Why is everyone so upset? It makes me happy he still wants to be a competitor of any kind, he has a brilliant mind but unfortunately Starcraft is largely a young mans game mechanics wise.

it is very hard for koreans to succeed at poker though because very few of them speaks english and all the info out there is in english... not to mention the fact that gambling is illegal in south korea

Wow, really sad to see Boxer leave the scene...
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!

"Boxer has signed a deal to become the main model for the game/poker site "Fulpot Poker"

i have a feeling hes just the poster boy for the site. They give him an account, pay for him to play in couple major tournaments to get publicity and get the site rolling.

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.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

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.

Everyone is so sad but imo Boxer just became twice as cool. Nobody can stay in esports forever. I wish him luck and I'm interested to see how he does.
