They were mad that the best player (and foreigner) was leaving their favorite team to go to their less-favored team. Regardless of what people say, that is pretty much the sole reason why people reacted violently. In this case, a favorite acquired players, and therefore, there is a positive outlook. If EG acquired Axslav from Dignitas, it would be a 3 page thread. If Axslav was on TL and was doing well in the GSL and also a fan favorite, then you would get the exact same thing. Buying players is how ever sport works... why would this be different? Didn't know you were such an expert on people. And no, people just don't like how EG conducts business. Regardless of what people like you say  You say that buying players is how sports works... yet in many leagues have anti-tampering rules. The situations are different in the case of EG and SlayerS. EG did not technically do anything wrong, but what they did is exactly what most professional sports leagues prohibit. That's how this is different. | ||

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. This. NSH for example was completely unheard of at the time, and now they're one of the best teams in the league. There's plenty of Korean talent out there. | ||

Really how can you try and say what slayers did was different? You know nothing about how slayers got these aquisitions, all you know is they got the players. The only reason you know enough about EGs business to dislike them, is they were transparent and told the community what happened and how it went down, that's much more than the informaiton slayers has given. I'm a fan of both slayers and EG and like the aquisitions, but really how can you try and just say one is good and one is bad? It's just mind boggling that some people can make such wild claims with so little information. | ||

Nothing concrete, but it seems more and more likely that this is true. It seems like an official announcement is inevitable, especially after all this information has leaked out into the public. This NEXSickness post seems to be quite intriguing, and probably confirms that something is going on between SlayerS and ZeNEX. I eagerly await the official news. Puzzle is a beast, and would definitely have a mutually beneficial relationship with the Terran-heavy SlayerS team. | ||

Perhaps ZeNEX and Puzzle came to an agreement with SlayerS to send Puzzle over to further his training, along with CoCa, and then ZeNEX will sign two new up-and-coming players, one from Clan Zenith, and one from Clan NEX (Hopefully NEXSickness, also a Protoss). In a perfect world, I think this would be the case. ZeNEX has a huge talent pool to pull from in the two clans, where-as (I think) SlayerS is more "what we see is what they have" On a side note, I hope SlayerSCoCa can mentor SlayerSSleep and get even more intense vZ training for the SlayerS house, and Puzzle could do the same for Protoss. | ||

Sucks for ZeNex. They now have Byun and his puppy. That's about it. Maybe they can ask San nicely to come back. | ||

Nice Although I feel bad for Zenex lol, SlayerS might as well do a FXO and buy the whole team now, get Byun on their man SlayerS team and call the rest of Zenex their B-team (Jk's Zenex aren't ENTIRELY carried by Byun Puzzle and Coca ^_^) | ||
