GosuGamers has a nice interview with SlayerS_BoxeR about the DreamHack Invite, his thoughts on TSL3 upsets, and the Korean/International scene coming together.
This will be your first time in Sweden and Europe. What are your expectations of the country?
- It is actually my first time in Europe, so I’m definitely looking forward it. Sweden always used to be a country I wanted to visit because of its great landscape. Furthermore, it is the first real international tournament I’m participating in, so I will make sure to present myself in a best shape.
...
What are your reactions on the recent downfall of Koreans in the TSL? Players as NesTea, MVP and FruitDealer lost. Aside from the lag, do you see any other reasons why Koreans wouldn't be able to overcome their foreigner opponents?
In Starcraft 1, Koreans are a dominating force, so even without a proper strategy, it is possible for most of the gamers to keep up with the international players. But in Starcraft 2, the gap between Korean gamers and international gamers is literally zero. The minute you lose track of your game may result in a loss, and it has become very difficult to bounce back.

Of course I saw that thread, it's not an acceptable OP and focuses only on the lag discussion, I don't think that's fair to GG or Boxer at all (even though what he said is nice from a TSL perspective). Thread is also closed.
|
Awesome interview. 
|
Always giving us love Hot_Bid <3
|
Can't wait to see how well he performs
|
Great interview. Hopefully boxer plays well at Dreamhack.

Can't blame him for trying.
But the article is secretly hilarious. If you look, the excerpts on the right are basically them paraphrasing the hell out of his answer into something more interesting. And they do this for every answer.
Also wasn't prepared for the large amount of sexiness in that article. Boxer is roughly 60(?)kgs of twisted steel and sex appeal.
|
Awesome interviews Their site makes me appreciate TL news a lot more instead of squeezing the article together with pictures so you are almost reading straight down word for word.
|
I love how Hot_Bid finds an acceptable OP, so he closes it and creates one himself.
The interview is great. I'm assuming it was done in English? BoxeR is always so articulate. That man knows exactly what to say.
|
Huk is tight with Boxer? Wicked. Go Canada 
It's cool that they list ALL of Boxer's past achievements at the end too.
|
Yes, in the beginning it felt like running with a sandbag. However, once you get used to it, it doesn’t really affect your game.
bam.
didn't even know he was going to dreamhack, double awesome!
|
Thanks Hot_Bid! After closing the old one I was actually thinking of making a new one myself, but I wanted to eat first 
Edit:
I had a good laugh out of this tho xD

"As for the international gamers in Korea, Jinro is an amazing gamer and I think, he has what it takes to stay on top for a long time. "
Boxer gonna try to recruit Jinro?
Was a good read. I'm kind of hoping that one day the international scene will get big enough to the point where Koreans are moving abroad.
|
but nonetheless, it is something we, Koreans, need to work on. I mean, all we can do is prepare ourselves accordingly, and try to play our best game.
Boxer. My man. Sets a great example for all the people complaining about the lag.
|
now THIS makes me regret that i didnt buy tickets....
|
Always nice to read what Boxer has to say. I hope he does well at DreamHack.
|
This man is such an incredible baller. I really like how he does not makes excuses for the losing, it is just more like that if you don't play well, the Koreans are not going to win. Best of luck at DreamHack and everything else!
|
I'm glad Boxer is going to be at Dreamhack, it really gives tournys more exposure when Legends like him are playing(not that Dreamhack wasn't already huge).
He really is the Face of E-Sports for us and he's always done a good job at promoting it, and taking a look at global perspectives for the industry!
