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. It doesnt say he's leaving, just stepping down from being head coach I think. | ||

Possible that head management wasn't too happy about that even though they actually went down to the wire with STX and could've won the series(lost 4-3 both if I recall). Either way, best of luck to Boxer! I doubt he'll leave esports seeing how it's his life but who knows lol Yea~, I remember they make it to Ace match. But Fantasy and Rain didnt manage to beat Innovation in 2 days. Does it happen this way? I cannot remember... I only remember one ace match Fantasy do proxy starport and his full medivac get stopped by widowmine and fail. Did Rain go for 2nd day ace match? Or is it fantasy again? Or there is only 1 ace match? Anyway, IloveOOV has big impact memories in my mind somehow. His expression during clutch moment. And oso those build named after him. And all those jokes+comments about Fantasy crown prince needing OOV and BoxeR. So I am hyped to see how he will influence the whole team | ||

Rain vs Innovation on Neo Planet S. Rain tried to go with an oracle opener but it didn't work | ||

I don't think that's a very good analogy because if it hadn't have been for internet posts I probably wouldn't know who Babe Ruth is either. I mean if you don't follow SC:BW at the time or even up until a few years ago there's a high chance of not having any idea who oov is. I luckily always knew him as SKT's coach, but it's understandable if you're new to the scene you wouldn't know him. | ||

But in any case, he's most certainly above July, bisu, stork, jangbi in the all time rankings, and comparable to non-disgraced savior and jaedong | ||

Oov is both a player and a coach. | ||

Honestly I think this is a good decision for SKT. Iirc Boxer wasn't handling the situation the best way and I got the impression that he should have stepped in at the slayers drama earlier and more decisive. I therefore think Boxer isn't the best choice as a head coach making difficult decisions and such. But slayers BFH builds were awesome E: On September 27 2013 03:48 LamaMitHut wrote: wasn´t iloveoov a wc3 player? I think you mean FoV. | ||

Hopefully BoxeR's heart is still in SC2. If it is then we could yet see the return of the Emperor in some form or another, whether it be as a player or as a coach, of either a well known team or a pet project of his own, and even regardless if he does something none SC2 related, I will always cheer for and support our beloved terran Emperor. | ||

I thought Ruth is some beautiful Babe every1 noe about. Then I google it... | ||
