This was a very good read! The back stories are so much more interesting for team games because the drama affects entire teams, and strategy plays a factor when picking who to play. We need to see more team leagues!!!

Definitely stay up till 4 in the morning watching these games multiple nights this week.

Sleep schedule ruined, but my heart grew three times in size. They need more GSTL, hopefully in the future it won't take a backseat spot to GSL.

EDIT: Didn't Boxer lose to Ensnare not Hyperdub?

While Boxer may not be the champion player he was in BW, he certainly is someone a team can center around and accomplish the unthinkable. Amazing, bravo boxer, gg wp.

Thanks for such a good write-up. This week was full of drama and nerd chills all over. SlayerS has come a long way, I hope their players can get into Code S. MMA is a beast.

Great writeup. I just love Boxer. Just the fact that he was the first one on the GSL that actually went to his opponents booth to shake hands, so professional and suave.

Runs the SlayerS clan like a boss AND has THE CUTEST girlfriend ever seen. Happy for him.

I had to go to Uni after the first few games. Best decision ever to bring along my laptop and just watch the games instead of paying attention during the lecture.

People started looking at me because I was basically bouncing up and down in excitement during the MVP vs Ryung and MVP vs MMA games.

Between Alicia, MMA, and Ryung SlayerS seems to have really stepped their game up. These kids are really really really good. Not only that, they understand the game in a way that several other top level players don't.

SlayerS_MMA GSL7 Champ!!

edit : hit 6 instead of 7

I hadn't seen GSTL2 and everyone said the games were really good. I think I may have to spring for a GSTL2 $5 pass just to see these games.

This. I was getting short on bandwidth so I decided to skip this season. I'm thinking of changing my mind.

Absolutely phenomenal history we've witnessed, great read ! Just amazing what Team SlayerS has managed to do. Going from being the lowest team results in the season before with barely any recognition or results to conquering the mighty GSTL spot

I love SlayerS, from zero to hero - the only team in Korean SC2 which has shown real heart and comradery - the type of team that makes me wish we had a real proleague. Good on you SlayerS, godspeed Emperor, godspeed.
