I find this connection between Starcraft 2 and poker fascinating. I can't imagine it'll be easy for him, but possibly it will be more likely to achieve something than continuing to make it 'work' with SC2

End of an era. A long era. BoxeR finally out of Starcraft for good?

It's not just SC2. A number of SC1 pros have gone to poker as well, namely Elky and rekrul.

With the reality series and no longer managing SK? I thought it goes without saying. I wonder how Jessica will take it when he loses some big hands.

Good for him. Hopefully he remains at least partly involved with Starcraft. He's a great inspiration and single-handedly the reason I began playing Starcraft.

I knew my 500th post should have been saved, it's appropriate it's about Boxer.

Well, not much for him to do in Starcraft any more. Good luck.

What are the laws on gambling in Korea?

Would be cool to see a korean "poker boom", if there hasn't been already. Feels like poker has been getting less and less attention since black friday

interesting. if he ever makes a decent run in a wsop event they'd better do one of those little player profile blurbs on him! that'd make a really good one for sure
