Are you blind? Did you even bother to read the OP?

The only foreigner to win an OSL - (P)Grrrr... (Hanaro Communication Tooniverse OSL, 99/00)

Grrrr... is pretty much the first foreigner to go to Korea, beat Boxer in a broadcasted event during his early prime and win a OSL, what more do you want?

Yeah, that doesn't put him on the same level as Boxer.

Great post. I especially like the last part (longest, shortest, draw games).

imo, you could add Elky to the list, to make foreigners look slightly "better"

just cause hes foreigner and won, doesnt mean hes on the same level as boxer. you could say the same for all the other 1-timer players, doesnt mean just cause they won once means that they are boxer level.

I don't think it quite makes sense to combine the records from the two separate eras (due to the vastly contrasting set of circumstances), but it certainly would be interesting to come up with a similarly themed trivia filled post for the ASL.

Take the following trivia below for example,

The oldest player to record a victory within the ASL: PuSan (aged 32 years 3 months 9 days)

Should this record replace BoxeR's record despite it not being televised anywhere? Should it be taken into consideration since the stature of online streaming has grown so much compared to the past? Should the average age of the contestants being so high compared to the past be also taken into consideration? BoxeR beat Killer, who made his professional debut more than seven years after BoxeR's debut as a professional, whereas PuSan beat Stork for his record within the ASL, a contemporary peer roughly speaking, in terms of the timing of his debut as a professional gamer (they both won their Courage Tournament in 2004).

If the influx of new Brood War talent slowed down enough at an earlier point in time (hypothetically speaking), wouldn't it be possible for BoxeR to simply break his own record playing versus his contemporary peers over and over again?
