Agreed, this is the most exciting stuff of the whole day, yet there's just bashing and tears

You obviously just blatantly follow boxer. These strategies and innovative micro is what made him famous.

Guys you have to understand that people are not really hating on BoxeR (well if they do they're retarded) but on the playstyle that is the terran earlygame. It's just disgusting and no fun to watch, in that regard nothing changed since last years when we saw a vastly superior IdrA losing to Morrows 5rax-reaper.
I hate those bunker rushes as much as I hate the abomination of a unit that is the marauder, and that hasn't even anything to do with balance.
And now let's hope for good games, whoever you are rooting for.
Go IdrA, go BoxeR. =)
This. Terran early game has so many ridiculous options to fuck with the opponent and on top of that has the safest early game due to depots, repairs, building the CC in base and hiding tech.
You can't blame a player for using all options to beat an opponent. I'd totally cheese all day if I could win $5,000 for it.

The giant discussion Boxer is making here on LR is a testament to how good he is for eSports. People get passionate about his play, be it angry, happy or supportive. I'm not sure what I want most, Boxer to win or Idra to lose. People got angry for the same reason towards Rain in the GSL season where MC beat him in the finals. If anything this is bad because we see cheesy games instead of actual games.
What is an actual game?
One where both players mostly turtle, max, and fling armies back and forth?
Or one where one player completely exploits another's mental weakness in face of a ridiculous tournament 'extended series rule' in order to try and beat him 4 games to 1?

you play to win the game, not please some random people on the internet. If starcraft was meant to be played "standard" every single game you would have all units be invulnerable until 15 minutes have passed. It's part of the game, and I LOVE IT.

Get Roaches IdrA! He's going for his Spire play and he'S gonna loses 100%
|
Idra will going to be dead. Hellions going to run him over.

Idra really needs a roach warren.

What a lot of people are overlooking is that it's not just about who wins. If a strategy game was nothing but 6 minute cheese games over and over there would be no sponsors, no tournaments, and no scene. Now I'm NOT, I repeat, NOT, suggesting "someone is hurting e-sports" or any of that tired bullshit. What I am suggesting is that people with the "whatever wins games is best" mentality are missing a critical element of both the business and viewership of Starcraft 2. There is a lot more to it than "winner takes all".

So what I've gathered from these IdrA/BoxeR games is that BoxeR can't beat IdrA in a longer game so he cheeses the shit out of him to try and get stupid wins.
More like Idra can't beat Boxer in a short game so Boxer wins the series lol.
QQ this guys serves too hard all I wanted was to hit some cool rallies !!!!! Oh wait you're in Wimbledon deal with it.
