Super Rookie FoxeR, 'I still have holes in my play'

FoxeRPrime, considered the 'super rookie' of this season's GSL advanced to the semi finals with a distinctive playstyle, beating KyrixZenith 3:2.

Q. How does it feel to advance to the semi finals?
A. The games were so tough, I just feel happy that I won.

Q. It looked very hard to tell who the winner was until the very end.
A. In the last set, I didn't defend well against his first rush. I thought I lost and decided to give it my best. My focus brought me back into the game and the gold expansion with tank defense gave me hope.

Q. In the first set, your marine micro was spectacular.
A. I realized after the game that I didn't upgrade combat shields. No wonder my marines died so freaking fast. I was too busy during the game.

Q. Is there a secret to your marine micro?
A. It's crucial to know where his zerglings and banelings are. I like to lure with marines in front and make a concave while spreading out with the marines in the back.

Q. KyrixZenith's aggression was overwhelming in sets 2 and 3.
A. When I practiced, there were no zergs as aggressive as him. I felt like I lost even though I knew it was coming.

Q. What did you think when you were behind 1:2?
A. I never had the experience of playing a Bo5, so I thought I was sure to lose, but the Prime coach calmed me down during the break and helped me immensely.

Q. In the 4th set, you finished the game with pure banshees.
A. He found about my 2 starport banshee build, so I thought I would lose if mutalisks were out. I had to attack, and when I killed all his queens with micro, I knew I won.

Q. You also made banshees in the 5th set.
A. I didn't really prepare for the last game. It wasn't a well prepared build so I was behind.

Q. KyrixZenith never used infestor against you.
A. If the zerg went infestors, they tended to be overwhelmed by my aggression during practice. He definitely made the right choice of not making infestors I think.

Q. The ID of FoxeR does not seem to fit you.
A. I heard that foreigner fans like Fake Boxer. I'm not completely sure of what to do, if there is a good name, please let me know.

Q. In the semi finals, you will face off with HopeTorture or NEXGenius.
A. I want to face HopeTorture. He beat my teammate CheckPrime both last season and this season, so I want to get revenge.

Q. Do you think you will do well?
A. I thought I grew as a player after today's games. I'll show a more perfected game in the semi finals.

Q. It looks like you will have a lot of fans.
A. I still have holes in my play. It would be nice if they cheered me on for my playstyle, and kept doing so.

Original interview in Korean (www.fomos.kr):
+ Show Spoiler +
이번 대회 최고의 슈퍼루키로 손꼽히고 있는 이정훈(프라임)이 스타일 뚜렷한 플레이를 펼치며 4강에 진출했다.

이정훈은 1일 소니에릭슨 스타크래프트2 오픈 시즌2 8강 1경기에서 공격적인 플레이로 한준(ZeNEX)을 3:2로 제압했다. 한준 역시 미칠듯한 공격 본능을 자랑한 가운데 이정훈과 한준은 최고의 명승부를 만들어냈다.

다음은 이정훈과의 일문일답.

- 4강에 진출한 소감이 어떤가?
▲ 너무 힘들게 경기를 하고 왔다. 지금은 기쁘다는 생각 밖에 들지 않는다.

- 끝까지 승리를 예감하지 못했을 것 같다.
▲ 마지막 세트에서 상대의 첫 러시를 효과적으로 막지 못해서 상당히 불리했다. 졌다는 생각을 하면서 최선을 다하자는 마음을 먹었다. 그 이후에 집중력이 살아났고 황금 미네랄 멀티를 먹고 공성전차로 계속 수비를 하는 과정에서 가능성이 있다고 생각했다.

- 1세트에서 해병 플레이가 인상적이었다.
▲ 경기가 끝나고 전투 방패 업그레이드가 되어 있지 않았다는 사실을 알게 됐다. 어쩐지 해병이 잘 죽더라. 경기 중간에는 너무 몰입을 하다 보니 그 사실을 느끼지 못했다.

- 해병 컨트롤의 비결이 있나?
▲ 상대의 맹독충과 저글링이 어디에 있는지를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 가장 앞에 있는 해병 소수로 유인을 하고 뒤에 있는 해병을 펼치며 진영을 짜는 것이 핵심이다.

