As many of you are aware Golden left the team SlayerS couple of days ago (You can read more about this here : Click)
Basically he left the team to join the foreign Starcraft 2 scene which I hope he does make it. He had written a long hearty letter to SlayerS on PlayXP and I decided to bring it over to TL since some untruthful words were going around TL.
(T/N : Sleep also expressed that what ex Fnatic manager Xeris said about Sleep demanding $1500/month is not true - I hope this helps the clear out some issues)
Here is the letter translated, the original letter can be found on Here (T/N : Since this is such a long letter, I didn't check for the grammar and spelling errors so please forgive me for that) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
![[image loading]](http://photonews.paran.com/newsphoto/2010/11/17/gm/gm2010111675_0.jpg) (Golden in Open Season 3)
Dear. SlayerS Family
A lot of things had happened since I transferred into SlayerS in December couple of years ago. We have won GSTL, not just once but twice and I had an opportunity to show my games in the finals. And eating the most luxurious food that I have never tried before during the team dining out sessions.. Riding in a limo for the first time in my life.. Wearing the team uniform with so many sponsor logos.. There are many other valuable experiences that I had but now I leave SlayerS because of my own decision.
In the last month, I gave a lot of thoughts staying in SlayerS or moving to the foreign scene and it seems that the direction that I chose is towards the foreign scene. I would have loved to say good-bye in person to every single one of you by visiting the team house but Jessica was so considerate that the team house is too far away for me to visit so I now write this letter instead.
First of all, to Cella who used to be a manager now is a playing coach. When Coach Sung had to leave the job and you are the man who stood up to replace him out of no where! We all underestimated you at the start (All I could think was Cella going Holy Check!) but a week later.. you gave us the first GSTL win because you only slept 2-3 hours a day analyzing the opponent team. You work so hard where everybody is not looking so you don't get enough recognition Q_Q but I do believe that your days are coming some day!
Also to Ryung.. You are one of the best 3 when it comes to the closest bro (T/N : Hyung) I had in SlayerS.. You were always good with my pranks and jokes.. You even let me use your bed without telling me off much because I couldn't be bothered to unfold my own bed (although you didn't let me burrow your pillow after one certain event lol) Although you are along with invisible line of the team because of MMA's success, I hope that you will get back into Code S soon.
Also to Ganzi.. when we had an internal tournament, you were too easy to win so I doubted whether you had BW background or not.. but one month later.. you became unbeatable -_-.. I thought he was one of those strict and scary person but he has a warm heart that he doesn't express. (He asked me if I was feeling ok because I had to leave the team house due to my personal reasons) I hope you win GSL this year!
Also Yugioh.. The first impression of you was that you came from another dimension just like me.. and still you do seem to be from a different dimension. Although that you got knocked out to Code A RO48, I believe that you can go back upto Code S like how you did in the last season.
And Min, although you are not living in the team house at the moment, you are more like my biological brother than anyone else. Because of my habit, I mix Banmal (T/N : The way you speak to the same age group) and Jondetmal (T/N : The way you speak to older people, considered to be bit more respectful) and you said you didn't care because you said I sounds like your own little brother talking to you. When something bad happens to me you are the first one to worry for me. Although I didn't really say how much I like and appreciate you, I hope that you realize that I really like you! ^.^
Also Teaja.. I am jealous that you had the Super Save..
Puzzle! You make any accounts into top 10 GM, you are really good but I wonder why you can't make into the semi finals!. I believe that you are going to have good results soon. Also stop cannon rushing, Zergs are dying out because of that!
