Dragon did not lie. He changed his mind. He said he'll try to join a foreign team for another month, not that he's been searching for a month.

As I understand the back story, Dragon was caught stream cheating during a tournament back in 2010. Kicked off of Werra for it / publicly apologized / claimed to retire as penance (not sure on the order of things exactly).

Then as a teamless player he qualifies for GSL Open 3, loses to Nestea in the Ro64. There's a huge outcry over him breaking his 'never competing again' promise. Mr Chae even has to make a statement about why they let him compete at all.

Fast forward, apparently he joins Slayers saying he's just playing for fun. He gets the competing itch again and tells Slayers, I'm leaving to focus on my job, while instead looking for a foreign team.

Of course he played for Slayers in IPL TAC and was on the actual team (not clan); so they knew he wasn't done competing, but still he didn't play much, so maybe they thought he was just semi-pro. Or maybe they were keeping him on a short leach like they did Coca after his scandal. Either way, they took a risk taking on someone that was 'damaged goods' and rehabilitating his rep (no controversies about his playing for Slayers I believe) and he doesn't even give them a straight answer for leaving.

Thanks for the time line bro,

Jessica should take some courses on PR

Her business sense is amazing but holy shit does she handle these situations poorly

Says the guy who got kicked out of EG cause of bad manners?

Like the admin said, let's not discuss the orb issue in this thread. What he said about Jessica isn't necessarily wrong, considering that she didn't really seemed to have thought about what non-Koreans would have thought about her tweets. Furthermore, people who make mistakes (orb in this case) still have the ability to see them on others.

It makes a lot of sense. You can tell that the Slayers team is more like a family, and that even though Dragon was a streamcheater, they accepted him as one of their own and kept him with them. Then, he leaves saying he intends to focus on work and leave the e-sports zone forever. However, this was not the case, as his stream led to his immense fame and popularity with the western crowd. Then he comes back into the scene signed on with a new team, has no mention of his previous statements, and slides on in, with people shouting with joy. There at least could have been a letter of acknowledgement or information or something to the Slayers team that he started out with. Hell, maybe they would have even accepted him back onto the team. But no, no mention of anything, it's all in the past. Maybe that's what hurts Jessica the most. The fact that he comes back on Millenium, while Jessica still considered him part of her family.

jessica has no fucking class at all. such a drama queen, always and always. she and coach lee should start a team dedicated to making mountains out of molehills and causing drama whenever possible.

LOL 3xposter, obvious troll, and just a warning! The post had some hidden merit I suppose?.. a nugget of wisdom lacking in presentation?

Well anyway... Does anyone find this whole "mom" mentality a bit unsettling? Golden just wanted to get away from the stress of having another mother! What a nightmare. Nagging at home and nagging at work, enough to drive any man insane. It's no wonder Dragon lied. I lie to my mom all the time to keep from disappointing her!! What did Jessica expect?

i think though you don't really understand proteams in Korea that well.

The "mom" mentality has to be there in pro teams. Because you have a number of young people who has moved to the house from their homes, generally this is their first time away from home and living somewhere else. The coaches and managers have to act like parents sometimes because of the age of the players.

Jessica is refering to that role as being a mother to the players. Making sure they are taken care of, making sure they get the same love and support they would get at home. Maybe that is (in your opinion) nagging, but the players need it if they want to be at their best. If the coaches and managers didn't care, then we would not see some players do nearly as well as they are.

One of the reasons I think SlayerS is doing so well is because of Jessica. She takes care of everyone like their her sons. She makes sure everyone is at their best and fufills their potential.

of course when she does get lied to, it cuts a bit deeper than it would if she didn't care as much. but she does care, and thats a good thing. Teams with coaches and managers who don't care often do not succed.
