It would be interesting and he's not exactly in his prime, so a race change might be a nice option for him.

I REALLY can't see him playing Zerg though, that would just be too weird.

This would be an unusual sight to see. I guess if not terran I would prefer to see him as toss. In the meantime I'll just cross my fingers and hope its just high profile balance whine.

I doubt he will switch. He has been given the title Emperor of Terran, not fucking Emperor of Toss or Zerg

I don't see much of a problem with the Emperor switching to a race that fits his style and comfortability more than Terran. As long as we see more of Boxer, I'm a happy person. But it does seem strange seeing the player who basically made Terran the race it is today switch, when his name is synonymous with Terran :/

He started playing starcraft as protoss, check your facts >_>

Yeah but he was the first Terran legend. Just because he was originally Protoss doesn't mean he wasn't the original Terran.

This is just tactical from Boxer, he wants Blizzard to buff Terran so his butbuddy MMA can come back into code S. THATS TRUTH

Switching would actually be a really good idea for him at this point in his career. The other races are a lot less demanding, especially on the highest level. As long as MKP doesn't switch, Blizzard will keep nerfing Terran.

I'd say he should do zerg. My Grandma beat my Terran with Zerg last night, and she's been dead for a year.

Are you fucking retarded? What are the "good stuff" that Terran has got lately?

It pisses me off when protosses and zergs are telling Terrans to "give it a little time" and/or figure out a new strategy. Nobody ever told zergs to adapt thier strategy to the ghost in TvZ late game. You just started complaining about it and ghost was nerfed. Same with protosses complaining about the emp radius. Terran complain about storm but blizzard isn't doing shit.

That's a tad grim--what happened to Boxer's competitive spirit? I still remember he chose Terran in BW because it was perceived to be the weakest race and he wanted to show everyone how strong it could be.

Slayers, Prime, MVP - the last bastions of hope for Terran.
Whether or not this is high profile balance whine, it does show the current state for Terran players.

Unfortunately the situation in HOTS doesn't bring much hope either. Terrans get a few A-Move factory units, and a Widow Mine that seems too much of a hit or a miss type of gimmick.
Zergs get Stimmed movement Hydras, Vipers - Defiler v2. Protoss addresses some issues with harassment.

Hmm, so if he switches, can we start calling him the Executor or the Overmind?
