Update: There is an article with conflicting information.

On August 09 2011 21:30 Milkis wrote:
DES talked with Yellow, and they are reporting that this article is grossly exaggerated.

You can find that article here

http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=48543




Hong Jinho [YellOw] has signed Kim Ga-Yeon [SlayerS_Jessica] as his personal agent, putting his professional life, team relations/establishment, broadcast participation and all other activities under her management.

[image loading]

"Storm Zerg" Hong Jinho [YellOw] begins his career in Starcraft 2 in earnest.

YellOw signed a contract with Kim Ga-Yeon [Jessica], making her his personal agent. Jessica revealed on the 6th at the WCG qualifiers at the Intel eStadium in the Shindorim Technomart that she was "active as YellOw's personal agent", revealing the special relationship with Hong Jinho for the first time.

Jessica explained, "Having seen the Lim Jin Rok* Returns match, I came to know what a beautiful thing BoxeR and YellOw could create. I don't think the players could have looked any happier while competing and for the sake of the fans who enjoyed the event, I personally convinced YellOw."

Jessica had initially offered the recently-retired progamer YellOw a switch to Starcraft 2 on June 25th, but she received a reply saying that he did not have any thoughts of doing so at the time. However, there have since been a flood of diverse event invitations for YellOw and feeling the burden of personally dealing with schedules, he requested her help. In the midst of all this, Lim Jin Rok* Returns played out on the Haeundae beach of Busan, which fired up the competitive spirit of YellOw and greatly accelerated the contract discussions.

With Jessica also being the agent for BoxeR and manager SlayerS and, her contracted role with YellOw naturally first with her. Currently, game team leader Jessica may only have seemed to have only been active in looking after BoxeR as his fiancee, but has showed that she can convince other progamers into exclusive contracts.

In future, Jessica will be managing YellOw's public events as well as providing support for his career as a Starcraft 2 professional. To raise YellOw's skill levels, he will be provided with the same conditions as the SlayerS team members to train. However, to guarantee his individual activities as a player, he will not be joining the SlayerS dormitory.

In addition,YellOw can compete in the GSL preliminaries or even the GSTL as part of SlayerS, and once YellOw's skill levels have sufficiently improved, Lim Jin Rok may be taken abroad. Jessica explained that "While YellOw may be in the Gold League in Battle.net, he is a legendary progamer that once dominated a generation, and we at SlayerS are always open to taking in any player that shows potential."

[image loading]

However, YellOw is not entering SlayerS as an official team player. In addition, YellOw is only taking his baby steps in Starcraft 2 and due to his past legendary status in Starcraft, it was not right to take him as a trainee as in the case of Kim Siyoon [Eve]. Thus, it was decided that he would be an honorary team member. However, if there is ever a company or body that wishes to form a team with YellOw at its center, they need only to speak to his agent, Jessica. She believes that he has the capacity to reach a stage where he can lead his own team.

There has never before been an "agent" in eSports. Large-scale professional sports is filled with agents, but it has not only been unheard of in the decade-long history of eSports and in fact, players having their own personal agents have actually aggressively been discouraged.

On this, Jessica said, "While I have been acting as BoxeR's agent, being his girlfriend meant that this was not a a big issue. However, acting as YellOw's agent has made me realise that eSports professionals need agents just like sports professionals for their own advancement. I hope that after myself as a starting point, at there will be an influx of agents from professional sports.

Unlike other ordinary teams before, SlayerS will allow personal agent contracts for team members that have great skill and professional mindset. And it will be the aim of SlayerS to support them so that they can find good teams. I hope that this is the way that SlayerS be a team where all members will receive the greatest respect. The first player to have a personal agent was BoxeR and the second YellOw, and the third may be Moon Seongwon [MMA].

Henceforth, Jessica will be in charge of YellOw's professional life with team relations/establishment, broadcast participation and all other activities under her management. YellOw will be concentrating on improving his Starcraft 2 skills with Jessica and SlayerS to the level of current professionals.