- 한준의 공격성이 2, 3세트에서 대단했다.
▲ 연습을 하면서 한준 선수만큼 공격적인 저그가 없었다. 그래서 알면서도 무기력하게 무너진 듯한 느낌이다. 이제 그런 점들은 보완할 수 있을 것 같다.

- 1:2의 상황에서 어떤 생각을 했다.
▲ 5전 3선승제도 처음이도 경험도 없어서 '이렇게 탈락하는구나'라는 생각이 들었다. 하지만 쉬는 시간에 박외식 감독님이 '편하게 하라'고 다독여주셨다. 그것이 큰 도움이 됐다.

- 4세트에서는 밴시로만 경기를 끝냈다.
▲ 밴시를 들킨 상황이라서 뮤탈리스크가 뜨면 내가 불리해지는 상황이었다. 그래서 어쩔 수 없이 공격을 했다. 여왕을 공격하면서 이길 것으로 확신하지는 못했다. 하지만 컨트롤을 하면서 여왕을 다 잡고 이겼다는 생각을 했다.

- 5세트에서도 밴시를 생산하기는 했는데.
▲ 5세트까지는 준비를 많이 하지 못했다. 그래도 준비한 빌드를 하기는 했는데 미숙했던 관계로 상당히 불리해졌다.

- 저그가 감염충을 한 번도 사용하지 않았다.
▲ 저그가 감염충을 가게 되면 계속 몰아치는 내 공격 앞에 밀리는 경우가 있더라. 한준 선수가 잘 판단하신 것 같다.

- Foxer라는 별명도 안 어울리는 것 같다.
▲ 외국 분들이 Fake Boxer라는 별명을 좋아하신다고 들었다. 아직 어떻게 해야 할 지 잘 모르겠다. 좋은 별명이 있다면 팬들이 알려주시길 바란다.

- 4강에서는 정민수 혹은 김성제와 맞붙게 된다.
▲ 김성제 선수와 맞붙고 싶다. 지난 시즌도 그렇고 김성제 선수에게 우리 팀의 이형주 선수가 또 패배했다. 이번에 내가 꺾어서 복수를 하고 싶다.

- 4강에서도 잘 할 수 있을 것 같은가?
▲ 오늘 경기를 통해서 한 층 성장했다고 생각한다. 4강에서는 더욱 완벽한 경기력을 선보이겠다.

- 팬들도 많이 늘어날 것 같다.
▲ 나는 아직도 부족한 점이 많다. 내가 플레이하는 스타일을 좋아해주시고 응원해주신다면 힘이 많이 날 것 같다. 더 많은 응원 부탁드린다.


Long interview... decided to share with you guys
Not sure if I have the 'right' to post these on here, but let me know and I'll delete it or something, otherwise, enjoy!

PS. also thought it was interesting how he mentions infestors would lose to him. There were a lot of us posting in LR that infestors would've done the trick, but guess not? haha

Q. The ID of FoxeR does not seem to fit you.
A. I heard that foreigner fans like Fake Boxer. I'm not completely sure of what to do, if there is a good name, please let me know.

No, keep it that way :D

Thanks for the translation! I actually agree with his comment on zerg making a good idea not to go Infestor as that would be less banelings and having to wait for that 25 energy for fungel growth pretty sure he would have died earlier.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Oh my god. Amazing. I can't believe it. WOW.

In BW pros would NEVER mention foreign fans and take their thoughts into consideration.

Very very happy about this.

Thanks for the post! <3 FoxeR

I think that he will become even better in the near future. It seems as though he is satisfied playing for Prime too.. which means he has a damn good set of practice partners (=.

I think Foxer is a bad ID, I wish he would come up with his own unique name, rather then hide in boxers shadow.

Awww, though I dislike him for taking out an awesome zerg, I'll forgive him, since he seems quite awesome ^^. Cool interview, and interesting point about the infestors.

great translation, thanks

you'd think being on the same clan as July he'd get practice against super aggressive zerg, but no, Kyrix is the most aggressive SC2 zerg ever

The Emperor said that given his play he deserved the name Boxer.

Foxer works I guess :p.

He seems absolutely great. I usually dislike Terran play but his is a pleasure to watch.

Edit:
I think Kyrix will also progress a lot too. The games were close, I'm expecting Kyrix to be a name we hear again.

Fauxer is much better. I hope he picks that! Having any group of fans, korean or foreign, would help boost a player's appeal.

