He only shines when the playoffs aren't around. Last year he was burdened with the GSL and lost both the GSL and the playoffs. This year he does poorly in OSL and playoffs. He has too much to concentrate on. He may be like Bisu where you either focus on individuals or team leagues. And skt told Bisu to focus on teamleagues and you see how it worked for them. | ||

NaDa, YellOw, Reach, Anytime, to name a few players who were basically inactive all did pretty poorly. Honestly I'd think that Boxer would know what it's like to be a progamer more than any of the other coaches. I should rephrase my premise, that Boxer doesn't appear to live the out the gruelling pro-gamer schedule anymore. He's married, and has had many professional and business accomplishments in his life. He isn't rising from the ashes anymore, a warrior built out of the struggle. He's just the Emperor with all his countrymen by his side. | ||

He was married and had a son, and was forced to retire after losing passion for the game and messing up his wrist. | ||

They have deep lineups so they can feasibly send out a lot of their players for ace matches. The joke with KTFlash has some merit and I don't know if anyone else in STX is as good as Innovation. Hmmm, I would hesitate to agree about SKT this season. It's sort of true, but many of their players (I think) have seemed quite unreliable. Plenty that are capable but none that have played consistently enough. They all have their weaknesses. FanTaSy really seems affected by streaks, Rain apparently is also ad doesn't seem good in Ace matches, but they and numerous others have also performed very well at other times. I actually feel like STX has a more reliable line-up, even if there are less players that you would consider as skilled as more of the SKT players. They seem more solid. | ||

And skt told Bisu to focus on teamleagues and you see how it worked for them. But if he were truly a great player, which I believe he is, he would be able to handle it like INnoVation. INnoVation single-handedly carried STX this far (arguably Trap as well) and still manages to win every fricking game in OSL. It's depressing that Rain can't carry Bisu's torch | ||

And yes he helped out a lot while the rest of the team pretty much was fickle over who would be good or bad. I honestly can't believe SKT even made the playoff with so many weaknesses. But Rain was strong enough to carry us most of the time. But he failed when it matters two years in a row now. SKT has some rebuilding to do. | ||

The only part of this that makes me really worried is Fantasy being streaky. Wasn't he known for being a rock which weighed the team down in BW or am I just misremembering? | ||
