Isn't Boxer still in SKT1? I don't think Kespa would approve to see an icon like Boxer in a sc2 tournament | ||

That is so. Seems like you need to check it from blizzards ranking instead. E: Seems like you cannot check it. Sorry. | ||

I know it's not really 'fair' seeding them on their past exploits in BW, but for the sake of getting these tournaments increased ratings... At least seed them in this GSL, and see if they perform or not. Mind you, if I was one of them, I would probably turn down being seeded.. | ||

But there is no seeding in GSL so we might as well not see boxer in gsl season 2 and for that matter Cool/Tester/NaDa/July etc. They all might end up facing eachother in the pre-lims. I would predict that the brackets will somehow magically avoid pairing up july/nada/boxer/etc outside of televised matches. | ||

I think the best solution is to just do what they did with foreigners to BW pros-- ensure that none of them can eliminate eachother in the qualifiers. | ||

Maybe if the organisation gives him a free pass. He lost to Idra lately and Idra didn't even get to the Ro16 in GSL1. All he has left is the name, but not the skills that used to go by that name. That didn't stop legions of fans from watching Nal_ra's Oldboy. While he may not make huge impact everyone thinks he might, there's no doubt that his name and participation alone carries alot of weight not only in Korea... but globally. So I'm excited for other reasons. | ||

His micro was good but his macro sucked (almost too much for it even to be him, he had like 1.5k minerals at one point). From the games that i saw, he looked rather weak. it may not have been him though, artosis just said it was. 1. It's confirmed to be Boxer 2. He uploaded 1 game | ||

Who here that is pitching this has every really studied A&P and knows what would be breaking down to slow hand/eye coordination? Really you should be fine up until 35ish or longer if a person really tries. I know I was much better at SC and then later BW when I played and I was like 14 because I wasn't married and I didn't have a job. I'm much better at understanding the concept/math and not just blinding following build orders posted on the internet in SC2. If I devoted as much time as I did in SC and BW then I would be much better at SC2 than I ever was at SC1. But I value my marriage and paying the bills more. The reasons may differ, but there is an undeniable connection with BW players dropping off in their late 20's. Jaedong himself has acknowledged this and knows he doesn't have that many years left. Whether it's hand-eye coordination, or improving at a slower rate, or lack of motivation because of other priorities, something is certainly going on. | ||
