Boxer please don`t leave E-sport.
E-sport would not be here right now if you weren't part of it.

Well, no better replacement though. Sad to see Boxer step down.

thats true, i wouldnt take zerg advice from boxer. maybe he will continue on as an assistant coach for terrans.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

he stepped down as head coach but wasn't his position promoted to Director of eSports at SKT or something? Maybe he will still be in that position and manage the team but oov will do the coaching.

So the protege takes over the master, and the master goes into hermit and train his mind and soul, comes back 5 years later and wins everything

How come people say Oov will be better coach? Didn't he just return from military service? Was he ever a coach before?

I wonder if this means he will retire or if he will stay with SKT in some form. Player? Probably not. Sub-coach? That'd be nice.

Still, if anyone should replace him, it should be either oov or coach Park. Will be really interesting to see what oov can do as head coach.

He kinda invented at the least 3 macro builds for terran including Fantasy build when he was the coach. Also, Boxer probably did not survive the burden of being head coach IMO.

All hail our new Gorilla Overlord.

I don't see why though SKT1 got fourth in proleague which is pretty good and their players are doing well it seems silly to call him a "bad coach" I have no idea about his coaching in BW though.

also a couple of interesting tweets from huk


From what conversations I remember with boxer. He was initially suppose to only be the terran coach for SKT.





After some time he was suppose to coach all members, which he said was really hard for him; to much. He said it was a big burden on him.


That would make sense. In most sports you have different coaches for different roles. For instance, football teams will usually have specific goalkeeping coaches, since their training is vastly different to outfield players. I doubt the money is there for a team to have full-time Protoss, Zerg and Terran coaches, though...


If it's only because of workload then Oov coming back to assist him will be the best Boxer can hope for, so why not stay? On the other hand, if this is indeed about workload and Oov comes back then single handedly turn SKT around, what does this say about Boxer as a head coach? I don't see any other coach being hired so it's obvious that the management think 2 coach is enough.

I guess it really depend on how serious is this "unspecified health issue" really is. But with the wording/timing of Oov announcement(why not just tell us he is replacing Boxer if you are gonna to announce it a few days later?) I highly doubt that the health issue is the main reason for his departure. Also look how short the retirement announcement is, FFS this is Slayers_Boxer we are talking about, there should be a huge farewell party hosted by the heads of Esport and Yellow.
