Good deal. I am excited to see him in a Slayers uni.

Awesome pick-up by SlayerS and having Genius on board will definitely help out a lot not only in team leagues but also for the players to get an awesome P practice partner. Best of luck to SlayerS and Genius and congratulations to both as well.

I.....love this.

Holy damn I have to change my team support label to SlayerS if the whole thing with MMA boils down. Which it appears to have done. I love Genius and I have always wanted to support SlayerS, but just haven't found the right stuff in them. THIS IS IT!

EDIT: Just wanted to say that I feel like SlayerS has been slipping lately in popularity but this could be a resurgence. GSTL is the + Show Spoiler +

I think Genius' aversion to practice is overstated. He likes to brag that he doesn't put much effort into maintaining Code S, but in season 1 we saw he had the ability to turn it on.

Plus he was an ex-BW pro (fellow Terran b-teamer with Idra in fact). So it's not like he doesn't know how to grind out games.

The Crank thing just gets stranger by the day... I wonder if it's related to the MMA thing; but I guess we won't be finding out.

Genius is one player that has been on the brink of the abyss numerous times - Honest to God, I wouldn't have thought that he'd prove to have such perseverance. I thought he would go the Tester and Fruitdealer-path, considering how weird and unstable his play was for a period of time. Now he is one of the few remaining players who's been on top pretty much since release.

"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.

A betrayal. You were like a brother to me!!!! - DRG

But truly, that's the last team I would have expected Genius to join. Soon he too will become an expressionless mask.

Exactly, I read the op, I just don't buy it (especially with what people are saying about Crank's stream).

actually, thinking about it, this does make a pretty interesting storyline. Genius leaving his best friends team to join the team of his best friends greatest rival. I think we need another chapter to that DRG and MMA storybook =p

If I remember correctly, it was revealed shortly before the Blizzard Cup 2011 that DRG and Genius were at SlayerS for a trial period. In a strange sense, Genius is coming home.

Let's hope DRG doesn't also change his mind ... then it would be the Global SlayerS League.
