So im guessing you dont think ANY foreigners are good then right? because boxer is better than almost all of our foreigner hero's (that arent in korea) he went 7-1 in nasl stomping foreigners and beating what many people call the best foreigners (sen and idra) so sure if you only think all the best foreigners are average at best. Sure i understand alot of people hold koreans and foreigners to different standards,, but that shouldnt be the case in sc2 anymore. Also you said boxer has never been good at sc2, so you dont think getting to the round of 4 in season 2 is good? thats just average? You say this, but im sure if i looked at your post there would be something like "oh this foreigner is so good" , you cant call boxer bad and on the other hand start praising foreigners hes better than.(i dont know that you did this, but i can assume you have praised foreigners before) Im not saying hes way better than all foreigners but he has proven in the NASL that he can tango with and take out the best of the foreigners the only person he lost against was squirtle a korean | ||

GSL semi-finalist. TSL ro16. And he just 2 weeks ago went 8-1 series in NASL, facing down tonnes of top names in a proper best of 3 format, not the idiotic diceroll of the up/down / Code A...all while recovering from injury and while coaching and managing guys like MMA who came down to MLG and stomped on the best the foreign scene had to offer. The fuss is people insulting a) a player who had a bad tournament, but who has shown he has high level skill. b) insulting an icon of gaming and starcraft, the most popular and respected figure in either. That's the fuss, and whether the reaction the article got is warranted or not, you should at least read this thread to before posting your stupidity. | ||

I do not follow GSL too much, but the format is .. too Korean I guess. From what I gather it leaves a lot of room for luck on who (player/race) you get matched up against and that can make it hard wihle cheering for your favorite. As far as journalist sensationalism goes, I think it is a good thing. This type of writing is present for all spots. SC players just need time to get used to the drama and learn how to play their role in it. | ||

i think it is natural that so korean fans will show anger to Boxer, beause they are so fond of watching his game and feel disappointed when seeing that boxer has fall into Code B. anyway, it is not right to blame the player for he did his best. | ||

No matter what: Boxer is a hard working pro, a winner, a champion, and a legend. He is the man. Jessica is a caring and loving woman, and an awesome wife. F that hater who published the unmannered article. | ||

Better than most if not all foreigners though. | ||

Before everyone start launching their units at me and ignoring the white flag i'm wielding read what i'm about to put down. First of all there is his shoulder injury; its one of those things that have to be taken care of, and constant playing ain't a way to do it; now with him having been kicked out of GSL Code A, he has been able to rest a bit more and hopefully have his shoulder in a better condition. Second; its a whole month that he can just focus on improving/testing things out/refining his whole game play. Third; with the clearance of GSL in his shedule he's able to plan his time better with all the stuff he wants to do Probably are a lot more things i could put down but i would say this is kind of all the important things. I'm was sad as well when i saw him go down; and really got pissed off when i saw this post. Only reason i can say why i'm posting this so late is because i finally have time for it. Kind of all i had to say | ||

Kind of all i had to say I agree that he needs a rest (not only phisically but mentally), but I'm not sure that being kicked out of GSL is going to do that; it probably will make him want to work that much harder. Boxer is the kind of guy that thinks: 1. I'm winning! I cannot be sloppy or I will fall down, I'll practice harder. 2. I'm losing! I need to practice harder. At least, that's the feel I have of him. | ||

Regarding esports not being taken seriously because of articles like this compared to other sports. Garbage articles come out every day regarding other sports, but don't really receive a response besides enraged readers. | ||
