"Professional poker player". Yeah right, pretty face for a company and a big loser in games is my guess.


He's sponsored. There's no need to put it in quotations. He is being paid to play poker. By definition he's a professional. So edgy tho.

Well after being a professional poker player for maybe 7-8 years I can tell you that no winning player would call him a "professional poker player". Maybe something like a mascot for a football team, he get's paid also but isn't a professional football player, even if he kicks the ball in the half-time. Also see Kiwikaki's post.

Who knows, he might still play Starcraft/Starcraft 2 part-time, it didn't say he's going to be a full-time professional poker player or saying he's out of Starcraft for good.

He's been out of Starcraft the moment he stepped down from coaching SKT. His shoulder injury means Starcraft isn't a realistic career choice anymore, especially with its declining popularity in Korea.

So he's left SKT1 as head coach? Regardless of whether he left progaming for good, I'm happy BoxeR found something he can enjoy and find his passion in, even though it may not be e-Sports. Wish the best of luck to him, and for him to be the Emperor of Poker.

Wow I'm surprised, I thought gambling in general in Korea was a huge no-no in their culture.

He could still coach part-time, just that it's not going to be a full time coaching career.

Considering that fact that none of the bonjwas have actually left the Starcraft/Starcraft 2 scene.

Current Bonjwas:

iloveoov: SKT Starcraft 2 Coach
NaDa: AZUBU Starcraft 2 Coach
Flash: Plays Starcraft 2
saviOr: Plays Starcraft Brood War
Boxer: Plays Starcraft 2 Poker

I love Blizzard's stuff and Korea ~ <3

NaDa plays World of Tanks last I saw. I dunno if he is still doing coaching on Azubu.

Wow hope he becomes the Emperor of Spades or something along those lines :D GLHF BoxeR... your work within the eSports community will definitely remain in those who have witnessed it! Not to mention his "son" MMA is still playing.

I'm pretty sure NaDa doesn't play anymore. He's in the army or playing something else afaik

I am happy to see Boxer move on to a new chapter in his life, and I think it will be really good for him to try something new.