*Lim Jin Rok is the name given to the perpetual series between SlayerS_BoxeR and YellOw

‘폭풍’ 홍진호가 <스타크래프트 2>로 본격적인 활동을 시작한다.

홍진호는 슬레이어스 김가연 게임단주와 에이전트 계약을 체결했다. 김 게임단주는 6일, WCG 예선이 진행되는 신도림 테크노마트 인텔e스타디움에서 기자와 만나 “홍진호 선수의 개인 에이전트로 활동하고 있다”며 홍진호와의 특별한 계약 관계에 대해 처음 언급했다.

김 게임단주는 “지난 5일, 임진록 리턴즈를 본 뒤 임요환, 홍진호 선수가 함께 활약하는 그림이 얼마나 아름다운지 알게 됐다. 함께 경기에 임하는 두 사람의 모습이 그렇게 행복해 보일 수 없었고, 매우 즐거워하는 팬들을 위해 홍진호 선수를 직접 설득했다”고 말했다.

당초 김가연 씨는 지난 6월 25일 프로게이머 은퇴를 선언한 홍진호에게 스타2로의 전향을 권유했으나 아직 마음이 없다는 답변을 들었다. 하지만 이후 홍진호에게 다양한 이벤트나 행사 제안이 쇄도했고, 이를 직접 관리하기 버거웠던 홍진호는 김가연 씨에게 도움을 요청했다. 이런 와중에 8월 5일 부산 해운대 해수욕장 특설무대에서 ‘임진록 리턴즈’가 성사됐고, 이 경기 후 홍진호가 승부욕을 불태우기 시작하면서 계약 이야기는 급속도로 진전됐다.

마침 김가연 씨는 임요환과 에이전트 계약을 맺고 슬레이어스 팀을 운영하고 있었고, 자연스럽게 홍진호와 에이전트 계약을 맺게 됐다. 지금까지 김가연 게임단주는 연인인 황제 임요환(슬레이어스)의 내조를 위해 움직이는 것으로 보였지만 이면에는 전속 계약을 체결한 에이전트와 소속 프로게이머 관계도 숨어 있었던 것.

앞으로 김 게임단주는 홍진호의 이벤트나 외부 행사 등의 매니지먼트는 물론 스타2 선수 생활을 전폭적으로 지원한다. 이를 위해 홍진호의 연습과 실력 향상을 위해 슬레이어스 선수들과 똑같은 조건에서 연습을 할 수 있게 됐다. 하지만 홍진호의 개인적인 활동을 보장하기 위해 숙소 생할은 하지 않는다.

아울러, 홍진호가 원한다면 슬레이어스 소속으로 GSL 예선이나 GSTL에 출전할 수도 고, 홍진호의 실력이 향상된 이후에는 해외에서 임진록이 성사될 수도 있다고 한다. 이에 대해 김 게임단주는 “비록 홍진호 선수가 현재 배틀넷 골드 리그에 머무르고 있지만 시대를 풍미했던 전설적인 프로게이머이고, 우리 슬레이어스는 가능성이 보이는 선수라면 얼마든지 받아들일 자세가 되어 있다”고 설명했다.



그러나 홍진호가 슬레이어스에 입단해 정식 선수가 되는 것은 아니다. 또한, 홍진호가 스타2는 걸음마 단계지만 과거 <스타크래프트> 레전드인 관계로 김시윤 선수의 경우처럼 연습생 신분으로 둘 수 없어 명예 선수로 영입하기로 결정했다. 하지만 언제라도 홍진호를 중심으로 팀을 창단하길 원하는 기업이나 관계자가 있다면 에이전트인 김 게임단주와 논의하면 된다. 김 게임단주는 홍진호가 충분히 자기 만의 팀을 이끌 수 있는 실력에 도달하도록 주력하게 될 것이라고.

