He will retire at the age of 30 (his dream was that, not sure in korean age or not) and still "“For the fans, I’ll try hard again”" *tears* gooooooooo Boxer!!!

Thanks for doing this, I was halfway done with this yesterday, but the stuff about FA seemed interesting and important and I didn't want to mess it up and confuse people by accident.

Going from the translation it merely states his contract ends in less than a year, not his career. I think contract renewal doesn't happen 1 year before it runs out. Also, the wording suggests (unless done purposely to fool you) that it's less than 1 year, but definitely more than 6months (around 9 months). Otherwise it would be "in a bit more than 6 months" or something along those lines.

He stated at some point that he still wants to be a pro-gamer at 30 (should the possibility arise). Therefore I believe his intention is not to retire (or at least he is undecided).

So basically, he didn't say anything...

"I think there is a connotation associated with Nuke usage, but I think Nukes are not useless. Its power is devastating, and you can destroy Zerg’s late-game defensive lines with Nukes."

^^When Boxer goes Nuke, it's nothing about joke, HE REALLY MEAN IT^^

This guy is just awesome

Would be sad if Boxer were to retire after his contract ran out, or even move to a new team =/
Non-SKT Boxer just... doesn't feel right, at all.

Boxer as a playing coach like oov is pretty inevitable. Frankly, with Boxers ridiculous understanding of the game for a team not to hire him as a coach would be stupid.

I am sure thats some kind of misunderstanding, Boxer retiring from SC means end of SC!

As well as his ridiculous charm ... Any team that manages to sign Boxer will have their fan base increase by at least 200% I shit you not.

Great! Hope Boxer can do more to the esports scene though, not just play for a team.

Boxer will stay a part of esports, I'm sure of it. He's such an iconic figure that he will always be used in advertising and stuff. And if Nalra can become a commentator then Boxer obviously could too. But yea, I hope he becomes a coach.
