UpMagic reminded me of boxer so much, it was crazy. Game one, I pretty much thought this was Bisu vs Boxer. Sending his marine/scv force to attack the front while his vults fucked up his main, killing probes on the top ledge, dropship micro.
Crazy crazy XD

Actually this series made UpMagic look clearly different from Boxer to me. Boxer's play is more mentally solid, especially in big & deciding games. Although UpMagic has brilliant strats, he makes lots of micro mistakes and his execution is not so smooth when it really matters.
After Boxer lost his 1st spot in the KeSPA's ranking, he still always played as if he's the greatest player and he's born for the top-notch level of competition in Starcraft. Meanwhile I always have the feeling that UpMagic's just not even sure why he's at this top level competition. Both Boxer and Up take risks and do ballsy move, but in 2 different positions and with different mentality.
I'd love to see Up keep his style, but with a better micro and stronger mental. Then (with some personal charisma), he will become a new Boxer.
