Exactly, in fact, if he did entertain, the people on here would probably start calling him "cocky" or something stupid like that. I could just see it: "Is Boxer Cocky?" Read more here. | ||

"You know probably 1/10000 about the situation at hand here." All the way to your young boy description of people who want good games, your post was filled with garbage. I will attempt to try and have a proper argument and counter some of your arguments that arent filled with trash. You say that progamers should do everything they can to win. How would you feel if every single game turned out to be 5-10 minute games filled with 9pools, bunker rushes, proxy gates, and proxy raxes? Do you actually like watching these games? What would happen if when YOU played starcarft, every game would end within 10 mins? Every game you would either win by cheese or lose by it. Im 100% sure you wouldnt be playing this game for long. You say that they shouldnt care about entertaining us. I think they should. Entertainment is the only thing that will keep the fanbase alive. You have to accept that there is a LARGE majority of people out there who actually like long entertaining games. Delivering garbage games like these will do nothing but push them away. If all boxing matches started to end up in 1 round knockouts, nobody will be attracted to watch it. I for one would stop watching it. I watch boxing (and like millions of other people) in hope of that amazing back and forth fight where the boxers give it their all. I remember fights not because they lasted 1 round, but because they went all the way to the 12/14 round where both fighters toughed it out and gave it everything they had. This was also a Boxer vs Yellow CLASSIC. There is no better way to promote this game then have a classic series of back and forth action. Thats why I like players like Nada and Iloveoov (well i dont really like iloveoov but he entertains me) who are able to deliver high quality games. If I want some crappy ass games filled with bunker rushes, ill go play in wgtour myself. Series like these do nothing to promote starcraft. I stayed up all night hoping I would get a good series and all I get is a "Fuck You, I play to win". How do you think this makes me feel? | ||

OGN's duty is to entertain people, so they pay players in hope games will be entertaining (I can't see how fast maps would help in any way) Players just play to win tho, so I see nothing wrong with what Boxer did. | ||

Most 30 minute EPIC DRAMA games don't have any moment as exciting as when that bunker is building and yellow desperatly tries to fend it off. Rather than concede an advantage early and play conservatively, yellow played his best and tried to win. That's what SC is all about. No one that truly understands SC enjoys the macro wars games where one player is just trying to hold their advantage by throwing troops upon troops at their opponent. Is this "macro game" your referring to actually using your SCVs to mine? Youre right though, you seem to understand SC like no else does. | ||

[B] Delivering garbage games like these will do nothing but push them away. If all boxing matches started to end up in 1 round knockouts, nobody will be attracted to watch it.

You yourself state that these boxers gave it their all. Well the Boxer did the same against Yellow, he used a weakness, saw a chance to win and took it. He did what he could do to win. In a boxing match the same thing will happen, both fighters give it their all. You don't think that if one of them thinks they know a weakness of the opponent, something they might be able exploit, that they won't use it just incase it might make the match end sooner? | ||

And apparently it was unforgetable and most controvertial bo5 ever. ONG will get attention and boxer will get more fans (maybe not right away but after a while when ppl we see these games differently) BTW I bet more ppl will download and analize this game then reach vs Oov (which was, I have to say, quite good) | ||

Thats why we have WWF for that. But most of us prefer true rivaly, play to win thats why Italian soccer league, the patriots ....ect. are still around. Lastly, Boxer has always been the most entertainment sc player (garimto is second) ever. | ||

Put yourself in HIS shoes. He's not seeing a dime more if he makes the matches more entertaining. He's supposedly going to be retiring or something for the army sometime down the road anyway (that is the situation, right?), so even IF that one series had any long-term effect on his fanbase, or the prosperity of the game, he would be gone before it had any real effect. It may not have been the most entertaining, or the most incredible display of talent, but it's not about that. | ||

Im 100% sure you wouldnt be playing this game for long. there has to be a way to counter this strat 100%. and the players wont do cheese strats all the way, becuz it wouldnt be surprising anymore. imagine in the finals, both players woukld go cheese rush -> wont work, cuz both know they go cheese...so it would be more effective to try a strat to defend the rush and try to gain an advantage for mid / late game.

Entertainment is the only thing that will keep the fanbase alive. i suppose u didnt understand the maintheme about sports (i even suppose u dont do any competitive sports). its all about winning. to make it easy, an example: -basketball: why the hell shouldn't i penetrate to the basket alone and make the points, when my way is free. -> a pass to a member of my team would just be useless and timewasting. translateted to sc/bw: if there is oppertunity to win the game then use it! they dont play for us. they play first to win second for themselves and third for their team.

I used to greatly admire his unique style, but nowadays the only wins he gets in starleagues are the ones he cheesed. He never beats anyone after earlygame. I think Boxer should just retire and leave the pro scene, and maybe go to army or something. His micro is fucking insane, but that is useless because he stinks at everything else. I don't think he deserves all the admirations fans any more. | ||