Mindblowing series, he'd make a worthy champion in my books. I actually wont be upset if he took this GSL instead of Boxer/Nada.
I think.

He seems like such a cool guy, definitely a fan.

Also, hes in Prime? In that case, screw FoxeR, he needs to be called Optimus.

What, why would they say FoxeR doesn't suit him?!?!? I guess a Fox is more wily and he's more aggressive, but it's all about Fake Boxer so whatever.

thanks for the translation! He is the surprise revelation that GSL needs. gsl1 won by a zerg that surprised everyone (when zerg seemed to less unwinnable with). Now its happening with a terran (when it seems many terrans are losing to zergs). Foxer fits the role Fruitdealer had in season 1.

Might we have a TvZ finals ?

also just realised he's in prime now. very interesting.

Btw what's his playing/gaming background?

I don't get the appeal of "Fauxer". It's just like calling Fox News "Faux news" - sure you get a point across, but if you actually say or think it, it sounds retarded.

Fauxer is a terrible pun. I can't read Fauxer without a chill going down my spine.

Foxer is better and still keeps his tribute to Boxer.

I think Foxer should decide for himself what name he wants. But if he does choose to stay with Foxer, he'll have a lot of foreign fans.

I feel like "Foxer" deserves his own identity. He doesn't have to be associated with the Emperor himself and stays in the shadow.

Really nice article, glad we could see it, i dont like hyping players too much, because of all jinksing Artosis done doing so but i'll sure hope we will see more from Foxer in upcoming events, and considering he got himself a nice S code, there is high chance for that

Both him and Kyrix deserved fans for that BO5, and especialy for last game.They opened and closed match, with really epic games, that's what crowd wants, action packed fun games, with uknown winner untill very end.

I would vote for Foxer, FoxerPrime would be fine. Also I think his style is cunning, which made Fox(er) fit him. Or he can use his old BW ID, ClarePrime is also fine :p

His first game against Kyrix is definitely one of the best SC2 game I've ever seen so far. His marines micro is so sureal, I never thought anybody could pull something like that in reality. It really reminds me of SlayerSBoxer marine vs lurker godly micro. So yeah, Foxer is really suit him. Or even if he kept Boxer as his real name, I as a SlayerSBoxer fan, wouldn't mind. Since in my point of view, he really walk in the SlayerSBoxer path, playing aggressive micro intensive game and "against all odds" style. Marines vs link/baneling is considered a worst choice by most people, but he out of all normalcy did it. When SlayerSBoxer started his stardom, he also did this kind of thing and tend to do things that against all odds which made him unique.

I'm becoming fan of this FoxerPrime already :p Especially when I realized that he's actually Clare of BW.

FoxerPrime HWAITING!!!!

ps: and I was like WTF and then super LOL when he said that he actually forgot to upgrade combat shield until he won that game. Insane :p

In the last match if the crazy zerg player had taken a 60 second break from throwing banelings and roaches at his seiged tanks and marines he could have teched to infestors. Even 1 fungal growth on foxers marines would have negated his amazing micro and turned the game when most of the marines get caught.

Oh man. After he took out fruitdealer I wanted this guy to go down hard. Then these games came up, and he just won me over with extreme micro and elegant macro. If he refines his play this guy is easily the next super star. Here come the koreans holy crap, I doubt any american player can execute that strategy just yet aside from maybe select.

Q. The ID of FoxeR does not seem to fit you.
A. I heard that foreigner fans like Fake Boxer. I'm not completely sure of what to do, if there is a good name, please let me know.


Wait wait wait, help me out here.

Is he already using the ID "Foxer"? Shouldn't the question be "The ID of Boxer does not seem to fit you"?

this is the original text.
- Foxer라는 별명도 안 어울리는 것 같다.
▲ 외국 분들이 Fake Boxer라는 별명을 좋아하신다고 들었다. 아직 어떻게 해야 할 지 잘 모르겠다. 좋은 별명이 있다면 팬들이 알려주시길 바란다.

so i guess literally, it asks, 'Foxer doesn't seem to fit you EITHER' so I guess they meant both Boxer (his current ID) and Foxer (suggested ID) don't fit him

His marine micro in game 1 completely made me a fan.

That was definitely one of the pimpest plays I have seen in SC2 thus far.

