That said, he's still The Emperor and the most important figure in Starcraft history. The fans still love him. | ||

It's just that the average standard has increased, so it seems that he's lost his touch His skills/builds are still of the same level. However, we can't really say much since he hasn't played often (his 'recent' losses were mostly when he was in ACE, where it was often mentioned how much they lacked practice partners and stuff) | ||

He recently finished his term and rejoined SKT1, but he's clearly old and out of shape now. The skill level of Progamers these days is just way higher than it was when he was at his peak. That said, he's still The Emperor and the most important figure in Starcraft history. The fans still love him. Boxer was raping face right before he joined airforce. He went like 13-0 vs Zerg a month before he joined up. Now he's regaining his form back in SKT (which is just stacked full of talent atm) | ||

Boxer defeated Savior (in prime), Nal_ra, Flash, Nada, Bisu, free for example while being in ACE. | ||

Boxer is better than he ever was. The field gets better, as time goes. The window to truely dominate the scene is never more than 1 at most 2 years... because players are always training at younger ages, under improved stratagies and training techniques. This explains a lot of stories of a lot of players. Players dont really get worse.... this is there life man. :/ | ||

They're both acting as players on SKT1, but they serve more of coaches than players. Boxer's macro and mechanics are lacking, but he is one of the most brilliant and innovative players ever. So he does good as a player-coach. | ||

I remember when Plexa put this up. While I respected his opinion, the flurry of outrage following it was somewhat of mystery - Even if boxer somehow stopped playing well, he never played bad to the people who followed him. Even his losses were amazing to watch and that transcends what the current field seems to say is needed to be 'good' | ||
