Cool SKT isn't complete without boxer. Hopefully this will bring improvements to Bisu's game

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.
As stated before they have the same deal as the federation teams.

I'm thinking SKT and Slayers will form some kind of partnership even if it's just as practice partners. Then in Oct 2013 when the trade lock is lifted, they'll officially merge where the top players from Slayers will join SKT and Slayers becomes their B-team/feeder team.

It sounds like you have evidence to support this claim. Care to show us?

Care to read teamliquid?
Look on the thread itself about that issue.
And even in this thread ? Look how many people go on Jessica ? I'm sure if she did not do anything wrong
people would not mention her all the time...
Even the MMA thread recently was full of speculation about Jessica fault.

Many people saw this coming I guess

First off, it was Intel Korea (same Intel division who sponsors IM now) who sponsored Boxer only. It wasn't a team sponsor. And Razor no longer sponsors Slayers.
Second, I don't think you understand how big of a corporation SK really is.

Of course they hurt their PR image. The foreigner community (and for some reason a ton of people who never touched BW) idolizes Boxer, but that good will has soured considerably with their repeated idiotic public battles/flame wars - usually propagated by Jessica.
I don't follow nor root for the team anymore. Just too many good people out there to waste time for nostalgia's sake on a team a shade of it's former iconic stature.

Yes I do understand and that is why I said that the only viable option then would be if SK would be virtually "Feeding" Slayers which wouldn't make a difference if they merged togehter. At least a merger would be taken more positively.

I presume you mean in the amount of money SK invest into it's Sc team. Corperation size is irrelivent tbh.
Intel is far bigger yet i doubt it's investing anything even close into Sc 2 teams.

For all those saying losing Boxer = SlayerS are screwed with sponsors. . .um, how many other teams manage to get sponsors without having Boxer as their "face"? And if you think some bad publicity from Twitter is going to end their chances, how about TSL, supposedly one of the richer "GOM teams".
SlayerS could be in trouble, but no more so than the average GOM team is.

He's back home ! Too bad we'll never get to see him play again. Hope he'll be remembered as the greatest eSports personality of all time.

Are coaches allowed to play in matches, in Proleague? Would be interesting to see him become a playing-coach (BoxeR vs Clide vs Choya rivalry?)
|
Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn.
Rest easy Lord
|
WHAT!
does this mean that slayers is going to dissolve soon, or will boxer just have less of an influence on the team
but still why would he leave
|
does this is boxer will not play anymore? since hes now an official coach?

to be fair you dont make comments on twitter about your competition like that
