If he can do it, GomTV (who gets paid for it) should be able to pull it off..... EDIT: Nevermind. Just read that the number of users that brought down gomTV was much... much higher... You newschools have not yet truly understood the power of Boxer.  | ||

I was watching MLG here and from when Huk started his mothership against select till it finished there were probably over a post per second. I can't believe what boxer made happen can get anywhere near that rate. Plus Day[9] occasionally has that many viewers and his stream doesn't crash. Troll or just americ.. stupid? the streams outside of korea got a 13k increase when gom went down. one post per second? what are you talking about? like every chat room on day9s channel have like 5 post / second if something moderately exciting is going on. | ||

I'm pretty sure they have favoured boxer and will favour any sc legend by giving them easier brackets. 770k are an obvious reason. Now just look at happiness (boxer's opponent for today), a good player for sure, but for GSL standards, he was below average. It's not a coincidence i think... I don't think it will go so far as to pay off people to lose. This is esports, spectators aren't stupid and something like that will get noticed immediatly. I also don't think Boxer himself would tolerate such a thing. He may have an easier bracket to get to the ro16 or even ro8, but aftert that there's not much more they can do, he will have to play and win vs top level players at that point. How I envy your starcraft youth. No offense, just what you stated doesn't seem right to me. | ||

Paranoid/Conspiracy suspicions coming from an account named Hidden_MotiveS. How Cliché. For the youth here, are you referring to the SaviOr Hoax / Gambling Ring? While it didn't get noticed immediately, it did get noticed. I doubt BoXer would gamble his reputation on that. His reputation, after all, is worth a lot as this viewer counter is demonstrating. | ||

They pay people to lose to him. Not everyone involved with this illegal gambling has to throw games or even know that they are fighting an opponent who is going to lose. The Savior scandal has shaken my faith in the SC proscene. It took years to catch savior, and many pros probably will never get caught. | ||

Since Loner is from China that match could attract a million+ This is true - though SC2 isn't super popular here yet since there are no mainland servers, Chinese are avid game fans and especially pay attention to things when they win. Boxer coming to SC2 will do great things for increasing the popularity of game all over the world, though GOM had some failures, I'm glad they were due to too much interest rather than too little. | ||

Do you know that MSL makes their brackets so that less upsets will occur? | ||