그 동안 e스포츠에는 ‘에이전트’가 없었다. 대형 프로 스포츠에서는 이미 에이전트가 일반적인 사례로 자리잡고 있었지만 e스포츠는 10여 년의 역사를 갖고 있음에도 불구하고 지나치게 폐쇄적인 관점에서 선수 개인 에이전트를 금지하고 있었다.

이에 대해 김 게임단주는 “사실 임요환 선수의 개인 에이전트 역할을 계속 해오고 있었지만 여자친구라는 점 때문에 부각이 되지 않았다. 이번에 홍진호 선수의 에이전트로 활약하면서 e스포츠에도 다른 스포츠처럼 선수들을 발전시켜줄 에이전트들이 필요하다는 생각을 해왔다”고 말한 뒤 “연예인 생활을 하면서 얻은 경험으로 에이전트 역할을 수행하고 있다. 나를 시발점으로 이후 e스포츠에도 전문적인 스포츠 에이전트 들이 유입되길 기대한다”고 덧붙였다.

이어 김 게임단주는 “지금까지 일반적인 게임단과 달리 슬레이어스는 실력이 출중하고 프로 마인드가 잘 갖춰진 선수들을 개인적으로 에이전트 계약을 체결할 것이다. 그리고 그들이 좋은 팀을 찾을 수 있도록 최선을 다해서 지원하는 것이 슬레이어스의 목표”라며 “슬레이어스 출신 선수들이 최고의 대우를 받으며 좋은 팀으로 갈 수 있는 루트를 만들길 바란다”고 말했다. 마지막으로 “현재 에이전트 계약 첫 번째는 임요환, 선수 2번째는 홍진호 선수가 됐으며 3번째는 아마도 문성원 선수가 될 것”이라고 말했다.

앞으로 김 게임단주는 홍진호의 선수 생활, 팀 입단 및 창단, 방송 출연 등 모든 활동을 지원, 관리하게 된다. 홍진호는 김 게임단주, 슬레이어스와 함께 스타2 실력을 현역 프로 선수들 수준으로 끌어올리는데 집중할 것으로 알려졌다.

Update:
I asked Jessica for clarification and her own words were that she will be personally dealing with YellOw and he is an honorary member of SlayerS.

Time for Nestea to give up his throne to a player that was actually at the top of the scene at one point?

Of course after Yellow practices for awhile.

Wow, big news!!
But what I don't understand is didn't Boxer say that he does not want him on his team and that he should create his own team because it would help esports?

EDIT: Here we go:

Suppose that you did decide to come back. Do you have any thoughts of joining SlayerS?
Yellow - If I make a come back then all realms of possibility are open. I'm not going to not go just because it's the team that has BoxeR. I think in order to overcome that person, being on the same team would be helpful. I think it's one good method.
BoxeR - I'm against it. I think it'll be better if Yellow made his own team. If you look at the big picture for the Starcraft 2 market, I think Yellow having his own identity would be for the best for e-Sports.

Nice. I don't think I've ever hoped for someone to succeed as hard as I am doing for Yellow. A triumphant return of both Yellow + Boxer to the limjinrok days would be the greatest thing ever.

Indeed, but the translation doesn't even mention joining SlayerS (to the point he has translated up too) It just says him and Jessica have a contract so she is his PR agent as it will, maybe he will create a team, or just go solo for a while who knows, but this title is a bit silly considering not one point in the translation does it say that YeLLoW is a SlayerS player lol

The slayers team is pretty lacking in zergs. I mean min and yugioh are decent but havent made as big of splash as some of their terrans and their (well only one) protoss. Yellow should help quite a bit in that department.

Ofc it doesnt say so, sorry. I just got super exited :p

But seriously, I would asume that have Slyers Jessica managing him could be closely related to Yellow joining SlayerS. But I am going to wait for the rest of the translation now, before I cause more confusion

"I never wanted to stay without Yo Hwan-hyung."