And his lol-i-forgot-to-upgrade-shield makes me like him even more, kinda like Stork.

Q. Is there a secret to your marine micro?
A. It's crucial to know where his zerglings and banelings are. I like to lure with marines in front and make a concave while spreading out with the marines in the back.


ROFL, he says it here like its so easy
easier said than done mr Foxer!

this guy is a SC2 god, i wanna see an FPVOD of him doing this

Great fucking interview though, i love this guy

Give him a proper name! The kid doesn't want to be called Fake for years or be a second of something. He probably just got that Boxer nickname because he is a fan, but probably didn't know he has to use it for a tournament.

Call him Aurum. Or something :D Mercury seems OK, but kinda long. But Aurum, like golden!

FoXPrime sounds good to me. I think Kyrix's style is best suited to combating FoXPrime's. Any quick expanding Zerg who drones hard will get pwned hard by the early marine pressure. I really want to see a rematch at some point. It was just awesome to watch.

It's kinda sad to keep seeing the word fake associated with this guy and him having to answer questions whether he wants to be named after being a fake.

It also looked like he teared up after Game 5.

I really like his play.

Unlike most people I don`t think he should be called Foxer. He is good enough and should establish his own name instead of being tied to being a fake boxer. It is nice he is taking foreigner fans suggestions though. Wish we had something better and more creative for him.

I agree with just "Fox", it's a subtle homage with an interesting backstory. People would talk about him a year from now and discuss where the name came from, making GSL Season 2 even more unforgettable.

Big thank you for the inreview Canucks.


Q. What did you think when you were behind 1:2?
A. I never had the experience of playing a Bo5, so I thought I was sure to lose, but the Prime coach calmed me down during the break and helped me immensely.


Good to hear that he is getting nice support from Prime, hope he stays with them they could use some more great names.

Disagree. If Foxer saw the infestor (which he would) I guarantee it he would split his marines before he got near the infestor at all like Nada did the fungel would barely get any marines at all.

But who knows might have helped in g5 he was in a very significant lead so he probably could have but in game 1 he couldn't have.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Has he been part of Prime for a while, or did he just get recruited when they realized he was really good?

Foxer/FoxPrime both are good...I don't know if "fox" has the same connotation in Korean as in English (of being sly or clever, both of which are completely appropriate for him.)

It has a lot of connotations in Northeast Asia. In Korea specifically the main story is this. But there are a lot of Chinese stories that people might know about.

It does fit for meaning, but sounds dumb because anyone who's actually educated knows that faux is pronounced "foe". FoXprime is a pretty good name though, I'd go with that.

I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

DrukenBoxer!!!

he is not like an emporer- hes da freakin pro that spens most time having fun instead of having overdone parties.

he is indeed a boxer:
look at his marines spreading around.
hes a drunken boxer. style changes while watching - you cant learn to anticipate his next move.

You hated him? Really? In what way did he wrong you? He played a mediocre set and you started to hate him?

Jesus Christ man. Whats wrong with you?

Btw - he is a great player and I'm really hoping he wins the entire tourney. With his games including the round of 64 he has created a fan boy right here. And if he wants a nick name suggestion i suggest this:


BoxerMan. Sounds fucking awesome. Should be a character in Megaman for that matter.

i think he doesnt mean hate...
it was maybe just suspicous to have someone named boxer, when the name was already referring to someone.

so he proofed himself to at least be in debateable position to call himself boxer.

a final between s-boxer and f-boxer will of cause clear the issue for ever

FoxeRPrime would be one of the better tags imo, Not to mention the boost he would get from foreigner players/fans appreciating him.

A. I heard that foreigner fans like Fake Boxer. I'm not completely sure of what to do, if there is a good name, please let me know.


Wait wait wait, help me out here.

Is he already using the ID "Foxer"? Shouldn't the question be "The ID of Boxer does not seem to fit you"?


this is the original text.
- Foxer라는 별명도 안 어울리는 것 같다.
▲ 외국 분들이 Fake Boxer라는 별명을 좋아하신다고 들었다. 아직 어떻게 해야 할 지 잘 모르겠다. 좋은 별명이 있다면 팬들이 알려주시길 바란다.

so i guess literally, it asks, 'Foxer doesn't seem to fit you EITHER' so I guess they meant both Boxer (his current ID) and Foxer (suggested ID) don't fit him


Oh, thanks! Guess the Korean scene already caught wind of our attempt to rename a progamer.

