Cryin' shame. Ah well...it happens to everyone. Someday we too will have to leave behind SC--or else risk explaining to our kids what was so great about 2-d games that could lag.

Heh heh, I was reading about the "inevitable reality" and I thought to myself he just got too old, though that didn't sound right (who would leave video gaming because they're old?), and then I read that he got drafted! Now, that really sucks.

I want boxer to make love to my daughters and make the best starcraft players ever!
Don't think of him being drafted or gone forever from the starcraft playing scene; think of him ascending into studsville

Well, I don't think that he'll come back as a player. A lot can happen in 2 years, and perhaps (and don't shoot me down on this) there will be another big RTS to take the place of StarCraft. Heck, I just played the Company of Heroes demo on my PC Gamer DVD, and it is the most amazing RTS I've played since... Well, the fact is that there are other really fantastic games out there, and Korea can't stick with StarCraft forever. Maybe he'll come back as a commentator?

Boxer is not just a gamer, he is the premier figure in this sport. He has pioneered not only the game, but the industry as well. He was the first to attract the giant contracts, and the corporate sponsors. He has played StarCraft with blind boys and Prime Ministers. He has entered the mainstream of Korean culture and brought StarCraft along for the ride. Always the consumate professional, I can think of no better ambassador for the e-sports industry
Wtf, how can you play SC with Blind Boys

It's true, he did it... I remember reading about it. They blindfolded Boxer for the first 20 minutes in order to be fair.

Lmao, I guess they just have to play using sound. I remember that the first time I was introduced to boxer by wesmic, he showed me a replay of him playing scorpion. After I saw him lock 11 BC's in less than 2 seconds I really started believing that he's the best.

Heh thats funny but still that is possible. Besides all you can do is listion. Remember workers make sound when they mine plus when they build it would tell them when there off the map but those people have sc as there life.

boxer locked 11 bcs in 2 seconds, that was a pimpest play of 2002
probably best terran player now would be between [red]nada and iloveoov

Yea can you imagine all that cash from 11 BC's disapearing because of 6 ghosts? thats like sucked so much for scorption but the game was so great and they each had exactly half of the map for almost the entire game, the replay was godly, it was just like watching a movie, increadible.

Boxer announced at the MSL group draws that he had recieved his draft letter from the government, and would be entering the air force by the end of the year.
