Even though I don't really like SKT, I hope Oov + Boxer would somehow find a way to make mech in TvP somewhat viable like they did with mech in BW TvZ and pass it on to Fantasy. | ||

Nah, it's all good, I was annoyed at something else that was going on and this just triggered me. I shouldn't get caught up in the flurry of the rage of an internet forum. :D anyways <3 oov. Even though he's back, KT MagicNs forever! (KT Rollster for the lot of you new folk :D) | ||

What I am wondering is what does this mean for Boxer? IMHO it's unlikely that Boxer personally campaigned for Oov's return. I mean Boxer was suppose to be the magic pill that will solidify SKT's dominance in PL and that has failed to materialized. And for Boxer to play a big part of Oov's return during a time of funding cuts and sub-par performance is simply career suicide. If Oov come back and SKT start doing well again, it's likely that public will contribute the resurgence to Oov's coaching rather than Boxer-Oov chemistry. But if Oov fails to make a different then Boxer as the head coach will still take most of the blame. I think this is a upper management decision and it might be a sign that they are not happy with Boxer's result. One way to make someone quit out without firing them is to 'bring in someone to help you even when there is not enough work to justify it'. They did it to Coach Park. | ||

While this sounds pretty reasonable I don't think thats really what happened here. Keep in mind that oov only ever left due to having to do military, so I could imagine that when oov left they made a contract to ensure his return at the end of his service. Also they told Park to go coach lol, which is why he decided to leave. | ||

What would make you think that? Because I'm not the only one who thinks that way? Come on now. I had similar remarks for Coach Park and how everyone jumped on the hype wagon. Does having good coaches help? Of course it does, in fact I was one of the first guys to recommend EG hire a coach when it was clear their players needed direction. Not once; not twice but several times. They technically did that when they brought in trOt and the atmosphere did change. Coaching is a small part of the bigger picture because at the end of the day it's still up to the players to respond to what you're trying to do. It's all about the players and not everyone is going to respond to your methods (especially RTS gamers who I find a very stubborn bunch-- I know this from coaching a lot of them during BW). At the end of the day it's about respect and surely the SK T1 players respect BoxeR and oov. These guys are the prominent figures of the SK T1 brand; the very foundation the team was built upon. The more experience the better. With that said, iloveoov is not only out of practice but I have a hard time believing this is your guy who will take the players to the next level when the players on their roster have a better understanding of the game. It's not like oov wasn't a coach for them before because he was and yet people to this day still give more credit to Coach Park based on the interviews for when they did win PL because he was the head hancho. At the end of the day, T1 are still in a great position to win PL because they already had a good roster. The team is always in contention. If there is something they're lacking and always have been lacking it's a really good Zerg (yes, I know they have soO -_-). T1 used to be known for their Terrans, but nowadays they can rely on PartinG, Rain, Classic and Fantasy to do the heavy lifting. That Protoss line-up is as good as any atm and it's great when you have guys who sort of know what they're doing already. It makes it much, much easier to manage them anyway. | ||
