He's playing against someone who now focuses on LoL, while Boxer at least coaches SC2. I don't think he will need to practice too much extra to win this. He's the clear favorite IMO.

Thank you. How telling of Boxer's fame it is that a showmatch by him after retiring from SC1 overshadows the current competition, so that Boxer is mentioned on the top and throughout, while the actual finalists only in the last sentence.
Reading his autobiography right now. Probably going to come and watch the match, although I never really played SC1 multiplayer.
Well the article wanted to highlight BoxeR vs YellOw, not FanTaSy vs JangBi

Boxer retired from SC2 due to shoulder problems. I don't know how these probelms will impact the preparation. Altough I am sure he still can bunker rush.
BoxeR didn't retire... He said that he will come back for sure and that the fans shouldnt worry about retirement...
Well, temporary retirmene,t or however you would call it. He does not plan to play WoL, but may come back with HOTS.
So after their showmatch on the beach in Busan at the end of YellOw's Project A last year where they played SC2, now the conclusion playing BW. It's a shame that YellOw did not make it into Code A and stay with SC2. Oh well, looking forward to this as usual.

Yellow was kicking ass when he ended his career.. He took an insane game off Jaedong on Matchpoint and was tearing it up for Ace. He ended on a very high note so I wouldn't count him out for a long shot.
Judging on boxers game vs Huk last year I say he got some work left to do.. But with some practice we can all hopefully see some awesome dropship or bunker play
So nostalgic seeing the names they dug up for the Legends matches. I still have to go back and watch most but i did get to see Nal_rA actually playing again.. had ruled that out a long time ago . He was my first favourite progamer, but it was always fun also watching Anytime, Reach and Jangbi play.. the end of BW has been kind to me in that regard. Wouldn't have minded seeing oov or pusan grace the game one last time but you can't win them all.
On the topic of Boxer vs YellOw..
I know it probably won't be as epic as this originally was, but damn I hope we see one awesome scv rush for old times sake .
