wut about slayers?
I don't think there's any slayers clan. Boxer has slayer because he wanted his name to sound cool, I think
xD
Slayers was a really good Swedish player at the time, and it was Boxer's goal to be better than him. So SlayerS_Boxer is kind of like Slayers sparring partner, or fighter.
are you trolling or are you being serious?
Boxer was a tester (as in, the guy who plays new members to test them out) in a guild called Forever and his ID was ForeveR@BoxeR. After the guild broke up, he kept the BoxeR part of his ID, but wanted a fierce sounding word to add with it. He looked up 'slayer' in an English dictionary and that's how he got SlayerS_`BoxeR`. It has nothing to do with Slayer (who was Norwegian and not Swedish) or that anime/manga series called Slayers (I've seen tons of people say Boxer got his name from that series. He didn't.)
If anyone tries to argue with me about this, I swear I will fucking murder you.
How about this - you're wrong.
One thing I remember very well about Lim yoHwan is an interview that was done w/ him, I believe, around the time when he made his Orion team, he said himself, when asked about his SlayerS tag, was that he watched the anime back in the day and there was a character named Boxer on the show..
Thus explains the iD.
Bring it on humpty-dumpty
But ya - There was a thread created long ago, along w/ a similar talking about clan channels on east/west/euro for all the team/clans (obviously back before ICC was around and everyone went there)
But 1 of the threads explained all the meanings of the tags.
Like old school clan [AKUTA] which was All knowledge, Use to attack.
and n.Die_ I'm guessing being never.die_Jaedong etc.
but ya - some of them are kinda nice.

I remember [gm] was really stacked a little bit before Stork became an actual progamer - I remember testie stating here on the forums "watch out for a kid named Stork, kids going to be a monster one day"
I remember 3 protoss's came out of that clan and I thought they were all pretty much the same, since they were all from same clan (figured they all practiced a lot and shared similar play-styles, which of course prolly has changed to date)

oh, and tester[gm] too, which was really hot for a time - then he totally fell off =[
1 Protoss player that I think either retired or just vanished that was

I remember watching a lot of that guys replays back in the day - when replays 1st came out, before u had to worry about them being bugged - and before apm trackers etc. Then patches came out and all the v Z replays went to shit ;O
gL
course he is right. he needs to go burn something now
How about this: I actually own Boxer's DVD and he tells the story of how he found his ID. And guess what? It's the
same fucking story I just posted here.
Die in a fire.
