Boxer's Perfect SCV Rush

[@Minshooga]

To the people who keep saying that this move is unimpressive because everyone uses it, he basically fucking made this strategy. This, and alot of the other tactics that people use in Starcraft. He also brought Terran in as a useful race because before that people considered Terran useless. He invented and brought out new strategies that people hadn't seen before in Starcraft during its early days.

[@MrPathorn]

And then they debate "Is Terran Overpowered?"

[@Newbtuber]

Actually due to boxer crazy and stupidly all-in micro heavy plays, he fucked up the meta game for years. People were so focus on surviving and figuring out what to do against his crap that they forgot how to actually learn how to macro. Wasnt until Nada and iloveOvv that the current meta started to develop when they showed people that to win you just need to make many units

[@Pino1986]

Newbtuber so you’re practically validating the fact that he changed the game. Which by definition makes him great. Ppl had to figure how to beat it. So in turn he elevated the level of competition

[@tarisco614]

Seriously. The man MADE the meta. I got into a debate about this with some young guy with no knowledge about early SC/BW history, saying stuff like "Boxer is nothing compared to Flash." Dude, witbout Boxer, there may not have even BEEN a Flash.

[@tarisco614]

Newbtuber First of all, you're proving the argument that Boxer was so godlike that he reformed the way everyone played the game. Secondly, ILO, Nada, and even Flash definitely shaped the way the game was played, too, but with no Boxer, we may not have even had them. Seems like the younger generation just doesn't realize how important Boxer and even Yellow were to the scene. He was considered a god long past his prime solely because of all he did for our community.

[@biniwon]

I remember watching the starcraft league during my youth and until its demise (after several game fixing scandals and financial problems). I’m still 20 yrs old, but basically my father introduced me with this game and the earliest e-sports scene when I was 6. And oh dear, the game was fun, but watching professionals players (which was still a strange concept back then) with god-level skills playing this game was just another level of joy. The name value of SlayerBoxer (Lim) itself was back then equal to Faker in South Korea, and he really was something else besides his skills, cuz he stayed and supported his team for quite a while until it officially becamea a funded team named as SKT T1. You know it’s always nostalgic to watch past starcraft games like this iconic rivalry btw Boxer and Yellow. I know this sounds very Korean, but it’s been an honor to experience this whole development of a thing called e-sports from its earliest times to now, where it’s popularly categorized as a form of media. I played many games like call of duty (from 1 to modern warfare reboot) , pubg, fifa, battlefield, LoL, etc. and I still enjoy playing those. While I’m nowadays deep into LoL, starcraft is always gonna remain as the major stepping stone that established the concept of ‘professionalism’ and the foundations for the world of e-sports.

This is nothing compare to his Triple Bunker rush against Yellow. I mean Yellow got a trauma because of that.

[@martinfanatic532]

Minkyu Kim this probably inspired him, Yellow ended up beating him this series 3-1 with only this game going in Boxer's favor, so he probably thought he could exploit him if he kept going for the 12-hatch. This game happened in early 2003, his bunker rushes happened almost a year and a half later.

@crazy4sian As for your last question, I don't feel that the two are mutually exclusive. Games are simply a task with an objective. So no, I wouldn't give up games for the desire to help others, I'd use them to help others. I'd think outside the box and develop games that teach and make games to rehabilitate injured people, solve medical problems, and that directly improve some of your coveted "real life skills". In a short 30-ish years, games have gone from dots to full scale war simulations...

@ellocox666 its a sc1 static def for zerg, u can comparison it with a spine crawler, but there are a few key difference between those 2, a sunken colony cant unborrow for example. i hope this explains it a bit. u can also look it up on a sc wiki i think you will find details there.

[@crazy4sian]

@Delinius7 Pick every little detail apart if you like; a game is a game regardless of the person who plays it, and ultimately a form of entertainment. You can also argue that televised sports are also a form of entertainment, and that there is no difference between an athlete who spends years honing his skills and a gamer who does the same to get paid. My point is that games don't require training to become technically proficient and have no applications outside gaming unless designed for it.

@MrHav1k No, cheese rush a.k.a Bunker Rush- is done by a few SCV's and a few marines. Yes, there are SCVs and Marines that rushed, but there was no bunker involved. So no, it was NOT a cheese rush!

[@PowerHeal00]

@lzrd0113 Well, because in SC2 there are queens for extra larvae, whereas in SC1 because there isn't the "inject larvae" hatcheries were needed earlier and double the amount (at least) so hatcheries are needed before Zerg expands, and he put it there because it's farther forward so that he would be warned if things attacking, because he'd rather have that die than like drones....(or at least I think that's why he put it there o.o)

I have been watching StarCraft 1 remastered, I was like let me just search Boxer’s immortal marines and his perfect SCV rush real quick lol it never disappoint.

[@TheBalefire]

@Etrajbe I have to disagree with you there. Brain skill and body skill are two different attributes that can't be directly compared, but being a pro athlete takes the same amount of time and practice as being a pro gamer. As for skills and tactics, any pro athlete has to memorize dozens of different plays. They have to learn to use deception and good timing in order to get past the enemy defense. I think they are more similar than you make out.

[@bamsebomsen]

@ShaolinUfo Actually, Boxer was only 26 and Yellow was 24. They both won extremely many tournaments and gained a lot of fame and money for it. Sadly they both have had their mandatory military service after that and it shows on their skills.If you win Code S you get $87 000, and not to mention that you can participate in a lot of other tournaments like TSL, NASL, MLG, Dreamhack and a lot more all over the world. The total prize pool for the GSL2010 was $500 000.

I've quite sure they have very quick coordinated arm and body movement (like juking in Basketball) but sadly, people have severely broadened the concept of what a "sport" is, including even games like Chess and Golf. At least Chess requires IQ though.

@Schlamp96 since it is not possible to select more than 12 guys in a single group in Sc1, and the unit pathing is so god-awfully terrible, it is very hard to keep massive armies organized in Sc1, so most of the fighting occurs with smaller, more-microed groups of fighting units. there are definitely epic battles, though

@lunaretic3 so that's pretty much it, and its really attached to the people.

[@xTheBoomaHx]

@PistolOfShame Basically its very risky. The SCV's (worker units) were basically buffers to protect the marines from Lings/workers. While they were protected marines killed off everything the zerg had, if the zerg could micro his way around his SCV's and got to his marines he would be fucked. And marines are basic, but in a battle where there are only workers/zerglings they become super units.

@crazy4sian "Real Job" - A job which requires the employee to, work regular hours for a consistent wage that often exceeds the provisions of applicable minimum wage legislation.
