Boxer has spent his whole life building Esports to the point where it is viable to have a career in it.

So what happens when he stops winning? If SC2 was never made he would have been stuck being a show match legend who can't beat the real competition. He doesn't have an education so what does he do when the SC2 competition starts getting serious? I just think he should try something else before it's too late.

esports is an industry. boxer is a legend. he could coach, he could manage, he could commentate. this game is the man's life.

To be honest I don't think Boxer will have a problem getting a job in anything E-sports related. On top of that I'm sure he's quite wealthy allready. A few good placements in future GSL's and he could happily retire.

He's not playing for the money though as he states. He just loves E-sports and want to show that the older generation still can be awesome.

For those who haven't seen it yet:

Great news :D Though it was known for a while now, I guess the 'real' and not-so-great news is that he's quitting BW for good now. Which is kind of sad
But on the other hand, I'd rather see him win in SC2 than lose to some nonamer in BW.


Daaaamn, TLO! Having Boxer as your fan...

Is it just me or is Boxer really nice towards foreign players? He was nice to Idra too when he ran into him on that replay posted a while back.

omg Boxer


I'm not surprised he made up his mind a long time ago. I remember Artosis did a video tour of the SKT house and interviewed Boxer and he said that he had an important announcement to make about his future that he would make later on in the year. It's clear that was referring to this switch.

Good luck in the GSL Boxer!

Lim Yohwan fighting! Let's just pray to the jesus that he makes it past qualifiers so all the noobie fans like me can finally see the Emperor on tv.

on a more serious note, is there any news about what team he is now affiliated with? it seems like he's obviously quite good at the game, with such good winrates on both accounts, as well as going toe-to-toe with both IdrA and TLO, but I have a hard time believing anyone can do well in the GSL without having a legitimate team to play with (unless your ID is DaviT, and you cheese your way through interviews and games alike ^^)
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy
