I really hope Boxer does well at DreamHack, it would be orgasmically awesome if he were able to come back to the top. Every time I watch him, I'm constantly imagining him with the plot of the Rocky movies. I mean it just fits so perfectly, was once the top, then got older and still comes back to the top over and over again.

"Furthermore, it is the first real international tournament I’m participating in, so I will make sure to present myself in a best shape."

My respect for Boxer has risen by several orders. Hopefully he (and other koreans) will continue to fly to the major LAN-environment tournaments outside Korea <3

I've never been so hyped for anything. BoxeR in Sweden. Never in a thousand years that I would have guessed that just 2 months ago :D

Boxer. My man. Sets a great example for all the people complaining about the lag.

lol he was the one that started it. he's just in the "omg the lag...should've practiced with it" camp than the "OMG THE LAG TSL SUX" camp

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.

Rofl. This is like a chuck norris joke. If hotbid is told his thread already exists he closes the other one!

I'm not sure whether boxer is insinuating that sc2 has a lower skill season or foreign players are on par skill wise...

You can't blame him. The lag is absolutely deadly

Thank you to the OP for starting this thread. I saw the other one, which has only a few posts related, and they more upon a lag discussion.

It's truly great when a pro-gamer comes forward and speaks clearly and well, politely, and without blame of imbalance, race, etc., but instead with reverence, zeal and humility. Each and every time these great interviews take place it is a step forward in the right direction of eSports making it big.

It further impresses me that he acknowledges his stage as a pro-gamer, and his acceptance of the fans in wanting good games to watch - for the entertainment. Be it from a quick and dirty Micro heavy fight where each player is looking for that sliver of an advantage, to a long drawn out reoccurring battlefield, with ever-expanding tech, spells, and back and forth positioning akin to chess. Boxer gets this - the fans watch, the fans want exciting games. We all know the reaction to a great (entertaining) play - see the fan reaction to HuK's Mothership rush at MLG(?), and from that we get the saying: "Mothership Rush - even when you lose - you win."

See this is what I love about boxer, he experiences lag, and does he bitch about it? Complain about the huge handicap it represents? QQ about the major imbalance it causes? no, he says its something he needs to adapt to and moves on. This is the type of stuff that makes me support a player.

so, that said, boxer fighting!
