boxers job is to win the game the best way he can. i dont think anyone would say boxers mechanics are in the top 30 anymore. hes almost 10 years older than idra and has alot of responsibility these days, he has to fight smart. boxer knows how to make a player like idra go on tilt and he HAS to do it if he wants to win, and its not by playing macro style every game.

are you fucking serious? You just bumped in to this thread with 14 pages just to say "BoxeR cheesed".

What is the basis for that expert analysis of yours?

Gimmick by your shallow knowledge of the game. If you are actually observant, you would have notice it was not gimmicky. Boxer's barrack location and follow-through are carefully planned and practiced. As matter of fact, Boxer's win over Sen has also shown that he "Targets" opponent, devised a plan to exploit.


1) boxer observes places they don't scout every single game
2) he makes proxy barracks there

boxer is a tactical genius how does he do it

And seriously, you can't call him the Emperor anymore. He's been getting mediocre results in SC2. Honestly, Code A?

You guys are even more pathetic than the player itself. Because no matter what he did, half of the people in this thread are even more BM.


Idra makes his living off of playing a video game and he quits so quickly and gives up easily what does that say about his character in-game and outside of the game? Also people are talking about how great boxer is who he was and still is, Idra should show some respect to Boxer instead of being BM which is why people are upset.


How come u people think it is your decision when he has to leave the game. He leaves when he feels he has lost, it was his decision and it will always be. Hes not playing for you, hes playing for himself.

Also the only thing i hear from people who met idra at mlg and incontrol etc is that idra in person is a nice guy ( see last incontrol interview for example )

What is BM? Is it BM if you leave the game not saying GG ? Wow that will sure hit boxer hard, changes his life completely. Its not like he didnt cheese 2 games to win, whats the "good game" in that?


Everyone ALWAYS GG's in tournaments. Idra doesn't against Boxer, THE most legendary player in the world. It's just childish and shows unsportsmanlike behavior. It's like a football player not shaking hands after a match or a MMA fighter not showing respect after a fight. People dislike BM and unsportsmanlike behavior, it's pretty obvious to everyone but Idra apologists.


Ok cool, according to that theory people hate sport in general, especially football, soccer, tennis, icehokey and so on.
How come idra still has the largest fanbase outside of korea?
You read this thread, and you want to tell me that this community is not as BM as not saying GG?


Plenty of people hate it when players demonstrate a lack of sportsmanship. Popular sports' official Associations constantly promote fair play and respect in an attempt to weed out all the bullshit that has crept in with the mass media. Players actually get fined severely when they don't behave, especially if it's during an actual game (they get fined for the bullshit they do in their private lives as well, by their own teams).

He's got the largest fanbase? So does Lady Gaga. Mass popularity is hardly a convincing argument these days.

As for the community BM, I agree it's quite bad these days. Then again, players are supposed to be the role model for the community, and since you claim Idra has the biggest fanbase outside of Korea, it's hardly surprising.

You realise who BoxeR actually is, don't you? Counting him out in any situation is completely idiotic. GJ on the win BoxeR.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Both builds were pretty standard by Boxer (he's done variations of both countless times in competition), and well practiced and prepared on their respective maps.

The truth is, IdrA seem underprepared or off his game a little, particularly in the second game. I can't put my finger on it, though.

The first game was just straight-up Terran abuse, bunkering a fast-expanding Zerg is as standard in ZvT as a Toss pylon-blocking an expansion. The second game was weird. IdrA was in great shape, but had a bad engagement in a choke and that was that.

You didn't actually watch Boxer back in the day, did you?



Three bunker rushes in a row. In the finals. This is (part of) why we worship The Emperor.

People watching and playing SC2 think that cheese is so terrible, but the fact is that it's a large part of the game, and always has been. If you can't deal with cheese, then you're playing greedy, and not taking the proper steps to defend yourself.

You don't know the definition of mediocrity.

Mediocre is your job. Your house. Your life. Your grammar.

BoxeR pioneered the terran race. He beat people that IdrA would have been crushed by, under circumstances that are almost unwinnable. Have you ever seen a BoxeR comeback? Not one?

Extraordinary. That BoxeR, is the one who pwned your demigod earlier.

Get used to it, I think him and MMA are gonna roflstomp lots of good ones on the way to the top.

Tell me: if Lady Gaga flicked everybody off in all of her music videos, and still had that fanbase, can you honestly say that the majority of people are disturbed by her actions?
