I'd think after the switch he'd feel most comfortable facing vs terran, this could be a really good move for him.

Yeah, we know how the game will play out in HotS, let's base our decisions on that...

This is tabloid level of news/speculations, you can do better than this Slasher.

In the unlikely event BoxeR does switch... I'd rather see him be a Protoss than a Zerg.

What did the SC BW pros do when their race was UP? They kept playing until they had a play or strat perfected which allowed them to beat the new meta-game or whatever. Why is this an exception? Have we past the threshold where we're being spoon fed by Blizzard now? We just give up instead of trying to be innovative?

I kinda lost a bit of respect for BoxeR..and not just him. any other pro who complains and just half arse the game because terran are having a hard time. although I do understand it's frustrating since it's their job to do well.

well first and foremost i would be happy about his return no matter what race.

terran needs mvp, terran with flash will be glorious, but boxer is esports, boxer is good for all of sc2.

edited to make sense.

I know BoxeR can perform very well with either of the other two races however it's just sad to think that the emperor who i've watched destroy people with Terran for so many years years in BW and in SC2 might be switching He's the one that got me to play Terran in the first place back in BW. But, whatever he decides will be great and we all know it!

He's not gonna switch. Come on, he's the freakin' Emperor, I'm sure this is just subtle balance whine.

It's frustrating for Terran but they're still having most players in Code S, more than any race! I hope he says this not because of balance issues that he thinks but because he wants to try just different races.

That bugs me because it's totally from a skewed view on things...
+ Show Spoiler +

i don't understand? there were what, 15 patches tops (balance wise and tweaks like 1.xx a/b/c) in BW total?
Playing terran which gets nerfed all the time after doing just that, "being innovative", is pretty depressing, demoralizing. And spoon-fed? Terran has been nerfed (justifiably and debatably justifiably) since the very first balance patch in SC2 and we've seen some stupid buffs on the other end (trivial upgrade buff translates to "GEE protosses should get upgrades more", 5range queen says "build queens, acquire early-game advantage"). We see no such nudges on the Terran end - most everything that has been popular has been executed with what they were given, debatably better off than the other races but hey, your point was that Terrans haven't been innovative and i'm going to say what the fuck man.


And on boxer switching, I don't even know what to think about that.

How many times did the blizzard balancing team fuck things up in BW ?? There was one big patch in 2001 and then that's it. Nothing else changed, there wasn't anyone to force players to play this way or that way, the only thing that affected balance between 2001 and 2012 was the maps. Whenever they patch something, they're actually huting the pros, who play the game to earn their living.
Also boxer actually switched from protoss to terran when they changed the imabalance with reaver shuttle play. You could drop the reaver, it would shoot instantly and then you could pick it up again in the blink of an eye.
The very reason he's that famous is because he was winning with terran when every other pro was either zerg or toss. Some guy actually had an old poster from 2000 - 2001 i think, where there were no terrans at all. I remember seeing HOT forever and garimto on it; not sure tho.