Also Dear. Alicia. When my parents asked me "who are you best friends within the team" I didn't even have to think for a second to answer "Alicia". In the early internal team league, we used to argue that we are going to finish with 4:0 but we always ended up getting 2:2 every time. He made through into Code A out of nowhere and now we are in a totally different position. I used to still make fun of him that he only made 700,000 KRW even after breaking through but now he made more than 10,000,000 KRW that he is untouchable. When he got into Code S, you came to me and made fun of me by saying "You Code B! I Code S!".. We were like Tom and Jerry.. When I was stressed while practising I relieved stressed while hanging around with Alicia. I am really sad that times like that will not be happening again Q_Q.. Oh by the way, I do know how to ride bicycles
And to Ven.. We are both pretty shy and didn't really talk too much but you always poked me first and started joking around. When we meet again we should try to be good friends!
Also Miya! You didn't play the game for a long time but you are so good. I was jealous as Zerg player. You are the cheerful clown in the team house and you joke about Warp Prism (T/N : Sexual jokes can be made with the Korean pronunciation) and how "KOREA IS NOT EASY TO LIVE!". You always pulled out witty jokes.. When I left the team you asked me over Messenger "Golden, where do I need to go to visit you Q_Q" and come down to Incheon to see me
Also Brown. A person who gave a strong piece of his mind to me. After I got knocked out in the qualifiers by Leenock who won MLG straight after and the runner up in the next GSL. As I was watching Leenock and said "Ahh so that's how I lost to him in the qualifiers", you told me "That's not what you should be thinking about instead you should thinking about being there" he set my mind up straight and I will remember that forever!
And Crank, he plays way too good for a player who played for 6 months.. he was also good with my jokes. When the games didn't work out well for us, we used to say together "Play as we are not in SlayerS! We are the After School and Orange Caramel - hidden units of SlayerS". Although games aren't working out well for us, I am sure we will see each other in GSL.
Also MMA. The big brother in the team and also my mentor. The excellent self control and mind control you have is why you are the champion. When I look down and blue you listen to my worries thoroughly.. You are good at sports as well as the game and it was my honour to meet the perfect guy. If you have one down side..... you have the same down side that I have.. lol (T/N : Height)
And Eve. When everyone was sleeping and I had nobody to talk to, you listened to my problems over Messengers. I thought you were a cold person at first but after knowing you for a while you are very kind and we share many interests which I liked! Although there are many difficulties I hope to see you in GSTL like you wish to!
Clide.. Gosu of mimicking.. I want to say thank you for helping me to practise and I liked many jokes of yours including the one "Golden, wanna hang around playing SC2?" I hope you make back into Code S.
Also Coach Ryu. You rated my highly even though I didn't have good results, you always put confidence in my spirit. Although all team members are giving you a bit of awful jokes but I want you to know that we all think of you very highly! Also I have watched you playing Pro Evolution Soccer (T/N : Winning Eleve Series) and I think you play it the best.
Also to the big brother, BoxeR.. I want to apologize to you before writing anything else. I felt mighty just because I was in the same team with you. You like Soccer so much and that you forced to draft me onto the field so I find soccer interesting. You even gave me a double bonus point every time I scored (later on, he doubled it again, 4 points per a goal). The next time I see you, I promise that I will be better at soccer so I won't be needing these special bonus points. I always found it impressive that you are the always the last one to finish to practise and analyze the opponents. You made an amateur gamer into a pro gamer and I really thank you.
Also to Jessica. When I first came into the team and I was really proud of myself when you called me a 'son'. I know that you are always tired but you slept less to spend more time for the team, it was really heart touching. In the mid-last year when I had to leave the team house because of my health, I paid back the money that I owed you (a train ticket fee to the country side to attend a tournament) but then you suddenly rushed up as the elevator doors were closing and gave me that money back so I couldn't reject it. As you waved at me after that, it was so emotional for me.. That incident became the strength of me when I came back home 'I need to practise to harder to pay back for that' I guess that I hadn't paid back and I only took what SlayerS offered me as they were granted and I am really sorry. You are the best, Jessica.
I guess I won't be able to meet all you people with the name tag of SlayerS_Golden, but I hope that we meet again in the near future.
SlayerS Hwaiting!

