Genius joined Slayers, which is lead by the playing coach BoxeR.

On the 26th, Slayers team accepted the 'Free Spirit' Genius. Genius was known to be looking for a new team after leaving MVP. While he was on the look out he won his Code A match on the 24th while sitting on the seat that was meant to be used for Slayers' players. After winning on their seat, he showed interests in joining the team.

Genius is a protoss player, who has a total GSL Tour record of 73 wins 60 Losses and was the runner up in 2012 Hot XI GSL Code S Season 1. After his deperature from team MVP on June 14th, he finally found a new team after a little more than a month.

Regarding their released protoss player, Crank, Slayers stated that "Crank had a problem with the disk of his neck and is currently recieving treatment at home.Accusations of him leaving due to a fight within the team is false. We Hope Crank concentrates only on his
recovery and we hope that everything turns out well. We hope we can see him back in the future.:

Slayers is a starcraft 2 team run by Coach Kim Ga Yeon (Jessica) and playing coach Lim Yo Hwan (BoxeR), and they are looking to win their third GSTL Championship in the upcoming GSTL Finals.

Wow, very nice pick-up from Slayers. I hope he'll move to the team house and practice hard there.

Oh wow I would have never guessed Genius going to Slayers. Cool. Hopefully Crank can get the proper medical treatment and can get back to playing soon

For some reason I can't picture Genius in a Slayers uniform. Looks like Slayers is back on track if they can keep MMA. MMA, Genius, Ryung, Coca and Puzzle are all Code S level talents.

If you can't join a foreign team the next best thing is to join a korean team who has a partnership with a foreign team.

Wow that is surprising with Genius wanting to go to a foreign team at first. Sad to hear about Crank, hopefully he can get the proper treatment soon and return to playing.

Strong signing for Slayers. Saddening to see Crank bow out while he's been putting up memorable performances.

Wow this is crazy. SlayerS_Genius sounds so weird. I guess we'll have to get used to it! Considering SlayerS' performance so far, I look forward to a DRG-Genius rematch in GSTL. That would be so cool.

INTERESTING. Not sure if SlayerS is a good fit for Genius. Best of luck to this partnership though!

SlayerS have such a strong line up with MMA back in shape and Genius joining their ranks.

SlayerS? Weird. Maybe Genius will actually start practicing harder and repeat or better his runner up performance from Season 1.

Is he eligible to play/will he play in the GSTL finals?
Who's the bigger scrub, the scrub, or the scrub who loses to him?
