Whoever said Taeja is bad is terribly wrong, hes in the semifinals of Code A this season and has TWO All-Kills in the GSTL


Thank you I came here to say that.

I would love to see Puzzle go to Slayers, they really need a strong protoss and Puzzle is an incredible player. gogo puzzle!

The comparison of SlayerS to EG is completely ridiculous. SlayerS has 3 of their homegrown players in Code S, and three of them in Code A (BoxeR is out, but he was in Code A this season by qualifying legitimately, so it makes sense to count him). What does EG have?

Notable Homegrown players:

SlayerS: MMA, Alicia, Ryung, BoxeR, Taeja, Ganzi
EG: Idra, Incontrol

Incontrol isn't anywhere close to any of those SlayerS players I listed, and I'm not sure where IdrA stands, but I highly doubt he's at the level of any of those SlayerS players I listed either. Maybe BoxeR a while ago, but it seems that BoxeR has improved a ton, so I don't know about that anymore. On homegrown players alone, EG could only dream of being even a fraction of the team that SlayerS is. The difference is that EG felt like a team that didn't have any good players (by good, I mean Korean good, with IdrA being the only player that can hope to come close), so they went and bought some good ones. SlayerS feels like an already extremely powerful team (2 wins in the GSTL, 3 players in Code S (two who advanced from their group 2-0), 2 in the Code A semifinals) adding even more strong players to their roster. The difference is huge. One is a team that is, by international standards, pretty weak. The other is a team that is, by international standards, incredibly strong.


I wouldn't count either Idra or Ganzi as homegrown. Ganzi was on IM and Idra was the best non-Korean player in the world when EG acquired him.

And the comparison isn't that SlayerS is EG, but that they are becoming like them, which is certainly the direction all teams are headed towards considering all the good players are already on teams.

Actually i saw this one coming, if true. When i herd that Slayers picked up Coca, i thought at that point i would have also made a lot of since (if not more sense) to pick up another good Protoss. As im actually not aware of Slayers having any good Protoss past Alicia. ( Tiffiany? Brown?)

Even before Coca, they had more Z than P. Golden, Yughio, Min, Cella (kinda).

I guess one more player won't make a big difference, however Slayers is so frickin HUGE right now. How many players do they have on their roster? Im Glad that they are trying to get a more rounded team. Though they just have so many players, its all most too many at this point.

man, demuslim broked his arm and recovering like a year from it. EG has nothing to do about it, still they support him for all this time. Also he is really strong now. So don't talk sh!t

Hmm, if Puzzle leaves then ZeNeX disbanding might actually happen. I'm not sure what will happen in the GSTL though.

I am VERY dissapointed in Slayers. They should create their own baby instead of stealing another's child.

Idra was never close to Boxer's level. Every time before they faced each other. Idra always said he would crush Boxer or Korean, but the results were 2:0 for Boxer every meeting.

Here's to hoping it doesn't happen, as ZeNeX has been doing pretty well, but if they did leave the GSTL after this season, that would open up a spot for EG =P

if ZeNEX dies, GOM probably won't be able to field enough teams for GSTL. They are barely able to with the foreigners making up the the majority of f.united team. ZeNEX had a nice lineup of byun, puzzle, and coca... why slayers have to ruin that

Slayers have a 26 player roster atm, cmon lol

Actually, there are other Korean teams that not many people know. During the Code A qualification, there were a couple interviews with players from those "unknown" teams; and they even have team house and many of their players are on KR GM. One of the players interviewed mentioned that he quit his salary job for full time starcraft training at his team house. Even Wolf said something about those teams during casting.
