It looks like he MIGHT not go into the army, but he will probably quit progaming as we speak.
"The 24-year-old Lim was expected to retire from professional games and enter military service during the year. However, Lim recently said he plans to enter graduate school at Wonkwang Digital University and postpone his military service, fearing that his absence might work as a deal breaker between 4U and SK Telecom."
Wow he might going to study at wonkwang (weird name -_-) but he has to go into the military when they turn 24yrs (korean i thnk yeah).

I wonder how much SKT will give them... maybe the next KTF in bw scene?
|
hmm why "he might quit"... it seems to me he is trying not to quit as much as he can...
|
we say wonGwang not wonKwang.
|
If his absence would work as a deal breaker, doesn't that mean that he's not quitting, and will continue to play for the team during his first year of college?

no, it was to enter graduate school to delay military service till age 27, and do progaming till then

I think its a really good move on Boxer's part, to stick around for another 3 years.
He's still the most popular pro gamer, even if he is no longer as good. If he were to just evaporate from the pro scene, it would be a big blow. As long as he's still involved, it attracts more people.

boxer is like michael jordan

I hope boxer doesn't flunk out in like 1 month and be forced to go to the army 
|

I highly doubt that boxer will flunk in anything. Even if he was a complete moron, with the amount of money he's making, he can afford some really really good tutors. Hell, pay off the teacher =).

Wax is swearing, so whoever he's directing his statements to must be wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Boxer practice around 12 hours a day (and play for fun another 4 or so) when he first made his climb to the top? It seems to me that he probably doesn't practice that much any more, what with his duties to team, his cafe, and publicity in general.
So it seems that while he is able to maintain his level without the intensive practices, he doesn't improve.
And he's still top 5 Terran in the world.
I think that shows just how far ahead of the pack he was.
|
There's no way in hell he played sixteen hours of brood war a day. That would mean he only played BW and slept, nothing more. Eight hours I could believe. Tweleve that's stretching it, but still doable.... but sixteen? Trust me, not even boxer is that one dimensional.
|
If he quits he should become a commentator or something.
|
yeah i saw in an interview somewhere that he played 9 hours
|
I wanna see Boxer play fastest

Korean universities probably have the following classes in the curriculum:
Starcraft Economics
Handspeed Improvement 101
Cheesy Uniform Design
Upgrade Math
Zerg Biology
Mechanical Engineering Bay
