To be honest I hate every person who suggested he play SC2 instead. That would just be the loss of all dignity for Yellow. Boxer, an unbelievable legend, has already been brought down so low. It's not just about being able to live as a progamer, it's about being the best... You can't be the best if you purposely try to go somewhere with softer competition. That would just be too sad... I don't want to see any more legends desecrate their careers this way.

Do you even know what Boxer is doing in SC2?


Losing?
Or creating the greatest sc2 team ever...

edit: But let's not derail this thread. It's indeed sad to see Yellow retire. I for one was hoping to see him play for at least once(like reach did).

BoxeR didn't create neither oGs nor MvP.

And neither of those teams won 2 back to back team leagues.... just saying.


How the hell could MvP ever be considered the best team?

And oGs have been demolished in just about every team league.

Aww! This is so sad! Yellow was never my favorite player, but I still liked him! It's just always sad to see a pro gamer leave, they're just too few I hope he changes his mind!

I will always remember his complete domination of Boxer on River of Flames and Plains to Hill in some replays I downloaded in 2002.

Sad that he didn't manage to finally win a gold like Chojja did
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

Am I missing something here or do some of you need to learn some SC2 history?

The most dominant team right now is SlayerS, which Boxer has created. Ever since Boxer has been improving greatly now that he can concentrate on his own play again. He still shows great creativity and owned Idra, argued to be one of the best Zergs by many (though I only consider Idra to be an average Zerg).

Sounds like Yellow still has a grudge against Boxer leaving? I remember he criticized boxer for going to sc2... and his statement seems to have underlying indication of a similar comparison. Although I could be wrong and it doesn't even matter.

I'm so sorry to the fans who still have big expectations of me
But I'm endless ashamed of myself for subtly clinging here because of that.

Because I still prefer a life of seeking challenges instead of shelter
I want to start trying new challenges, under the name of a new beginning.

I wonder if he'll still stay within the esports field in some capacity or another
When SC2 came for BW, I cried. Now LoL/Dota2 comes for SC2, and I laugh. \o/

Nobody could match YellOw's passion for this game. Even though he's going out with dignity, it's still hella sad.

His game vs bisu was one of the most epic games, just because of the context of it.
