GSL's Greatest Ep.8 - BoxeR (MKP) vs Kyrix

[@TMRaven]

This will go down as one of the greatest SC2 games ever. Funny thing is we look back on it today and it looks so rudimentary and unrefined.

[@Celastrous]

And looking back at it now, it looks like plat league levels of micro

[@SevenMinaya]

And this people is how he got the name Marine King!

[@Melchior]

Foxer is now MarineKingPrime. When he started SC2, he used the name Boxer as tribute to Slayers Boxer. This was super confusing to Westerners who only use IDs and not real names. So we started calling the new Boxer "Foxer", short for "Fake Boxer".

[@theSWBFman]

such a classic game

[@webterrestrial]

When this game was played my copy of SC2 probably still had the plastic wrap on it, I'd not heard of the GSL, and HRs may still have had their Amulet upgrade.

[@sleepingmomo]

Well this was open season 2 gsl 2010 so it was a while ago ;). But a lot of Bombers TvZ is marine tank pushes of three bases pre hive tech. He got in the finals of mlg with that

[@eduandrade42]

One of the best players Starcraft 2 ever had. Hope he wins a tournament at last.

[@Trades46]

Marine King indeed. Those baneling dodges are amazing. Even today. Hell, MKP probably inverted the idea what Blizzard wanted banelings to do; counter mass marines.

[@gammkrab]

So awesome, I remember when Marineking started to split vs banelings, no one else did it people just tried target fire down bvanelings and with tanks to targetfire. But marineking was so damn good since he could go marine only with overwhelming amounts since he skipped factory etc. Damn good times

[@sirmidor]

MKP took the ID of his idol, the actual BoxeR, for this tournament. to distinguish him from the actual BoxeR, they call him Foxer (fake BoxeR).

[@stretch90]

I miss Boxer. Nobody can micro like him.

[@henningpetzschkepetzschke3752]

this is marineKing

[@henningpetzschkepetzschke3752]

yea :D he was MarineKing, Boxer and Foxer ...

[@RecentlyDreaming]

crazy to think nowadays this is pretty normal micro

[@thestud9479]

if he would have gotten combat shield this game woulda been half as long

[@Orhan6125]

Outstanding. I can't even imagine a time before spreading vs. banelings is standard in TvZ

[@sleepingmomo]

he started it, but banelings blew the techlab in at the second attack at the natural. I guess he forgot. Really stressful game so I dont blame him. And he was new to the scene and so young when he played at the open season 2.

[@Rapannell36]

Can't believe how bad zergs used to be at creep spread, that's the only reason mass marine strategies worked -__-

[@goldensunliu]

still though, the zerg side is pressuring, the creep may not help that much

[@MarkMeh13]

no combat shield??

[@mpetersen8841]

where is the combat shields?

[@childrenofbodomfan74]

Looking back at this right now feels so uncanny. No medivacs for half the game, zerg not getting upgrades^^

[@kentran9]

he didn't get Combat shield?

[@polalion]

Ah, the birth of marine splitting against banelings.

[@NullfireEQG]

17:34 BoxeR micros a single marine to block the baneling about to pop his little squad.

[@FocalPoint1575]

why no infestor?

[@frosecold]

19:11 ... focus fire like a boss!

[@lukaszepesi]

Imagine if nowadays a terran would have 3/3 marines against 0/0 zerg units, it would be a massacre. How did the zerg even stay in this game for so long ?

[@TomThompson]

MKP forgot combat shields, thats why. Those marines were 10HP in the hole the whole game. Amazing.

[@J2K4U]

After that game everybody called him MarineKing! Thats how he got his name! pure marines!

[@yichong777]

best game of all time, the game that made marines even more imba!

[@hnim44]

All hail the King!

[@ShoOtingQuasar1]

had? he still plays :D

[@DGen4Life]

you know it's an old game when they are calling shakuras a long map

[@SolarNuke1]

It's a time before the rise of the patchzerg and maps covered in creep.

[@tophm2634]

I remember this game, one of the greatest games ever. Nobody EVER micro the marines like this, MarineKing was the first to show everyone how it was done

[@justinj0]

such great play, boxer would have won way early into it, if he got combat shield haha

[@Wunji1]

Terran wins with tanks and marines? That's so rare....

[@Daly2893]

I do

[@Danstruction]

@Jacob Thomée

[@HITTMAN123445]

no you think so!!!

[@MarkMeh13]

Real Men die when they don't have to, then.

[@TheSwagSociety]

I understood your comment, don't get me wrong. Both variants are equally stupid though.

[@busydoingyourmom]

lagtv brought me here

[@harrisonlowlicht]

artosis and tasteless really dont sound into this game at the beginning lol

[@alvinsong11]

um 25 minute 3rd lol righttt

[@Wunji1]

I realize sarcasm is a lost art, but try to stretch yourself...

[@cheeseandvinegar]

MKP. Fake BoxeR = FoxeR

[@TheSwagSociety]

Stupidity should be treated with intolerance.

[@iluvyusike]

lol back when zerg goes 00 lings vs marines all game

[@igorkowalczyk9353]

good old school match boxer mayby 8 marines kill 6 benelinks

[@YanzBra]

No combat shields and opponent never even got an upgrade hahahaha

[@rayons48]

I MAEK MARIN

[@britesynth]

what the fox!ER haha

[@MrFalut]

Real Men don't use combat shield

[@TheSwagSociety]

That's a fallacy.

[@ShovelShovel]

man artosis and tasteless are literally just saying whats happening on screen lol, their commentary was so bad.

[@CreepR2k5]

Indeed... "FOXER" is doing some nice plays also...

[@progamer444]

first

[@TheSwagSociety]

Hello bronze leaguer. Shouldn't you be practicing your drones & overlords?

[@yisingpoo8827]

Overhyped game. Garbage play from zerg. No upgrades wtf
