Anyways, awesome news for Slayers. Sad for ZeNEX but FXOBoSs already broke the news about their collapse a while ago. Baseball doesn't have a salary cap, and it operates the same way. Basketball has soft caps. Soccer has soft caps, what's your point? The point is, players move around. They go where the money is. A team has a responsibility to make their team better. Period. Just because there isn't enough money changing hands (yet) to need salary caps and agents and all that crap, doesn't mean the situations are different. It simply means the big ticket sports are at a level we aren't yet, but that doesn't mean we don't have to accept the business of things to get there. Again, you can't have it both ways. Either you want this to be a true professional sport, or you don't, and you want to continue to enforce this strange internet Bushido code of honor on the teams. | ||

Tampering and free agency rules exist within all major sports leagues. It's really not applicable to this situations anyways. Like Milkis said, it's nothing like the EG situations. | ||

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 . Rofl no bias against MC here.... | ||

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. So basically IM is the SKTT1 of the 08-09 season, and SlayerS is the CJ. | ||

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). don't forget alicia. He was just mass gaming and cheesing almost every game before he joined slayers. | ||

Good team picking up good player(s) is bad, so they can kill a team already having a hard time and create a situation where a smaller amount of teams can compete. Totally agree, this is much worse then the EG thing. This kind of trolling is so annoying. You don't have the right to take what other people say out of context. It is disrespectful to the people you are quoting and perfectly displays that you don't have a real argument to make. Grow up | ||

Or they're making it better by financially supporting these gosu players Although idk how if slayers offers salaries to their players, I'm sure the housing and practice is superior. | ||

Lol just realized this completes the cycle, of Slayers picking up one of each race from Zenex. Taeja, Coca, Puzzle. | ||
