The irony is that PvP is the only matchup that Alicia doesn't need help with :p I feel bad for ZeNex, but Slayers is doing a good job of getting all my favorite players in one place. Makes picking who to root for that much easier. | ||

Snatching their best players left and right must be unbearable for ZeNex... | ||

- CoCa: ZvP specialist who's been improving his other match-ups - Puzzle: strong Protoss all around - Ganzi: TvT specialist, above average TvZ and 1/1/1 TvP - MMA: TvZ specialist, above average TvT, mediocre TvP - Alicia: decent in PvP but lately has been slumping in the Era of 1/1/1 - Ryung: TvT specialist, above average TvZ, mediocre TvP - Taeja: Very strong all around with a focus on TvP and TvT - Boxer: Don't need to explain this one ... Shame for ZeNEX though. Wonder if they'll fold. | ||

Damn SlayerS has an impressive roster though. So much talent on 1 team. Does not compute. | ||

I'm not saying he isn't good but the guy i quoted more or less said he was better than MC and that MC will slump in the same way Fruitdealer did. You gotta admit that that is pretty much just bullshit, right? Lets look at the last 2 seasons of gsl, anything prior to that is kind far away, nasl didn't have the top players except puma,alive and july, iem only had puma, so those aren't a good way to go about it. Puzzle: GSL July Puzzle wins code A by defeating big names like MMA, Tassadar and happy. Didn't lose a single map until the final against Tassadar! August Puzzle goes to the playoffs loses to ryung, when he is deciding joining the team of his opponent, you could see how friendly they were after the game. Doubt he was focusing on the game as much as switching teams, so there is always that excuse. MC: July MC loses to a guy with an injured wrist. August Goes to up and down. Btw he played awful against fenix on gstl, missing easy force-fields etc . | ||

I mean, you have the argument that IM is the best team in the world, but when they're basically three heavyweights carrying the entire team, I dunno. Whereas SlayerS now has the following: - CoCa: ZvP specialist who's been improving his other match-ups - Puzzle: strong Protoss all around - Ganzi: TvT specialist, above average TvZ and 1/1/1 TvP - MMA: TvZ specialist, above average TvT, mediocre TvP - Alicia: decent in PvP but lately has been slumping in the Era of 1/1/1 - Ryung: TvT specialist, above average TvZ, mediocre TvP - Taeja: Very strong all around with a focus on TvP and TvT - Boxer: Don't need to explain this one ... Shame for ZeNEX though. Wonder if they'll fold. Don't forget Min. Although arguably one of the weaker SlayerS members, he has had some strong performances, such as in the Super Tournament when he knocked out July and Genius. However, he has had a huge problem with nerves, which has led to some very bad decision-making that has cost him games (notably his games vs theBest in the Super Tournament). Teammates claim that he is a strong player in practice, but is handicapped by nerves. | ||

All this talk of nurturing vs. buying, it's bush league. Anyone who follows big money sports realizes you need to do BOTH to build a successful team. You need to nurture some players, you need to buy some players. The best teams in any sport work on the "motivated talent wins" mentality. Whether that talent is homegrown or free agent becomes irrelevant, provided it's motivated talent (which is why you have to do so much personality evaluation before you hand someone millions of dollars). It's kind of funny, because people hate on EG for signing great players to make themselves better, yet if EG were an NFL team they would be getting (rightly) praised for trying to improve their team. As I've said in other posts, you guys can't have it both ways. Either you want this to be a professional business and grow, or you don't. Pick one. | ||

Anyways, awesome news for Slayers. Sad for ZeNEX but FXOBoSs already broke the news about their collapse a while ago. | ||
