That's a bit sad if prevailing Korean opinion is that legendary players retire after they peak. I think 99 percent of the TL community was elated at the prospect of watching yellow play starcraft 2.

The point she is trying to make is so damn important. Fans need to get some stamina and heart to stay with their progamers/teams (even if they surpassed their cenith). I dont care if my favorite zergplayer doesnt win everything, I stick with him.

A personal example: Back in WC3 I was a huge Fan of Axslav. He didnt win much, but damn were his replays fun to watch. He has such a smart rts-brain that I could do any other than admire him. And what about soccer/football/basketball - even the worst teams have their die hard Fans and esport needs the same. And if you dont feel that way - at least show some respect (especially to legends).

As a foreign fan, I honor the Emperor and look forward to his great return. I believe in his perseverance and succes @slayers_jessica

This is what I tweeted, but I will post it here too, just to make sure. Lim Yo-Hwan is a true inspiration for me, and many others with me. That he cares so much about the fans to continue his heavy practice while his shoulder is hurting so much, is painfully amazing.

I hope he will get a chance to heal though, but I couldn't imagine Starcraft without the Emperor.

I am new to eSports having being brought into it by the arrival of SC2. Although I may not fully appreciate BoxeR's historic role in SC1 I always enjoy his games and support him in any tournament he enters. Few other players are so inventive and entertaining with their play. When he wins it is joyful, when he loses it's ok - he will always have done his best to give us an entertaining game.

Code S, Code A, Code B, it isn't important - BoxeR will always have my support and be one of my favourite players <3

Chin up BoxeR!!!

One of Boxer's replays was what got me into playing bw more seriously, it was the tvt on lost temple with ghost cloning. Such an awesome comeback and underutilized ability. After watching some of his replays my 15 year old self stopped thinking that terran sucked... then promptly switched to protoss anyways.

Boxer is amazing. The level of play he is at really is incredible, especially since he is trying to play injured. I mean Code A and Code S are not exactly easy, we are seeing lots of people that are insanely good dropping out of Code A or falling into up/down matches, especially this season.

The way that I, and many others feel, regardless of any outcome, is pretty well displayed after boxer vs guineapig in the GSTL this season, when he went back to his team and they all saluted him out of pure respect.

Boxer is, and always will be, the Emperor.
Lim Yo Hwan hwaiting!

BoxeR is the reason I played Terran in BW. I wish I could say the same for Sc2, but still it was great to see him in GTSL, and Code A is hard anyways. Gogo Emperor and get back on your feet and get back into Code A. Everytime you play you pave a path for new players

I was really nervous the first time I met Boxer. He's not just a great player, but also represents the very best in esports. He's got the dedication, enthusiasm, skill, and attitude towards the game and the industry that we all aspire to in my opinion.

He's also an incredibly nice person and always takes time for his fans.

Without Boxer, my Brood war copy would be sitting in a desk collecting dust. I still suck really badly, but thanks to Boxer, he gave me enough spirit at least try and play XD.

You create a thread bashing people who don't exist around here.

All this is is a chance for Boxer fans to circlejerk with each other about how much they agree with each other's opinion.

This should definitely be in blogs, the discussion here is non-existent.

gtfo. if you read most of our posts, it isn't about bashing, it is about encouraging and simply showing our support for Lim Yo Hwan. gtfo.

Boxer has always been a great inspiration to ESPORTS in general. He has done so much for this game.

Trust me when I say that SlayerS Clan know about TL.
This forum is more important than you give yourselves credit for.

When she first approached me about translations, she specifically asked for articles to be posted on TL. The articles she selects have been directly related to the comments and posts that were left in previous ones and she's mentioned specific comments before.

I personally feel that they trust you guys in here.
This is probably why she tweeted her speech instead of having it posted here.

Interesting though. If YellOw is being put off joining SC2 because of the lack of support Legends are having from the community... and the actual response from TL has been so supportive...
^ not the views of SlayerS. It's just me having a fantasy of a daydream.
