Intel Backs Starcraft 2 Pro Team Led by BoxeR

The infamous BoxeR, known internationally as the "Emperor" of Starcraft, will soon lead a group of professional Starcraft II players using Intel's money.

It is reported that Intel will be sponsoring BoxeR personally with $180,000 and investing in a Starcraft II team led by him for a whopping $270,000.

Many Starcraft fans will be anxiously awaiting who BoxeR will recruit to play on his all-star team and how they will compete with the very successful and skilled TeamLiquid.

    BoxeR is nuts dude. It would also be neat to see other tech companies taking this route; it really legitimizes the game.

    Meanwhile, Intel holds all money for employee raises for 2 years in a row citing "financial uncertainty". . . while making record profits for most of that time.

    Real winners running that company, I tells ya.

    Boxer is insanely good. Maybe he can get Fruitdealer? Boxer and Fruitdealer in the same clan, one can dream...

    No LAN no SC2 for me, a three part game anyway. Maybe one day in a Battle Chest edition.

    I wonder if BoxeR uses an AMD system at the moment?
