SlayerS mainly for me, and his disconnection from the failure of being a pro-player.
I wouldn't say that he was a failure, I'm pretty sure that he got further than most players close to retirement when he switched. 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 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's not married, but you are right he isn't struggling and sacrificing anymore.
Did he end up getting divorced?
They never got married to begin with, they are still dating
I thought they ended up having wedding photos posted online?
They were modeling for some magazine, they weren't real.

Welcome to Starcraft~
INnoVation fans seem to have it pretty good. And if I were a KHAN fan, I'd be damn proud of Jangbi
Two OSL wins in a row, just when I started watching BW too. Jangbi is a dragon.
I think he and Bisu are the only dragons left. I haven't heard of anything from the other four.
Kal? Dunno where he is. Stork? Let's not talk about Stork BeSt? Doesn't live up to his name. Free? Not a bad player but I haven't heard of him doing great things recently.
Kal played for AFA, so I guess he's still doing military service? Stork... yeah. BeSt beat Innovation the other day quite convincingly, so there's that. Maybe he'll get back into true form. Free is very mediocre right now with a 54.55% winrate in HotS.
Best's win over Innovation was just down to him choosing the single build order that countered Innovation's build. Even then, if Innovation had SCV scouted he would have been fine.

BeSt's play after the lead was quite impressive as well though, and made me think he might have clinched it even without the BO advantage.

Also didn't he win his game tonight, too?
His play was mediocre, he forgot to rebuild his cyber core and ended up with an army made of almost purely zealots and colossus.

BeSt both wins were because his cheeses worked. Until I see solid overall play from him I'm not convinced.
Im so fucking dissapointed in Rain right now! I know he is also but loosing 3 games during playoffs is simply not acceptable. Also Bisu's play was really weak.

Flash had like 3 losses total and an almost perfect record versus Protoss. Bisu may have been good but I'm no fool, Flash was in another league at the end of BW (with Fanta trailing ofc)
At the time of that Final nobody was trailing Flash.
Lol what? Fantasy went to back to back OS. Defeated flash in a bo5. Went to SPL first also and defeated flash. Got #1 Eli and #1 power rank. What are you smoking?
Good job STX! I'm guessing STX will reach the Finals.
SKT wins with either BM or Celebration are quite unusual. I understand if Parting does it but there is there some bad blood I missed or Kespa wanted STX to win as this wk be their last season? Haha this skt fanboy tears makes me theorize conspiracies.

Fantasy was the #1 Terran for sure, he looked unstoppable until Jangbang
rain too overhyped. people always say hes really good and shit but he never wins when it matters. skt doesnt have a reliable ace yet. maybe the 3rd installment will change things
