If Boxer didn't do this from BEFORE he became a progamer, you wouldn't be talking about him and no one would know him for his micro.
What a sad world we would be in.

NaDa was in IS when it collapsed, that was during Panasonic OGN. Then he joined KTF with Yellow and they stayed until January 2003, and left together to Toona SG. Then Yellow left and went back to KTF. What is this IS you speak of? I think I know it by another name.

There are other reasons though. its the fact that he looks like a kid in pictures yet hes beating a man aka boxer isnt it and also that he has a huge adams apple just admit it
Dangster pretty much hit it on the spot, I never liked Nada because he looks sickly [ Kinda like Salmosa ] and what I've seen of him [ Whilst in Korea and in VODS ] is what I think is alot of bm, although he does have a reputation of having the opposite. He's alot younger [ I believe ] than the other progamers yet I've seen him act kinda laid back around them, so that kinda bothers me.
Idk, it's one of those rare cases when you just don't like somebody even if you haven't said anything to each other. Just by looking at him in real person my feelings were further affirmed.

Uck, my fault I thought I read it, "boxer vs nada 17-15" lol :D.

kingdom used to be in hanbit and he followed boxer to orion. while after the collapse of IS turning into K-Tec Plus, rainbow decided to follow boxer. then boxer started his "recruiting camp" and got oov, zerglee, kos and them 3 amatuers. but, ideally, if IS was in this time, it would be virtually invincible, i think mumyung went to t1 because boxer and mumyung are friends or something? or it probably wasnt boxer's idea to get mumyung? maybe the mananger.

boxer uses both mouse scroll and keyboard scroll. He only uses his key scroll when his mouse is busy, since he is a mouse player instead of a keyboard player.
Just thought I had to inform 'bigmomma' of that.

Yes and more specifically he's one of the only famous players who uses it extensively during his micro.

I might get killed for this, this is just MY opinion on Boxer.
I think he focus too much on 'tricks' (which is his style) to win the game, rather than hardcore macroing.

I always thought it was so endearing the way mumyung looked when he played

When boxer picked out OOv, oov had done NOTHING beyond 2000 gamei with all races.. NOTHING.
Hasn't Sudaboy been around for quite awhile now? I remember that he was in the Challenge League prelims or something when Boxer's new Orion team first debuted.

kOs was a monster in the 4th KPGA tour during the group rounds. I think his final group score put him at the top, was close to undefeated, and he looked like a huge favorite to win the thing (or as much of a favorite as one could look when playing in a league with an unstoppable Nada). His TvZ just failed him when he played Chojja in the semifinals.

Boxer the great decided that he wanted this tub of goo to play for SKT1.
Then all of a sudden, no one was insulting him anymore. The pot shots had ceased. The frenzy was over.
And now, no one ever talks about him anymore (except FA, but honestly he would have an opinion on the colour of yellows shoes and how it effects his game play).
SO, I ask you now. Where do YOU stand on this gamer.
Is your love for SKT1 greater than your hate of his years of mediocrity?
I for one still hate Mumyung. He's a boring macro player that has embarassingly crappy micro and multi-task. In his recent game vs. TheMarine, the Terran built ONE rine, allowing Yung to pop his cherry and take the game for free. But no my friends, this is Mumyung we're talking about. He allowed TheMarine to drag his death out another 15 minutes!!!! Fighting EXCLUSIVELY with wraiths and sci-vessels TheMarine kill wave after wave of attack-moved (or it seemed like it) hydras. Each one of those wraiths must've had 25 kills. Irradiates filled the air.
Fine, Yung won...eventually. With no grace, art or pro-level control at all. It was a disgrace to pro-gaming. For god-sakes, even I could've taken the map and thrown units until I won and I suuuuuuuuuck at this game.
I hate Mumyung, and what's worse, I hate the fact that he's getting sudden respect for having a small winning streak and joining a popular team. He sucks, and though I love SKT1 I'm not afraid to say it.
Now what do you guys think?
Neutral...But I think he's alright. No reason to be a hater.

Go TerAto!! Make TerAto thread.
I'm praying that kid gets his act together. Mumyung too. MuMyung is good but acts really dumb in heated situations (or any game period).
Does BoxeR train the new comers? Or do they just all game each other (they being the team).

They practise together for like 10 hours (?) a day.

Just thought I had to inform 'bigmomma' of that.
What's amazing about him is that he's a pioneer, doing stuff that people wouldn't have imagined, and not because of his uber micro. Why?
Because his micro(Lockdown, blind, irradiate cloning, mm microk, dropships) can be easily replicated by other pros such as Nada and Xellos once it has been shown.
That is why I still see there's a flaw in using arrow keys: Players such as Nada and Xellos can pull the same tricks (but of course they're not inventive as Boxer) w/o a single touch on those arrow keys and have better macro than Boxer.
Also Abyss, it seems like from your comment, that you're implying Boxer discovered all these great tricks with the use of arrow keys.
I think differently and that he could probably be just as creative regardless if he started out using arrow keys or not.
