According to fomos.kr is BoxeR now in negotiations with Intel for a $180,000 a year deal for the Emperor, along with a $270,000 investment in a new team.

- “It is true that we are currently in the talks with BoxeR for the sponsorship. It is not confirmed, as there are multiple issues and understanding between related parties.”

Intel will be giving Lim Yo-Whan a yearly salary of the incredible $180,000, and invest $270,000 in a new team for The Emperor if the deal is settled.

With his pro-gamer status ran out on November the 3rd, and SK Telecom announcing BoxeR as a retired man to KeSPA, only a confirmation from Lim Yo-Hwan himself is awaited from KeSPA to make it official, which will lead to him being able to join other teams. As for now, he is titled 'not contracted player', which does not allow him to sign with other teams.

- "We received request to make BoxeR as an retired player from T1 progaming team. But, this is not confirmed from BoxeR himself. We will announce the retirement status after confirming BoxeR's opinions first" said Lee Jae Hyung for KeSPA.

If the deal runs through, who do you think should join BoxeR's new pro-gaming team? Discuss.
