He redefined the way the game was played, won tons of championships, and he is an incredibly humble and nice person. Not just starcraft, the world of esports. we wouldn't have what we have it wasn't for the emperor. He essentially created the excitement of SCBW with his at the time dominance and inventive play of a race that was largely seen as broken (underpowered). He created the first pro team, which eventually began proleague. Almost everything esports from southern korea has happened because BoxeR had his hand in it. Claiming that just because you never heard of this guy is no excuse setmeal. That's more of a sign of your ignorance than it is of this article. | ||

In truth, his play is at best average and his time in the sun is over. Reporters have the right to free speech and to express their views. In my opinion, Boxer deserves to be criticised for his poor play. Boxer is more or less what made the entire Esport industry legitimate & popular. He was utterly dominating, creative beyond belief and still remained incredibly humble and charismatic. Everyone loved and loves him and combined with his financial success, it made esports into serious business. No matter how great a player is, nothing turns eyes like saying a creative and loved player yields ~500k a year playing a computer game. THAT turns eyes. Plus, he's handsome. Actually, he's about as perfect of an icon for an (e)sports industry as anyone can possibly hope for. | ||

Boxer, in a large part made watching and playing SC possible in the form that it is today. And he's still better than 95% of foreigners. And he runs a team. There are simply too many good players that aren't a part of the GSL format, but those are just temporary setbacks. Next time just stop your post @ bold. | ||

SC2 is and always will be in the shadow of BW's pro scene and magnificent history; to truly understand SC2's scene you have to look back for perspective. You can choose to remain ignorant and sound like an obnoxious scrub (especially on this forum) or do 30 minutes of reading to realize that there is 10 years fresh on the minds of everyone involved in esports. | ||

As to the actual article, it's stupid for any news article to have a bias towards it. It's one thing if it's a column, but a hard news story should not have bias in it. Very unprofessional and I could definitely understand why some would be upset if the hard news article had bias in it instead of strictly reporting the facts like they should. | ||

So, by your logic every player who gets eliminated from Code A deserves to get an article on Korea's #1 search portal, telling them how they've now hit rock bottom? Ok... Let's see, Moon, Maka, Hyperdub, Squirtle, TopClass, finale, Line.... (I could go on). | ||

I was in an intro to neurobio course, and they were talking about this guy called Santiago. I mean, I don't know this dude gets so much attention. I never heard of him until I started taking neurobiology, but there always seems to be a fuss. Forget all his contributions to the field and the past, I mean I can just google this stuff now. In truth, his beard looks gay as hell AND he's dead (dude was born in the 1800's or something, like I care LOL). | ||

I am concerned that he might go for coaching full time or something along those lines. Sure it will make Slayers somewhat stronger ( maybe?) but I will surely miss seeing Boxer play. He is still playing in NASL and hopefully he will regain his confidence there and go really far. I really loved the intensity of his games in the earlier seasons of GSL when the stream would drop out due to people tuning in to watch him. I loved how he gave SC1 legend Yellow a SC2 copy and told him to come to SlayerS :D . I really like how Jessica is so envolved in eSports. I admire his team that he put up and the sick awesome players he raised up from the pits of anonymity. I really admire his passion and his dedication to promoting eSports, playing SC2 and building his team. So hopefully if he reads this he will cheer up, pick up the pieces and start his new journey to CodeS. BOXER HWAAATIIINNGG! :D Jessica Fightiiing too! :D | ||

I truly hope that this journalist never gains popularity and will stay at the bottom of the barrel. I hope that when Boxer wins a GSL, everyone will say: "I told you so". So Journalist, please go and report on SNSD's Tiffany's nail. Nobody wants an incompetent journalist like you writing slander about a man who helped shape SC and, in my opinion, SC2. | ||

This article doesnt even come close to the disrespect level of tons of newspaper articles on real sports out there. But this isn't football, I see no reason to make that comparison in the first place. Anyway, it's a pointless attention-seeking article. Cheap internet "journalism" at it's best. | ||

you guys and hopefully every that has read this article, ignore it. its an article to get attention with the household name "Boxer". it really isn't news worthy. the title isn't "Fall of the Emperor", its "Boxer's GSL Code A Summery". | ||
