Boxer is old now, but still he is the emperor, so I have a feeling he will come back just like Stu Ungar came back in -97. Also, Nestea is the best player in the world, and he is only 2 years younger than Boxer.
what a beast Stu Ungar was... I swear to god that dude sold his soul to the Devil because no one can read other poker players like he could.
RIP

Long Live The Emperor!
Its a shame that someone would write something like this. I hope BoxeR isn't as affected by it as Jessica is.

If the translation on page 2 is precise, I think she's overreacting a little here. It's not the greatest piece of journalism ever, but I don't think it's so bad it warrants an uproar over it. That said, I'm sure there's parts of the story we're missing here, has bashing on Sc2-turned BW players been common on BW news sites?

Well if you call Code B the 'bottom' it's a pretty bad misuse of the word IMO. Also it's rather difficult to stay in Code A due to the amount of competition around. It does not imply a downfall. It's a slump for sure, but what I get from the article is that Boxer has fallen from grace.
It's also quite ridiculous that the author fails to mention how Boxer stayed in Code A last season, and how Boxer has done extremely well in NASL. Oh, and also it fails to remember how Boxer hasn't been a top player in SC1 for a couple of years now and he only made it to the Ro4 once, when the game was still new and less developed. I'll hardly call that being a top tier player.
I feel the anger's rather warranted.

Once again the sensationalist journalists show their ugly and disgusting faces.. BoxeR is no matter what you think about him a true legend in Starcraft. He does not deserve to he bashed on by some nobody journalist who thinks you get a "downfall" from losing 1 game. The man has done so much for SC over the years and now even taken time to make his own team and start getting new players into the path of the emperor.
BoxeR is and have always been one of my few real favorites in this game, I hope his shoulder is ok and he can come back and show that asshole who is is talking to.
|
What a stupid article, and even if he doesn't do well, he is still fucking Boxer, he didn't do crap in bw for a long time but EVERYONE IN KOREA loved him, and will continue to support him and his team.
As will myself and the entire world of starcraft.

I was very sad when boxer lost the matches today, and especially at certain points where he was in the lead or could've crushed asd. But I hope he can come back and not listen to some random journalist trying to hard to make a splash with an article like that. It's actually typical bad journalist behavior, when someone is down take potshots at them, and when they are on top, make them look greater than god.
But boxer, take care of yourself( he puts a lot of pressure on himself to perform, more than anyone else),I'm sure you can come back! Boxer fighting!
|
asd is a very good opponent, BoxeR isn't a slump, and his domination of NASL is proof of that.
|
Frankly, who the hell cares if he drops out of code A? He took the worst team in the GSTL and made them into repeat champions in almost no time at all. Slayers is a terrifying team, and players like Alicia and MMA, when playing at the peak of their skill, are as scary as a Nestea or an MC. Boxer has already had tremendous success in SC2 even if he never qualifies for Code A again, because he's created a dominant team from scratch.
|
The only big thing i see in this article is calling Code B PC cafe level standard.
Getting from code B to A is probably more difficult than going from A to S.
Just look at the people that couldn't make it or dropped down to code B this month,and a lot of people that we consider now as excellent players like Losira and Bomber had a hard time qualifying for code A.
|
Urgh..sometimes I just hate the media. BoxeR is by no means out or at the bottom of the pro scene. While his lack of championship titles in SC2 is unfortunate, it doesn't make me any less of a fan. BoxeR is still capable of putting up Code S play, and more importantly, capable to give the best entertainment and deliver amazing games. And as the selfish fan I am, that's all that matters to me.
I see nothing but respect and support for the Emperor in the foreign scene and the community know better than to judge him based on one unfortunate result. While I understand his girlfriend's worries, I doubt they are needed.

the retarded "journalist" fails to account for boxer owning the NASL

the Reporter who wrote this very disrespectful compilation of text was so kind to leave his Email address at the bottom, so if you wanna drop him a line on how much you like his uninformed opinion, go ahead:
scrapper@osen.co.kr
edit:
I didn't mean to imply you should go all medieval on his ass.
TL standards should apply to all your messages on the internetz

This is not a good idea.
It won't change anything, and it leaves a bad impression of foreign fans.
A better idea would be to somehow send messages of support to Boxer or his team.

..although going all hooligan on him might not be the most mature way to go about it, perhaps he'd think twice before talking smack again.

If you have a twitter account, you can tweet your support to @SlayerS_Jessica. And I'm sure some TL forum members who are in Korea can pass on messages too.
|
for me it seems that Jessica doesn't tweet it in English because Boxer did well in foreign tournaments and that the foreign fans would not care what the author says, maybe she is even safing him, cause you never know what the emperors' foreign fans are up to ^^
btw can someone pls translate what she tweets with MC and MMA... if its just something unimportant leave it be, but maybe there is more info in those tweets....
|
Jessica should know the foreigners are laughing at that article!
we will remain loyal to the emperor despite this heretics blasphemy!
|
he is still good, but busy with his team.
|
Everyone is pretty much on the money re:journalist.
This is one of those moments where I choose to stay quiet until BoxeR bounces back. I believe a chorus of "I told you so" will be heard throughout the internet.
