Boxer, you've improved so much in starcraft 2 since you started playing on tv, you have an aura that emanates from you that is reeks of hard work and emperor-status. You are the best and such a motivational player to watch, SlayerS_BoxeR fighting~~

I cheer for Boxer, but how is it wrong to say the emperor is in decline? he's not what he used to be. Point that it. Did the reporter go on and INSULT boxer? or just say hes playing bad these days?

If I keep getting C and D in my report card after several years of A+, will i be insulted if somebody said im becoming bad? no its the truth...

there is a difference between saying that boxer is on a decline and saying that he is pcbang level

Whether or not he's playing well, he's still recruited and built one of best sc2 teams in an astoundingly short time

Boxer is the Ray Charles of SC2, he is and has been doing things that have never been done in E-Sports business before, all while staying as an active player. If he slips for one season, chill out he will be back and be scary!

BOXER FIGHTING!

After a day or so, I will personally pass this on to both Cella and SlayerS Jessica (unless someone else did and I missed it in a previous post.)

I only started following the scene since sc2, but even I know that without boxer there would be no esports in korea and therefore there would be no teamliquid. Boxer laid the foundation for esports with his bare hands one brick at a time while carrying an entire generation of hopeful progamers on his back.

the more people pass it to them the higher are the chances that boxer or kim kayeon will actually read this

Boxer; The only person who I could watch cheese every game he played from now till the end of his life, and still not think he was cheesy.
What a legend.

I'd cry for Boxer too..... except I know how a champions mind works.

This is motivation, he'll be back!

Ignore the haters, Boxer is a legend! I love seeing him play. But I hope he gets his shoulder treated and doesn't make his injury worse by playing too much... I'd rather see him stay healthy.

It's funny how sometimes people who are the most revered of all just don't seem to realize it. Granted those tweets were not from his mouth but from the amout of effort she put into it I'm sure that reflects on how he feels. Boxer... If you ever get a chance to read this post, You revived my interest in brood war, and because of all the time I spent watching old youtube casters and watching your games (as well as all the other pros at the time) made me choose Korea when I travelled to teach english in Asia.

You're an inspiring person and clearly you should not listen to people who don't think so. They don't know what they're talking about. Also there are tens of thousands of foreign fans who love you as I'm sure you realized at Blizzcon. Think positively and I know you'll be back!

Who cares if he dropped to Code B, he probably plays less than 3 hours a day.

GOGO WOAH Boxer!!11!1!!! I'll allways remember that game on Blue Storm, where it was a failed BBS and everyone was face-palming "why doesn't he leave already? why is he building all his buildings out in the middle of the map?" but then it transitioned beautifuly into a super massive contain that won him the game. That there is the Emperor, never give up!

BoxeR, while I've only been getting involved in E-Sports you have taught me the importance of hard-work and passion in SC in general and taught me the BST needed to become pro, my ultimate dream! Keep playing and show these hater's who the Emperor is. BoxeR hwaiting~~!

Okay. So the guy becomes a household name in SC:BW, starts his own team... builds the team into a type of empire, then goes and does the same in SC2.

SlayerS_Boxer is a hero, and should be treated like such.

I believe in Boxer, I'm sure he'll come back, but I think he'll dwell in the Code Aish, up/downish land. The new players are just better, faster, more daring, and more creative than boxer. On top of that he has all his health issues.

It's sad, like watching TLO battle his issues. I know how hard it can be to do anything well when it just causes you pain. He really needs to take some time off, get away for a couple months and properly heal. Then we can see the real Boxer.

Boxer fighting!

Edit: I also watched Ga Yeon posting all that stuff on twitter, spamming f5 to see what she wrote next. Good on her. Boxer is a legend and should garner the respect one deserves. What they've done with slayers has also been nothing short of amazing. SlayerS_Jessica fighting! You did the right thing!

He has to do the coaching for his team, to expect results from him personally AND the team too is too much to expect from anyone.

Haters gonna hate. Seriously that's it.

The SC2 scene, American/Korean/World REALLY needs to ditch the "the player is in a slump" just because they haven't won a big tourney in the past 30-45 days bullshit, it's old and it's stupid. He's ran into a small road block, he'll get past it like before and be back to performing. Not because he's being heckled by no name reporters, but because that is what he does.

It's really apparent now that people who are watching SC, either Korean or anywhere else in the world only have a 1-2 month tops memory. There are 64 Code A/S players, 50 people in NASL, Hundreds in DH, dozens of teams, more than a dozen are "good" tons of MLG Competition + other tourneys.

Even if a different person wins every single one of those tournaments the damn idiots like this reporter, and the other ones saying incontrol, gracket, whitera or tyler are in a slump will still say it. No wonder the pros don't respond to most of this, it's frickin garbage. Not everyone can win, not everyone can place, it's competition. There isn't a tied for first second or third option, and in some cases people do finals placements up to 10, someone has to be a loser eventually. In a Bo1/3 it's crazy for someone to not think how fast it is to fall from Code S to A.
