I think its player only if I'm not mistaken and since BoxeR is a player coach, I think as long as he retires from gamin' and goes as a coach there is no issue. Could be completely wrong though.

I hoping for this but TBH I don't know if slayers an hang on that long.

Oh please, it's not like the team is on the verge of collapse or anything. It's one of the more popular and solid (financially) teams out there.
That being said, losing Boxer is huge though.

I'd say all teams in Korea are struggling financially with the exception of IM and KeSPA teams

Team Manager isn't the same thing as Team Captain ...

Why are people so sad? Teams are meant to die and disband over time, it's the players' retirement and quits that are truly sad, yet Boxer isn't retiring from the whole scene or anything, he's still a coach. Cheer up.
And by the way, he didn't just build Slayers, he built a big part of Esports.

I understand that the organization lock merely concerns player-to-player transition rather than being a more general one. Boxer leaving Slayers for a former BW-team is a very big event. GSL teams should rightfully start to seriously feel the heat...

Its better for the greater good. GSL teams will eventually (well except for IM) will eventually get assimilated by the Kespa teams. And thus GOM leagues will become the 2nd in hand in esport. Then when Blizzard comes gun blazing about destroying the new scene, Kespa will be the one defending it. And Sc2 have have legion of foreign fans, and cement a new age of Esport because esport shouldn't be determine by how 'dated' a game is. It should be about fans and passion and not a corporate grabbing machine.

Looks like there's absolutely no new information from the press conference with boxer. I guess it was somewhat expected.
|
Next: Jessica and Boxer break up and become the most bitter coach-rivals in sports history.
|
This will surely attract more Koreans to Starcraft 2

None of them can match the sponsors IM has. If all goes well towards the end of the year and LG becomes an indefinite sponsor, IM will actually join KeSPA.
