Boxer vs Superman @ MSL Prelims

MSL Offline Prelims 2007, Bo3, Game-1
SlayerS_`BoxeR` vs Superman[Gamei]
This game was played at the 'MSL Offline Prelims' which is the Prelims for 'MBC Survivor Tournament' which is the Prelims for the actual MSL.
Well we all know BoxeR did indeed qualify for MSL, so you know he passed this Offline Prelims, but actually this specific game you're about to watch- he lost.
So why of all games am I uploading this one? Well its the best one :-) Its the only one where Boxer doesn't run all over his oponnent in a total one sided game.
In this game you'll see BoxeR fooling around, going for a Nuke Rush :-) He probablly knew its not a strategy he'd win with, he just did it for the fans, and as you're about to see... it was pure art!
10:14 is where the BoxeR magic takes place, don't miss it! :-) 10:45 falls the first EMP + Nuke, 13:20 the second one in the exact same place since Superman can't figure out what the heck was going on... Another 3 Nukes later in the game, but the strategy proves to be too much to actually win with :-)
After losing, Boxer knew it was time to get serious with the MBC Survivor ticket on the line, he won the rest of the set and won with the score of 2-1.
You can download the full set with the other two games if you want, but I can tell you right now, the two other games are nothing special, Boxer qualifies quite easily: files.ingame.de...

Wow, Boxer's nuke rushes just get subtler and subtler every time.

[@reneernesto5748]

finally! i was looking for this game

[@RaiKageRyu]

Boxer is having so much with those nukes. He even nuked himself, lol.

[@ckyisyourfuture]

You should watch more matches!

[@fumulustigris]

You get a "nuclear launch detected" message and you can see a red laser dot where the nuke will be launched, that's why it's so hard to pull off a nuke launch in this game.

[@Zx30]

Nuking your own base requires balls. Boxer has large balls.

[@Nogardeci89]

couldnt agree more w/ liothovercast

[@linkinpork7521]

Savior is now the leader in winning percentage. His winning % in 2006 overall was about 77%.

[@TeeQueueSA]

...This is beautiful. Effectively throwing a match in the name of fun... he's the emperor for a reason.

[@devestek]

he needs that nuke hack where he can nuke from his own base1!!!!!

[@BrenttheGreat]

It can be pretty dang tough to defend I'll admit. I used to play tons of FFA games as Zerg. When one gets good with scourge, plague, and dark swarm they can humble the carrier nerds pretty badly. I love this game.

[@3thikz]

lol he's just fooling around with nukes because he knew he could win the rest.

조민준이 킹덤언더파이어로 나름 네임벨류있는 유저였음.

[@EriBW]

Somewhat nice overall strategy for that best of 3 Boxer shows us here: Game 1: Toy with your enemy to entertain your fans when loosing that game: obliterate him in the next 2 games else: coninute Just great.

[@epidemicHEART]

Boxer is winning like 60% - 70% of his games for team ACE I hardly think hes failing in his career.

[@FTKFTK]

lawlz dude, boxer's on the upswing these days

[@ZachRose88]

I used to think i was hot shit at SC until i saw real pro's play... lol. This is on a whole different level.

[@박화랑-h8b]

임요환 팬이된이유 져도 재밋게진다

[@HeroOfXanadus]

do research.... the korean people know the progamers more than celebrities or athletes. 20,000 people came to watch Boxer's last game before his leave for the air force.

[@epidemicHEART]

I think 50% in the pro/star league is respectable, 70% is godly.

[@HeroOfXanadus]

the only thing i watch in the olympics is the martial arts.....

[@Highcon]

The terran players knows how to utilize his Vultures extremely well. Im not a Terran player myself (though the new look Terrans of Starcraft 2 are very intriguing...) but whenever I play as Terran, I pretty much avoid vultures unless I wanna put some mines in front of my base for added defense. Very nice strategies on display in this match, especially on the Terran end..

[@sisocrack]

How does superman know boxer is shoting a nuke everytime? He moves his probs before the explosion minimizing the damage.

[@omarcitoxd]

freaking genious!

[@decksteroussnail]

When you've got 2 WCG titles on your belt you've already proven yourself. But this kind of stuff isn't stuff you see from the new blood sense they all want to prove themselves.

[@onepiecegeeeken]

these guys are true athletes:P

[@ch0mper]

cant believe it lasted that long... at one point i thought boxer might pull off the win with that ridiculous tactic lol

[@UpTballA]

ROFL OMFG HE DID THAT ON LONGINUS ROFL how the fuck did he come up with that positioning ROFL GG Boxer Ill DO That NOw!!!

[@cbtwentyfour]

I think the win % leader is NaDa He's got over 70% At least he used to be

[@aleckermit]

Wow longest pro match I've ever seen...

[@beast8282]

Boxer has style :p

[@kuja900]

aye 60-70% is % the best of pros have in wins

[@0ookii0]

incredibly micro skills by boxer... too bad he didnt macro that well.

[@leono83]

nurzhik, the guys like you make me laugh... Boxer its yet a super programmer, and i can tell you more: he doesnt need prove nothing, he plays in a different way, he enjoys the game, like violetak said in the description, he play for the fans... and we dont need that boxer be the champion, we just need watch him play and smile!!

[@johnkang2000]

Factions seem much better balanced in SCBW, Protoss have noticeably higher win rate in SC2

[@doob10163]

progamer*

[@amsd1231]

that is the funniest BS I have ever heard... building blowing up doing dmg LOL!!! good one. Its called EMP that took down the shield.

[@sushibooshi]

lol so true i dont know anyone in the olympics but i know who boxer,bisu,savior are haha

[@X310aznProductionsX]

boxer is the best

[@Myujin]

well he is a "progamer" and a "programmer" XD

[@DragonScythe]

what day was this played?

[@fumulustigris]

He nukes himself on purpose. Nuke alone does not destroy a Nexus, Terran building blowing up near finishes the job.

[@oatboy]

lol you could do a lot worse than to emulate boxer

[@debit256]

lmfao

[@미카사-w2m]

핵쓰고 지지 ㅋ
