Boxer a pansy? That's just ridiculous. He simply punished Yellow for carelessly fast expanding, EXACTLY LIKE Kingdom punished Junwi in MyCube OSL semis. Fast expanding without even knowing where your opponent is is suicide vs someone who trained that much and is as strong as Boxer at timing. Doing it three times in a row was utterly stupid. The one to blame is definitely Yellow, although I feel really sorry for him.

Like between Kingdom and Junwi, it's like Yellow couldn't adapt to Boxer's aggressive timing rushes and sticked to the BOs he had practiced. I's not even like he's one of those "sauron zergs" with average micro who can never win without expanding everywhere. Yellow is hands down the best zerg in the world when it comes to ZvT micro. 9 pool would have been a really viable/safe strategy there.

By the way, calling Boxer a pansy is ignoring all the creative/crazy stuff he's done. This guy has balls, and nobody would be criticizing him if Yellow properly countered his rushes.

How come you all blame boxer? As drone already said, i doubt boxer expected his strat to work "that" well. Rather blame Yellow for falling for this shit 3! times in a row. I thought highly of yellow before this series, but now i think that July is a much better player overall, he plays smart and forces the terran to play his game, while yellow just plays standard stuff very well. imo someone such as July would've ran over a boxer playing like that

sure u can blame yellow, but doesnt change the fact that this final was BORING, and nothing like the other semi between oov and reach. I had really high expectation for this match, and thought we would get some long micro intense zvt games, instead we got a 15 minute alltogether cheesefest.

Its not like he couldnt have beaten Yellow in longer games, he just did the same strat 3 times which is not creative at all.

WHat if yellow did the 9pool that you suggested. what if boxer did a 9pool safe build?

yellow wouild have still been behind. That's why yellow did the same opening again

The games were boring, I didn't deny that.



Yes, and Yellow did the same opening three times in a row, as well.

1st game: Yellow does opening A. Boxer does opening B and rapes Yellow.
2nd game: Yellow does opening A. Boxer does opening B and rapes Yellow again.
3rd game : Yellow does opening A.

Man, he fucking asked for it.
