The tone is somewhat insulting, which is why SlayerS_Jessica is mad as hell. For e.g.: Para 1 of the article: You can't imagine this happening. Boxer, at one time a player in SC1 and SC2, has fallen to Code B PC cafe level standards. Para 2 of the article: At GSL July Code A, Boxer couldn't find his face against a relative unknown player** and fell 2-0 (direct translation is blunter: lost 2-0 without strength collapsed). [Something about tasting defeat]. The rest of the article is about the games themselves. Edit: apparently SlayerS_Jessica is avoiding tweeting in English in case Boxer's foreign fans laugh at him? Tweet here. Extract: + Show Spoiler + 이런 기사를 쓰니 이스포츠가 스포츠대접을 못받아요. 어느 종목의스포츠 기사에 사심을넣어서 경기결과를 알려쥽디까! 스포츠기자로서의자질이 있는건지....혹시 가쉽기사 쓸려다가 클릭수 획득할려고 임요환 물었음? 감정컨트롤 안되네 징짜..내가 트윗에 영어로 안쓰는건 정말 당신이 쓴 기사 보고 해외팬들이 웃을까봐 안쓰요.. 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. **Edit 3: goddamn my Korean sucks bad. OK, so on second reading, this sentence actually looks like its saying Boxer lost against smarter play by his opponent. I will now shut the hell up and stop sowing confusion. translation of jessica's tweet: Because of articles (news) like these, esports do not get the same level of respect as other sports. What kind of sport puts emotion into their articles to tell the story? Don't know if the reporter has the right to be a 'sports reporter'... Did you bite (choose, negative connotation) Boxer's story so you can write a gossip article and get clicks (online article)? I can't control my emotions... I'm not tweeting in English so that foreign fans don't laugh at your article | ||

Anyone think that despite the Empress' idea that the foreign fans don't laugh at the article, we really should show our solidarity with Boxer and each write an e-mail supporting Boxer to this article writer? Let him know that not even biting articles against a man's honor can take away the respect that Boxer has earned over the years? That he's wrong and that Boxer's performance in other leagues show that he's still got it? | ||

Read from bottom to top, like Twitter works. She's written in English regarding the issue, and she is evidently incredibly upset about the entire affair, and from the looks of it so is BoxeR... what the words of one bastard can do. :/ | ||

...The article itself is written by a Code D reporter from a Code C news website that's a failure in Korea. It's like an upgraded version of the Enquirer or the Star Ledger in the United States at best. They have some sports, some celebrity gossip, and then the usual weird stupid news nobody cares about unless they're stuck in traffic and ran out of coffee. All players have their ups&downs and knowing Boxer's training and overall skill set he has the potential to rise again. So no need to worry...Jessica's just worried because people who have no idea what's really the case will read it and judge Boxer which is understandable. But why is a Code D reporter writing terrible news...but I guess it's freedom of speech...so you can write all the garbage you want and waste your time. | ||

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. Sounds like someone needs a lesson in StarCraft Broodwar, if you don't know why this guy commands so much attention. That's like almost being completely ignorant on StarCraft and not knowing who Boxer is.  Seriously though, you should really learn who he is. He may not be as great as he was in the past, but like any influential person, he has raised the bar of eSports many times. It looks like Jessica is just annoyed that the article is so aggressive towards Boxer and that's probably what set her off. Probably nothing more than that. If so, I don't think its justified to say that Boxer should be judged upon his performance just now. Soon enough, I think those in Korea will open up a bit more about how tournaments go about the world now. Slowly but surely. | ||

In boulevard press, often times the journalists invent fitting nick names to describe an especially good or bad performance which sometimes are a lot more insulting than anything in this article. Really, if esports wants to get the same popularity as real sports, sensationlistic newspaper articles should be taken for granted. Ever read english boulevard press when England plays Germany in soccer? Now that shit is bad. This article doesnt even come close to the disrespect level of tons of newspaper articles on real sports out there. 1. This is not a sport. 2. Just because things are a certain way does not mean they SHOULD be that way. If people thought the way you did, slavery would still exist. Thanks for pointing out the obvious though! | ||
