Over at the well know Esport-site » ESReality.com they have had a vote going on for several weeks now. In this vote they want to find out who people think is the greatest gamer of all times. The well known 
Boxer is now in the final versus the Counter-Strike gamer 
Potti.ESReality describes Boxer this way:
Which gaming scene has the most progamers? Which progamers put in the most time? Which progamers have wages and annual contracts? Which progamers are recognised when they walk down the street, and cause queues of autograph hunters to form? Which progamers appear on national TV, in the news, in commercials and in lifestyle shows?
South Korea has dozens of Starcraft professionals, and has done for over five years now. In a country that has two TV stations dedicated to the game, where school children everywhere know the players, and where finals have been known to draw 8,000 people to watch the game - LIVE - which player has dominated the scene for four years and is still going strong?
Lim Yo-Hwan, a.k.a SlayerS_'BoxeR' has a fan club with 100,000 members. He has won more televised tournaments than most the people in this competition have attended LANs. He has a regular wage that is several times the national average, and more income from endorsements and tournament prizes than I care to calculate. He has won two World Cyber Games in a row, written books, used his name to help sell chocolate - is there anyone else on this poll who has done even half as much?
However, it's dominating arguably the most popular competitive online game - there are more people on battle.net with Starcraft than there are with Warcraft 3 or on a Counter-Strike server at the moment - against scores of other professionals, that makes Boxer the most deserving recipient of this award. Voting against him just because you haven't heard of him until today, or because he doesn't play Quake, would be an admission that skill or influence on the world of gaming is being ignored.
Boxer is without a doubt the greatest gamer of all time, in mine and many others eyes, so therefore we hope that everyone will head over to ESReality to show them that BoxeR was,is and will always be a legend in Esports!
PS! You must be registered to vote, but this only takes a minute so please use some of your time to vote for BoxeR.