Jin Ho would find his next home in early 2002 with Yo Hwan on the Ideal Space (IS) proteam. Living together with Yo Hwan and being the veterans on the team, he saw how their personalities were polar opposite of each other. Yo Hwan would push the practice partners until they would beg him to stop. Jin Ho would push them until they asked him to stop. Though he teased him for it, Yo Hwan understood that his soft approach was needed to balance the otherwise brutal training sessions.

______________________________________________________________________________

Because the game is his whole world, he'll live with his back against the wall until he experiences that certain joy which is the reason for him sitting on that stage.

The joy of creating a storm.


Back on the same team, what a dream, what drama, what excitement!

This is also what I would read out of all this...that Jessica helps him establishing in the SC2-scene so he can form his own team or something like that.

So, is there any proof that he did, in fact, join team SlayerS?

This is also what I would read out of all this...that Jessica helps him establishing in the SC2-scene so he can form his own team or something like that.

So, is there any proof that he did, in fact, join team SlayerS?


nope, he is not gonna join SlayerS. He can still practice with them but.. joining team is completely different story.

oh my god this thread title is super misleading. all it states is that slayers jessica has became his agent of sorts and that he has the choice to enter gstl with slayers. its not an official admission into slayers team and that he still has the choice to create his own team -.-

But it's still big news, isn't it?!
Imo this is very big news, especially because SCII could be pushed a lot more inside Korea and Yellow participating in SlayerS could draw a lot of attention

It's not all about results.

Back before SCII was out, I enjoyed wathing specific matchups, even if the players where not fighting for the first place in a tournament. Showmatches, Ro8 (e.g.) matches etc. can be pretty exciting with the right players facing each other.

YellOw's BW career lately was waaaaaay better than BoxeR's. While BoxeR was being SKT's other mascot, YellOw was still winning games (against some good players, too) for ACE. Of course, he saw almost no games for an entire year himself, so he's definitely out of form... but it's certainly reasonable to think of him as at least code A material.

Edit: This is good, YellOw needs to stay around in some form, be it player, coach, commentator... something. He's the capital O in ESPORTS, if he disappeared entirely we'd just be left with ESPoRTS, and that's no good.

(T)BoxeR

(Z)July


They were accomplished BW legends. It's pretty cool to see how players from before I started following BW that I've only heard about play SC2. If you don't quite understand it, then that's okay, but give credit where it's due. These guys you mentioned dominated the BW scene at their peaks.

To raise YellOw's skill levels, he will be provided with the same conditions as the SlayerS team members to train. However, to guarantee his individual activities as a player, he will not be joining the SlayerS dormitory.


<3 being taken seriously

Can't wait for the results of his training!
So excited for Project A ^^

I think people need to lay to rest that if the best BW players switch over they will dominate SC2. BW had better units compared to SC2, and sc2 is a game where any pro can take out any pro.

You think our excitement has anything to do at all with thinking he's going to be winning GSL's anytime soon? Much like Boxer, July and Nada, Yellow could no longer keep up with the younger generation in Brood War and was rotting away meaninglessly on the bench. By switching to SC2 it gives us fans a chance to see Yellow back in the booth where he was meant to be.

BoxeR - I'm against it. I think it'll be better if Yellow made his own team. If you look at the big picture for the Starcraft 2 market, I think Yellow having his own identity would be for the best for e-Sports.

I agree with boxer, not fun seeing two rivals in the same team. oh well.

The only thing I see out of BW players switching to SC2 is that it will make SC2 much bigger and much more dedicated to. Usually where are the games held for a Ro32 match in BW? Is it as small as Mok-dong studio seems to be for GSL?

its happened, top, san, ensnare, even clide. I bet a player like Squirtle could take out Nestea in some way. Well you didn't see a foreigner take down a player like flash in BW did you? Even in SC2 foreigners lose to the top dog in SC2 such as Jinro/MKP.

Its amazing how fast he went from retiring and not considering taking up sc2 professionally to the complete opposite. I guess he got the bug again from the showmatch and figured he might be able to make some pocket change.

