I believe he'll get there again, I do.

And in the case that he doesn't, so what?

He's done so much for e-Sports. Just being able to see him play has been great.

I love watching Boxer play. He might not win every game, and he might not even win most of his games but his control, micro and ways he REALLY uses the map is second to none. IMO so many players just take a random map at face value, just for aesthetics and how easy it is to defend your ramp/etc. Boxer takes that a step further, how many of you weren't like "WTF???" when he did that back drop on Tal'darim? Or the supply depot trick on Terminus? His proxy rax is always in the perfect spot, his sim city is actually thought out and not improvised, etc etc.

This separates him from most other players and makes Boxer, Boxer.

BTW it was Boxer's lockdown move (7 ghosts vs 9 bcs?) that made me start practicing BW a lot more, I didn't realize how much depth the game really had.

Boxer may not be the top ranked player in the world anymore, but I get more excitement out of seeing him play then anyone else in the world. Games are just special when hes playing, like watching Michael Jordan late in his career. He's still capable of pulling off great things, and when he does you get the feeling of nostalgia that can't be compared.

exactly. boxer does not need to prove himself. even his achievements in SC2 are pretty decent I guess, a top 4 GSL finish (maybe a bronze) is not something that many people can claim. he's just a little inconsistent, but since when has his trademark been consistency? It has always been brilliant play, either prepared or on the spur of the moment. But obviously you cannot show that every game.

Starcraft NEEDS boxer. He is the major reason why I even watch GSL. Cool tricks, really intelligent strategies.

I hope when BoxeR comes back, he takes Yellow with him to join SlayerS. This will motivate both of them to excel and show everyone why they were legends in BW.

i agree with most of the people here. boxer isn't as good as he was but hes still one of my favorites to watch. I'll always watch his games. He does some really cool strats. Not only is he a legend, he is a class act

We love you , for all you have done for this amazing game.

If it wasn't for you, i would have never appreciated the true skill that this game took.

And from there on i was hooked watching you play with those marines in such fashion.

Stay positive and stay strong !!!

LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR

I would LOVE to see BoxeR back on top of the Starcraft world, where the one true emperor belongs.

I did not watch Broodwar when he played it, but I am still a massive boxer fanboy.

How the fuck do you hate on Boxer? He's put together one of the best SC2 teams while still being a very good player. He'll be back in Code A soon enough, maybe back to Code S. Journalists should report, not make stupid judgments on people that don't deserve it in any way.
