I didn't expect anything from either of them, mainly due to unfamiliarity with the game and lack of practice time/partners. Foxer was good last season and I wasn't surprised to see him step up. | ||

SPOILER ALERT: NesT killed Boxer ... losers from non-entertaining matches dont get my vote, even if they do have an awesome legacy from a different video game. What have you done for me lately SlayerSBoxeR? | ||

He did this because Idra was bm to him and all his pals in ladder. Go figure. I voted for Nada vs Boxer because the vote has nothing to do with Nestea vs Boxer, it has to do with the best storyline, the most compelling part about the GSL2, which is the transfer of these two Broodwar greats to the grandstands of the SC2 scene. I can understand a vote for Foxer here, but honestly I think this "surprising newcomer" thing is not gonna be unique. FD did it, now Foxer did it, and it's gonna be someone else next season. | ||

That said, Foxer has AMAZING micro and great macro, but his strategies need work. I voted for NesTea because he was HORRIBLE (wat is a creep tumor?!) in GSL Season 1 and just beat BoxeR AND made it look easy. He also hasn't dropped a single match, unlike FoxeR (who almost lost to a Zerg who a-moves infestors). | ||

What have you done for me lately SlayerSBoxeR? I'm just praying to the TL gods that one of the mods gets pissed enough at this guy... fail spoiler-ing & defouling the name of the Emperor. TL has a nice spoiler button, use it. lol just because ZB killed Boxer doesn't change the fact that a near-30-year-old legend in ANOTHER game who's far passed his prime STILL made the SEMIFINALS of an international tournament for a brand new game, and that ANOTHER legend who's considered the GOAT of BW happened to meet Boxer on the way there in the quarters. How. The. Heck. Is. This. Not. Winning. When it comes to the poll, there were generally three rules: 1) When a TL'er appears (Idra Ret Tyler TLO), TL AUTOVOTE. 2) When Boxer appears, BOXER AUTOVOTE. 3) When Nada apperas, NADA AUTOVOTE. I cannot believe this madness. How in the world is Boxer & Nada not winning... it almost singlehandedly shut down the internet, for christ's sake. IMO the fact that Foxer is doing great should help Boxer-vote, because he's actually doing things that Boxer created with Boxer's ID. | ||

I'm a huge Boxer fan as far as BW is concerned, but I've never seen a Boxer game where I go "wow, that was great play" and NesTea crushed him without batting an eye. Foxer on the other hand... Well it says "biggest storyline", so it's not necessarily about the quality of the games but the sheer fact that the two played each other. Also Boxer didnt make me go wow (at least not through his play), but Nada seemed to have really really strong TvZ. And the fact that either of those two go far is big news, no matter how they get there. Not sure which one to vote for though ^^ | ||

FD did it, now Foxer did it, and it's gonna be someone else next season. Not exactly, FD was a top player before the GSL and was a favorite to win from the start. FoxeR just came out of no where and despite everyone thinking he will fail miserably, tore everyone (except kyrix) apart on his way to the finals. FD was just a good player who people expected to go high, but not exactly win. FoxeR everyone expected would fail miserably. | ||

FoxeR not just because he was a dark horse. FoxeR is just a fascinating character. First of all his name, Boxer, just makes you wonder if he can live up to the name. He begins in round of 64 with a ghost/nuke play where he almost gets knocked out for playing like a dumbass. Then he beats the GSL 1 champion 2-0! And then SangHo 2-0! And then we see the incredible marine vs baneling play in a really close 3-2 match with non-stop action. And then he knocks out the GSL1 runner up. And we learn that he is willing to change his name to FoxeR for his foreign fans. This guy's story is kind of ridiculous. Even more so than Nada v Boxer, in my opinion. | ||

Is there an uploaded video of his BM? i just wanna see his BM thats all (unless you mean BM as in leaving without gg). | ||

Look, I understand what a legend Emperor was and how BW legends collide is a good storyline and all... but still their clash left a lot to be desired. I got caught up in the hype for their match and was pretty let down by the results. so the HYPE was good, the match itself wasn't. Foxer, what a gamer! After a horrid start, he started gaining hype with his insane micro and games with FD. The HYPE around his play was great, and then he met and even exceeded expectations with games all the way to the finals. Thats what makes Foxer the best storyline of GSL2 | ||
