a lot of players have said that the qualifiers are harder than getting into code S...
To get into code A you essentially have to beat 5 players in a row with most of them being pro gamers on teams to begin with. It's obvious there's lots of undiscovered talent running around, and many of the names at the top of the korean ladder haven't even debuted in GSL yet. This isn't some MLG qualifier where you have amateur diamond players running around, just about all of them are gonna be GM in korea and the best from korea because it's the single most important tournament to them. They aren't the toughest opponents in the world, but you may end up running into one like DRG if you're unlucky. The sheer fact that you have to run through 5 opponents in one sitting is also enough.

If BoxeR goes to MLG, dear lord I am selling everything to get to that event. Whether it's Anaheim, Dallas or whatever the last one was (Providence?), I am going.

if you're talking about prime boxer, that was about 10 years ago and sc2 wasn't out then, only sc1.
we all know how great prime boxer was.

He's Ogs. hes not saying jinro is on the prime team, hes saying jinro in his prime , wich means jinro when he is playing his best. Hes not saying that jinro is in the prime team, i think you misunderstood.

i know it isnt the case but it almost looked like he threw both games. he had no idea when to go for the kill either time... so hard to watch Okay for you to think that is quite stupid and disrespectful to Boxer not only for what he did for Brood War, but also trying to continue and compete at his age in SC2.
Hes not actually saying he threw those games, and i agree with him on the fact that boxer just didnt know when to push he was being indecisve and it was extremely painful to watch.

Poor Boxer though.  Check out my no. of bans to know whether I am serious
I'm too lazy, so I will assume you have been banned many times since you thought he was talking about Jinro's team... when really he was just saying Jinro in his best state is better than Boxer, not that he is actually on the team Prime...

everyone just tweet at "mlglee" and ask him to bring boxer to mlg... its the only way we can see boxer back in the gsl..(or atleast a higher chance compared to code a qualifiers)

I don't know if you understand the concept of how huge fan followings works, but when there are tons of sad, disappointed people in the topic due to how arguably the most iconic e-Sports figure has been knocked out (this isn't exactly fanboy talk, BoxeR's fame and fanbase can't be understated) , it's not exactly tactful to just go "Yay, asd won!" What I don't get is why you didn't keep it to yourself. Are you actually an asd fan? Typically, people don't just post "So happy that ___ won!" just because the winner was a better player. They do that when a player that they're a huge fan of wins. Thus, it seems like you're trolling because you're unnecessarily gloating with a rather weak argument for doing so.

Actually the last thing I want to see is Boxer losing to some foreigner (unless it's someone really good like Tzain..)

Don't forget that the first 2 GSL's with 16 drop 16 join code A format were won by players that had only just qualified. So yes, it is very difficult to get into code A. The fact that bomber losira won code A in their first season and imediatly qualified to code S is kind of proof, and if DRG had qualified this season I'm sure most people would have him as the favorite to win it.

Why not? You seem to really know nothing about BoxeR. He's a former GSL semi-finalist, one of only 2 Koreans to make it to the Ro8 in TSL3 and is the 2nd overall seed in NASL.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Damnit I want boxer
Nice to see Jinro won though! At least can cheer for him in r32 against asd now.
