To me it's really strange to 'leave' a team you own, have given your name to and leave it to your girl friend..
It's kind of as if Bill Gates give Microsoft to his wife and start working as a janitor at Apple.

He did build SKT, but even so...

This is pretty huge, pretty awesome as well. I hope both teams benefit from this, we obviously know Boxer is very very good at coaching, he might help fantasy become as good as MMA was in SC2, and I hope SlayerS continue to thrive without the man himself.

Except Bill Gates did't found Apple and get it through the toughest years of its existence, and worked with or raised most of the guys that work at Apple.

Slayers is a fairly insignificant part of Boxer's career, and he rarely even appeared in the role of an owner/manager for them. I can't imagine his connection to that team being anywhere close to the one he has with T1 and the players there. Jessica seems to be his only real connection to Slayers, and she claims she always owned the team herself, so...

Its so sad. We won't be able to see Boxer play again for a long time, because player transfers are banned.

Not sure how to feel about this. He should coach both teams!!!
I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work the luckier I am.

Well I guess there is no more SlayerS.. Kinda sad. I guess it will stay alive for a while under Jessica but honestly who would want to stay there now for long of the players?

So sad, we will most likely never get to watch his games again, but I hope he becomes very successful as a coach, Also, I hope Slayers will remain and still be succesfull maybe they will get a new person to help out, :D

Boxer going full circle... a bit strange with SlayerS around.

(Wiki)SKT1
SK Telecom Team 1 was originally founded by BoxeR in October 2002 under the name Orion. Its name changed to 4 Union in December 2003, and finally to SK Telecom T1 in April 2004 upon sponsorship by SK Telecom.

Well if he's not retiring, then glad to see the Emperor returning to his roots! Interested to see what happens with Slayers. They're not part of the federation so they're not bound by the no trade rule, right?

Sorry if this has already been asked I didn't bother reading through the thread. :p

Hmmmm it makes me kinda wonder how Jessica and he are doing in personal matters... This is kinda like he's abandoning his own family to go back to an Ex-girlfriend.

Or Maybe SKT just offered him a LOT of money and he wants to use it for his future together with Jessica.

I agree with you, Talin.

This is really going to hit the newer crowd- the "SC2 only scene"- the hardest, because they don't really understand SKT's backstory or Boxer's BW team history.

I will always support BoxeR so I'm happy that he will still be active in the SC2 scene. I just feel a bit worried about SlayerS. I think they should merge.

So know we know that the no trading rule does not include coaches, which should be worst for the GOM-teams :/
