Is Boxer[arnc] the same guy as the one who was at the top of the korean ladder a week or so ago? Is he/she an ex-BW player? Or just really good :S
Cos the real Boxer is Manofoneway.
Confused :X
Yes, Boxer[arnc] is the Boxer that was top of Korean ladder. The [arnc] part is a joke because there were two players named Yellow in Brood War and one had [arnc] (a clan) after his name and that was one way to distinguish them... the other being "yellow" and "fake yellow" (or yarnc) which is why people refer to this Boxer as fake Boxer and Manofoneway as Boxer.
Also the fake Boxer was an amatuer BW player who played Protoss I think (iirc). So yeah he played BW, but he was nothing special.

I would like to mention that there will be 8 matches per day during the broadcast of the Ro64.
Just thought that was pretty ridiculous.

Looks like the Terran Effect has already begun. I predict that the Terran effect will continue in each round until, once again, 100% of the non-FruitDealer players in the tournament will be Terran.
Does anyone else think Fruit Dealer is the only hope for Starcraft 2 esports atm? Imagine if he didn't exist all the final rounds would just be TvTs, boring as hell. I'm not trying to troll here, but honestly who would have watched all the final games of GSL1 if they were all just TvT?
Seriously? There is nothing wrong with TvP. Protoss players just need to stop sucking and get their shit toghether. But they couldn't do it for the last 10 years so I don't see why they can now.

Serious...
There is nothing wrong with P atm. Zerg are at a disadvantage vP and vT, but protoss can more than hold their own against T and Z.

TG-Sambo is no longer a sponsor of GSL
|
@Disastorm, the only reason you'd want to watch a PvP or ZvZ is because it would be "rarer". If the finals were TvT of course I would have watched the players make the game, not the race. (plus I'd only ever say Z was disadvantaged - the last GSL was very Protoss heavy).

You couldn't be more wrong. Protoss players don't whine as much as Zerg. I'm pretty sure if there are no Protoss in the RO16 you will state that they all suck. Just like the old GSL, TvP (especially before the new patch comes out) will have a significant Terran leading ratio.
Tester, claimed the best Protoss, got eliminated by a no name Terran 2-0 abusing Banshees. That's not right. He and many other top Koreans also have said that Terran is favoured but with their Korean idealogy, don't expose it as much. Don't believe what Artosis and Tasteless said regarding Protoss being the strongest--Koreans were basing that on Tester's Protoss.
Everyone knows that Terran is the strongest and Terran players are trying to confuse others so they don't get nerfs. But at least when the new patch comes out, we will see all the horrible Terrans fall to Zerg  but it might make Protoss weaker  .

s2 ticket bought! sucks about TG, I hope a new sponsor is found ;_;
|
HD vods is huge news. Maybe better than nada and boxer qualifying. I don't know I'd have to think about it.
Edit: I don't see Intel mentioned on the season 2 page either.
|
Wow I am very happy to hear about the improved steam and vod quality!!!
I will definitely be purchasing another ticket now.
on another note... 8 matches a day for ro64?? Thats pretty nuts!
Lets say all of them go to 3 games with an average length of 20 minutes a game (I know its likely to be less but this isn't entirely unreasonable to have happen especially with the abundance of TvTs we're bound to see)
Thats 8 Hours of matches in 1 day! I feel bad for Artosis and Tasteless lol.
@Junkka: Will you be doing the translation again for interviews?
Edit: any word on the matchmaking/seeding system yet? I heard it was random.. which would suck pretty hard if we saw an IdrA/TLO or Fruitdealer/HopeTorture match in the ro64.....
