This is the best article I've ever read about E-sport so far, great credits to the author. As for the Emperor, we can only wait for those brilliant moments that he brings, although we don't know if it will happen, it is still worth it just kowing that it could. All hail the Emperor!!!

It's about time.

"Hell, It's about time"

in the end StarCraft begins.

He almost made it out of the qualifiers. He lost at the finals against some noob and didn't make it out. But he still beat like 2 other players to get there in the first place. I don't know how the games went, but being able to take on 2 other progamers and win shows that he's not done yet. He's basically teaching starcraft all over again to Fantasy these days, I think.

correction: it's about the time he came back.

i realized after reading the prior posts that it might have been taken out of context.

i read the long, long article, and posted a quick comment.

i don't know whether BoxER is a nice guy, i don't expect the top of any field is really that nice at all times, however he does raise the bar for the idea of starcraft as a lifestyle, and his skills of entertaining on the battlefield are bar none legendary.

i don't feel that BoXER is going to take starcraft into mainstream in the US. His limited english is a big obstacle and I don't see that as a priority for him. He wants to play starcraft - not represent any community. that is his one of the drawbacks that I see about his persona.

the US is going to need a player with BoXER level talent and the quality of character that can be accepted as world class in the US. there are obstacles for foreigners in the US, and combine that with a foreign type of entertainment, that person must be socially acceptable by the media press ESPECIALLY.

it's a difficult issue - in the US there have been many so-called game champions, only to have them either fade into specialty audiences or simply ignored by the mainstream media.

it's not just a matter of having talent and being entertaining. the media, and the general public, have an expectation of a spokesperson, and it is not a comfortable role. BoxER doesn't particularly hide that fact, which in the US may or may not be accepted.

if the US likes him, he's humble and he's perhaps even charming. if the US doesn't like him, which seemed to be the case the last ten years, he's a foreigner with an uncomfortable silence and on top of that he looks a little unfriendly and dislikable in photos and live events.

A huge resurgence in dreams of space exploration would help with this opportunity as well. if people are thinking about space, games about space become huge.

computer sales indicate a slowdown in most major markets this year. this indicates, to me, that the market is saturated with computers, that there are computers in just about every home and office.

so this indicates the major cost of playing starcraft is already paid for.

step one: just install and play.

step two: get us a US champion.

step three: worldwide acceptance.

so in summary:

BoXER is back. BoXER needs opponents. US needs a champion.

it's about time he came back.






in the end StarCraft begins.