Wow, really touching letter. It seems that the house had a great atmosphere going and it's a real shame that he left, but his feelings about wanting a foreign team must be very strong for him to give up such a strong connection with all the players..
Thanks for the translation.
|
Very cute note, glad to see he left on such a positive note.
|
|
Who can actually say something bad about Jessica : )
I was so touched when I read Jessica's part lol
|
Golden is so awesome! I really hope the best for him!
Thanks for translating!
|
I'm happy to see he left on good terms. He's a good player, and should have good results on foreign tournaments. Good luck.
|
This is so touching, i really hope golden can find a good team to play on
|
You can really get a sense of team Slayer's being much more than just a team. Makes it all that more awesome when they kick ass in team league. GL to Golden with his future in starcraft.
|
Dawww ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
Does the Taeja Super Save mean Taeja winning for Boxer in the up downs, or is it something else entirely?
|
Wow, that is a really touching letter. I wish him the best.
|
This how everything I feel is suppose to be when you leave a team of yours, well said Sleep!

Yes I think it is referring to him saving BoxeR : P
|
golden and slayerS, good luck to the both of you.
|
This has brought me to tears.
|
He must really want to get his feet in the foreign scene to leave such a caring team.

Really sweet letter, hope golden will be able to find a team soon
|
Thanks for the translation. It is nice to read about some of the internal dynamics of a Korean team such as SlayerS.
|
omgthisissocute *-*
SlayerS family fighting! Golden fighting!
|
So nice. T_T. SlayerS are the perfect team, nothing ever goes wrong or nobody has anything bad to say about anybody. I hope Golden finds the team he wants and is very successful with his future endeavors into SC2.
|
What a great letter.... I'll be rooting for you, hipster!! I hope this makes people stop saying that Slayers kicked him out or something =.=
|
This is how you part ways with a team. Class to the very end.
|
Some interesting comments from PlayXP
Crack : You made me sign up to this website
Mentalist : Oh wow, real cheesy for real, nah jks
Cella : Someone would think this is the end of the world
MVP_Genius (fake one) : lol
MVP_Genius : Stop stealing my identity before I crash you like DRG
Soulman : Stop trolling
|
|
I wouldn't be surprised if a foreigner team picks him up pretty soon! He is a really skilled player
|
Golden so awesome . GL!!
|
Man slayers truly feels more of like a family than a team.
Totally respect slayers even more
|
Awww Hope everything works out for Golden

awesome letter, thanks for translating it!
|
What a stark contrast to the TSL situations of late! I'm not the biggest SlayerS fan, but this truely is a testament to what a close knit and well run team team is. Reminds me a lot of HuK's letter to liquid, truely genuine in intent despite the reason for leaving.
Much respect to Golden and SlayerS
|
what a sweet letter! can't imagine what would ever motivate one to leave that house. even if you're not making money right now, seems priceless in terms of training opportunities and just being around legends 24/7. best of luck to golden
|
The letter is really cool off course. But I really don't like 'midtier' Koreans leaving for foreign teams. I would be really surprised if a TOP foreign team would want to pick him up since they are usually only interested in the big names.
Don't get me wrong I hope everything turns out well, but it feels like a really big risk that might turn out to be the wrong choice.
|
Awww <3 slayers and golden fighting! hi hipster!

Cute letter. Seems like the SlayerS team is truly a "team" in every sense of the word. Good luck!

I don't doubt that at all. But most foreign teams that are interested in signing Koreans sign the 'top' Koreans. That's why it feels like a big risk to just leave ur team and hope u get signed by a foreign team. Assuming that he isn't contacted by a team yet.

I'd suggest liquid_golden if it wasn't for all the golden_liquid jokes that would arise.

What a lovely letter, SlayerS seems like such a great family to each other =)
Golden and SlayerS fighting!
|
Why post such a thing publicly, though, unless you want to be praised by fans for it?
Won't it be even more meaningful if it was private, between the player and his former team?
|
What a great goodbye note. This just adds to what I see from their twitter and facebook photos, SlayerS isn't just a team, it's a family.
Good luck to Golden in the future.
|
Wow T.T Amazing letter, and what an amazing "family". GL Golden!

Won't it be even more meaningful if it was private, between the player and his former team? Some people want to not just share the love and care they have for others with those people alone, but also want everyone to know how they feel.
When you're just engaged, don't you run off telling everyone? You don't keep it to yourself to somehow make it more meaningful...

Why would any public figures apologize about their mistakes to the media, wouldn't it be more meaningful if it was private? A totally irrelevant comment. This letter advertised the team whether Golden intended or not, that is a good thing for the team.
You seem to be looking at things in a negative way.

Why did HuK post a letter like this when he left TL? Because it's nice and it lets you sympathize with everyone.

That was so sad ;_; I hope he returns someday. What a touching, heartfelt, and sincere letter.

b'dawwwwwwwwww
I love Golden and all of SlayerS

so cute, you could say this is golden. Anyone... guys?... okay..

