EPTBoxer's macro.. I'd agree.. is far from perfect, but it's GREAT to see that he's finally making a serious effort at improving it. A Boxer willing to go into the late game, every game, is a Boxer I want to see more of.

first was harass. when i watched QXC, first thing that came to mind was: boxer needs to play like qxc. and sure enough, he harassed with dropships and worked out. (i posted "boxer needs to play like qxc" in one of the livethread when qxc was playing, maybe gayeon-noomnim read it? )second was stimming. previously, like all bw terran players(myself including), they had the stim syndrome(stim everything in hotkey and MEDICS will heal them np) that stuck with them. boxer finally overcame this much better vs sen. i saw him stim only the first few marines against muta harass, he certainly wasn't doing this during his previous games. | ||

FIGHT!" up until "Mutaling vs Marine/tank round 7.... can someone switch things up a bit pls?" I'd say that Mondragon vs Cruncher games were my favorite, if only for the reason that Mondragon has some really cool multi-pronged roach attacks. So then don't watch it for the unit compositions. Watch it for the army positioning, the denial of lines of communication, the terrain usage, and the reinforcement strategy (large groups together instead of a stream of units). | ||

Game 5 was incredible. As a Terran, player I found Boxer's drops and tank positioning positively inspirational. Sen's Muta harass was textbook. At any point it felt like the game could go either way. And being a huge Boxer fanboy who really wants to see the Emperor return to the top of the tables, I was on the edge of my seat. Great show, TSL, Boxer and Sen! | ||

Feels like he upgraded his play by at least 2 levels. Very entertaining games & very happy for Boxer! | ||

Other units you often (more or less) see in ZvT: Hellions, Banshees, Thors, Roaches, Infestors, Brood Lords | ||
