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.
Source? Your name is Dustin_Butthead, after all. And that post is kind of a drama if true.

Proper sc2 kespa = progaming licenses for sc2? Courage tourney again? Everyone is taken more seriously?
sweet.

Whoa....so much controversy and possibilities erupting from this move :X
Really interested in what's going to happen. The idea of an arms race for SC2 coaches on the kespa teams is pretty interesting though for sure  hope it works :D

Licenses or not, but I feel like a Courage type of tournament needs to exist so talents can qualify and teams can draft those players. That or teams having open qualifiers for this purpose./

It looks like KeSPA is transitioning its Courage tournament to SC2.
Any GSL players not included in the 25-player roster from the Federation as well as players qualified in the KeSPA-hosted amateur tournament (formerly known as the Courage Match) will be able to join KeSPA teams during its draft period.

what koreans are speculating seems to be that guys like sleep, crank ir dragon that never said that they will leave in the first place and went to foreign teams without notice were the reason why moral was down.
while taeja and ganzi were certainly more imporltant players they left in consent.
anyways slayers still has a top roster. they have coca, puzzle, genius, mma, alicia among others.
depending on the next few tournaments they might stay or disband but certainly not now

Nor Sleep or Dragon left the Slayers without a notice. I know them personally and they did not leave the team as to what you just have speculated to. As far as Koreans gossiping about this issue is very vague and is rather based upon false info, so it would be wise not to pay too much attention to it. In terms of BoxeR's move, I think it was the right call to make since with HOTS release approaching and OGN boosting sc2 league, it would only benefit BoxeR down the road.

There were many difficulties within team SlayerS recently, and I was also very troubled by them. SlayerS manager Jessica suggested me to help my former team, and I took her suggestion and approached SKT T1 first.
Seems like things were a bit complicated.

He can't be doing it just for the money, I mean you build a team, spend 2 years getting to know players, heck he is even working with his wife(!), why trade it all away for more money?
Doesn't sound like the Boxer I know...

it is interesting to see the fuzz about slayers in the last few months...
also the fact that boxer got $250k from intel to start slayers in the first place makes me curious about slayers' future...
at least taeja is save

"Coach Lim" .. the fuck, no more Boxer :/

Don't you dare not coming back to the stage when this 13 month contract has run out, BoxeR!!!

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. Are you aware that Red Bull is sponsoring Startale? LOL..Red Bull is not strong enough compares to LG, SAMSUM, KT, SKT.. and the most important thing is that Red Bull is not a Korean Company What samsum? 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. LOL what. Do you know how much those telecommunications companies make? KT for instance made 18.8 billion in revenue in 2010. redbull is nice, but still. 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.
Pretty much. They sponsored the Sauber F1 team for several years, and then bought the Jaguar team from Ford in 2005, committing $400 million over the first three years for operational expenses. That team won the World Constructors Championship in dominating fashion last year, over efforts from McLaren, Ferrari, and Mercedes. (They own a second team in F1 as well -- Scuderia Toro Rosso.)
I don't know of any company that rivals Red Bull's combination of depth and breadth of expenditure in sporting events. For examples of the latter, see here.
