Q: How do you view the recent patches?
Boxer: I'm very weird, in every patch it's the units I love to use that are nerfed. Before, I liked to use tanks, and now they are nerfed. I also liked 3rax, but that strategy was nerfed. More unsettling is that not only was Terran nerfed, Zerg was buffed. I spent two hours writing a letter to David Kim (dayvie). Every time, the new patches are hard to adjust to, so I hope in the future the changes aren't cataclysmic.

I respect Boxer but this is ridiculous.

Boxer is complaining about his units being nerfed, but does he ever think that maybe he loves to use them because they're so good? (good -> overpowered -> significant advantage)

I can't believe Boxer was dismayed at Z being buffed. I almost starting to think that he actually wants a TvZ imbalance like broodwar so his career can be easier.

I thought he cared about the game but you can't blame him for wanting to prioritize his career before starcraft. He was not who I thought out to be.

Yeah, but he has a point. Not only Terran was nerfed, Zerg was also buffed. So much that right now they seem overpowered, because they can expand all over the place and don't even worry about losing units as others have to worry.

In this whole Zerg vs Terran debates, I think Protoss are overlooked. If Tester has to QQ like Fruitdealer did, he should. Because Protoss has only been getting nerfs despite never being overpowered since release. It's ridiculous that so few Protoss could make it to top 8 last GSL, and it is very likely than none will make it to top 8 this GSL. If we need a famous person to say it, I hope some legendary protoss SC:BW switches, because this is ridiculous right now.

if you finish reading this, I'll be very proud ~

Q: Your thoughts on attending Blizzcon this year?
Boxer: The tickets are very expensive, but they still sold out very fast. I envy this type of gaming culture.

Q: Boxer, what's the difference between BW and SC2?
Boxer: BW's most interesting feature is the control: the control group keys were simply not sufficient for huge armies. In SC2, aside from this, everything else is pretty interesting. On top of that, the intellect required is much higher.

Q: Did the people around you (Boxer) say disparaging words when you switched to SC2?
Boxer: They didn't say it to my face, but I feel like in their hearts they might have thought it.
