EPTThere definitely were some really really bad ones, but also some really really good ones, the games on roadrunner today were also good. Boxer's match vs yarnc for example.

And still, he's playing in the All-Stars match almost assuredly. As far as we know, the last person to go to an All Star game for doing so little was Barry Bonds. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the guy. If you're a StarCraft fan, you're a Boxer fan, and nothing proves that more than what we're seeing here. Boxer gets credit for being Boxer, and it doesn't get much sweeter than that. Please stop equating being a StarCraft fan to being a Boxer fan. It is quite unnerving, considering that it implies that anyone who dislikes Boxer and/or the hype that surrounds him is not a StarCraft fan. | ||

Good post though, I like informative posts like this that kind of re-cap events going on around the SC scene. We are larger than all Korean sites too. Some Korean companies did a comparison during some ad negotiation stuff. | ||

However, you have to admit that the vast majority of Starcraft fans do like Boxer. He is, without a doubt, the most popular progamer in Starcraft. Heck, I even know several people that know who Boxer is, yet do not follow progaming in any way. Also, "If you're a StarCraft fan, you're probably a Boxer fan" doesn't sound quite as good. | ||

Boxer may be the most popular progamer in StarCraft, but that does not mean that liking him and/or his gameplay is a prerequisite to being a fan of professional StarCraft. I am sorry if I am arguing semantics here, but people have made such statements before and it comes off at least a bit insulting (since it implies that you are a lesser SC fan for not liking Boxer). I am sorry if my replies seem overly negative, Arrian. I like most of the thoughts you presented in this thread and wholeheartedly agree with them. It is just that that particular part struck me the most. | ||

Map tests are kinda boring, but it's at least something to watch. | ||
