good to know about s-class

boxer is definitely the best and brightest out of the old stars. You can see in his games that he has the DRIVE and DETERMINATION to win.

the other old people just dont have the fire in their eyes anymore. looking at saviour u see that his eyes are mostly glazed over.

but looking at boxer, we see a man determined to be the best. I have faith that he will win prominently again. Right now i would say he's a B-class player, but he has the determination and drive to go from B->S class.

The difference between A and S class players is that fire within, which is why boyish people like FBH and Yarnc do well, but do not win. Boxer just needs his skills to be A-class, and he will dominate again.

its pretty unlikely that boxer will win at the same level he once did.

well, he would have to catch up about 3 years of development in both metagame and mechanics that he has missed. i doubt that he will return to a-class form before sc2 is released.

but still, boxer is not bad on an absolute scale. compared to the top players of 2009 he is indeed bad though. no fucking way in the world for him to win a bo7 series against jd, bisu or flash right now.

I also think he's "B-class" right now, if you want to call it that. If you look at player skill, we can kind of divide players into groups:

Superstars (Flash, Bisu, JD and IMO Fantasy and Effort also belong in this group right now)
On the verge of superstar performance (Leta, Clam, Canata, Yarnc)
These two categories are what I'd consider "S-class" although some people would not include the second category as part of S-class and some people might say Fantasy and Effort need to do more to prove themselves before being labeled on the same level as Flash, Bisu, JD.

Strong performers (proleague line-up regulars, Starleague regulars) (for example, the 6 Dragons who are not Bisu)
This category is what I'd call A-class. I do not consider Boxer a part of this category. We may not even see Boxer playing in the Proleague Grand Finals, so it's much too soon to put him here.

Bottom of the A-team (players who are listed as A-team but aren't normally in the line-up) (Boxer and Savior are in this category right now...)
This is what I'd call B-class.

B-team / moderately strong Minor League players
This is what I'd call C-class.

Practice partner / players with bad results (Tossgirl probably belongs here. I think most people are unnecessarily hard on her, but if you look at her results, there are a whole string of losses. In the end, results are what counts.)
This is what I'd call D-class.

I don't have an F-class seeing as how F is a failing grade. I guess you could say that F-class is someone who really should not be a progamer, but that's not something that can easily be said. I mean, look, Ameba was considered deadlast among the practice partners but right now he is 2-0 in the majors. The people who thought he couldn't make it were wrong it seems.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature
