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?

Boxer carefully plans strategies before his games with follow ups knowing that certain things will fail. Don't call what he does gimmicky.

Guys.. IdrA doesn't care. He's said the GG is meaningless to him. He'd be just as likely to GG to a random noob than to Boxer, he doesn't give a shit.

No GG is not BM... saying "fuck you" or something is.


Who knows what they typed to each other in the B.Net lobby before the game...

But more importantly I feel like Idra threw the games away so NASL would be more successful with SlayerS_`BoxeR` in the grand finals. Game two felt like a giveaway...

... what? intentionally losing? who in their right mind would do that? (sAvIoR excluded) for a place in a very prestigious tourney?

it's called ee han timing. BoxeR saw his oppurtunity and pounced, IdrA defended well with fungals and NPs, but in a choke that tight, you could have 40 infestors, and it would probably have the same result. BoxeR probably practiced that for weeks.

I only had the opportunity to watch game two once, but with Idra's expansiveness across the map it felt like a depressed dropout to me...

Lol wow, people are still making excuses for IdrA when he is pretty much the ONLY progamer that doesn't GG, then say that not GGing doesn't matter because the only player that doesn't do it says that it doesn't. Cool.

personally game 2 i think was due to infestors being too close to the NP thor when the np on the thor ran out all the siege tanks fired on it, and the splash killed the infestors........i think......thats kinda what it looked like to me, but id have to re watch the video to be sure though.

He went 8-1 and won the group. So yeah, he is trash..

No but seriously, BOXER HWAITING!!! I'm so glad to see him in the finals.

Even if he went down to code B, he will always be The Emperor. Always. And stop your QQ. Idra will bounce back. I'm pretty sure he'll make it to the finals too.
