Im just complaining at the total lack of quality of the games. I had friday off today and I was gonna spend a part of it relaxing and watching these games. Then I saw the poll which asked if Boxer was a pansy or not and I knew my friday afternoon was ruined, not because he won, but because the games sucked major ass. | ||

And I don't think he missjudged at all the situation. What the hell is 6 pool vs a 8 rax? What YellOw did was the best he could have done without maphack: hatchery before pool, the only way I could possibly think about not to be behind in middle game versus someone like Boxer. An earlier scouting drone would have been costful, and useless. Nothing else. Boxer got lucky by mapping, position, whatever. His bo was adapted, he played great, used the game at his advantage. We all know the only thing to blame is the maps they played on. Yes, maps. YellOw didn't choose them. Nor did Boxer. But he was advantaged, and won because he's among the best Broodwar players. I hope we'll see some really balanced map in the future. Because now, everything's just so wrong... | ||

They just played chess. Or poker, or whatever. Boxer's first and second build were early attack directed. YellOw just thought that it would be easy for Boxer to play safe till the end and still manage to win a game. I'm pretty sure he would have done a hatchery-before-pool build in a fourth game if it was bo7. Because -again- that was the smartest thing he could have done. And, NO, despite those games, I don't think Boxer is better than YellOw; I really think they are kind of equals at the moment. YellOw got unlucky, and such a little advantage become a real burden when you're at such a high level of progaming. | ||

Their is no easy win vs boxer? well check the latest game of july vs him, he ran over him with 2 groups of lings and a group of lurks in what, 10 minutes? If earlier scouting or a pool before hatch bo prevents you from losing the game in 3 minutes, it is NOT worth it? that does not make sense. Yellow doing the best he could and still getting owned twice within 10 minutes? doesnt make sense either. Those maps might not be 100% balanced, but still balanced enough to win if you're the better player, regardless of your race. vs july, boxer attacked sunkens with no medics and lost all his marines. hence the lurkling runover. boxer threw that game. maybe for all the ogn practicing they did together like someone suggested =D. i think in yellow's opinion, his 2 hat build was fine, and he does not regret it. well maybe now he does, lol. | ||

What do you mean by REAL game of starcraft? Boxer prefers short, micro oriented build games to long drawn out macro oriented games. This, however, does not make it any less real. | ||

He thought a bit and found that the greatest chance of him winning was the early game. But he didn't want to disappoint people into thinking it's a cheese rush, and therefore went barracks at the 8th scv. However, Yellow had no defense for the early attack! And with Yellow's gg, it looks like a cheese rush. Maybe it was, but I'm sure it wasn't meant to be one, unless it would secure Boxer a victory. | ||
