I always thought he had named himself BoxeR as a tribute to the original BoxeR because, as his mom said in the interview, BoxeR was the person who inspired him to better himself as a player and he dreamed of being the best. Hell, even his play style is reflective of the BW hero himself.

Now that he's proved he can actually hold his own in a major tournament, he wants to have an ID that's his own, as opposed to a homage to his hero.

With the name OptimusPrime he's going to look like one bad ass Thor.

Very nice! I wonder though, that considering his preferences up to now (EllenPage), he didnt named himself MeganFoxPrime! Would still remind the world that he was called FoxeR once

Next person to sign to prime should be MetroidPrime

Haha that would be funny, but it has to be a Zerg player in order to fit!

I don't think he uses enough vikings/sieges for this name.

He just played a guy named NesTea ... technically yes, but in practice I doubt anyone is going to care.

Foxer would him for ever mark as a fake boxer, so it's very clear why he didn't choose that.

OptimusPrime....i don't know, does nto fit him, since he plays much with tier one units and Transformers would be at least tier 3 units imho..but what do i know? i'm drunk :D

Considering he joined prime, picking optimus is a pretty badass idea.
