+ Show Spoiler + Code A Ro32 is rough. You can't take a lot of risks. Boxer actually out thought himself. asdf wasn't playing that well, Boxer just kept reposition himself into bad engagements. Boxer I think might be playing a little too much. He might need to take an Idra style "break" (by which I mean he drops his play time down a little, to rest his shoulder and not over think situations as much). He's still a capable player, but might just need a little rest. Also, hasn't he been sick lately? that probably hasn't helped either. Another spoiler: + Show Spoiler + SlayerS had a really rough GSL period for July. I think they just need to go back and get ready for team League and rock out there. | ||

Edit 2 for clarity: on reading her tweet it's more like "the" foreign fans will laugh, so I don't think it means the foreign fans will laugh *at* Boxer. Rather, she is being nice and trying to save the article writer's face. If what you translate is accurate, it's a pretty stupid article to post. Frankly we all know that Boxer is no longer one of the top tier players in SC2. How is that a problem? The writer seems to be emphasizing more on Boxer's downfall rather than the increasing competitiveness of the SC2 scene, which is just dumb. And just because asd is an unknown player doesn't mean he's terrible. MKP was an unknown before he placed 2nd. Nestea was a scrub before he won GSL2. | ||

Well what jessica wrote was more that the foreign fans will laugh at the article (and the esports scene in general i guess) because of how biased it is. | ||

Sorry, on second reading I realized my translation was screwed. It's saying Boxer lost to a smarter play by his opponent. I've edited the earlier post and will now shut the hell up and not confuse people. | ||

This has the possibility to go in a couple different ways, depending on what Boxer wants to focus on. It could be his Obi-wan vs Darth Vader moment, where he is struck down and steps into the background and allows his pupils to come to the fore. Then again, it could just be time for Boxer's fifteenth comeback. I'm hoping for the latter. | ||

Boxer's in the NASL finals, if he puts out a good performance there people will forget about his recent problems. | ||

Back when he was in the code S semi-finals, this was not even imaginable. However, to the up-and-down matches and then to Code A, ‘Emperor’ Lim Yo Hwan(31)’s fall is never ending. Once thought to be the only player who had the capacity to take the top position in both Starcraft 1 and Starcraft 2 Leagues, he now experiences the ever so painful transition to what can be known as the ‘bottom’ - Code B PC bangs. Lim Yo Hwan failed to find his pace against the clever play from Lee Dae Jin (asdfou) in the GSL season 4 Code A Round of 32 on the 29th sponsored by Pepsi and held at Seoul shin jeong dong GomTV studio falling 0-2 hopelessly. With this, Lim Yo Hwan experienced the pain of falling to the qualifiers after participating in six seasons of GSL. This season saw him get 4 wins and 11 losses with a win rate of 26.6%. Even from the first set, things did not work out for Boxer. His smooth transition from mech play into bio proved successful and netted him a lead but with the ever present flanks shaking his play, he slowly fell to the novice Lee Dae Jin (asdfou) and gave up his advantage. Boxer’s gameplay in the second set was even more lacklustre. Every attack from Boxer was blocked while the opponent’s one powerful attack landed a critical hit on Boxer. Lim Yo Hwan’s strong points, the cloaked banshee and medivac drops, were over-used without much effect on his opponent resulting in being pushed back in straight up fights worsening the situation. On the other hand, novice Lee Dae Jin took full advantage of his lead and pressured Lim Yo Hwan’s natural with his stronger firepower getting ever so close to victory and brought a surrender out of Boxer with continued attacks. (Very first attempt at translation hopefully it'll help until someone else comes up with a better one) | ||

The way this article is worded is very negative towards his play and towards SC2 in general and she doesnt want Boxer to give up his dreams because of some stupid article. I myself think that Boxer will be alright considering he has good practice partners in the Slayers team house and the mentality to never give up! hope my english not 2 bad  | ||

But he is definetely better than today. We don't need an article bashing on him. I'd say BoxeRs skill level is somewhere in between code A - code S. And if he doesn't retire I expect to see him there. | ||

Even if he lost every game from now on I'd still respect his past achievements just as much. I hope he keeps trying to get back in code A for atleast a few seasons, his games are usually entertaining to watch. Pretty sad day for me today, 2 of my favorite players losing(boxer and MKP). Oh well atleast jinro won, and if he can break his slump, so can boxer. | ||

I got this: First tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/SlayerS_Jessica/status/85985428607483904 "I guess I can't even comment about the injury (hurt part) now? Don't even think about criticizing. Sometimes I feel like I should go up and tell him "stop playing". Don't even try to make fun of (or take lightly) someone who is constantly practicing while grabbing his shoulder in pain. I'll never forgive you. Let's see what you have to say after you've been doing ANYTHING for 10 years straight, 10 hours a day. You could never pull anything off like that. Second post: http://twitter.com/#!/SlayerS_Jessica/status/86028665380536320 "Who said anything about a downfall? You have a reporter's license or something? I wanna write a "report" too. Anyone could write a report (Lit. A dog or a cow could do a report). Why don't you just write a whole report about Starcraft 1? During Starcraft 1's day you did jack but as soon as something big about BoxeR comes up you chew it up like a dog on a bone..." Mad mad props to iAstra with helping to translate this. | ||
