Wow, playxp is clearly lacking in professionalism. On SlayerS part, it seems that they should have approached the manager and the coach. For ZeNex, the coach should've approached the manager (huh? why didn't he...) yet another big misunderstanding with no legal paper so... lulz

Good pickup for SlayerS, even if it causes them momentary drama.


Great pickup, SlayerS seem to have an amazing bunch of Ts now they may produce a ZvT master.


Probably not. Min and Yugioh are far from "ZvT masters" and CoCa is at best decent.

At least they now have a Protoss sniper that doesn't have to rely on 1/1/1?

Update: PlayXP posted an article stating that the player trade had not been finalised at the time the TIG article went to press. Apparently CoCa told ZeNEX he would be leaving the team on the 14th, and while this was being handled by ZeNEX they were told that he had moved to SlayerS on the 16th. SlayerS_Jessica first contacted ZeNEX on the 16th, and while discussions were ongoing the original article mentioned in OP went to press. Additional comments left on the article by NEX clan members state that while the head coach was informed the manager was not (which clearly is why he raged on Twitter, understandably so). Well the cards have now been fully dealt, let's see where they go from here...


Can a mod or OP starter put this in the OP, please?

Also, does this mean that Slayers approached Coca directly and struck a deal with him? Coca told Zenex he would be leaving on the 14th, and Jessica contacted them on the 16th.

Congratulations SlayerS, nice pickup there.

Am I the only one who has that feeling that SlayerS_Jessica actually is the ONLY Korean team manager who "get's" the business aspect? Sounds like ZeNex owner is pissed 'cause nobody asked for his permission. Seriously, Korean team managers/owners need some business training.

Well, let's just blame EG again...duh...

[edit]
Imagine a cooperation between SlayerS & EG - rage drama everywhere! Please EGAlex & SlayerS_Jessica make it happen! So many lulz

As far as i know there are no contracts between players and the team yet in SC2 Esport scene, everything is based on trust. Legally speaking players can act on their free will.

In my opinion, Coca has responsibility too to at least inform the team's owner that he is leaving, which he has absolute right to do so since there is no contract. However if the coach is the player's only communication channel to the boss. Then the coach will carry all the responsibility.

what can i say. i guess even the coaches and bosses are too busy practicing/laddering instead of having proper communication and run the team. Choya? Cella? TheWind? LOL all are decent part time players.

Sweet, great to see SlayerS adding some racial diversity to their lineup. I wonder if Coca will develop into a sick ZvT player given his practice partners...

I wish Boxer and Kim Ga-Yeon would steal ME instead. No drama there, and they would have made me happy for life, since I love them both.

Shame I suck at this game >.>

Ah, ZeNEX was really starting to improve, and Coca was a big part of that.

Still, I love SlayerS, and although they have lots of good players, they're mostly Terran. A more diverse lineup will help a lot.

Really confused by all this random player trade drama popping up, you'd think the Korean teams would have something worked out by now.

something tells me taeka might have made this happen.

also the zenex coachis probably still mad at taeja's team switch then all kill.

slayers just wanted someone to rep them at mlg raleigh is my guess is to why this happened.

Losers.

Generalization for the win.

w00t.

On topic, let's see if CoCa can beef up his ZvT. Playing against MMA's drops should prepare you for the worst situation possible.

rofl

another player with huge potential is on a team as an uncontracted practice partner with no pay or benefits, and then when this practice partner is offered a deal by a team who can appreciate them and help foster their growth, the first team who have kept him basically as a slave, for free, get pissed off.

Just like in the EG case, ZENex can f* off. Treat your player better and put them under contract if you want to avoid things like this from happening.

I was confused for a moment until noticed the coach and owner were not the same for ZeNEX. I think the Owner and coach got some talking to do.
