But what's amazing about the game and what is making people excited is not the fact that he lost, but the manner in which he lost, and more specifically how he managed to do SO MUCH damage with so few units for like a full 15 minutes. Despite only having half the army size, he ran Idra around and around the map, sniping stuff left and right and managed to kill his expansions multiple times. At one point Idra was forced to long distance mine from the gold because he was basically broke and couldn't afford to rebuild another hatchery.
The point is that if Boxer can do that much in a game where he's down 60 food and has basically no chance of winning, it's exciting to think what moves he could manage to pull out in a situation where he reaches the midgame on equal footing. + Show Spoiler + Even Boxer wouldn't be able to do that had idra built a few mutalisks with that massive economy he had. Neither would he do that if idra A moved with the massive advantage he had at many points in the game. Idra only held off because he's a very safe player.
Really, I was so confused as to why Idra let so many drops happen. He had complete vision over the map and knew where almost every single drop came from.
And so much damage with so little units? What did he do special to do that? Drop 8 marines far away from ultra ball - stim - focus fire hatchery. Really, this game wasn't all that good.
+ Show Spoiler +Boxer is playing in this match, that automatically made your opinions other than Boxer is awesome, invalid.
Very entertaining game this is, Much love for doing this for the community! a lil too bad that the quality is quite shitty

Awesome, first SC2 rep I enjoyed.

Thanks for this Artosis, we need to see more games like this! Not only was it nice to see BoxeR in action, but there are very few recent IdrA replays out there.
About the game itself,
+ Show Spoiler +It was disheartening to see BoxeR get dominated like this even though he showed mind blowing tactics and micro, staying in the game with a ~60 lower food count. This is considering IdrA basically loses to any decent Terran player these days.

oh my fkn good thank you artosis !
hope the match is as big as the contestants :D

Must be hard for Him to play/practice.... since he is still coaching SKT1 and at the same time live up to everyone's expectations of him in sc2 (Do for SC2 what he did in SC1 or show the same brilliance). Not to mention everybody in friggin SK knowing his ID alrdy...
|
I like the fact how much people analyze a frikkin ladder game.
*qq*"Idra made a few mistakes during a 30 minutes LADDER game"*qq*
*qq*"Boxer is too old and bad because he isn't unbeatable after only few weeks of practicing and his macro isn't perfect so therefor I'm not impressed even though I myself is in silver*qq*
Grow the fuck up loosers.
It was great to see that Boxer really has the same style in SC2 as in BW. With more time he will become so sick.
|
sick thanks for the video
|
This thread made me facepalm... Yes, Idra loses to every decent Terran these days... WHAT?!
But superbly epic match nonetheless! We haven't really seen many interesting tactics in most high level games, and this match was full of them. No doubt BoxeR will be even more of a beast by GSL2.

when Boxer typed 'WoW ! You Idra ? ggyo' I thought he was just going to leave the game
|
WOW. Artosis, you're a legend mate!
|
Quite impressed with Boxer's play...Idra has been mastering SC2 since Alpha, and Boxer apparently just recently picked it up. NICE!
|
wow at people criticizing boxer's skills,especially after boxers bwstyle medivac usage,also the guy is 30 years old.You call yourselfs gamers?You should be ashamed of yourselfs.We are lucky to see old legends like boxer/oov/july touching this game.

Didint think teh game was too epic, i mean, it looked like most of my own TvZ's on this map, sit in base make marine tank medevac, get gold ecpo, get fucked by ultras[/QUOTE]
cool can I get your replays. You did triple dropship play like the video right? And killed all the expos hatches at least once... Replays would be nice~
the difference between multiple drop ship by terran n defend the drop as zerg is simple the terran need 60 apm to drop in 3 location n the zerg need 600 apm to stop it...

Artosis, we need more like this! Except get your computer fixed. =]
Boxer seemed almost timid at the beginning parts of the game, but damn when he started using those medivacs it was awesome. He should clearly join Startale for SC2!... or TL.

If Boxer wants to be in a Team he would make one himself, instead of joining other nublets imo.... yes, i'd bet Boxer was jumping up and down in excitement when he heard there's no more Scourge for zergs in SC2.

thanks for the video, but is the replay uploaded anywhere? I want to look more closely.
|
so awesome, u really can tell it's BoxeR playing. Would be christmas early if he switched to SC2 fullyime.
|
Am I the only one wondering why Idra didn't make hydras ? With his creep spread and the infestors he could have killed a lot of those drops if he just had some anti air ... not talking about an army of hydras but 2 groups of 3 well placed would have done.