Hopefully this will open the door for more legends to make the move!

Flash started dominating when BW was already established for several years.
SC2 is still new, of course there's noone like Flash who dominates the scene right now.

Also, as much as I love Jinro, he's not on the top anymore. He's on his way back up, but you can't put him on the same level as the top Korean Terrans right now. Same with MKP, although he's a lot closer than Jinro.

on topic:

This is awesome, I'm excited for Yellows as a SC2 player! Hope he will do well in a few months or so.

Losing a game to someone is not similar to get "taken out" by someone. It WILL happen that you lose sometimes, but overall you(in this case NesTea) just dominate them.

That is why you don't play just 1game but a BoX series. You might win a bo7 and lose 2games, but you still are the better player.

And eventually you will lose a complete BoX, but because the game is changing so quickly and has so many factors it doesn't mean he's suddenly way better than you if you dominated him all the time. He has to start winning more BoX vs you to truly say that he "took you out".

It's just wrong to say that any pro can take out any pro. To take out NesTea, it takes a whole lot. And not many people managed to do that in SC2 so far... Maybe your statement might be true for the foreigners and the "lower koreans" that are on a similar level and therefore lose/win against almost anyone of them, but that doesn't mean that we don't have dominating people in SC2.

Would be awesome to see Yellow to be one of the dominating players

I asked Jessica for clarification and her own words were that she will be personally dealing with YellOw and he is an honorary member of SlayerS.

This is huge! Especially after he claimed he would probably not switch to sc2, and definately not join SlayerS. Can't wait to see what he's going to accomplish.

Honorary Slayers member sounds pretty much like joining the Slayers family, did you read the article before posting?

Saw this coming, but am really glad it's happening. BoxeR and yellOw's friendship and rivalry continues! I do want yellow to join slayers though. Their zerg lineup is small and yellow was like my first favorite zerg player.

The only thing I see out of BW players switching to SC2 is that it will make SC2 much bigger and much more dedicated to. Usually where are the games held for a Ro32 match in BW? Is it as small as Mok-dong studio seems to be for GSL?

I think people need to lay to rest that if the best BW players switch over they will dominate SC2. BW had better units compared to SC2, and sc2 is a game where any pro can take out any pro.

Yea watch NesTea get taken out by everyone! Especially foreigners!LOL


its happened, top, san, ensnare, even clide. I bet a player like Squirtle could take out Nestea in some way. Well you didn't see a foreigner take down a player like flash in BW did you? Even in SC2 foreigners lose to the top dog in SC2 such as Jinro/MKP.


Flash started dominating when BW was already established for several years.
SC2 is still new, of course there's noone like Flash who dominates the scene right now.

Also, as much as I love Jinro, he's not on the top anymore. He's on his way back up, but you can't put him on the same level as the top Korean Terrans right now. Same with MKP, although he's a lot closer than Jinro.

on topic:

This is awesome, I'm excited for Yellows as a SC2 player! Hope he will do well in a few months or so.


Ok well I was actually talking about Jinro and MKP when they were considered the top Terran players back in GSL Jan. And when they played each other in Jan.
We got them GOM TvT's and them mlGG's

Slayers Jessica once again forging new paths in the e-sports business. She continues to impress me.

I wonder if Yellow will begin devoting himself more to SC2 now that pressure's being put on him. I love seeing the older generation compete in SC2, so it would be a lot of fun to have another old guy around.

Oh Yeah! I think it was BoxeR's idea to not invite YelloW to join SlayerS because he wants YelloW to create his own team and rekindle their rivalry. Jessica (and SlayerS) is just helping YelloW jump start his SC2 career.

I just love SlayerS!

Edit: Now I hope BoxeR gets more motivated!

Epic read fail by most posters. Comes to show that most communities just fail at reading and actually UNDERSTANDING shit that's been written.

