Wow, this is huge news. Holy crap. I want to know the real reason players like MMA lost faith in Jessica. I'd definitely want to see the other side to this story.

The manager is responsible for running a successful team.

This includes:
* Motivating players
* Disciplining players
* Hiring staff
* Handling relations with partners and associations

You cannot do these things if you
* Take things personally
* Get emotional
* Lose your ability to negotiate
* Not account for your short-comings

Being a manager is not easy. In managing people you have to deal with emotions - often exasperating, unnecessary ones - and you have to deal with relationships. Jessica became too involved in some ways and not involved enough in others. I don't need to doubt that she tried her best, but she failed on multiple counts. This emo disclosure of events is representative of that.
Happiness only real when shared.

So the "Esports federation", manager J and MMA are the bad guys? Thats too bad.


MMA wasn't the "bad guy." He probably was sort of close to Manager J because he was the guy that probably helped him the most in regards to international tournaments. It's not as easy as black and white, it's a really complicated and messy situation that ended up sucking for everyone equally as hard.

I wish best of luck too all of the players, and I'm sad to see CoCa and Puzzle leave

I think jessica is correct but her personality and approach makes her vulnerable to exploitation by people. She isnt at fault but in the world of money business she is not suited for it

The one debilitating thing I noticed from all of this is Jessica. She may be telling the truth, but at what cost?

She mentions that none of the players in the team trusted her, but think about it. Can you blame them? She keeps records and evidence for every single conversation and transaction. How can players in a team manage to even be in that type of atmosphere. Of course the players aren't gonna trust you if they suspect that what they say to you is not at all confidential.

It sounds like a terrible environment and it's a shame to see SlayerS go.

JUST KIDDING!

Well.. in all honesty, all I can say is that Slayers disbanding might be a good thing!
Really!
Sometimes it's better to start anew.


But not in this case really, not on such terms. For some it means the end in sc2, for others it will be quite hard to continue and only time will tell what they are going to do next. Hard to salvage anything positive from this situation.

And I am kinda dissapointed that everyone forgets the B-teamers of SlayerS, they were carrying the team for the past month or two and they did prove themselves in team leagues.

I dunno, Genius is such a goofball I can't see him doing too badly from this. He seems like the kind of guy who always lands with his ass in the butter because he's so happy-go-lucky lol

Sounds like a bunch of spoiled brats on Slayers who come to conclusions based on gossip. I feel bad for Boxer, Cella and the other players who don`t act like little girls.

edit - and Alicia getting all butthurt because his coach doesn`t hold his hand to the studio. Oh please lol...win more to get that respect.

This type miscommunication and misunderstanding is bound to happen in Esports where there is no central governing body and most of the players are too young to have the education and life experience to behave professionally.
