BoxeR will go down as the best eSports player/figure ever whether or not he performs well in sc2 and because of that he should get every single starcraft player's support. Look at all hes done for eSports compared to the FPS "so-so" equivalent fatal1ty.

If you look at any sport anywhere in the world you'll probably find very similar behavior. There are people out there that thrive on the negative, and want to bring everyone down to their level. It sounds naive, but the best way to deal with them is to ignore them.

Oh man, this is what I wanted to say. Boxer is a champ... He doesn't deserve crap from some A-hole 'reporter'.

BoxeR will always be my Emperor.. no one else will ever replace him. All these upcoming Terran.. MMA, MKP, MVP, Bomber, TOP, sC, etc etc.... they are no way close to what the Emperor has brought to StarCraft. Once an Emperor, always an Emperor!

Anyone who insults Boxer's contribution to SC2 by talking about his lackluster performance in GSL is a complete idiot. SlayerS, much?

I wouldn't mind it at all if Boxer stopped playing competitively and would focus on being a coach / mentor for SlayerS - it is obvious that he is indeed past his prime, and with his shoulder issues, it'd be horrible if he suffered more serious damage because of this game. That said, he is still usually a treat to watch, and he's shown us plenty of brilliant games.

He is also by far the most influential figure in the Starcraft / Starcraft 2 scene, and he will never, ever 'fall'. It's ridiculous that people dare to write nonsense like that article about a guy who's had the longest career of any other progamer to ever exist, not just longest, but FAR longest - how many pros out there remain competitive for more than 2-3 years? and it's been what, soon 10 for Boxer? Nevermind all his accomplishments outside of direct tournament results...

In the end, Boxer will always be the Emperor, and I doubt there will ever be anyone to match what he did for this scene.

Whether or not he's performing well he's still the god of e-sports and should always be remembered as such. Long live BoxeR!

BoxeR is amazing, he's a hero regardless of his tournament results or what people say about him.

I had been in a playing slump, just sitting around doing not much of anything watching streams and going through liquipedia. I stumble on Boxers page and see a link to a translation of his autobiography. This should be a prerequisite for anyone interested in e-sports.

Since powering through and reading it in an afternoon, (It's short by book standards but a great read), I got the urge to ladder and have since then jumped from playing low bronze players to high gold in a matter of a week.

Very inspirational and very hard working, Boxer can do anything he sets his mind too and he shows everyone that they can too!

I still don't understand why those reporters would jump on him like that, Yes he lost and now he's in code b but still this is SlayerS BoxeR the man who pioneered eSports to what it is today, show some respect to the people who deserve it.

SlayerS BoxeR Fighting!
