EPTWho stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to watch him play?
Who watched him bunker rush or proxy rax?
I didn’t even know his HANDLE until I started following pro-StarCraft 2; until I was introduced to TeamLiquid about a year ago. I’ve watched a bunch of his games and read his bio on Liquipedia a thousand times now. I’ve watched countless MLG’s where everyone loses their MINDS when BoxeR plays. My buddy Fallen told me that BoxeR’s play may or may not have given him erections before he knew what erections were.
But as a BW noob, as I’ve previously stated, I didn’t GET IT. Ever watch SportsCenter and hear about some random college star about to be drafted? Yeah yeah, we know about his double-double every game for the last 30 games but I want to know if he’s going to be a Kwame Brown or a LeBron James. Is he Tim Tebow circa first start of 2011 or is he Peyton Manning?
In other words, is this nerd gosu or chobo??
I got my answer at MLG Providence. I was pretty excited just to see him play so I cheered my face off for BoxeR when he played versus Nestea. That room was ROCKIN’. It was LOUD. Nerds really, really, really like BoxeR. I have to admit he plays some crazy, crazy Terran.
What sold it for me though was on Sunday when I went to the bathroom. (Yeah that’s right; this post’s climax is a potty break.) As I stroll over to the men’s room to wait in the inevitable line I spot this massive crowd. I mean MASSIVE. I mean like….let’s just say it was a human version of a force field; blocking the area between the escalator, snack bar, bathroom, and entrance to the hall. Being a little slow, I figured it was some Halo nerds crowded around the most gosu Halo team ever…or something.
As I finished my business and exited, it was like three more force fields of people had surrounded something. But it was this random nerd standing near the water fountain who told me what was up:
“OH MY GOD, BOXER IS STANDING OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE”
I don’t know why I bothered, but I went over to see what was going on. First off, I was instantly repelled; too many people. I GLIMPSED that puffy blue jacket and his baseball cap. But it was INSANITY. People handing over anything to be signed; pictures being snapped like it was Kesha naked on the red carpet; a cacophony of voices that I eventually deciphered as blah blah blah BOXER blah blah blah. Did you guys know that BoxeR wears clothes and breathes air just like us? None of the fan boys or I knew that. It hurt our little nerd heads to find out in real life. I seriously don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone be mobbed like that. And I’ve seen MTV, clips of the Beatles meeting their fans, and been in mosh pits. Never. Never.
BoxeR is the real deal.
Holy. Shit. BoxeR Fighting.
