ROFL. that was a good one. for the 5% chance that this was not a joke: so what is your point of your post? show people you are a inmature dude?
He is just showing what he loves and giving in unconditional support to his idol. While u, are just trying to make urself look "different from others", like a "stand out guy" in a bunch of boxer fans here.
Life sometimes will be too boring if you are being too rational, you just need to love who/what u love, and protect them from the haters.
Give me five Faurus! Boxers Fighting!!!
so basic this is a "give love" thread? Than im wrong here, i was thinking its about a discussion over the op. Its really annoying that everyone who say something you don't like is a "hater". What a black- white world. I like boxer for many years but i think its total ok if some korean journalist thinks hes not good any more. Its his opinion and its his job to publish this. If you agree with him or not there is no reason the to make this "Stand up against the hater thing." You might be right. I come here to show a different way to handle such things, for a) show that not everyone on tl have such a fanboy attitude and b) let the people think over the op and not just write "boxer fighting!!!"

And that person would be me. My bad, the real post is here.
Conversely, how much shit do you need to know if an actress who probably receives death threats from crazy netizens in korea on a normal day to day basis has to say this?
Besides, wouldn't her reactions be enough for 'real information'?
thx for the link. why is it not in the op?
PS: i think it will help boxer more when he just stop care so much about a random quote from a random guy...
Nah, what's actually annoying is when you come in with your chin raised, looking disparagingly at all the "mindless BoxeR fanboys" as you perceive yourself as superior. Don't know if you understand how to empathize, but BoxeR is actually only human. And a dumb article spewing BS about his "downfall" would certainly annoy him. Just because he's a big e-Sports star doesn't mean that he has to stoically remain unaffected by stupid shit that journalists say about him. He's incredibly passionate and cares a ton about his fans, so of course the article probably bothered him a bit considering he hasn't been performing as well as he's been wanting to. And all his fans are doing is encouraging him, since he's said on many an occasion that his fans are a huge part of his inspiration. Thus, your stupid "Superior, objective free thinker above the black-and-white moral simplicity of mindless fanboys" act is actually just annoying.
BoxeR is amazing. He managed to create a scene that doesn't just offer compelling games, but also a compelling story. I care so much more about SlayerS than I do about any other team, even though there are many players that I like more individually than the players on SlayerS. There is just an air of excitement that makes me care when I watch the game rather than just saying "Oh gee, that was a really swell match. Next."

Would an article about Fruitdealer's downfall spark as much controversy? Nope, because he doesn't have that many fanboys. I don't get why people can't separate one's playing ability with persona. There was nothing stupid about that article for a reasonable person.

Boxer can't be compared to Fruitdealer, Boxer has an image and has cemented his place in esports history and the article was not just an insult to Boxer but an insult to what esports is this day because of Boxer, the reporter clearly doesn't know a jack shit about the community and esports history, if he did he wouldn't write crap like that.

The article had nothing to do with his image but purely with his lack of success as a player. Like I said, people can't separate his persona with him as a pro player. That's the definition of fanboism.
He lost to asdfou in his best match up by getting outmicroed, outsmarted and out game sensed, which are boxer's best qualities. "Fortunately" he got a ticket to MLG, because he wouldn't qualify from code b anytime soon. I sincerely respect him for what he did for e-sports but I don't want to see him as a player. As a player, his days of glory are long gone.
If Boxer only had one arm and 10 APM I'd still cheer for him. No matter what league he's in or what his results are, I'll always enjoy watching his games the most, and I'll always look up to him.

i agree with you that the reported is entitled to his opinion, but why do you have a problem with boxer's fans putting forth THEIR opinions/support for him? just as reporters are entitled to bash boxer, his fans are entitled to support him when this happens. negative, nonconstructive criticism can really effect people emotionally and so a show of support like this can be a very helpful, even necessary, thing.
it's easy to get down, especially after a bad game/series or two (i know my defeats feel crushing), so try to remember that you DO have the support of the majority of the gaming community.

Took you quite a while to realize that if the op himself says: "Well i'm really starting to ramble here, so once again, TL;DR: Please post something encouraging for him! I don't care if he doesn't pop back up into Code S, but I think he deserves at least a small degree of comfort from not only his fans, but the e-sports community in general. HWAITING!"

Just because he's a big e-Sports star doesn't mean that he has to stoically remain unaffected by stupid shit that journalists say about him. He's incredibly passionate and cares a ton about his fans, so of course the article probably bothered him a bit considering he hasn't been performing as well as he's been wanting to. And all his fans are doing is encouraging him, since he's said on many an occasion that his fans are a huge part of his inspiration. Thus, your stupid "Superior, objective free thinker above the black-and-white moral simplicity of mindless fanboys" act is actually just annoying.
Would an article about Fruitdealer's downfall spark as much controversy? Nope, because he doesn't have that many fanboys. I don't get why people can't separate one's playing ability with persona. There was nothing stupid about that article for a reasonable person.
Boxer can't be compared to Fruitdealer, Boxer has an image and has cemented his place in esports history and the article was not just an insult to Boxer but an insult to what esports is this day because of Boxer, the reporter clearly doesn't know a jack shit about the community and esports history, if he did he wouldn't write crap like that.
The article had nothing to do with his image but purely with his lack of success as a player. Like I said, people can't separate his persona with him as a pro player. That's the definition of fanboism.
The article was supposedly slanderous in nature. It wasn't saying "Lim yo-hwan drops to code B" it was saying "Lim Yo Hwan drops to hell, the emperor never to come back?" and the rest of the article went on to sensationalise his losses and badmouth him.
It's one thing to say "he fell to code b" its another to say "he's in hell, and deserves to stay there". You could probably infer from Jessica's tweets that what he said was really hurtful and bordering on slanderous (I can't seem to find the translation that uses that word specifically, but if you'd like to trawl through the original article here it might be there), but hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I don't think esports would be what it is today without Boxer, so comparing him to TFD would be (IMO) invalid.
Even if they're currently not the best players in the world, they are entertaining to watch and can be pretty big exhibitionists when it comes to tournament play. You will see some of the most entertaining, inventive and varied play from them.
Hell.... that reminds me of the sort of thing players like TLO would do in a tournament game, just unleash nukes on top of an offensive push.
