You know this how? People think she's a little "crazy" with her tweets, but that doesn't have much to do with running a team.


Anyway, no idea what to think about this. It really depends on what Boxer's role at SlayerS was. Presumably he was a strategy coach more than anything so this shouldn't be the disaster people are thinking. SlayerS was one of the richest teams, I'm sure they're still OK, and Boxer helping out a KeSPA team is probably good in the long term.



Boxer was one of the richest team. Now with Boxer gone and Jessica's terrible PR what company going to risk
putting their name on a drama creator ...


You do realize that Slayers has always been Jessica's team, right? Boxer's name was just used for public attraction, but the team was always run by Jessica and Cella.


Slayers lost there "Face" the most important part for the outside world. I am sure Jessica's a fine team manager as long as she's not doing an PR and stay's in the background. This is already not happening with her Tweets going on currently.
For a team this is as bad as it gets tbh.


Believe me when I say this, there is more to this deal than just Boxer moving to SKT as coach.


We are working with the info we currently have.

It says you are from South Korea so if you are Korean your perception of Foreigner culture is different.

Foreigner sponsors favor people with bold ideas and who are great spokesperson
Look what Jessica did to Eve ... What she said about Dragon...

People foreigner companies want to deal are not like her.

Just look how much money EG has and look what kind of leadership they have.

Now with Boxer gone and Bad PR, you have to virtually be talking about KESPA feeding Slayers so they survive.

It's possible that Boxer is only moving to SKT temporarily to help them get into the playoff.

An e-Sports Federation player can't join a KeSPA team until October 2013. Apparently SlayerS is not an e-Sports Federation team.

I fully believe you, because Boxer is a smart guy, and he knows how to build teams up as he has proven before with Air Force Ace and SKT.
The problem is though that for 1 year Slayers will be without the great Boxer as there Face and sponsor attraction.
Just wondering if we get to see Boxer's great plan in action or if Slayers simply runs out of players before that.

They aren't apart of the e-sports federation. However, they are apart of the trade lock deal.

My bet is that if Jessica would .... and stop the twitter war, it would leave little or no harm.

Her current PR going with FXOBoSs is only nailing more nails to the coffin ...

how isn't this common knowledge yet? Despite not being part of the esports federation, SlayerS is taking part in the league lock.

http://esfiworld.com/news/kespa-esports-fed-agree-trade-lock-until-oct-2013

This agreement prohibits KeSPA-affiliated teams to acquire players from eSports Federation (including SlayerS) until October 2013

I'm pretty sure Razer and Intel were Korean sponsors.

It's nice to see him become a coach but I don't know how SlayerS will do without him now. Can't see how he will have the time to handle 2 teams.

Boxer is pretty much the face of SlayerS....why would he leave? It doesn't really make much sense. It's not like SlayerS is struggling or anything, they're pretty much the top 3 SC2 team in Korea. The only thing that I can think of that would make him jump team, besides money, is if they have a plan to merge SKT 1 and SlayerS in the future. SlayerS is not part of that SC2 federation thing so they can do whatever they want.

It harms it seriously in community like TL. Come on, FXOBoSs makes an opinion
and Jessica goes on offensive ?
Her tweets on Dragon harmed their PR.
