You're using ELO as your measurement. That doesn't really work. Do you also believe Polt to be > MVP, Naya and Life > July and Leenock, cOre > HongUn and HuK, and Gumiho > MMA? MC is still the top Protoss as the only Protoss to win a GSL (let alone twice). ELO has its uses, but it, like any other ranking system, it has its flaws.

With that said, you seem to have contradicted yourself in your last sentence. First you say, "Point is if slayers buys all the good players then we will be getting a team that wins every time.... Imagine if Flash, jaedong, bisu etc. were all in the same team". Then, you say "Also, the best players have to be winning to leave, and I doubt Nestea and MVP would". Yeah. Thus, your worries about SlayerS making a boring monopoly of all the best players are unfounded. Nestea and MVP aren't going anywhere.

The thing, for me at least, is SlayerS has shown that they have the ability to develop their own players (Min, Ryung, Alicia, MMA) while EG hasn't. It creates this notion that EG is just a weak team that buys success rather than cultivates it themselves.

Edit -

It's also been proven, by Taeja and Ganzi, that players who join SlayerS improve a lot. The opposite can be said for EG and their acquisitions (exception being PuMa and Huk since it's too early).
