I think letting jessica take the reigns of the team was a really bad idea. Initially, I thought she was a capable manager, but after the numerous complaints and rants about/from her I think there was a complete PR failure. Jessica tried to be someone she wasn't and perhaps some people can't handle the power given to the effectively.

I am glad to see boxer is moving onto a new phase in sc2 and while I can only hope SlayerS is salvageable, under the continued leadership of jessica, I can only see disbandment or absorption by another team as the future path.

I thought this would be a possibilty, never EVER thought it would happen tho... This means BoxeR aint coming back as a player for HoTs as he stated when he told about his shoulder injury O.o?

Guys come on.. Don't be so naive!! Boxer is going home, and leaving Jessica "in charge" of slayers, but lets face it.. Boxer is still going to be in charge of slayers, this is just his way of returning home to help his team until the time comes when gsl and kespa players can unite under one banner.

I believe boxer will coach skt1, and still be in charge of slayers behind closed doors, with jessica as the frontwoman (for now).. I can already see slayers and skt1 training vigorously together, the slayers players teaching the bw players everything they know.

Jessica was in charge anyway Boxer was just the face and the star to look up to

Boxer is just the guy who you show to sponsors and say we got this guy and they increase interest by like 30%

Unless i am missing something Jessica was always owner/manager of Slayers.

Yeah pretty much. This is my impression of how Slayers operated as well based on what we've seen/heard.

I do remember Boxer saying that Cella is the only actual coach and that he was only a player and had sort of an advisory role to younger players, but not much more than that. Officially at least.

At the end of it all, I believe the 3 richest companies (SKT, KT, and Samsung) will be able to acquire the best coaching talent to complement their players.

It's a joke. Well...kind of.

T1 have the most annoying fans of all teams, mainly because of people who like Bisu a little too much, or talk more about their team looks than the games themselves.


T1 fans are only like that because everyone else is always giving Bisu crap about not getting anywhere in the OSL!

Rather than anything else, this seems to me like Boxer being the God of esports that he is and trying to build a bridge between Kespa teams and GSL teams.

Erm... people forgetting that Cella is coaching? I think it's a good thing for Cella to really make a name for himself as a really good coach. Even though it's great for Boxer I think this decision was made with the best intentions for everyone.

We know Boxer wasn't really playing all that much and that also Cella was given head coach responsibilities. I think this is a great move.

SO MANY QUESTIONS.

kespa teams can't pickup players but what about teams merging? Can they loophole? Can players have their contracts expire then be picked up by kespa teams? Is Slayers even part of the sc2 organization?

Both teams are very good (skt1 is first or second in Team league right now and slayers was gstl runner up with some sick vets and a handful of rising stars) if they merged they would embarrass everyone in Pro Leagues right now.

I doubt Kespa teams want to pickup many Gom players. They just want to train the talent they have now and coaches are perfect for that.

I imagine they would probably go for some of the more mechanically talented ones from the 15-17 age bracket, considering most teams don't really have many (if any) young players switching from Brood War.

I'm pretty sure they would be interested in signing a Taeja-type player given an opportunity to do so and the player's willingness to move into their team facilities.