Thanks for translating, certainly put a smile on my face and a tear in my eye, in a good way. Too rare that that happens.
|
|
oh man. i bet there was golden showers of tears.
|
I was a mod on goldens stream for a few days when he used to stream daily. He would respond to every person that asked him a question and was very nice to everyone. He even would translate everything if he didnt understand it. He is a great guy and I hope he achieves great things.
|
T_T so cute! SLAYERS HWAITING
|
Great closure to the issue!
Abit of a sidetrack but I find it interesting that Coca was not mentioned. Probably didnt have much opportunities to integrate with the team due to the ban shortly after he transfered to Slayers. I wonder if he actually got any chance to practice at the teamhouse? A very promising player and I hope things go well for him.
|
Thanks for translating. Really sounds like SlayerS cares about their players, maybe that is their key to success. Best of luck to Golden in his future endeavors.
|
This is really awesome, thanks for translating <3
|
Golden seems like a very nice guy, so cute.
|
Lol this is actually quite informative about the Slayers players : )
GL in the future Golden^^
|
Golden is such a nice guy... Good luck to him. Its nice to get a feel of where hes coming from and to get a feel for the different personalities of his former team. I found it really interesting.
|
T.T I am now a fan of Golden. I wish him all the best in the future.
|
Thanks so much for translating. My best wishes for Golden, hope you find a new team and keep fighting!
|
wat a great goodbye letter, really well done
|
Man, someone is chopping onions in my room. Golden fighting!
|
|
"I would have loved to say good-bye in person to every single one of you by visiting the team house but Jessica was so considerate that the team house is too far away for me to visit so I now write this letter instead."
Was I the only one going "what the hell???" at this?
Good luck in the future Golden.
|
Awwww~ <3 makes me love slayers more
It really is nice to see that someone can leave a team without creating ruckus and furor -.-
|
Its hard to imagine that he left after reading that.. gl to golden.
|
Very cute letter ><
I love the Slayers family environment and I'm really jealous of it too....
and it must be great to have the Mother of Slayers calling you her son
|
Hmmm interesting for him to leave a team that he seems to care so much about and have so much deep connection to. SlayerS seems to have a really deep connection with one another and Boxer has formed a family not just a team.
|
Nearly made me cry. That's so damn weird.
|
(All I could think was Cella going Holy Check!)
YeS!!! Holy Check!!! lolz
|
It's very nice to see such cordial and polite partings among all the dramatic separations we have been seeing recently (and more are coming). Very classy and touching. Wishing good luck to Golden in the future.
|
LOL i am laughing my ass off at cryingpoo's accent.
|
This is how partings should be, timely and respectful.
|
Best of luck to Golden. See you later Hipster
|
Fuuuck, my heart hnnnngggggg
SlayerS seems to be as close to a family as a team can get ;_;
|
That was beautiful. All of it was just so good. Slayers is a true family team.

Its so touching, GL to him I really wish he gets picked up by a team quickly, hes so solid.
|
So sweet, glad to see one separation without drama surrounding it.
|
So sad that Golden chose to leave. He sounded like he really liked the team atmosphere.
|
|
See? Roster changes don't always have to be filled with drama.
|
I'll be keeping track of you! Keep streaming! Thankfully, he'll surely keep in contact with members from SlayerS and practise with them sometimes, but then that could be difficult if he moves. Does Golden intend to stay in Korea but with a foreign team, or am I correct in thinking he intends to move too?
<- Golden Hipster forever ^_^-"
|
Liquid`Gold!!! haha I don't really think Liquid would pick up, if anyone would be EG, but awesome tag ^^
edit: woops, forgot to say how nice the letter was... the letter was very nice/heartwarming/touching
|
Very touching. GL golden !
|
awww...Slayer is really like a family. When are we going to see aLive's letter to TSL?

This is why SlayerS is the best korean team out of all other teams! We will miss you Golden! SlayerS Hwaiting!!!!
|
Very heart touching and cute! ^_^ I like the way he speaks.
|
Golden is adorable ♥♥ best of luck to him
|
Nice to see something positive amongst all the drama and negativity that happens a lot in the community.
I dunno how to feel about so many Koreans going to foreigner teams(or at least trying) I mean I am not one of those guys who only watch foreigners but it really worries me that foreigner teams will just try to get Koreans instead of giving local talent a chance
|
I love Golden and I'll always be his fan. No matter where he goes or what he does.
|
What a nice leaving letter from Golden. Nice to see this situation have no drama unlike all the other shit going on. I wish Golden success in whatever team he is in!