That photoshop was epic win, btw.

Note: Please look up the correct pronunciation of "Faux."

I like FoxeR just fine, although just simply "Fox" would do too. Nice, short, and easily appended with a clan tag.

I like Foxer. He had some very Foxy play.

Perhaps StarFox or StarFoxer to allude to the history of other sci fi video games

FoxeR is perfect just as it is. It is a nice homeage and shouldn't give the idea that he stands "in the shadow of boxer". Please, any sc player would be honored to be part of the legends' saga.

I don't like this "Fox" thing at all - please stop encouraging it!

EllenPage. What an amazing guy. I guess he's a royal roader then, but the funny thing is that FruitDealer was too... I like that he cares for the foreign scene as well though.

I hope Foxer changes his name for the semi-finals! As a zerg player, I hate this guy for taking out Kyrix and FruitDealer, but as a SC2 player, I find his micro style extremely impressive. In a way, I'm worried about if NesTea bops SlayerS BoxeR off the brackets, because this guy's ZvT seems pretty solid.

Edit: That is if Foxer beats ITR...

FoxeR is awesome. His marines are out of control amazing. I'd like to try to play his style a bit, although I'm not sure if I have the micro.

As for his name, FoxeR is HILARIOUS. Quite frankly, I'd be happy if he stayed as BoxeR though.

There's something that just feels "right" about the whole thing. Like a legacy of BoxeRs. Very cool.

KudoZ CanucksJC, great job man.

The boy is a great player with a relentless style.
Don't think he will pick FoxeR, but honestly who cares. Nevertheless, the name should fit his preferences, not ours. Of course he said he would pick it, but dont get angry on an overhelmed 17 years old boy, if he doesnt finaly. Though I like the FoxeR-ID, and FoxeRPrime sounds cool

I think Foxer/Fauxer works alright as an aka, but he has done enough so far to really go beyond that (especially if he ends up facing the real Boxer and ends up beating him in the finals). Hope he manages to find an interesting name in the end.

FoXPrime is pretty cool sounding. Plus I can picture/hear the announcers saying "Fox doing a great job of..." during a match rather than "Foxer" which sounds a little awkward to me.

This is offtopic... Are we seriously calling him Foxer?

Fauxer is better.

Foxer is a name for furies.

Fauxer implies European suaveness, and is pronounced the same way by anglophones.

Foxer-> Perverts
Fauxer-> Europeans

Which is better?


Faux is French for FAKE and FALSE
It is pronounced f-oh in French.

Fauxer would be pronounced f-oh-kser in french.

In english, we read Fauxer as f-ah-kser

It's the same, but cooler.

Seriously I'm going to jump off a bridge if as a people, as a community, we chose Foxer over Fauxer.

Really.

Fauxer>Foxer

Why fauxer? It looks french, it doesn't relate to boxer and it isn't pronounced the same way.. Might as well call him something else if you're not gonna be clever about it

Omfg guys. Really.

Foxes are animals. His name has nothing to do with boxer anymore.

Faux is fake in another language. It is exactly what it has to do.

By replacing the first letter, you're implying you're making an acronym. FB is more correct.

Fauxer. Common guys.

I actually like that tbh. Calling him "fake boxer" is hilarious and all, but he's an amazing player, and obviously too good to be overshadowed by real boxer.

Mercury is a great name, too bad we can't suggest it to him :/.

ps: Fauxer is obviously superior to Foxer. "Faux" means "fake", and "fauxer" is pronounced the same as "foxer". Thus, it's "Fake boxer".

No way, he chose BoxeR in the first place as a tribute to his Korean eSports hero. It's an honor actually IMO. Perhaps the new bonjwa?

Please don't spread misinformation. "Faux" has never been pronounced the same as "fox" -- except possibly by the uneducated or the uninformed. It is pronounced "foe"; simply Google up "faux pronunciation".

"Foxer" is simply a portmanteau of "fake" and "Boxer." While "Fauxer" makes sense from a definition standpoint, it is awkward to pronounce from a broadcast perspective (imagine hearing "foe-er" over and over) and has little synergy with how "Boxer" is pronounced.

Yeah, it still wouldn't work. But I still like Fauxer better, even if we have to pronounce it wrong.
