He actually played really well, I think he can get pretty far in this tournament.

SangHo seems like a dark horse that can take the entire thing.

Watching Boxer vs. Happiness was pretty epic. He played surprisingly well. I think he's still got it!

I don't expect him to win at all, but just playing and doing well is all the publicity you need.

Well i imagine whole korea, including blizzard have huge hopes in that man. I mean literally, he made broodwar great. No wonder he attracted the most people in any match of starcraft 2. Cause let's face it - when ever you watch his games, you expect something exiting, something great. And he all ways seems to pay that check. To be honest, if happynes was to win any game of it, he would be eaten alive right when he would step off that bunker.

And yes. I hope Boxer will make this game better, cause right now, i'm about to watch that replay over 100 times, just to see how good he really is.

Only seen the first game of Boxer vs Happiness but he played really well tbh, did a few cute Boxer-ish tricks, im such a fanboy however, just the thought of seeing Boxer in action again makes my knees all weak. Hope he goes far, i dont expect him to win but, but further he goes the better for the game.

How rude of him to just barge into the SC2 scene and crash servers.

This is definitely good news for the SC2 scene though. As Artosis said, the further he makes it in GSL the bigger deal competitive SC2 will become.

Long live the Emperor of Starcraft.

NaDa doesn't have as much pull as BoxeR, but I'm sure the results will be similar if Gretech doesn't man up soon.

I for one missed all the games. I refuse to give them my email. -_-

I don't know, I feel that Artosis and Tasteless were going a little bit too crazy over Boxer. He's an amazing player from SC1 and he seems to be catching on to SC2 extremely fast, but I don't expect him to get past Ro16 of anything like that. It's still great to see a SC1 like him playing SC2 though!

Tasteless and Artosis were talking about how huge of an impact having BoxeR in SC2 would be throughout his whole match. They kept joking that if he actually lost it would hurt eSports in Korea because so many people would follow it if BoxeR was in it lol.

Holy crap. 780k people on the stream? That is so awesome. I think a lot of sponsors are going to like those kind of numbers. SC2 made a good impression I guess, even though the stream crashed.

Now imagine what would happen if BoxeR Vs NaDa actually happens. That's crazy.

Boxer was the guy who took the shit race (Terran) back then and showed everyone they could win. Along with his good looks and unconventional play, he drew in people to e-sports by the thousands. I still remember the commentators agast in amazement when they saw Boxer's vulture and dropship play.

Alas, Boxer's weakness was concentrating too much on micro to the detriment of macro and soon players like Nada who could do both took over the scene.

In a way, SC2 may be more suited to Boxer due to its easier mechanics. Who knows how far he can go.
