guys, in the new DES article yellow is saying he isn't calling it a "switch" or "comeback" because his skill level is so low. he says he'll only make an official announcement when he feels his skill is fully up to the task of competing.

furthermore, there is no mention whatsoever of yellow joining slayers. believe the title should be changed.

title is a little misleading, granted, but it doesn't matter if yellow doesn't see it as a "comeback" or a "switch".

he is officially training to become competitive at sc2. doesn't matter if he doesn't think he's good enough. time will tell, but as it stands yellow is taking the game seriously and slayers jessica will represent him. that's what i took from the article ~_~

Seems like the thread title is a little off. Oh well. Good news regardless.

hope Yellow doesn´t join slayers... don´t want them to form a super team ala Miami Heat; rivals should remain rivals even if they are friendly with each other.

ok, slayers is ridiculous. They have Boxer, Jessica, Eve, now honorary member Yellow, Cella, and oh, 5 of the best terrans in the world and Alicia. This is begging for a weekly vlog series. Like a 5 minute episode a week. Endless entertainment and SC2 promotion. Make it happen!

So whats going on? is he on slayers or isn't he.

Also to bad that Oov is going into the army. Seeing iloveoov, and boxer on the same team again would own, and oov is a fucking amazing coach.

Korean gold so not quite as bad. I've seen nothing to verify, but it's also been said that his practice so far has been mostly off the ladder so the league placement could very well be inaccurate.

He's also been playing for, what was it, a few weeks and didn't declare he was training seriously until right now? For as much talk as there is about how the ex-BW pros could switch over and play at the GM level in days was anyone taking that seriously?

RTS genius or not you still have to learn through your game specific failures before you start romping on people who've been playing for the last 12-16 months.

If Jessica starts a movement of agents for players and personally starts her own agency taking on more agents, ESPORTS will become significantly more legit.

I'm stoked. there is no other person I'd like to see doing this.
JESSICA HWAITING THE PAPERWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
