In a new report, it's said that BoxeR may not return from injury until the release of Heart of the Swarm - and may switch to Protoss or Zerg along with it.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/boxer-may-not-return-until-heart-of-the-swarm-6383967

In a new interview conducted by gamechosun.co.kr's Siwoo Lee, SlayerS Founder and Captain BoxeR discusses his current state, and when we might see The Terran Emperor--so named for his innovative and dominating play as the human faction--return to action. "This is the longest break that I've had since my debut as a Starcraft player; it's been nice," said BoxeR, who has been competing professionally since 2000. "I might return at Heart of Swarm's release, or possibly sooner than that."

SlayerS coach Hong "Cella" Seung Pyo feels the Heart of the Swarm launch time frame might be the more appropriate one for a return. "Lately, he doesn't even play the game at all. I think that he will probably return with Heart of the Swarm."

"It seems like things are continuously getting worse for Terran. I might switch to either Protoss or Zerg," BoxeR said. When asked if he was serious in switching races, he said, "actually I am half joking and half serious, but there is no law requiring me to play only Terran forever. I think that being able to embrace other races easily is the one of the pros of Starcraft II."

The full translated interview can be read at the link above.

Really doesn't seem right, but I support whatever decision The Emperor makes, and wait for his return.

Wooooow, this is huge! It would be very interesting to see how he performs under a new race. Hope he returns soon.

No. The hope of Terran must not abandon the Cause.

Oh man, I saw "Boxer may switch to" on the side of TL and was so afraid it was going to say "to League of Legends" or something.

Boxer needs to come back. If not a Terran we better see some WhiteRa Likes micro. I can't seem play Zerg not enough micro involved for his play style IMO.

Boxer has spoken: buff terran/nerf zerg/toss or he switches races.

Switching because your race aint going well at the moment is not the answer. I dont like it but I like Boxer.

It sounds more like teasing than a serious consideration. Once Terran gets through this rough patch I don't think this will be a remote consideration.
Life is too short to take it seriously.

Who knows, he may become unbeatable with playing Protoss. Hope for his healthy return.

Wouldn't it be grand if he became the hope of terran again? I mean, they felt like the worst race in BW, and he comes along. When they feel like the worst race in late WoL/HotS, will he come and save them again? :D

Regardless, I don't think I care very much what race he is. Whatever he chooses will hopefully make him happy, and he'll show us great games and creativity with whatever race he chooses.

Can't wait! I am fine with a race change. If he does change I hope it is to zerg and not protoss.

Same here... nearly had a fucking heart attack!

But on topic, The Protoss race will welcome the Emperor with open arms to our ranks!
