Can people stop saying he "Abandoned" slayers. There's no evidence to that, and no reason he can't be involved in both teams at some level.

actually there is a reason. If you're a coach, and you're coaching two teams, you're not giving any of the teams your full attention. It's worse if he does with both. So no, there's no evidence of him leaving SlayerS for good but this is awful for SlayerS

Didn't see that one coming. Hope Slayers doesn't end up disbanding because of this.

Very interesting...

Also interesting to note is that SlayerS is NOT part of the e-sports Federation, and so SKT and SlayerS could possibly trade or form an agreement between each other.

SlayerS is part of the "no trade" clause as well even though they're not in ESF.

I am very sad to see Boxer officially retire. Thankfully I did get to see him play live at BlizzCon 2010, and get his autograph. You will be missed, Emperor. =(

Very very strange.... I would imagine that the Slayers members may feel betrayed because of this.

My dream is that my two favorite teams, SKT1 and SlayerS will merge..

With the latest edit in the OP(Jessica wanted to remove the term 'retire'), he didn't retired as a player right? There's still a possibility for him to make a comeback? I was so eager to see him play again

But with his shoulder problems, it would be totally okay

Wherever you go, I will follow you BoxeR

Not the man we deserved, but the man we needed. A true starcraft hero, so many beautiful matches, such creative play, so much awesomeness in general. I support the king in whatever endeavors he so chooses.

I have said this all the time, when all this shit with KeSPA teams into sc2 and all got down, BoxeR would go back to SKT1. And when SlayerS didn't join the thing with all the GSL teams I thought I was right. But I always said that it would be like SKT1 buying the whole SlayerS A-team and get the whole package, not just BoxeR alone as a coach.

This is really great for BoxeR and SKT1, but I want to see MMA back on the team so bad aswell. :<<<

Emperor returns home. Good stuff.

It is apparent from all the posts that there are very few of us brother who were around in the days when SKT1 was practically built by Boxer, everyone going "He's leaving SlayerS!!!" ... No, he's going home. <3 love this.
