Maybe this is an entirely different game than the one he was greatest and smartest at? Maybe he is getting older now and his reflexes and mechanics aren't as good as they were? Maybe he doesn't practice as hard because of his age and other commitments? | ||

What a minor mistake, he definitely lost because he was Zerg. God it's so boring getting to see these comments in EVERY SINGLE LR thread that has a Zerg playing. Just because you're zerg, doesn't mean you can't be outplayed. Not every single thing comes down to game balance. Dunc - Sarcasm. Sarcasm - Dunc. I don't believe you've met. Ever. But, yeaaaaaaaa thanks for the advice. You've really opened up my eyes toward the game and exposed a new truth I never knew existed. *this is for Dunc* - heyy that was "sarcasm". Just-so-you-don't-get-confused. bro! | ||

Hope he can fix some of the holes in his game and come back because he is truly one of the greatest players to watch It doesn't even matter. Simply having another CC = more MULEs which pays for itself very quickly and if it's a planetary, it can't even really be counterattacked that well. | ||

Ah yeah, so easy to expect sarcasm on a forum where people actually make that sort of comment at least once a page. You got me. | ||

MKP's games sometimes resemble shoving square blocks into a round hole - only that his marine splits make it slightly likelier. WTF? MKP is regarded as having one of the best decision making skills in SC2. He came back and beat Nada and Jinro in base trades, and took a hidden gold against Jinro. Dude is a total baller. | ||

Sounds more like backpedaling rather than sarcasm. | ||

It is super cruel. But I don't know if Boxer is currently in the top 32. I would say he is, because I dont find him less than L and Lyn is top 4. But I don't know. I have faith he will make r8 in Code A though, but there are SO MANY good players in code A next season. | ||

Generally great decision-making, great mindgames, great micro, but occasionally way too aggressive (losing 4 siege tanks for nothing) and not the best macro. I think the lopsidedness of his abilities is what contributes to him always showing really long, nail-biting, scrappy games. Ah well. /sad This is Boxer. He gets more aggressive the more he falls behind. Putting a lot of his focus on to attacking and disregards economy. He beats players by pushing them out of their comfort zone from minute one. What you see here is basically the same what happened over time in Broodwar. Macro players learned to overcome the stress and still keep expanding, expanding, expanding. What Boxer is banking on is that you loose your stuff and then go on tilt. You might hate on Zenio but loosing like 5 hatcheries, knowing that Boxer does not stop ever to the last second is like you said nail-biting. | ||