Good to see that YellOw's thinking about being a part of SC2 - I don't care if it is as a player or coach, SC2 just needs those personalities, especially in Korea.

Wasn't that rather obvious after the show match? I mean, eventually all will either switch or retire imo. And most I believe cannot simply retire from gaming.

On this, Jessica said, "While I have been acting as BoxeR's agent, being his girlfriend meant that this was not a a big issue. However, acting as YellOw's agent has made me realise that eSports professionals need agents just like sports professionals for their own advancement. I hope that after myself as a starting point, at there will be an influx of agents from professional sports.

Awesome basically slayers has taken him in to train so he can get on his feet and then if he starts to succeed he could make a team centered around himself.

This is very nice of slayers, and it obviously benifits jessica and boxer as well. Sweeet im super excited especially with his new tv show.

This will surely spark more interest in starcraft 2 in korea, i have no doubt.

How is the title misleading? Has the same manager and can play with them for GSTL, has access to the same training(though it said he won't be in the house etc. so I dunno what that really means...). So I have to ask, how is the title misleading at all? He is CLEARLY part of the Slayers family

I'm really excited for YellOw, give him a few months and there is no doubt in my mind that he'll be a top dog in SC2.

Off topic but YellOw should make his own team called Mellow, the advertising practically writes itself.

I can't imagine him going through all of this and then end up barely practicing or dropping interest after a few weeks. I think he's too much of a professional and an ESPORTS athlete to let that happen.

Hopefully he'll pull some SC1 fans to SC2. I think this is mostly a precautionary signing of Yellow, in case he wants to get serious about the game some time in the future.

This is one of the best things that could happen to e-sports right now, especially after the loss of MBCGame and what seems like the gradual slip of BW's hold on the korean scene.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Blizzard and Kespa also reach some sort of agreement that might allow for other stations other than GOMTV rights to casting SC2?

if MLG remove the non-korean Code A. they might send yellow to MLG and just hope he get seeded in Code A, trying to qualify in Code qualifier A is hell.

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.

He is training with SlayerS, He isn't joining the team (yet?)... I think the title is fitting considering most everything he is gonna be learning will be from SlayerS.

Edit: and competing in GSTL with them if needed.

I don't believe Yellow is ever going to join the Slayers family truly, unless noone picks him up because of Jessica, which i doubt. From the implications from both DES and this topic, it seems like he is training with Slayers, then going to or creating his own team once he reaches pro level. Thats just what i got from both topics.

Even if the original article is exaggerated, it's great that Yellow is taking baby steps towards SCII. Hopefully, whatever relationship he settles on with Jessica as an 'agent' or 'helper' just gets him closer to beginning his SCII career.

Interesting, I guess this is a way for Yellow to be on slayers without being on slayers, I thought Boxer said it would be better if Yellow made his own team.

Well, Boxer was pulling so hard for Yellow to come over to SC2, I'm sure he's willing to help him out as much as he can.

This is great news, even if he won't be living with SlayerS, he will still be getting the benefit of SlayerS practice, next time I don't expect YellOw to lose so much to blueflame hellions now that he is in SlayerS house, he will get used to this build. ^_^;;;

Oh my god lol, I was starting to forget about the whole YellOw retirement ceremony thing when the new Lim Jin Rok popped up, and suddenly there's a new Nal_ra show for this guy, and now he's kind of sort of part of SlayerS? Awesome! I really want him to succeed in SC2, and maybe the 'ol Lim Jin rivalry can be reignited for real.

what is conflicting with this article?

this article clearly says yellow is not joining SlayerS.

Jessica is just yellow's agent and its a first for professional e-sports.

can someone clarify what this 'conflict' is?

Most likely people misinterpreting "SlayerS family" as "SlayerS team".

Maybe there's hope for amateurs after all.

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 ~_~

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!

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.

I'll tell you what, Slayers seem to be up and down a little these days, but they know the business side of things like no others. Jessica is an outstanding business coach.
