scene? Hot_Bid asked me a similar question once. I didn't know how to reply, truly.
It remainds me a lot. Some stupid and happy old days.
Once I was a high school kid, skipping school, playing SC and watching crappy vods of Coca Cola 2001 final (sorry oldschool days had no HD). Once I wept, because Boxer was defeated by Garimto after his first WCG gold medal. Once my English was horrible, I registered at TL.net soon after it's born. Once I bought my first CD-ROM recorder, because I downloaded too many vods. Once I had a wall of Boxer's photos, which people laught at. Once I bought my first camera by writing progaming reports for magazines. Once I learned a few Korean and thought of being a progaming reporter after college. Once I made hundreds of SC friends. Once I had a bf who also liked Boxer. Once I made a money-saving plan to watch a live game in Seoul. All's gone.
I did watch the latest battle report of SC2, shouting out "how come the Terran beat the Protoss even without a tank?" But I'm feeling old, losing passions. I haven't played SC for years. Instead, I play casual games such as Castle Crashers or SingStar after work.
JCA caught me on MSN few weeks ago, which we hadn't talked for few years before. I told him I'm going to Paris but he said he moved out from Paris. We just realized how many years has passed since he first released BWChart. We all changed.
Please do something, Emperor. Let us know you will take your throne again. No matter SC or SC2.
Such powerful words from such an important person of this community.
Many of the newcomers may not know you, but I do, I still remember, those long posts you used to make, I still remember the way I read your posts in the most amazed way, thinking "I'll write English like that someday, I will learn and I will try my best".
Those days are long gone, I learned and I wrote what I could, I sometimes come off as an ignorant or whatever, but you, and all of this community made me learn something that will serve me for the rest of my life, English.
This was not community alone, as you do, I share the passion of thousands, this love for BoxeR, my cousin and I used to play SC everyday. We talked a lot of what things we could do, and how things will work out if we did them differently or in another way, and the main reason is because we wanted to be like him, like the one mighty player that when you said his name, even people form other games knew about him, He, from those days, was a legend, a true hero walking among followers. Those days were revived in the So1 Star League, when our hero, had to face Pusan, the games were 0-2, and I already lost hope, he then went on to win the series, and all this hope was alive again, I thought "The Emperor is back, our genius has return". In the finals he showed a great play style and gave Anytime a fight for the title, He sadly couldn't win it, but the magic was still there.
Seeing the same photos you saw, I felt so much happiness inside, I remembered all those days, I spent watching reps of him, trying to learn his ways, and his methods. Long days gone, but the hope is still there.
