There is no other progamer that all other progamers [ and especially the ' Kings ' Nada, Oov, July, Garimto etc ] mutually agree that he is the greatest caretaker of progamers and the game itself. The way Boxer has carried himself has demanded respect from every progamer that will ever play the game or has ever played the game at a competitive level. They all see him as an older brother and any of the success that any progamer receives at its very core owes some of itself to Boxer's accomplishments. | ||

Before July, zerg had no meaningful tournament victories. July, not Yellow, was the great zerg hope. As far as better player, perhaps July above YellOw, due to wins. However, influence - YellOw is higher. July himself admits that his style is basically based on the Jinho StormZerg. So in terms of influencing the scene and the play of the game, YellOw is still top Zerg. | ||

Yellow is aggressive, but July takes aggression to a completely different level and he deserves credit for that. And again, I feel that July's big tournament wins gave hope and motivation to zerg players... something which Yellow's repeated failures in zvt finals did not do. EDIT: And if we're going to talk about playstyle influence... Byun wins. Yellow's game was practically the same as Byun's but with better execution. | ||

He won tournaments, were extremely talented(He has now switched to poker, and has becomed a "multi millionare" 2-3 million dollars, has it been said) He also played his way up to go to Korea, where he won the KBK. He has a documentary that probably many of you have seen, where people like Grrrr gives comments about his extremely fast hands, bit talent and etc.(If i can recall correctly) He also got invited to be a progamer. I find this very impressive, although it was in the very early era of progaming. Yea thats why I think slayer would have been like NaDa or Iloveoov or any pro gamer today ++ in his skill if he continued to pro game all of those years.. the kid was a genius. And 2-3 Mill in poker nice  | ||
