Nothing wrong here, no confusion.

And by the way he is not ripping off someone's name, he's just a huge fan of the real boxer.

Definitely not taking his stated reason at face value.

This whole name business is getting quite out of control, haha.

And I still don't even understand why it's "Foxer" and not "Fauxer". Unless people just butchered it to hell and everyone ran with it.

He said at the beginning of the GSL finals that he would only change if he won the GSL.

He didn't win, why should he change it. Good job foxer.

Cross posting...

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 ).

Btw, I think the name ManofOneWay is pretty cool. Too bad he didn't get to use it. Probably GOM/Blizzard requested him to keep his old name to attract more viewers?

This is the best fucking reason I have ever heard. Can you imagine the implications? This means the strongest Prime member will be granted the title OptimusPrime. Perhaps it will go through multiple users and become a tradition lasting decades.

Maybe not, but fuck yeah FoxeR

There's no meaning really, just short for Fake Boxer.

Yes "Fauxer" has more meaning behind it, but according to the last poll, more people here were in favor of Foxer (by a landslide, iirc).

Maybe it's because "Fauxer" would be pronounced "Foe-ur" and intelligent people would make fun of him for failing to know it. Maybe.

In Korea don't they just mostly refer to players by their real names anyway? Then again, I guess that doesn't help much either since there seem to be so few Korean surnames!
Try using both Irradiate and Defensive Matrix on an Overlord. It looks pretty neat.

Maybe he's thinking about changing teams and doesn't want to carry around the ID Optimus for the rest of his career when he probably won't have Prime after it.

Can Boxer recruit Foxer to his new intel sponsored team?

Does anyone outside of teamliquid refer to him as Foxer? It'd be awesome if he'd just take that as his ID, but I imagine Korean fans are not referring to him by that name.

Maybe become SlayerS_FoxeR.

Why would you want to be known as the fake anything? Granted he is one of my favorite players right now on the pro circuit it annoys the crap out of me that he is ok with having a direct copy of his hero's name. At least change you'r name to SOMETHING else, anything, I always saw people who copied professionals ID's on b.net as losers.

P.S. He didn't win the GSL but obviously he got the furthest in the clan so why not Optimus...?

He's still waiting for a match of him vs Slayers_Boxer in GSL and will just force HIM to change his ID!

Someone should register the name SlayerS_`BoxeR` (and qualify for GSL4). Then we can talk about confusion!

Anyway, BoxeRPrime should be unique enough for us to keep them apart. Else, just call him Foxer, people will understand both.

greatest Prime member. I didn't win,

I would assume the members of Prime played for it, and BoxeR lost, not "didn't win GSL"

With that logic, some else in the Prime team would take that name.

He said he would change the name if he won GSL. He didn't. There isn't really any need to imagine that there was another tournament.

Anyway, I am very much enjoying how anal some of the posts in this thread are. If he wants to be a champion before he takes a name of leadership like that, then that's his choice.
High five :---)

No, he is referring to GSL Season 2.

Then he's going to be boxer for another few months most likely =/..

Saying "Going to the best prime member" and "whoever wins GSL" are two completely different things.

I think the way they should rank primes by #1 being Optimus would be awesome and a fun ranking system
I asked my friend how the ratio at a party was, he replied. "Let's just say for every guy there was two dudes."

I kind of knew he wasn't going to change his name to Foxer since Artosis asked him, so I can't really say I'm that surprised.
Gravity is just a feeble plot.
