They shouldn't even allow players at the top to have same names. MLG is the same way when it came to the whole Halo 3 scene where the a player in the top 16 can't have similar names or even sound the same. There was a player "Heinz" and "Hynes" about 2 years ago, and since Heinz had the higher seed and was consistently where as Hynes was an upcoming top 16 player; Hynes was forced to change his name if he wanted to compete at MLG at a high level.

BoxeRPrime is fine, since hes officially tagged on the team. SlayerSBoxer himself stated that he should keep the ID, so why not follow the words of your idol.

This doesn't even make sense. For one, he's obviously the best Prime member. Why should the best Prime member win GSL to be considered the best Prime? lolwut


Exactly, he actually got higher than any other prime member has, so screw their rules!

They all changed their names

ManofOneway -> 슬레이어스박서 (SlayerSBoxeR in Korean)
BoxeR -> 해병왕프라임 (MarineKingPrime in Korean)

I guess you can figure that by watching Koreans who got silver/bronze medal on Olympics look very depressing.

Honestly, he could call himself Kerrigans second spine or something and it wouldn't matter, the community will always see him as FoxeR from now on anyways.

The masses have spoken sir, you are FoxeR.

Yup, it's simply BoxerRPrime and SlayerSBoxer. Yeah it's a bit more to type than Foxer and Boxer, but it is more accurate since he has never actually gone by Foxer. Calling him Foxer is like calling Idra "Grack". Sure the fans want it, but the player himself doesn't call himself that.

You forget that the Emperor himself gave him permission.

He's not "ripping off" the name. It's the same deal as naming yourself "MichealJordan" or any other famous person. BoxeR was FoxeR's inspiration, and he didn't even know BoxeR would move to SC2. He's already resolved this issue with the man himself, and I don't understand why everyone's still whining about it.


It's more like being signed to a professional basketball team and changing your name to Michael Jordan. Or publishing a book using the pseudonym 'William Shakespere'.

He didn't change his name to 임요환. It's a dictionary word and it's not even the primary method by which the players are known. It's really time to stop caring so much.

I don't see him winning any GSL until he figures out how to play a macro game. I'm sure most players by now will have figured out how to beat him (I've been seeing this foxer style on the ladder and it's been a breeze to beat) and once his all-in style starts to lose momentum, he'll have to learn how to play in the late game better. I don't foresee him winning any GSL any time soon if he keeps playing the same way.


BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!

You have seen the FoxeR style on the ladder and it was a breeze to beat?!?

NO. What you have seen îs just random Diamond/Plat players making a shit-ton of marines.. I make a shit-ton of marines when i am playing terran cause it's fun, but i do not claim to say i am playing "FoxeR k-style", or some shit..

FoxeR needs to know that no one cares as much as he thinks we do. In fact, no one really cares at all.

I'm glad that he's so humble as to avoid changing his name to OptimusPrime until he wins. Until then, he'll stick with the MUCH more humble title of "Boxer."

People will bitch, piss, and moan about anything. It's his own damn name, let him change it(or not) how he likes. He only get's one free chance, and it will probably be his professional handle for a long time to come. More than enough reason to be picky, and/or deliberate.

MarineKing is a good name. Was watching the all-star games last night with Foxer vs Zenio and it looked like his style was in danger, but then he came back and crushed Zenio in game 3, so I think it still has legs yet.

He's only turned 17 not that long ago. I'm sure there are plenty of more kids around that age who are a bit indecisive and capricious about deciding on their game ID. It probably also has to do with the trend that Koreans seem to prefer identifying players by their real names, so he doesn't think that it's that big of a deal. On that note, I noticed that a lot of Koreans were starting to identify even some non-Koreans by their real names ("Dario" instead of "TLO") in their forums anyway.

Is that why he's getting asked about it in every interview? :S
