From what i heard from multiple SlayerS players, she didnt really care for all of them, only the ones who were active in GSTL, players like Alicia who didnt play very much teamleague, felt misstreated and left out due a huge gap in the amount of attention given through pr and tournaments.

Also the SlayerS players were not even payed a saliry, and in some talkshow that was joined by Genna Bain, she explained why Axiom decided to pick up CranK... and im not going to explain the entire reason, but in short: CranK explained that when he was in SlayerS, he did not even get to live in the teamhouse because they didnt have room, so instead he had to sleep on the floor at a friends apartment, and go to the teamhouse to practise... and unless he yielded good results at online tournaments / GSL, he wouldnt have money to pay for food.

tl:dr - Dont start cheering for jessica just yet, there is still alot of players running around saying that SlayerS were treating some of them like slaves and that there were a huge gap between how the players were treated.

Now that Jessica and Boxer got some credibility back, it should fix some of the misunderstanding they had with some players within SlayerS.
MMA and Crank statement better be perfectly prepared because it's going to be hard to justify their decisions.

Also we still don't know what happened to this slayers coach who tried to recruit players behind Jessica's back.
This guy should at least be kicked out of e-sports.

When everyone realized it was all misunderstanding the team will get together again, stronger than ever. One can dream...

Anybody still think Jessica is totally wrong in this case? This gives Jessica's statements a lot of credibility.

People being honest is good. It shows we can move on from this mess with slayers and hopefully make sure it doesnt happen again.

Wow everything is all tied together with this drama T_T Still sucks about everything that happened with SlayerS. I hope the ESF can regroup and improve on everything for the future!

I don't think many people (I'm sure there are) think Jessica is totally wrong. At least I think she is right in a lot of issues with ESF, just incompetent. FXO had issues with them and went public early and get it solved. TSL had more problems with them and quietly rebuilt one of the strongest team. That says competency. What Jessica was / is doing does not really say that.

Also what leave me a bad taste is how Jessica threw Slayers players under a bus, even taking swipes at Ganzi and Taeja. Any responsible organization would said "We had our difficulties and we are sad that things did not work out. We wish the best for everyone" instead of publishing all players' problems, most of which are petty issues that naturally occur when young people live together in a high pressure competitive environment, and issues that are responsibility of the team management to address and solve.

It's amazing that Slayers imploded because of internal fighting and Jessica supposedly giving full sponsor control to some random dude, but she's managed to completely shift everyone away from that by slinging poo at the ESF.

Jessica-haters proven wrong. I knew it. Good for Boxer and Jessica, justice prevails.


haha you don't know how this world works, do you? He stepped down, because of the pressure that ignorant fans put on him, believing everything they are said first without thinking "what?" and "why?". He is a scapegoat to calm down the athmosphere, nothing more nothing less. This proves nothing, especially not justice. But yeah, live on in your shiny world of good and bad!


No. He apologized to Slayers and Jessica for the things he did to them. WHY WOULD HE APOLOGIZED TO THEM IF HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING?

Wait you talk to SlayerS players regularly or where are you getting this from because I'd like to read.

Starcraft is really molting here isn't it... it's going to be bare, and without a shell for awhile. But once the new one grows in its place we will be much more comfortable with the evolved scene. We may even be able to move forwards!

I think he is basing on Alicia's comment which should take with a big grin of salt.
But I also think there is no excuse for her to throw players under a bus like that, no matter what difficulties they had, if she really cared about them.

You just showed a weak position Mr. Won with this thus you don't really have a choice.

This is becoming more and more a joke, which is sad and pathetic in the same breath.

I believe this is the right action that needed to take place. Good to see people admit their mistakes, but it sucks that it couldn't be solved before it tore apart Slayers.
I honestly feel horrible for Jessica and Boxer.

I expect any business entity to behave shady like that really. The difference is that ESF is more foreign friendly.
