Won't be surprised considering ACE will most likely not participate in the next Proleague season. They need to make up even numbers some how. | ||

I would not be surprised at all if IM becomes a kespa team in the future, they have the sponsorship to qualify. I just don't think it will be that soon because it would be completely unfair to the other Kespa teams for IM to join proleague right now, they would just destroy everyone. I think Startale, IM and TSL are doing fine financially but the other gom teams are struggling ( just a feeling, no sources ) On August 17 2012 12:28 GTR wrote: SKT's press conference has been annotated by a Korean ESPORTS site. http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=65281 http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=65275 http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=65271 http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=65270 Quick, go TL translators, go! | ||

Another cool thing was that BoxeR is super excited to work with Fantasy again and said he's going to fix him up in SC2, and another interesting note was that apparently SlayerS isn't doing so well (it says 사정 so anyone want to think of this as economic or is it results?). Because of Boxer, apparently the writer expects a change in the coaching staff as well (?) as BoxeR will most likely take over for the Terran training, so having the current coaching roster to switch around seems likely. Apparently Park has been asking for help from Boxer for a while and he recently conceded and decided to join SKT again to repay for the lack of help in the past. No clarification on what kind of help but meh. The SlayerS house has the same training system as SKT's since BoxeR and Park made the system of training together apparently. Second article is about how BoxeR will now focus on coaching but is not going to give up the player side of him. A lot of people said that this is BoxeR retiring and he's hesistant to say that he isn't retiring because he still wants to be a player. But for now, he wants his old team to show those amazing games that he promised his fans but couldn't deliver in the past. The last sentence says he can't promise to return as a player, but he'll try to. Third article is about how the SlayerS situation. He said he had no comment and believes it doesn't fit the current situation to talk about SlayerS. He said that while he built the SlayerS team, when he left he made sure that his absence would not destroy or deteriorate the team. When someone asked about SlayerS, BoxeR said that there's issues going on with the team that is hurting BoxeR (not physically but mentally) and Jessica believed that BoxeR's transfer over to SKT would help both teams. Fourth article is about how BoxeR actually REALLYYY wanted to come back to SKT for 2 years, but because he left on his own accord, he felt that he would cause trouble for his fans and felt sorry about the leave. However, due to his own struggles and SKT's lack of results right now, so he thought a synergy between the two would help both sides so BoxeR contacted SKT first. The rest is about how BoxeR will be the SKT Terran coach. No verbatim, so there's probably better translations out there. | ||

Also the company redbull probably easily makes more money than all the kespa sponsors except Samsung, but I guess it depends on how much the companies put into the team. | ||

Lot of crazy speculations and theories are coming up, but we'll see how it really goes down. | ||

Sounds like working together on team SlayerS may have taken a toll on the love life of Jessica and Boxer. Probably nothing major, but doing business with loved ones can be troublesome. Working apart makes it much easier to separate business and romance. All speculation, of course. | ||

Redbull's a pretty big deal if they throw their weight behind ST. They're the title sponsor of a US soccer team, not the biggest of deals but shows they can be as big a sponsor as is needed if they want. | ||

And I think this is the death sentence to the SlayerS. | ||

The Koreans are saying team moral is down and Boxer feels betrayed by Taeja and GanZi during GSTL RO8, consequently destroying the SlayerS Terran line. The sense of betrayal is even greater because Boxer was the one who discovered and fostered Taeja and GanZi. Betrayals such as these are much harder within the KeSPA framework. Maybe that's why Boxer went back. | ||
