I thought that Boxer was a player/coach with iloveoov during the SKT1 days, no?

It's because Cella's been playing LoL onstream, isn't it? ;_;

He was still a player but by then it was clear he was never going to be sent out so basically a figurehead and he did help oov design some builds for Fantasy.

Seems like a first step slowly going inactive as a player (for Boxers mind) to me. But no doubt he is the best for this job anyway.

Isn't this just for the GSTL? It's not actually fulltime coaching, is it? If it is then there's nothing to have a stroke over, right?

He would have probably been defacto leader/coach of ACE I would have imagined.

As for his SKT duties, he nuked Killer and gave him an autograph later I think. He also played Kong once. He also lsot to ForGG barely.

For some reason I thought this was always the case, what with all the talk of MMA being his protege.

Anyway, awesome all the same.

So what about Cella? Demoted or stepped down on his own? Getting canned cause of his drunken tirades?

Nice to know, every SlayerS players talk about him as their mentor, so he was a coach anyways.

Gl and I hope Boxer kick CodeA and come back at Code S because that is his place!
The Status "Quo" Is just an attemp to stop the change and evolutions of the free minded.

Uhhh this isn't a good thing people. At least not if you're a fan of Boxer the player. Every minute he spends devising strategies for his players, scouting opponents and creating player lineups is less time spent preparing for his own matches. It might or might not be a good thing for SlayerS as a team, but expect Boxer's individual performance to take a dive similar to that of Choya and theWind when they became player-coaches.


This. And he has improved so much recently too...


I think that the significance of this move is that BoxeR will now control who is sent out during the GSTL, if I understand this correctly. That makes sense given that the GSTL will be underway again soon.

So, I wouldn't necessarily interpret this as an announcement of BoxeR taking more of a head coaching role in all regards--that's probably why they're stressing the "playing-coach" phrase, as opposed to just head coach (which I'm pretty sure is how they referred to Cella, even though he still plays in Code A qualifiers and some other tournaments as far as I know).

tl;dr it's just as likely that BoxeR's role will not change at all except that he'll pick who plays during the GSTL.
