Okay reach didn't do so hot (losing to tossgirl) and all the retired players were pretty bad but Boxer was still churning out entertaining games (which is what you want in an All-star event). I mean during the estars tournament, he had games with 4 rax, nukes, triples starports etc. If you got 18 All-star spots, why wouldn't you give one to Boxer just to see what kind of crazy stuff he'll come up with. | ||

I love nearly ALL of the oldschool players (even intotherainbow and chojja) but absolutely never liked Xellos. He was known as the perfect terran, but his play was very often sloppy, and he rarely ever did anything inventive or even entertaining. | ||

I think Xellos deserves a little more respect than what you're giving him atm xD http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=97332 is a nice interesting article on how Xellos contributed to modern TvT. | ||

He may have contributed to a more dynamic method of playing TvT, but he certainly didn't invent the style. The article gives him a smidge too much credit. And regardless, it's tvt - one of the most notoriously bleh matchups to watch :p | ||

XellOs was the best player in the world at one point.. and pretty much turned GO into CJ. Compare him to fucking Casy.. and Ruby?! Both of whom.. "lack any starpower whatsoever" He'd wipe both their shit He should be on there. | ||

When his friends GoRush, Nal_rA, and ddang (midas) all left GO for greener pastures, he remained with his penniless team, funding them from his winnings. For that alone, he deserves incredible respect. I have incredible personal respect for ALL progamers (even fbh, though he's a giant dick); the life they're leading is certainly a very difficult one and the feats they pull off daily, even the least accomplished of them, are nothing short of superhuman (and generally with a level of humility that I find superhuman as well)- but you just can't use a player's personal life in these kinds of considerations. | ||
