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.

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.

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
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.
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.
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.
The Terrans perform a Zerg Rush on the Zerg. Irony at its finest... (It becomes hard to pull off in StarCraft II with most Zerg buildings spawning Broodlings posthumously.)
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.
man what great fucking times this was. SC2 WoL and part of HOTS was also a GREAT time in eSports, mostly WoL in SC2. I will never forget Broodwar and SC2 WoL.
It wasn't cheese. Zerg expanding without establishing enough defense was the cheese. Boxer only charged when he saw that his opponent had overextended himself.
Dunno if sarcastic but SlayerS_'BoxeR' is in SC2. He is very good (Code A, if not Code S), but the competition is fierce, and also throughout SC2, he has been plagued by shoulder injury. He is currently rehabbing but should be back playing in GSL soon.
@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...
@kaizeralex Boxer supposedly has moved on to SC2, but you're wrong, Korea is still completely head over heels for SC1. Top Korean Progamers are still doing Brood War tournaments on TV over there even now. Granted this video's quality hardly does it justice, but they are still playing this.
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.
Boxer Vs Yellow is like Larry Bird vs Magic Johnson, Ohio State vs Michigan, Red Sox vs Yankees, it is THE Rivalry that defines Starcraft and why it has become so popular today.
@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.
"Rushing" is a strategy where you go for an all-out attack very early on. It's risky, but if you catch your opponent before he gets his defenses up, it can end the game quick, like in this one. This one is so awesome because Boxer did it with worker units, which CAN attack, but are fairly weak and are generally not thought of as attack units.
@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!
This would actually be possible lorewise. If Zerglings are as tall as Marines, it would take a good number of Zerglings to lore-accurately take down an SCV.
if i had a dollar for every pixel on the screen id have a penny, but if i had a dollar for every second i enjoyed this video i would have have 318 dollars
@SpitefulAZ I think he wanted to get a solid presence at the choke to his base. The hatchery lets him spawn in units there and spreads creep so he can build sunken colonies.
@sojiadens They DID just keep the same game and upgraded the graphics. Three-quarters of matches show the exact same builds as old Brood War leagues. That's why guys like TLO and HuK are appreciated by fans: they actually use the newest units in novel ways.
@Miikle89 He won 11 major tournaments, 11 second place in a major tournament and 3 third place in a major tournament in just 5 to 6 year. I would say that pretty good.
@XxDevin21xX Really? Did you start playing when u were two???? o.O Or just when the game was reaching its later stages of life? I actually had never heard of SC2 until I got it for my birthday last December because for some reason they hardly do any advertisment for it. :P
@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.

I love the excitement of these announcers, crazy that this huge match up ended with a cheese rush but great micro from boxer
omg ,the nostalgia, i watch this on your channel when i was 13 . god, that is crazy , thank you for keeping it here
SCV’s are great early combat troops. They can repair each other and they have 60 HP.
60hp? they are OP
They have like 50% higher rate of fire than other workers too, let's not forget.
When Pro really made sense on Pro-Gamer 2019 i still watch this to be reminded of greatness.
240p? I don't wanna watch on 240p. *clicks on res options* 240p or 144p... Okay I'll watch it on 240p.

In 2024 this feels like 40p lmao
I just love the genuine excitement of the commentators. It's infectious :)

Yeah the three bunker rushes in a row proved how powerful and creative he is some times!
The most iconic SC game of all time.
Which one of those 4 pixels is SCV?
all 4
You know shit about playing games. Everything begins from pixel
This was considered good quality back in the day.
Wait till you get VCR tapes that were copies of other tapes. Shit was so bad
This is nothing compare to his Triple Bunker rush against Yellow. I mean Yellow got a trauma because of that.
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.

There are more than enough pixels in this for me to know exactly whats going on.
The cheese God
no thats bit by bit
It wasn't cheese. Zerg expanding without establishing enough defense was the cheese. Boxer only charged when he saw that his opponent had overextended himself.
this may just be the most badass video i've ever seen in my life
Boxer is GOD. He just started to play SC2 in the GSL. Can't wait to see how he does. :D
Now Starcraft is filled with cheese and attack move. At least this "rush" took skill. SC2 version is cannon rush lol.
+Despond try to rush in a league higher than silver and say that again.
+rangedfighter Well, in WoL and HotS you could always 4gate your way to master :) believe me... it worked
In NA server mabye, but not in a server that actually matters
Korean progamers frequently cheese in tournaments. Cheese works when used at the right time (and not every single match)
so ? master doesn't mean shit.. even GM players get fucked by pros
Also, 3:22 AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH hahaha
I love how it cuts to Boxer and he's sitting there in shades thinking "Yeah, I just went there"
Boxer is the guy without the shades who sighed in relief...the guy with the shades was his opponent
Boxer is a genius, hence the reason they call him "The Emperor".
Happy birthday Boxer!
