The man above is the first true Starcraft Progamer - Lim Yo Hwan. English fans know him by his ID, SlayerS_BoxeR or by his nickname "The Emperor." He revolutionized the way people played the game and gained super star status in South Korea playing Starcraft. Boxer came up with incredibly inventive strategies and had the best control of individual units ever, thus his nickname "The Emperor" began. He has met the president of South Korea, presented at the South Korean Oscars, wrote an auto biography, and even has a DVD collection of his greatest games. He makes an annual income of over $300,000 American dollars, with an additional $90,000 in endorsement contracts. When Boxer was required to serve his mandatory military service, the Korean Airforce created a Starcraft progaming team for him known as "Airforce Aces." Lim Yo Hwan's fan club consists of over 1,000,000 members. Currently, Boxer is not as good as the young generation of players, but he is still a legendary figure in the Starcraft scene and still draws the largest crowds whenever he plays.
Here is one of Boxer's most memorable matches in which he shows why he is so loved among Starcraft fans.
