Okay everyone, now here's the REAL news that should take headlines by storm:
BoxeR, in order to help KT's Violet out, has rolled up his own sleeve![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/ajLtw.jpg) YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS-
 SlayerS_`BoxeR`, for the sake of KT Rolster's Violet who is currently in the middle of battling leukemia, has personally decided to come help out himself.
BoxeR, on the 7th, participated in a blood donation event organized by both KT Rolster and KeSPA at Yongsan's iPark Mall.
For the fans that had wanted to help Violet out and but couldn't participate themselves, a blood donation event was prepared for them in front of eSports standing stadium Yongsan iPark Mall, and at this event, BoxeR, along with his Starcraft 2 team junior teammates, visited the blood donation center together at around 6:00 PM.
BoxeR, in order to personally donate blood and who was laying down at his seat with his sleeve rolled up, said, "Even when I was in the army I had never donated blood before, but to be able to help out a junior this way makes me satisfied. If you think about it, to think that someone around us would suddenly fall sick like this is something that you cannot just sit still about," and told us his current state, "In order to build up more skill in Starcraft 2, I've been working more vigorously only on practicing recently."

Although the news about Boxer is a bit offtopic for BW-related news, it's good to hear that he is still involved with the BW scene and is helping out Violet. I think that it's good to report any news about positive movements for Violet, since we should try to be as optimistic as possible for his recovery! With receiving Mantoss's, God Young Ho's, and now the Emperor of Terran's blood, Violet should be an unstoppable force once he makes his recovery. Plus I couldn't resist posting this piece of news since it had the Emperor, aka my fellow birthday sharer involved in it

I saw Kim GaYun tweeting back and forth with KT manager and HOT-Forever (I think, it was one of the kt coaches but i can't remember which) and wondered what it was about, thanks for the translations~
|
If boxer and flash share the same blood group with Violet I expect a marvel superhero in the making...
|
AWWW BOXER :3
And lol @ Flash not making a heart...
|
DAYUM AWESOME.Come on Violet!
|
Violet getting superman-blood right there, he is in good hands 
|
That's just beautiful, thanks for posting this for us ^_^. If possible I'd love to donate blood for Violet~
|
Thanks for translating Spica
|
Flash does know how to make a heart shape. It's just that his heart is the shape of a nuclear missile. Or a stim pack. Not sure which.
|
Rofl.
This is all actually a secret operation to gather the blood of Starcraft's greatest legends into a single being in order to create the world's first second superhuman progamer.
+ Show Spoiler +The first was FlaSh obviously. :p
In all seriousness, gl hf to Violet; don't give up!
|
What coincidental timing that I happen to donate blood today. @____@ lol That's for the translation!
|
|
|
Awwwwww, nice. VIOLET HWAITING!
Also, lol@action's photogenic smile. C'mon Action! Just smile confidently, or death stare.
|
I feel that FlaSh is just making the symbol as a whole, "Get better soon hyung!" Sort of thing.
|
|
|
Haha wow, this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Violet, get well soon. With Boxer,Mantoss and Flash and also his teammates blood, I'm sure he will recover soon.
Violet fighting !!!!!

Sure? I didn't see any news about that event though, either that or I'm blind... I don't really go to any Korean SC2 sites, so their event must have happened before KT's event. KT's event is definitely bigger though, since it's Violet's own team organizing it and Boxer participated in it etc.
|
Awesome news. I like things like this.
Also, I don't know what you're talking about, Flash's heart is pretty solid.
|
GOGOGO VIOLET! Get better soon!
by the way, did our letter ever reach him?

FlaSh + Boxer = SUPER TOSS!!! Screw you Stork and Bisu, we've got FlaSh's babies xD
+ Show Spoiler +Did I say babies? I meant DNA
FlaSh was only making a nuke... showing that after he loses all his motor oil, he will just nuke everything because he's high off the lack of motor oil.
|
my god...
first god young ho
now god jung ho..
kt going to be unstoppable now hehehe
no but seriously, i hope violet gets well soon.. i miss his 3kills in WL and his game style

Back in those days Boxer was more fun to watch.

