But it is really incredible the number of ex BW and SC2 players that have fled to poker. There are really alot of similarities between starcraft and poker imho, both need agressivity, being able to read your oponent (in starcraft, not only scouting but also being able to cheese your oponent on theright map in a boX), and mental strenght (even if you are not in a good position, you have to think that you can always come back) I hope to see Boxer in pro tournaments. I would also love to see a poker tourney with ex RTS players, even though I would give an edge to ElkY! | ||

Not that much of a stretch, considering he's been a poster boy for other games in the past (even when he was still playing SC2, he was promoting other games). At least this one he can actually try making a career out of it. | ||

At least this one he can actually try making a career out of it. The main model thing kinda throws me off. I know Korean malls and companies hire "celebrities" to be a part of the "attraction" to the products. Is he going to be a professional poker player or be the face of this company's marketing? Smells more like he is doing this as a side job, which he needs to promote through other activities. I can't see him a serious contender at world series at Vegas, but he shouldn't have trouble making headlines in the Korean media. | ||
