Q : Your training must be pressuring. A : We both know each other well so I think it will be a fight of brains. If it was long time ago I would leave the team house and practice other place but now I am the older one so..If both of us practice at the team house I can spy on Oov's strats (He laughs) | ||

Anyway, its funny how people praise boxer for this strategy (they should), but i'm pretty sure if it was Silent_control who made this everybody would have said "this is the only way he can win or something like that... silent control sucks, he has to do such things etc etc".. | ||

I had not stayed up to watch the match. I had to shoot a short film today so i needed my sleep. Perhaps if I had stayed up like the rest of you all, I'd be disappointed. But since I didn't, I was privy to the game through live post reports in the forum free of the burden of overexpectation. While reading the reports, I was completely enthralled. I think that's because I was forced to take a step back. Like any movie where expectations are too high, too often they are not met. What we wanted was a classic. That's what we got: a game of sc chess, condensed, told through a low unit micro battle. How? Boxer forced yellow to play his type of micro-intense game. Yellow saw Boxer's hand , called it, but did not have the ability to win the battle. But whereas if Boxer failed in his first attack, the game would not be over, they'd both start back at one; but for Yellow's wager, he did not have enough collateral. A loss in his gamble meant a loss of the game. In this way, Boxer played smarter by taking the higher percentage bet. For the same bet with the same hands being repeated by both players -- the results speaks volumes on how risky Yellow played and relatively safe Boxer did. | ||

Although Boxer is an incredibly strategic player, on the other hand I think I've developed a certain immunity to his strategies now. In the end, I think it's a fight of mental force Immunity? Where did it go? | ||

He lost by SAME strat 3 in a row and didn't do anything. Yellow is known as poor zerg but last night he was rich and lost. huh. Yellow! Boxer is a timing god vs zerg. As we see Boxer interview he wanted control fight but... poor yellow. The strat was just perfect for yellow's strat. | ||
