alright looks like Sc 2 isn't going to down die after all, thank you God for bring Boxer to esports.. he will bring more up and coming revolutionaries in our beloved game! ^^
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

THIS IS SICK!

I may be dreaming, but if they get a roster like...

BoxeR, Nada, ITR, FoxeR, and a few other people...

SO SICK!

Korean professional sports is kind of sad because the associations only support the ones that are popular.

Figure skating has been all but plainly ignored until Kim Yuna showed up. The skating association of Korea never did anything to help Kim Yuna to get to where she is.



And they had the balls to take cuts from her prize money.

;p

Just wanted to comment on this quote. I fully agree about this and how Korea is with sports and anything that's professional. They will typical ignore it until someone famous or worthwhile shows up to be famous and then the association, corporation or Korea in general will then push it to make it even more famous and call it a Korean pride jewel.

That's what happened with figure skating recently in Korea, soccer back in 2002 World Cup (soccer wasn't well known in Korea before then until Korea got 4th place and now it's like the most popular sport), baseball (World Baseball Classic and Olympics), and now Starcraft 2.....

I guess in a way, it's good now that BoxeR was able to bring SC2 to a big media attention since now it's only going to go uphill for SC2...



It's interesting because when he started it was a 100% team mentality for Boxer. Back when SC1 started he refused to take individual sponsorships, insisting that the whole team be taken care of. Several players were like this and allowed the sport to grow rather than thrive on the success of one or two players.

It's interesting that Boxer's willing to take an individual sponsorship in this scenario; he could just as easily form a team and do exactly the same thing and make Korea absolutely dominate SC2 like they did SC1. Once they have players go pro and are able to game full time they're just going to dominate the scene.


And we see how that turned out. He ended up being under the umbrella of an organization (KeSPA) that controlled his every move (gaming-wise). It sounds like this way he gets to have his cake and eat it too. He's obviously going to create a team. He wouldn't be able to be competitive in the long run if he didn't have a solid group of practice partners surrounding him.


Boxer would not be the man he is today if he chose differently. None of the players would be who they are today if Boxer chose differently.

Hey anyone thank Boxer for his support? In the quote you can see that he basically said, "eff you KespA, I'm going to keep playing SC2 AND I also want to keep my progame license! I'm going to support SC2 kthxbai your progame license doesn't even mean much since I play sc2"

Hurray for Boxer!

And hurray for sponsorship! Hopefully he can use that money to further eSports, like make a team or something.

And thanks for the article too

This is amazing. I can't believe that anyone here is surprised though, the man's games crashed the fucking GOMsite. If that doesn't scream "I am the most valuable man in eSports sign me now" I don't know what does.

lmao

I'm sure his sponsor will reveal themselves eventually, otherwise... what's the point of sponsoring ;]? Unless it's a private first-party who just loves BoxeR and has the wealth to sponsor him out of his own pocket.

Yeah It would be really awesome if BoxeR joined TSL that team is already incredibly strong and I want to see it become dominant.
