The name FoxeR caught on coz it was easier to say that than Fake Boxer. But who the hell wants to be called fake. Can't say I blame him. 'Fauxer' (foe-er? duh...) was laughable.

FruitDealer and NesTea aren't very good names either. It's the person that makes the name not the other way around.


FruitDealer is a brilliant name. NesTea however... isn't, yea.


NeXTea, however, would be brilliant

Haha. Well, maybe it wouldn't mean anything to a Korean. But I might call him that in a post or two anyway.

MICRO MACHINE. LEAD THE WAY.

I am surprised that people are even remotely excited about this namechange. I mean, it's not my place to say what his nick should be... but this is awfully boring. I mean... it's like the people called themselves Neo just after the matrix movies came out or Leonidas after 300 came out. I just find them unoriginal and terribly dull.

Oh well Foxer would have been awesome tho.

OptimusPrime is a great name.

FoxeR was always a shitty idea. FauxeR, maybe. But FoxeR was full of fail.

I'm not a fan of the new name. For someone is the most famous bio user, I would think OptimusPrime would be a better name for someone who is known to play heavy mech style.

Why is it that every time I read his name, I read it in Artosis' voice? I agree with the above poster, for someone who plays almost pure marine...

I personally think he should have gone with MarinesPrime, but i am satisfied with OptimusPrime instead.

From the GSL3 qualifier interview (found here):
Q. So, you will not change your ID?
A. OptimusPrime is only given the the greatest Prime member. I didn't win, so I should look for a next opportunity. I'm going to keep using the ID BoxeR for now.

Man, I thought Ellen Page was pretty funny.

OptimusPrime is okay I guess...

edit: according to Barundar, he's not changing. I think that's the worst of all possible options.

Thanks for noticing Think very few people read the interview thread, since a new one wasn't posted on day 2, which is a shame beceause CanucksJC put alot of time into them, and there is some good ones in between. I'm sure we will see plenty of people claiming Foxer is called OptimusPrime for many a live report thread to come.

Random opinion: He keeps saying he wants to switch, and mentions diffrent names/conditions. I'm suspicius!

I think at the beginning he was okay with Foxer, but then Korean fans dislike that nickname.

Then he decided to use Optimus, which is considered the greatest name on Prime. However he lost the finals, so he thinks he's not worth the name yet.

I think at this rate it will be difficult to follow what the fans want, cause there are few different opinions. He should just think of a new name. Preferably something more Korean, like a weird combination of a noun with an adjectives/verb (like: HopeTorture )

He should have a macro that says "Autobots, roll out!" everytime he unseiges his tanks.

I'm sure someone mentioned it already, but he really needs access to the Terratron now.

I am just wondering why this thread is still alive when FoxeR said that because he did not win the GSL he will be keeping the name BoxeR and not switching to Optimus Prime (which is such a dope name)

OP should be updated with the quote from the interview IMO.
