 the article kinda makes me depressed though. It's basically how Boxer (aka GOD OF STARCRAFT) founded a team that became the best and then they became one of the richest teams in the league and just bought good players when boxer left and still failed and then boxer came back and they became great again. It's very hard to sympathize with a team that's pretty much always had it all (not that it clearly wasn't tough for them before they became SKT T1, but many other teams had it just as hard if not moreso). fantasy is almost doomed to never be a true hero of Starcraft. He wasn't Jaedong who came from a last place team and helped bring them to the top, or flash who became the one shining hope of his team after many of the past greats (Ra/Yellow/Reach) couldn't cut it any more. Instead he came from a team that purchased arguably the best coach in the league and the greatest protoss player of all time and then also came to fruition with teammate Best to help carry the team to 1st, and even then couldn't manage to do it thoroughly until Boxer came back. I would really love to see a team that has never won a Proleague before win next season, like estro or STX. Although I guess technically STX has won the STX cup (although the format is kinda rigged). So go eSTRO for SPL 09-10 champions! | ||

So go eSTRO for SPL 09-10 champions! this is how I feel. Though I like Boxer, I like oov, and I always watch fantasy's games with interest (hoping to see some boxer-esque moment), this proleague grand finals, looked at another way, still feels like a tragedy. OZ (that is, IS) got robbed of a title, because Boxer listened to his father and decided to leave his team so many years ago. SKT poached a lot of its players, they didnt grow them at home. if Boxer had stayed, and not taken intotherainbow (who I also like) away with him, OZ wouldn't be so poor, and history of the team leagues would be totally different. I can't feel "happy" for T1 crushing a poorer team they stole players from. Jaedong + friends got all the way to the finals without Boxer & co's help only to get smashed by a team with better resources (coaches, sponsor, players)... imagine if Boxer had been loyal like Jaedong has been? this is all silly of course; it's just entertainment. but it's half-serious... real life has a storyline as well p.s. good job and well-written, riptide | ||

"The light that burns twice as bright burns for half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy. Look at you, you're the prodigal son; you're quite a prize." No one else accomplished so much in as short of timespan as did Oov. Though unlikely, I'd like to see him play again. | ||

Why should boxer be loyal to a team when it dark reality, teams back then meant almost nothing other then just practice partners. The PL wasn't really a set in stone thing. Needless to say Boxer didn't 'poach' anyone, they left on their own accord (so you should attack intotherainbow's loyalty too then?) Questioning boxer's loyalty when he has stayed with the team HE made for well past retirement years for pro-gamers is not only illogically, it is borderline insulting. | ||
