I don't think anyone has a problem with saying the chances of Boxer winning GSL Code S in the next few seasons is slim but that's not what's being discussed in the article. A) I disagree.

I'm already working on something. I am trying to get his e-mail to start a big E-mail spree to him to show him our support. Wouldn't be be lovely for boxer to wake up one morning and have over 9000 (hehe) E-mails from his fans. Would evn be awesome for him to get a few dozen a day. For him to read and know he is loved for what he does. Ask jessica on twitter? Obviously she wouldn't give his private mail up,but maybe she could open one for him where we could send the messages to? | ||

The only reason why i started following the GSL was because of Boxer, there is no other reason to watch SC2 besides the fact that the older generation progamers are here, we need to show boxer our support and love for him so that he can get back on his feet! | ||

BoxeR has put more smiles in ppl faces than this pseudo-journalist words on paper. He is still a very good player, and mostly a great person ! And i personally don't care even if he looses a game or two, i still admire his play. It hearts that he takes it so bad... and we must be here for him like he was there for us - wanting to be like him, practicing, watching his perfect gameplay !! Thank you sunneh for that great initiative and i believe that we must push that way further... Lim "BoxeR" Yo-Hwan FIGHTING !!! | ||

That said, it's quite obvious that he isn't able to reach his full potential right now, and it's disheartening because I know he has the mental acuity to outwit his opponents just as he did in his prime. If a physical handicap is preventing him from properly executing the strategies that he's developed, then his true fans demand that he return to peak physical condition. Playing through the pain is admirable but ultimately fruitless, and I don't think anyone questions his passion for competitive e-sports or his drive to be the best. What he should be doing is removing all those obstacles that could limit his success, for himself and for his fans. | ||

I love boxer as well but I really don't think attacking the reporter is the way to go, supporting boxer, letting him know we'll keep on watching him, whether it is in Code B or Code M, let him know he has all the support from his foreign fans that he can possibly imagine. That, I think, will drive him much more than a couple of hate mails to the reporter. So, in that vein, BoxeR fighting and I'll support you no matter what | ||

I see, we have different standards for who is a top player. Fair enough. I'd like to know you're opinion on Idra and Sen. If it's not apparent to you from Kim Ga-Yeon's tweets that the article was written in a way that was slanderous I don't know if we have more to discuss. This is not about his current state and only his current state. It's as simple as that. This is a thread to support him when he feels like he's been betrayed. What is so wrong with that you'll have to explain to me. Edit: Here's the other thread regarding this which has a translation of the article if you'd like to read more. | ||
