All of you demanding evidence from the PLAYERS, come on, they're players. They're not a business, they focused on the game, and are mostly kids, cut them some slack. Do you really expect them to record every conversation or keep a list of evidence in-case something goes bad like this? They just want to play Starcraft 2 in the right environment.

None are saying that.

Crank said that Boxer thought so in his statement, and Jessica certainly didn't refute it in her response.

Then Boxer got on the phone. He explained that, according to him, from the perspective of the team and himself, I was the cause of all the internal issues, including the MMA, Ryung and Alicia ones.


Maybe you should read the whole thing eh?

You're saying that all the bad team atmosphere can be traced back to the evil source of Crank. None in this thread alludes to it, Jessica doesn't in her statement, nor does Crank in his and nor should you.

I don't know about you, but the part I quoted very clearly says that Boxer "explained that, according to him, from the perspective of the team and himself, [Crank] was the cause of all the internal issues, including the MMA, Ryung and Alicia ones." This was in Crank's statement. Go reread it, Jesus Christ. Therefore, according to Crank, Boxer said it, so it can hardly be said that "none are saying that" (your own words). Jessica did not refute this in her statement. Either she overlooked it (and it's true/false) or she didn't (and it's true). Given her propensity to pounce on people for their words (see: the entire MC situation), I am surprised she did not comment on this.




Ive read the entire statement from Jessica, but theres nothing about blaming everything on Crank. where did you see

it???

BoxeR, YellOw, XellOS and many many other players back in the days of StarCraft:BW were kids too no body cut them any slack at the dawn of progaming. They have to live in a very tight-knit apartment while living off instant noodles. I'm sure that they just want to play their game too.

Wow, this is getting out of hand. What exactly is crank being accused of? Lying to Jessica about not wanting to be on the team anymore? If he did not even have a contract, there's no point in even accusing crank of anything. People that hardly had anything to do with Slayers disbanding are being accused of stuff at this point.

I'm pretty sure he was considering quitting up until the moment TB and the reddit brigade shipped him off to MLG. He dropped out of MvP because his neck injury, the one that was making him consider quitting. It's just fucking saddening that a player gets is motivation back and the next thing that hits him is a full out scandal.

If crank was indeed toxic to the team, it's all the better that he left the house. Why are is he a target of this witch hunt?

Maybe because the thread is called "slayers disbanding" and crank's childish acts were one of the causes of them disbanding?



How so if what he said was the truth about slayers having a crappy training environment/boxer gave 0 fucks about it? I mean at the very least 3 players thought it went bad. Crank didn't do anything childish it was just un-professional the way he handled leaving the team..

@Zoact
How exactly would he prove Boxer did nothing?

How can the training/enviroment be that bad when Slayers is literally spitting out zero to hero players. Again, who was MMA, Ryung, Alicia, coca, crank, etc before slayers? Boxer picked up korean ladder players and won the first GSTL against all odds.

I think the biggest problems with the Slayers team was different expectations from different parties. Alicia's issue, Crank's issue both revolve around some type of complex where they expected to be treated like kings. A lot of that might have to do with the fact that they were probably deluded by how much money koreans going to foreign teams were getting. The Korean scene is barely surviving and slayers was one of the most funded teams. Crank and Alicia whining about the bad treatment seriously have no grounds especially when I know for a fact teams like NSHS and TSL are miles behind due to shortage of funding. Just look at Alicia's whines towards the bad treatment, a pro-gamer not being picked up by Jessica after a flight? Give me a break Paris "Alicia" Hilton.

Thanks. Just finished reading it. I'm going to continue to side with the SlayerS player like I did from day 1. Too lazy to repeat previous posts and summarize my opinions.

I think that the OP needs to be updated to make it easier for posters to read the latest update.


Anyway, I'm still sad that SlayerS is no more. Although I hope that BoxeR comes back to play HotS at some point.

There has been a huge amount of updates that aren't in the OP. Basically if you hadn't followed the 3-5 threads you don't know half the story. So it would be nice to see it updated for sure.

And yeah, would love to see more of Boxer playing. Even as a non-BW fan I understood the flair in his play. I don't think he will be though outside maybe a showmatch. Hopefully he's enjoying his coach-dom.

That's the point.
You dont see anything wrong with someone saying "The accuser has to show evidence" and in his own statement accusing people of something without evidence?

I can understand if someone says "You should show evidence" and I understand that someone doesnt have evidence for everything (especially in such a situation) and therefor can accuse others of doing something without evidence.
But if you have both from the same person/statement.... My hypocrite senses are tingling in such cases.

Good interview shows a lot of things in a different light.

Only thing I'm sad about is that he doesnt seem to realize that saying "I dont want to leave for (foreign) money" and then looking for sponsors & streaming within a short period, makes him look bad. Even if it wasnt intentional I think it's fairly easy to see that some people interpret his actions like that.
Also a bit too much whining in some of his statements for my taste (but hey others might like that).

It doesn't feel like whining. felt more like "how can they say that about me?" Dude seems to respect and love Boxer a lot, seems he just let his emotions of Jessica over ride his feelings for Boxer in that phone call.
