He did say that he would be changing his name to Optimus if he won when they originally did the interview.
Posts regarding his name change kind of jumped the gun.

Yep, and he didn't win so...

It'll be good motivation for him

Imo, this shouldn't even warrant a thread. Boxer keeps telling his fans that he's gonna change his name blah blah blah, why would he wait for a GSL win to change his name when he can simply change his name whenever he wants to.

Sounds like that fits in with the korean culture very well.

I'm not sure if anyone posting in this thread understands what playing professional sc2 means to these guys; it is not just them playing sc2 for cash, fun and fame like most of you would.

I think it's interesting that he ever picked Optimus for an ID - however it is not his ID, just his team's ID, and he did not become the champion for Prime therefore he is not going to label himself as one. Sure he got to the finals. He is not the champion though.

The ID is just the ID. The player is the player. Doesn't really matter what ID he uses.

I just hope he didn't actually choose this id that was posted in the other qualifier thread:
이정훈 — OptimusEllenPage`BoxeRFoxerPrime[ArnC]

lol.
thenk, yeah?

name change isn't allowed during the torunement. If he already signed for GSL3 before he said about his name change then he cannot change it.

Isn't he still the best Prime by making the furthest out of all in Prime? ... As long as NesTea isn't in Prime... which he isn't...

wowow how annoying :D

But.. what if he never wins a GSL?

Will the future of the starcraft 2 pro scene be dominated in confusion b/w the two great names BoxeR and BoxeR?

Thanks for the update though :!!!


HIghly doubt either of these two will big another 6months to a year from now.

I would love it if he called himself OptimusEllenPage`BoxeRFoxerPrime[ArnC], that would be hilarious.

Why not rip off of Boxer in a more clever, more SC2 relevant way than BoxeR or even FoxeR?

Definitely not taking his stated reason at face value.


The poor kid's confused. He decided on Optimus and there was a huge backlash of response. Most fans said they'd call him Foxer or Boxer anyway despite the name change. He probably doesn't like being called Fake Boxer. Much safer to just remain Boxer and think of a new name next time.

Personally, I don't care what he calls himself. I just want to see the kid play. His nerves gave way in that last game with Nestea. He'd be even more awesome when he matures.

First, I want to say to anyone who thinks SlayersBoxeR is fine with this that they are naive fools. OF COURSE he won't say in public that he doesn't like it. Of course, he doesn't want to look like a jerk or an arrogant. Because if he did complain about it, everyone would give him shit. Especially being a Korean, and you know how awkward they can be with that kind of stuff.

Until this point it was fine. But now it's starting to get old. No, I am not butthurt...to tell the truth, I don't even care about this crap. It's just making it's way in annoying-territory.
I am BoxeR. I will be FoxeR. I will be OptimusPrime. I will not be OptimusPrime.... Why doesn't he just answer "I'll change name when I feel like it, give me a fucking break".


Because if SlayersBoxer made a big deal of it (as so money people on this thread are) everyone else will give him shit. Why? Because he would be throwing a hissy fit over something that is not a big deal. Which is what is happening here right now. Lol.

Seriously? Mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery. Stop judging the kid. As far I (and a whole lot of other fans) are concerned, he's earned the right to call himself whatever the hell he wants, whenever the hell he wants to.

Foxer I like. Boxer I like more than Optimus and is easier to day. Fauxer is lame. Heck, I'd take ClareEllenPage over Fauxer anyday.

Agreed. If they don't have a problem with it why are you people still arguing about it. It's not your name it's boxer's name.
