It just bothers me that's all. (I'm not saying they're bad, or good, but I'd ask anyone who makes a similar claim: How can you claim to be the best?) | ||

Ahahahaha. I wonder if SlayerS being part of that trade agreement with Kespa did have anything to do with EG and SlayerS ending their contract. Didn't EG just buy Stephano (unofficially)? I can't really see them wanting to rush to buy too many more players at the moment, even if they are godly Koreans with BW fanbases. | ||

Without a doubt, iM is the best team in the world. 3 GSL Champions. 8 GSL code S trophies and the highest combined tournament winnings in the world. Lets not forget all the foreign tournaments they have brought home, IEM, MLG, IPL etc. | ||

Evil il Geniuses will continue to maintain a strong, ongoing training and team presence in South Korea, the details of which will be released in the coming weeks. :p But hey, maybe they ended it so they could pick up MMA and Crank. | ||

You don't think EG was paying for the opportunity to train there? Slayers has a lot of issues right now, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if this was a move by EG to upgrade digs there. | ||

They have no foreign player in the GSL anymore. It seems to me that this partnership was short term and that it has ended, they announce the end because announces are cool, but I wouldn't read too much in this. 10 months isn't short term (especially when looking at other partnerships). They also have Puma there and Thorzain + others when there is time. And every end of partnerships gets announced. They made an own thread because of the risk that Slasher, Rakaka or other 3th parties could made up some conspiracies. | ||

SlayerS is having an issue of their own. Since EG is cooking up another partnership, I wonder what team would it be? | ||

As far as I can see, it didn't seem like an equitable agreement. Than why the hell would Slayers do it if the agreement isn't equitable? Slayers said "Yes, we want this". I'm sure they have like 100% more intel in what's going on with their contract than the forum posters here | ||
