You allmost allways see new funky stuff like the depot wall at the tower on terminus. That is why SlayerSBoxer must play! I'd fix that: SlayerS_BoxeR may not be the best SC2 player, but he definitely is the best progamer. He's not a legend only because he's shown great play, but because of what he means to e-sports. Haters gonna hate... GO BOXER!! | ||

It's sad to see people forget what he has done in the past so easily just because of afew games. Unfortunately this is the reason alot of people say it's a bad idea to transfer to another game after you "retire", If you don't live up to your expectations people forget the past, so really you have to respect him even for coming to SC2 and trying to make it as successful as SC1 and paving the way for esports in the future. I'll always support him when he plays. | ||

His reputation in the scene was immediately enough to gain my respect but getting to watch him play has been, and will always be, a highlight of watching Starcraft. Whether it's in the GSL, TSL, NASL and whether he's winning or losing; i'll support him because he's an awesome player and ambassador for the Starcraft scene. | ||

Back when I first gotten into Starcraft 2 on release and Team Liquid I have occasionally been seeing mentions of a certain player that has been catching my eye over and over as I browse the forums and playing my games, this person was always referred to with a tone of inspiration and admiration towards him, like he was some sort of a god amongst Starcraft players, or rather, an Emperor  Then as my days go by and GSL Opens began I ended up catching a forum post by a certain commentator we all know and love about a replay featuring our well known Idra facing off against a player known as ManofOneway, but he was constantly being referred to as Boxer. I was intrigued for I had recognized the name but could not quite place where I seen it, still having only been browsing the forums for a few months as I watched the match on Xel'Naga Caverns, listening as the commentator described the Terran player in all of his accomplishments, being a champion at many tournaments, having created a team of his own and played in televised matches. Much of what he was saying though was pretty much going over my head, and didn't really understand, but I read the tone of how he was praising this this terran player and my interest grew watching the game saw quite unique play and unusual strategies, small marine groups were harassing far away hatcheries, Siege tanks resting on top of cliffs the zerg ground army could not reach, blasting away at the zerg to limit Idra's mobility, even employing SCVs and missile turrets just to fortify the unusual positioning, I have seen similar things when Lost Temple was a tournament map, but these plays were far more different and with that game I saw further potential with what Starcraft 2 can be like in the future. GSL Open Season 2 comes around and for the first time I get to finally put a face to the name Boxer. The rumors of his return have been everywhere up to this point and with the announcement of his being place into the GSL and playing against another Terran, I sat and watched, the crowd was the loudest I have heard it before from watching previous matches as the name Boxer was called, it was like a hero has returned from his long crusade away from his home land, and simply put the excitement and support for this player was infectious, as I myself became a fan watching him employing an aggressive 3 marine and SCV play in game 1, and stacking vikings on top of each other that we now know as the viking flower, the first 2 official matches of Boxer playing and already he has done things we have not seen before. The Emperor as everyone knew it has returned to us Even though his run ended just one round short of the finals in season 2 I had became a fan, so intrigued of the story behind Boxer and watched all the matches I could. But of course the success of Boxer didn't stop there and just shortly after the end of the open seasons Boxer forms his own personal team and I watched as after two short team leagues these Slayers ended up taking their first title as champions. Now, I finally was starting to understand all the achievements behind the Emperor , and I was becoming a massive fan, and what seemed like only a day afterwards, Boxer had driven these champions to take their second straight GSTL title. It didn't stop there, even then our beloved Emperor had continued to strive for greatness not just in GSL but even competing in our own TSL and NASL tournaments, showing some of the greatest games yet, he was the first to employ macro and mass command centers, has played intense series with some of our best foreigners and making the top 8 in TSL, and having a chance to win it all in the NASL after yet more amazing games getting there. To Boxer and Jessica as well I want to thank you for all the inspiration you have given me. Watching your games have help inspired me to continue to try to compete as a striving gamer, trying hard to make it up in the ranks to some day soon hopefully appear up in the top tournaments. Your unique play from the first replay I saw helped me to see the true potential and skill involved in starcraft 2, and your continuous innovation has started to be applied to all other players as this great game continue to grow. While you are discouraged after your loss and the comments people have been giving you, you are already changing this game for the better as you have been leading the way despite not winning GSLs, I do not doubt you can make a return into code A, and you are still well on your way to win a tournament almost as important. The love and inspiration of your fans have not died, and I have my own personal dream despite how unlikely to somehow become a member of Slayers if my skill and potential can ever be good enough. Continue giving your all Boxer, I personally am eagerly looking forward to seeing you play in the NASL, any losses you have taken means nothing to me, I look forward only to see you play the game you love and to see you show you can win tournaments, as I am nearing 27 now almost, and really the stereotype that I have heard is that is considered too old to start being a progamer, but with your play and games that hasn't stopped me yet. | ||

We all know that competitive gaming is an extreme world; even the best and the greatest cannot stay on top forever. Despite that, I'll keep cheering for Boxer and I'll keep NOT caring about his results. Anyway he's the Emperor and will always be, there's no other way around. Kind of like a living legend. YEAH. Also may I say that I hate journalists. fucking vultures | ||
