2004-11-12, Ever OSL Semi-Finals Bo5, SlayerS_`BoxeR` vs [NC]YellOwThis upload is for BoxerForEver, I joined all 3 games into one video.3 times in a row, Boxer bunker-rushed YellOw and finished off the Semi-finals in less than half an hour. His simple yet very strong rushes did not give YellOw a single chance to counteract. The games later caused a huge debate among Starcraft fans all over the internet about Boxer's TvZ imbalance.Personally my heart went for Yellow when I watched those VODs back in 2004, what you need to understand is how amazingly tough is the road to OSL semi-finals, both players had to beat so many top progamers in games to reach this far, and to end it so fast and decisive was too cruel. Look at Boxer's face after its all over- not even a smile, he knows exactly how much that hurt his rival and friend... but thats Boxer for you, fact is that no one else tries this kind of stuff in such important games that matter so much, Bunker rushes became insanely more 'popular' after this matchup.Manifesto from TL wrote about this matchup:"Maps dont matter, starting positions dont matter. It was all the same.Boxer rax, depot, 6 scv + 2 marine rush, Yellow 12 hatch evertime, gg x3. In only one game did Yellow even get a unit other than a drone, overlord, or zergling.The rush by Boxer was perfect. His timing was such that unless Yellow went pool first, there was no way he could stop this rush. Boxer said after he wanted to play an low economy control based game, but instead he just won."Also read about it in Sense of Star review: http://senseofstar.blogspot.com/2006/06/road-not-taken.html

Jul 7, 2008 - Unfair for whom? If one race was unbalanced, everyone wouldn't chose the race that was strongest and there would've been nothing but mirror matches. STarcraft has been on the pro gaming circuit for MANY years... just a testament to the games staying power and balance. You are probably a whining idiot that lost to a campaign game and need a cheat code to win. Win a a tournment then complain, OK?

Jul 7, 2008 - go spaun pool from the start and make as many lings as possible go from there
HAJS5 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - HEY! Americans like me have MLG (Halo 3) and the people at the "starleague" are a bunch of gamers not the average korean population.People like me (I don't personally)freak out about Halo 3. These people freak out about starcraft(which is 10 years old, but still one of the best RTS's ever). We aren't so different from them so don't be so rude please.
HAJS5 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - If you did that(besides these three matches) you would have a slow economy and these people don't tend to rush each other like the way we Americans do.Besides ling rush is usually pointless because you can have 3 to 5 marines already made.If you want to go to the big leagues of this you need to stop rushing and don't expect your opponent to either because it is disrespectful and I believe if you defeat your opponent in 3 minutes you lose.By their rules.

Jul 7, 2008 - The average korean population is usually better than some of our best player here at starcraft.
phlipgelfgren Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - those asians all look the same lol^^Starcraft is one of the best games ever, it satisfied me for a good 6 years
HAJS5 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Where did you get that statistic?Because I'm not sure if that is exaggerated racism or an actual fact(considering the Koreans I've played against on SC)
0spike0100 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - yes slow economy but only if you rush what you gota do is go Defece if use sunkens smartly can halt bunkers and maries.P.S. ive taken down quite a few terran players with ling rush but none were Korean just throughin it out their.P.s.s the hardest part would be knowing when to use an ANti-Bunker/rush stratagy cause many of my statagy are open for rushes for about 5 min but if still alive i can PWN
hailtothet1m Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - you're wrong, zerg is the macro race, they should get alot of drones in the beginning depending on the enemys strat if he rushes well then you have to get some lings and maybe a sunk, then you get lots of drones, cuz the rate of production for zerg is so much faster than terran and protoss so in the end hatcheries will be mainly used for units.

Jul 7, 2008 - what ufo language do they speak or is it music singers?
ryuugaki Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - it is a fact. i observed during my time in seoul that college-age males focus on two things: studying and starcraft. they don't sleep.
1kr Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - who wants to sleep?
1kr Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - this is the finals (meaning days of playing the best of the best) so you can't be expecting the same thing over. plus when you practice for months on a strat its pretty hard to go with something new.

BLOOURN Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - i think a better word is stereotyping..not racism
HAJS5 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - It's stereotyping a whole race so it's racism.
