Damn really liked fruitdealers build in his series vs virus ^_^. And the boxer vs zenio jesus all good games love it :D

Boxer always plays entertaining games, I would rather see him lose in code S with amazing games then see Zenio win.

Actually I thought the same before the games started, but after seeing his style, he reminds me of JulyZerg. In the Xelnaga-game he saw he had a chance to do a baneling-attack acted upon it, and immediately recognized he had done damage and that it was time to drone up.

FD really made my morning. I was actually able to get some work done today! Thank you fruitdealer. And in his honour i had fruit for lunch

I wasn't even following the scene back when Boxer was dominating, but I still feel it. Whenever he's in a game, it's somehow different from any other game. I can't imagine how it felt for people to watch Boxer back in his days of glory.
But I can always hope he comes back. I kept the faith alive when all he was doing was losing to offline qualifiers, Code A is a joke. Slayers_Boxer forever!

Boxer in code A. The Emperor in Code A.
I really can't believe it happened. This is nuts.

all you haters of huk need to calm down. he is passionate about the game and has worked hard. making it into code s by beating choyafou is not a small feat.

On the other hand, I have only one thing to say to all the naysayers: JulyZerg. It's kinda like when Michael Jordan returned to play NBA on the Wizards. Sure every one was super excited to have him back and in all honesty, he was one of the better players in the league even at his age and lack of practice, but it just wasn't MJ really returning to the sport. Even though he did incredibly well and any other person would be happy with the amount of success and skill he had for his return career, because of who he was, it was a let down for fans. In other words, were he anyone else, this would be considered great success, but unfortunately, he is Boxer, so being anything other than the best, even if it is unrealistic, is really the only thing that will satisfy people. And if people aren't satisfied, bad things happen. You can't compare boxer to MJ. Boxer's skill was never great, he is nothing close to be the greatest of all time. On the other hand, MJ is GOAT. If you want to compare, maybe Flash to MJ is a better comparison. Lol. Disrespectful punk or epic flamebaiter... either ways youre good at both! GG. I'm not being disrespectful. I followed the BW scene several years already. I never believed boxer's skill is better than other Bonjwa,such as nada, iloveoov, savior, flash, jaedong. I also believe that boxer's skill is not even better than Yellow's. So I said he is not GOAT, that's not disrespectful. Only one person can be GOAT, today the GOAT in BW is flash for sure. Maybe if you watched closer youd know that Jaedong(and Flash for all practical purposes inspite of wat Liquipedia says) are not Bonjwas.... You have ob not followed BW much if you have no love for BoxeR as is patently obvious here. Flash not a bonjwa? You trolling? You know why July wasnt a Bonjwa? Same reason as why Jaedong aint no Bonjwa. There was a player that could rival them. Flash is going trough the same thing. There are players that can rival him. When NaDa was on top of the game, no one could even hope to touch him. Same for SaViOr or IloVeOov. Also,Flash barely invented anything unlike Oov and SaviOr. NaDa came with the Patrol trick for the Vulture. He has the best SKt Terran of all time. Flash`s dominance in due to his skill but also to the switch to mech from most terrans. Bonjwa is not an opinion, its a title backed by facts.
Korean media named Jaedong as Bonjwa in 2009, so he is. I think that's kind of official compared to teamliquid.

They got em.

Boxer and Zenio were both so sloppy.
Zenio's mutalisk control wasn't ideal. Not to mention Zenio was do damn indecisive. So many times he would, run units in just to pull them out. Most the time with Zerg a bad / decisive decision, is better than a Good / indecisive one.
Given that i was rooting for Zenio, that game 3 was so hard to watch.

it's sad to see how Boxer's once-upon-a-time best MU is now his worst... hope he'll at least prepare to do better in TSL

different game, different MU
his tvt is his best MU at the moment because its the most "balanced" im not going to start a balance discussion but obviously a tvt is more balanced than a tvz any way you want to look at it

Not a thread about balance, sorry.
I think it's pretty obvious, based on these end results, that everyone still loves Fruitdealer. His games weren't THAT impressive (well, unless you like Fruit winning); it was just a Virus roflstomp. I mean, come on, breaking tank marine with pure ling/bling? Hilariously awesome to watch, but nothing you would miss from watching any other high level Zerg stomp on a Terran.
Either way, good to see Fruitdealer still in Code S. He's still got it :D

In any case, <3 Fruitdealer and...as for Boxer . Hopefully he'll be able to win code A now?

I think Boxer's greatest weakness right now is his lack of practice. I've been following his ladder account and on average he plays 15 games a day. He may have a smurf id I don't know about, but that's pretty pitiful. From what I can tell he's not customing much either.
I don't blame BoxeR for his lack of practice however.. It just reinforces why an E-sport like starcraft isn't suitable for the older generation of players.
As you get older you get so many more potential constraints on your time, socially as well as financially. Of course, as you get good and actually make money a variety of leisure activities become possible that compete for this time as well. At some point the older player has to make the decision, whether or not they are going to devote their lives to the game. That's a commitment very few, even the greatest, are willing to make.