Flash's heart apm is pretty low, he should work on that.
Violet fighting!
|
|
|
lol, the hell kind of heart is that Flash?
Nice to see Boxer himself join the crowd
|
Flash is a robot, that is what his heart looks like.
OT: Best wishes for Violet, hope he gets better quickly!
|
Violet now has Boxer's blood. GG
|
Heart warming stuff. I hope Violet gets better. I'm always touched by how behind him KT is, and even if I wasn't there fan before I would be after seeing their response.
|
Violet is the Hybrid Protoss now.
|
LOl, flash, nice heart, it looks like two palms just closed together
|
Flash: Heart? What's that
|
I hope he's okay
|
|
|
its nice to know that Boxer is still in touch with BW.
|
Wow I never though Boxer still payed attention to the BW scene, it's nice of him to donate some blood.
Get better Violet!
|
You guys realize Violet won't be getting the blood that was donated right? He'll get vouchers for blood that actually match his bloodtype.
|
I don't know whether the blood goes to Violet or not but if he receives the blood of the Mantoss, God Young Ho and the Emperor himself, he's gonna come back as a superhero. The first Protoss bonjwa - Ultra Violet!
Couldn't resist 
|
receiving manly blood, godly blood and emperor blood
AWESOME
|
|
|
Wow, I never knew. I don't know how close Boxer and Violet were, but I am guessing his diagnosis hit close to home with boxer having already lost someone to the disease.
Either way it's nice to see so many people out there supporting him, stay strong Violet!
|
BoxeR, totally awesome. He is more than a sports icone!
|
What blood type is Boxer? I'd like some Lim Yo Hwan blood in me...
Actually Bisu blood plz.
Violet Hwaiting~!

Man I really hope Violet comes back someday
|
OMG, the emperor's blood!!! I've have 10 bags good to go, sir : )
wutttt, i'm just gonna put it in my fridge for life.... thats alllllll.... REEAALLLY
|
Boxer in the BW fourm? FUCK YEAH! (and I mean FUCK YEAH!)
It seems like what everyone in Korean E-Sports is doing right now is donating blood for Violet, and that's great, but if they're not all the same blood-type can they still give him their blood?
Ladies and gentlemen, clearly, this is a secret South Korean Military conspiracy (not the leukemia the "o hai guys, go give dat blood mmh'kay?"), for the sake of defeating their Northwards neighbors, to gather DNA for the next generation of super-commandos, with lightning fast reflexes, a predilection for aerial harassment and tanks, and brilliant strategic minds. Plus withdrawal symptoms in reference to eating cheese.
|
I wonder how many needles they broke on Reach, don't think he can bleed.
|
if violet survives he will truely imba.
with the blood of boxer and flash combined in his body.
i never thought this fiction would become reality
|
I'm sure having BoxeR:s blood running through your veins must be classed as doping! In all seriousness though, nice to see a big organization showing they care for their members. Violet, get better!

Nice to see boxer donating blood for the secret korean military proje- , uhh I think said too much... Ahh yes, for Violet. Boxer still cares for broodwar after all this time ^_^.
|
Get well NOW Violet!
|
If you got the money and the popularity, this is what you can do.
|
BoxeR... that's why I never bash him even though he left BW for SC2
I swear to god if I'm in Korea I'll go and roll up my sleeves right away. Please get well, Violet.
Also lol, Flash, what the heck were you doing... is that the shape of a nuclear missile lol
|
Nice news, good luck to Violet in his recovery.

Not sure if this has been posted yet.
But Violet visited the KT practice house before the Oz game:

That's really heartwarming. It's good to see everyone helping each other and also raising awareness with a community drive.
Get well soon Violet!
|
Don't forget that the SC2 team Incredible Miracle also held (or is holding) a blood drive for Violet as well.
So, Violet is literally going to be infused with the blood of the best of Starcraft, both BW and SC2. We cannot fathom the monstrous bonjwa that will result.
Glad to see the entire e-sports community transcend the drama and come together to help their fellow comrade fight this dreaded disease. Even if Violet doesn't need all the donated blood, at least it will go to others in need of it.
