When 1988 (MMA) played BW, he was on SKT when Boxer returned after his stint in ACE. There must have been a clear acknowledgement of skill and I have no doubt Boxer was actively seeking MMA to become a part of his new team. Beautiful.

Ahh, so they sort of switched together :D

Edit: Oh, should have suspected it wasn't the full picture. Thanks for showing!

Lol Cella in the childish looking stance in the first picture :D You can see he's so excited... he really believes in his taem :D

The story around this GSTL is so epic. Who would have guessed that CELLA would become the coach of the best sc2 team in the world? So awesome!

Btw, it's awesome cus now, Boxer is TRULY a COMPLETE Emperor because now he has a team to reign over [with the assistance of Cella :D]

Would be perfect if Boxer played the last round and won xD

Edit: and if cella was a girl. Now, go back to the 2nd picture and look... hmm... xD

Really awesome read. This was truly an awesome story. I have high hopes for the type of players Cella and BoxeR can churn out. The next GSL and GSTL will be totally amazing! Now get practicing MMA I need a new Terran hero!!

Thanks for sharing, I'm glad I didnt miss all of the GSTL this morning. I almost said screw it and went to bed during the 7th set, and just read the results. Glad i didnt.

This needs a spotlight, it's a great write up of a fantastic season. I feel really bad for falling asleep in the middle of it...despite it being 5am.

Slayers ruined my Liquidbet in just 3 days. But I couldn't be more happy for them.

Congrats coach Cella & the players!

I just hope MMA won't meet MVP in the first 2 rounds of Code A next season. That will be sad.

Wow this was too good. I woke up at 5 every morning to watch these and was rooting for MC, but when he lost, I realized that Slayers actually played as a team in order to win, and I was able to get behind that idea and cheer for them. Such an inspirational story. Thank you very much for this.

I hadn't seen GSTL2 and everyone said the games were really good. I think I may have to spring for a GSTL2 $5 pass just to see these games.