I'm imagining Boromir right now
One does not simply leave SlayerS...... unless IM comes calling =P
|
This is one of the best things I have read in awhile.
|
No byun/coca?  Good read though, it's hard to judge what the progamers are actually like from just their games and gsl appearances.
|
|
T_T so good
you code b! i code s!
|
such a good letter, Golden
|
THIS IS WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN WHEN PPL LEAVE TEAMS NOT LIKE TSL! -on the other hand very nice letter. Touching! :D
|
He is crazy for leaving slayers, I hope he won't regret it!
|
Ah what a sweety. Hope he does well in foreign events. Nice kid.
|
This is a man of great respect, and deserves nothing less of respect. Good luck to Golden in the future. Hope he finds another home
|
So amazing! Thanks for translating this. The team really does seem like a family, and it is great to get a glimpse of it.
|
Thank you so much for translating this, now time for me to grab a tissue. This was just ... so touching.
Golden Hwaiting!
|
(T/N : Sleep also expressed that what ex Fnatic manager Xeris said about Sleep demanding $1500/month is not true - I hope this helps the clear out some issues)
Yo, xeris. Could you explain this?
|
Oh this makes me so sad =( The SlayerS house really does seem like just a huge family
|
my favorite part is the boxer thing, such a mentor.

arent huk and idra living there too atm? How come they dont get a line

Wow... so heartfelt I'm really hoping for Golden's success in the near future with a foreign team now even more. SlayerS definitely has the closest team I'd really have to say after reading this and it's no wonder why so many of their players are so good.
|
Really awesome wonder if I never told golden and sleep about the TL thread if this would ever be posted. I told him people thought he (golden) because how "greedy" other people said sleep and killer was.

does anyone have a tissue?
... no shut up im not crying i, i, just got something in my eye

that was really really really really really really really really cute!!

Well, this makes me love team SlayerS even more, and I feel bad for not paying enough attention to Golden's games (he streamed too right?). The small insight into several of the players is really special for us fans to see.
I also can't help but feel Tasteless would find a new love for Puzzle, too:
Also stop cannon rushing, Zergs are dying out because of that!
|
Golden is awesome. Best of luck to you!
|
I love these player goodbye letters. They always bring a tear to my eye, and especially from a Korean player... You guys always seem so cool and calm that I forget that you've got these kinds of emotion bubbling underneath that calculated exterior.
I'll still be a fan wherever you go, Golden.
|
that was a really great goodbye letter

golden is so awesome :D really great letter, gl to golden in the future

Chopped onions ;_;
Chopped onions as far as the eye can see.
With all the drama in the scene, it is really refreshing to see such a heart-felt, sincere letter. I wish more players could write similar things, as the world of esports is ultimately bound together by friendship and camaraderie.

Thank you so much for posting the translation of this. Pretty sure Golden's fan base just skyrocketed. That was so adorable and generally endearing <3 I hope Golden does well in the foreign scene! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <-- how that letter made me feel. So heart warming.

+ Show Spoiler +And Eve. When everyone was sleeping and I had nobody to talk to, you listened to my problems over Messengers. I thought you were a cold person at first but after knowing you for a while you are very kind and we share many interests which I liked! Although there are many difficulties I hope to see you in GSTL like you wish to!
Possible hint of Eve playing in GSTL soon? I hope so!
|
I'm happy the players in Slayers left on good terms unlike TSL players.
|
This is why i <3 slayers. You read stuff like this and get all emotional and say... this... this is how it should be.
|
It seems like the pro teams are very volatile right now, everytime I come onto TL there is another big player either moving teams or leaving.
|
What an awesome letter, some light in what many would call a darker period in the esports scene. I wish him luck in finding what he wants, and I'll continue to root for SlayerS in every team league!
|
So cool to read. SlayerS sounds like a fantastic environment to be in.
|
who wouldnt want to see eve in the GSTL?
|
A really nice letter that Golden put a lot of soul into I hope he does well for himself wherever he goes. Slayers house seems like it has a great atmosphere no wonder they pull together during Team leagues.
Thanks for the effort to translate as well! was a nice read
|
This touched my nerd heart. GL to Golden!
|
that was the first esports thing i've read that nearly made me cry. good luck Golden!
|
SlayerS = the Superheroes of eSports. Sounds like his leaving was a brutal decision and one he must be really committed to. Best of luck to Golden in all things he does.
|
This just strengthens the image I have of SlayerS as a team but also a family. They take care and look out for eachother and i'ts and awesome atmosphere.
BoxeR can do it all. Be a champion, get a hot wife AND make an awesome team.
|
what a sweet letter. slayers is literally more than a team. this proves theyre such a tightly-knit family
|
Wow thats actually pretty touching Seems more like a family then a team, goodluck wherever you go golden!
|
Nawww Golden and Eve would make a great couple

