Q. So, you will not change your ID?
A. OptimusPrime is only given the the greatest Prime member. I didn't win, so I should look for a next opportunity. I'm going to keep using the ID BoxeR for now.

Oh boy. Another season of Foxer/Boxer confusion.

wowow how annoying :D

But.. what if he never wins a GSL?

Will the future of the starcraft 2 pro scene be dominated in confusion b/w the two great names BoxeR and BoxeR?

Thanks for the update though :!!!

This doesn't even make sense. For one, he's obviously the best Prime member. Why should the best Prime member win GSL to be considered the best Prime? lolwut

I lol'd when he said he was changing to OptimusPrime. Sad to hear that isn't the case.

That's retarded logic. He isn't worthy of OptimusPrime but he's worthy of smurfing the emperor? I dislike him even more now.

This guy needs to hire the guys from Mad Men to create a stable image for him. Boxer, Foxer, Optimus it's getting to much.

I would just name him MarinePrime or MoMarinesMoProblems.

I think it's a hilarious reason. It's basically nonsensical and he clearly doesn't care lol

He did say that he would be changing his name to Optimus if he won when they originally did the interview.
Posts regarding his name change kind of jumped the gun.

But he will be known as FoxeR to a majority of us still!

I would call him FoxeR even if he did change his name. OptimusPrime is hilarious, but I'd rather he had a somewhat more slightly more serious name to fit his awesome talent.

You forget that the Emperor himself gave him permission.

He's not "ripping off" the name. It's the same deal as naming yourself "MichealJordan" or any other famous person. BoxeR was FoxeR's inspiration, and he didn't even know BoxeR would move to SC2. He's already resolved this issue with the man himself, and I don't understand why everyone's still whining about it.
