Boxer switching would be HUGE. It would attract so many fans due to his iconic/pioneer position in the SK BW scene. NaDa and July obviously help bring in more fans as well.

I don't really think this means BW proleague will fall off the face of the earth. Kespa will do their best in court to halt Gretech/Blizz lawsuit. It just means that more fans will gravitate towards SC2. Which, in the long run, is a GOOD thing for E-sports.

Interesting regarding Boxers. I saw this vid a while ago:




I was curious if that was the real Boxers back then, but no one was able to confirm. Maybe you guys can?


that is rainbow (not intotherain). it's not the real boxer anyways.

I dunno, Boxer was saying that he wanted to play in Proleague this season so I find him moving to SC2 sort of unliekly

Thats nuts if it is those 3....seems sort of a grab bag, generic descriptions could be a ton of players, nada july and boxer are 3 of the top 10 players of all time and this could definitely be a pipedream

WTF THIS IS BLASPHEMY

Nada boxer and july going over to starcraft 2?!?!?! i'm starting to think savior going to jail really WAS a conspiracy by blizzard, especially since iirc savior was the progamer that said sc2 only required 50 apm and wasn't as good

I can see A beeing July (because it was known by the public that he didnt enter GSL because of his contract) but Nada and Boxer we would have seen something in the news before this I believe. Cant B be someone from Ace that ended contract in june and has now left the team? That would be somewhat "normal" and may have gone under the radar.

Nada and Boxer could infact be those players I just assumed if that happened people would know already.

Um... What is Boxer gonna do in SC2, invent cute builds that will become obsolete after time?

July and especially NaDa will improve SC2 far better in theory. They will bring more into the table by displaying better standard play through macro, game economics, and unit control past the early stages of the game.

Possibly seeing Lee Yoon Yeol and Lim Yo Hwang sitting in their respective booths playing again gives me geek-chills. I swear to God, this might just be the best SC2 related news in a loooong while.

I just hope it's true, man... I hope it's true.

I don't think it's a bad development, players like Boxer and NaDa would really turn the Korean attention to Starcraft 2. Since the APM requirements are relatively low these players could show some great strategic play and possibly compete with the best again.

It isn't great news for BW, but as with all other games it has an expiration date. I really think SC2 can be a replacement for BW if people are open to it instead of being hardcore against anything new.

As for Boxer playing SC2, in his Artosis interview he already mentioned he was playing beta a bit and that he wanted to be competitive as progamer in any game possible. Him transitioning to SC2 isn't really that farfetched. Lots of fans see him as BW symbol, but as a progamer he probably isn't content to sit by the sidelines of a dying game.

As for NaDa, it's probably true as he's already done the showatches with TLO.and has stated he likes the game. July was already confirmed ofc.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Yeah Blizzard totally mindcontrolled Savior into being a cheating, match-fixing fucker. Yep.

Christ. I know Blizzard isn't popular around these parts, but that doesn't mean they have black magic powers.

if i post it in bw, less sc 2 people will read it.
if i post it in sc2, less bw people will read it.

i thought it was more important to bring the news to bw since it's more relevant to bw (ie, korean proscene), than sc2.

I never said his skill will draw fans. In fact it has absolutely nothing to do with skill. Boxer is the biggest name in BW. His name *still* draws enormous attention. Him moving to SC2 would generate a huge buzz for SC2 in Korea. Even if he ends up having a 20% win record, SC2 will embrace a lot more fans.
