I don't understand, this feels like EG is tagging along with SlayerS and smacking their sticker on their boat, maybe putting forth some EG guys once in a while. Seems like a great "in" for EG (experience bonus galore), but also seems like it'll marginalize SlayerS players who would otherwise play, but are replaced by some foreigners ....... with money. That's what I don't get, what have SlayerS got to gain from this, apart from making friends with some evil gingers, and their ~genius~ fans?

Is tons of money, which seems to abduct all promising players from other teams (oh hi there PUMA), the sweet smelling glue that gets SlayerS to agree? What else could it be?!? [No accusations, I just can't think of any other logical explanation.]

Here's some history guys: once bought from their old teams, former stars GoRush, Nal_Ra (July too, but he then went to get a golden mouse, so not really) and Action never really did well. Likewise, KT(F) in Brood War was notorious for buying all the best players, but for some reason they didn't have the same dominance when it came to league championships.
What I'm trying to say is, to make a good team, simply buying the good players won't be enough. Sometimes you need some re-vitalizing with new blood, ok fine, but you're in trouble if you focus too much on your by-gone stars instead of building up lesser players + Show Spoiler [WHOOPS] +. I hope that this will get both teams experience and satisfying success, it'll sure be good for EG players, let's just see if it'll benefit SlayerS as well.
It'll be dreary if the foreigners aren't up to scratch for GSTL, but hey, how else will they get to that level of competition? EDIT: nevermind, the ones put forth by EG are certainly up to snuff and should be a great for SlayerS in this "exchange progamer" programe!
