Compared to the year that many other players have had to practice, at best, YellOw will have had a few weeks of practice. I expect to basically see what his raw skill and mechanics are, instead of any sort of refined play. Boxer should trash him but his raw skills will get him far.

Considering that this is only a showmatch, I expect BoxeR to bunker rush in at least one game, then play not-so-serious in another match, then close it out with a serious match if they tie up.

I do recall that these kinds of showmatches tend to have more relaxed rules and play. There was an Intel-sponsored BoxeR vs NaDa 2-match showmatch some months ago, and it mainly consisted of NaDa playing strongly and winning match 1, but screwing around in match 2 and losing that game, all while both players engaged in friendly banter in the chat.

Still.. It would be pretty fucking epic just with a showmatch in SC2 to see how they'd do without any practise in the game

I don't want them to switch either, but it's more because I want to give foreigners a chance to shine ^_^

Yeah, me too. I mean, a complete switch wouldn't excite me that much, but a show match without much preparation would be sick.

Basically he's a zerg player who frequently ended up playing boxer in BW, the record was 30-33 against boxer so the two had a little rivalry in BW. As for the MKP comparisons basically yellow never won a MSL or an OSL despite being extremly popular and considered to be one of the best zergs he often ended up second earning him the nickname king of silver similar to MKP in 2 who's often runner up.

I thought stork was the king of silver?

BO 3 only

Why not BO 5 or 7

Yeah, it could be at least a BO5! Boxer could bunker rush and defeat Yellow 3 times again, just for the lols.

we love you Mr.Chae! Oh and by the way for all of you people out there, yellow has played sc2 before, albeit in a very primitive version of it.

Please play Zerg in the showmatch, Yellow. You must uphold the sacred rivalry between you and Boxer! XD
Also, thanks Mr. Chae for making this happen. =)
