Ok so this might be a silly question but was Boxer A or A+ (if there is such a thing) ?
Naz- He was a Bonjwa. For a time, he was the undisputed best BW player in the world. Show nested quote +On December 28 2011 06:58 Chronald wrote:
HuK def not A rank.
Most likely B/B+, since he tried to 2base vs 2base on LT in PvT, no A rank would do that. A- as Terran.

Man, Boxer is rusty. That was C- level play. Fun to watch though. I heard from somewhere that both of them had issues with the different hotkeys. Maybe that played a small factor. It really does throw people off when half the hotkeys on right side of the keyboard after playing a game where the majority of the hotkeys are on the left side. P for Probe 4 lyfe pppppppppppppppppp Didn't HuK say he hotkeys 0 to Nexus and P for probe in SC2 because of BW in a Day9 daily? You think that's crazy? ForGG doesn't hotkey his production buildings. He actually goes back to his base every 30 seconds and builds out of them individually like in BW.
No he doesn't. (ForGG)
The only thing he is doing is that he hotkeys 2 orbitals on 9 and 0, and use only scans there.
The other command centers he doesnt have hotkeyed. And he is using them for mules.

Naz- BoxeR transcended the ranking system. I'm pretty sure he hit Olympic on iCCup smurf accounts from what I remember, but he's one of the greatest BW players of all time and can't really be ranked on the same scale as a B-  edit: Olympic being higher than A+
Well technically it was the same rank, but the icon was awarded for reaching 15000 points.(it carried the same weight as if you were A+ i mean)

pretty sad about HD forgetting unit names

The most interested thing about the game they played is that they played it on LAN.

Never got into Brood War, but every time I watch it, I wish I did...

It's never too late.
Watch a stream and head into the LR thread or IRC. BW fans are always super nice, and they'll answer any questions.

I also wish I got into Brood War before sc2 came out

Why? Now you can get into Brood War AFTER SC2 came out! Most of didn't, so be proud or your accomplishment!

Not to burst your bubble guys but Savior and Flash were/are the only Bonjwas .. Boxer was definitely not one of them. Some can argue Jaedong and iloveoov.
User was warned for this post

The accepted list is Boxer, Iloveoov, Nada, Savior, and Flash.

Is this a fact or personal opinion?
I'm not claiming to be knowledgeable in the ways of BW, but I do like learing about the history of competitive gaming. I've spend time reading Chobopeon's StarCraft Bible and TL's Liquipedia and they tell me a different story.

Boxer did win over 200 proleague games so I guess that puts him on the list.

LOL, a random noob arguing Boxer isnt a bonjwa. Blasphemy!

It's only one making the statement that he isn't,
I'm asking a question.
And one providing some information.
I wouldn't call it arguing.
Calling us all "noobs" is pretty unwelcoming. Especially to individuals trying to show they have a genuine interest in Starcraft history.

I wasnt talking about you. To answer your previous question, it is pretty much fact as bonjwas were crowned by the Korean community and commentators. Savior was given the title bonjwa first, then Boxer, Nada and iloveoov was given retrospectively.
Flash wasnt called bonjwa by koreans, he is above bonjwa as he is called 'God'. Yea, kinda weird call him that but there you go.
p.s. Im in a nasty mood today for odd reasons...

I would say by today's standards (after the release of SC2 and hence the decrease in player numbers on iCCup) that this is even worse than C- level, but that is beside the point. Wave of nostalgia right here, ex-BW SC2 pros should have fun matches like these more often :D
|
hmm in my opinion the game wasn't actually that high lvl, but even though I think it's always a pleasrue to watch Boxer's once again great commentary

My apologies also, the cold weather and lack of sleep made me a bit edgy.
Thanks for information, I did not know about the Flash <> "god" part yet.
On a side-note, as a proud owner of one of the Jim Raynor USB sticks, which contains BW, I've now started playing BW.
After watching several hours of BW on the stream of - nanashin - I felt the need to feel how BW plays nowadays.
I say nowadays, as I did play all Starcraft campains, back in the day, just never the multi-player.

Didnt seem to me like any of them were playing seriously, so you cant really rank the game on any scale in my opinion. But super funny to watch, played brood war myself though never really enough to get good at it.

bw is essentially a better game, because of 3 specific units. Vulture, Lurker, Reaver
anyway, fun game indeed