Yes, IdrA said in the interview that Golden was no longer in the house when they got there.
|
Gotta love the hipster Golden fighting!!
|
Being from a different dimension is similar to the saying from a different world or planet.
I wish I could talk to Eve late at night. :[
|
T.T
touching. gl in the future golden!
|
He was up the one who tore up team arena yeah?
Really hope he does well in future. Iirc he was the zerg who tried to proxy hatch and queen on steppes,of war. He messed it up though
|
Nice read, i like golden alot
|
A really nice letter to SlayerS. Glad to see that he left on good terms and hope for the best for him in the future.

We could really use a few more Hearty letters. Sounds pirate-y. I love reading these little snap shots of how the team's culture has developed.
|
After thinking about the Draconian conditions in the TSL house, this actually made my morning.
SlayerS fightiiiiiiiiiiing!
|
|
House of Boxer!! So nice to hear.
|
|
I personally think this is the best things players should do, so much positive light on the teams and the players.
|
Nice kid. Hope he does well on the enxt team.
|
This is a huge tell of how awesome SlayerS is as a team. I love the fact that they actually consider themselves as a family. It would be hard to say anything bad about them. Good luck to Golden!
|
Amazing write up, *teardrop* i hope you will do alot of your decission!
|
I think you mean "heartfelt" rather than "hearty". Nice letter though, and thanks for the translation...
|
ahhhh this is why i love slayers
gl golden
|
This is so touching... seriously, I love SlayerS because they are just way different from other teams, in a good way. They truly seem like a family. Wishing the best to Golden & SlayerS <3 :')
|
SlayerS - More than a team.
|
Beautiful, wonderful text! ;_;
|
Great letter! Best of luck Golden!
|
|
|
what a heartwarming letter, cant imagin how much slayers must be a family for all the players....
|
Awesome letter Golden!! Oh man I love SlayerS so much.
|
Wait a minute? Someone left a team and there is no drama involved? What is happening?
|
Great way to say goodbye.
TSL take note!
|
Bah how can anyone leave slayers. such a family...
|
Great letter. You can see that Slayers is really like a family

Won't it be even more meaningful if it was private, between the player and his former team?
In doing so we all now know that they left on good terms as to for example Coach Lees situations or other teams
|
Just wish all teams could be as caring as SlayerS! 
Best of luck to Golden with his future! :D

Oh, I forgot about the super tournament. That was so long ago, I thought it was something recent.

|
A really nice letter from Golden, also tells something about the harmony in the Slayers house
|
Epic letter, sounds like SlayerS is a really nice place to be. 
Love how Jessica sounds like a mother, haha. Golden is a fucking boss and he gets my support wherever he ends up!
|
LOL. I come back from work to find shit flying all over the SC2 eSports scene and find this gem...
Can we have more of THIS kind of drama please?
This is what good management and leadership achieves, folks...
|
Aww what a heartfelt and warm letter. I wish him all the best The Slayers team sound amazing!
|
wow cute. seems like slayers is a big family.
|
awesome letter! thank you for the translation! :D
wishing you the best, golden! gogogo!
and keep rocking on, slayers!
|
Awesome read. That was a genuinely touching letter. Golden is one of the slayers guys I knew the least about, but seems like a great kid.
I'm a huge Slayers fan, and reading something like this only reinforces that
And thanks for the translation!
|
Glad that he found a team so quickly. (Bet he was already talking !)
|
|
"I liked many jokes of yours including the one "Golden, wanna hang around playing SC2?"
cool joke bro
|
Glad everything worked out. I think Slayers is a great team and tbh it's all been confirmed by this letter. Boxer+Jessica taking care of the kids.
|
Love to see when players leave teams on good terms.
|
Really nice to see things like this in eSports. Such a great community.
|
Respect to all of them. Golden being awesome right there!
