LOL esf, fighting kespa by becoming kespa.
That being said, does that make everything Jessica said true? I'm not used to thinking of her in the victim role, but it looks like she might be in this case.

wait I thought the tl community was on the side of esf. when esf blackmailed kespa with the gsl and osl thing you were all cheering for them. so they are dicks to kespa and you love them? now they are dicks to slayers and you don't like them?

and yeah I'm generalizing but a large part of the tl community has that kind of thinking from what I have seen.

honestly if everyone was kind and attempted not to be douchebags stuff like this would never happen.

Fuck you man! You give us these fucking empty words after Slayers is dead?! I thought the Federation was supposed to promote eSports, not turn on a fellow team and ostracize them. I thought ESF was going to be better, an organization that actually cared about the scene rather than savage a team for their own power.


I agree, but you have to remember he's at least admitted that they did something wrong and now they're trying to publicize it hopes that it wont happen again.


Slayers is still dead. This is just a PR move to try to save face.


It's still the right thing to do. They can't revive the Slayers team. At this point the fact that they're taking some responsibility for what happened shows that they care enough about their image that they're willing to do the right thing. It also gives us precedence, meaning that this will unlikely happen again.


So say that I've murdered your cat.

And then later I apologized for it.

Would that still makes it okay?

When she run a team into ground, she is not a victim. Not alot of business skill (dealing with ESF) or management skill (dealing with own players) were displayed.

On the korean side we have this level of commitment and professionalism (though jessica seriously needs to figure out how to use anything other than twitter).

And on our side we spam #shitontwitterandreddit like 12 year olds and talk about how great of an idea it is.


And people wonder why we're behind.

ESFs conditions where join or die

there was no room to negotiate.

her own players where victims to the practice ban and were not loyal to her. which is understandable but still not honorable (especially in case of MMA)

Some comments by Korean netizens: (Sources are from fomos and TIG)

"wtf? So only coach Won is going to step down and issue an apology? What about the other ESF staff members? Where's their apology? What about the players who agreed with this whole SlayerS restriction? Where's their apology?"

"So coach Won steps down and another asshole from ESF who also agreed with the SlayerS restriction gets to take his spot. Yeah, everything's been fixed."

"Just get rid of ESF already. You guys are not needed."

"You say you guys are working together for the future of eSports. You think singling out a team and putting a restriction on them, bullying them, and forcing players not to practice with that team is going to help the future of eSports? You guys are all full of shit and none of you deserve to be working for eSports."

"You call this an apology? An elementary student could have written this crap."

"I love how they are issuing an apology after everything went to hell. Good job guys. You guys are real mature. Way to step it up."

"What the hell. Yeah, okay. So he steps down from his ESF position but he still remains as a coach for StarTale. You guys haven't fixed anything."

"Don't even bother spewing up bull crap about an apology. All of you who were in involved with this bullying, gtfo."

Holy crap... Korean netizens Oo;;

in this case it is like this

I murdered the cat

the cat owner accused me of murdering his cat

i said I didnt do it

the cat owner brings evidence (knife, blood strains, DNA test etc)

I say i might have scratched it with a knife but didnt kill it

the cat owner brings more evidence (vid)

I apologize

The situation were against her sure. But that's what leadership and negotiation skills are for. FXO had issues and went public early and get stuff resolved. TSL had issues and quietly rebuilt into one of the strongest team. If it's supposed to be easy then everyone would be doing it.

Actually, it's more along the lines of...

You put the cat in a box with a radioactive isotope with a half life of about a year.

The owner of the cat is angry, and wants you to take the cat out of the box.

You say "It's okay, you can take the cat out of the box."

The cat's owner looks in the box, sees the cat, and invites other cats into the box.

You don't talk about the cat, or ask about it, or acknowledge the cat is there.

After a year, the cat is dead. Testing is inconclusive whether it was the box, the radioactivity, or another cat that killed it.

The cat's owner says "You killed my cat!"

You say "I did not!"

The cat's owner posts a screenshot of you, the cat, the box, and some packing tape on reddit under the title "This asshole killed my cat!"

You apologize for putting the cat in the box.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

I feel the same way as most of these Korean netizens. Yes they issue an apology but nothing has changed. There were more people involved than coach Won. Replace Coach Won with another member of the ESF who would have done the same thing to Slayer. If they apologize before Slayers disbanded than I'll understand but to do after the team has gone to shit is kind of too late. I am glad there is an apology though because now we know for a fact that ESF is acting like kespa. What are we going to find out next? That Manager J was sent by ESF. Seriously I lost all hope for ESF when they lifted the restriction for Slayers and continue it "unofficially." Shady businesses should not be supported.

This is why people are upset that Jessica is only bringing this up now, after SlayerS is to be disbanded. She could have said much the same thing last December, when SlayerS was still in a position that could be salvaged. As for Manager J, sources suggest he is not an eSF individual so please don't suggest that even jokingly. Half the people in this twisted world of internet telephone games will be posting it as fact on Reddit in 20 minutes.

Replacement for Coach Won should be a player, preferably one who has enough stature and credibility to say "This will not happen again" and have it stick.

But then the lights go out, and Jaedong is awarded the position as new leader of ESF.

Fuck you man! You give us these fucking empty words after Slayers is dead?! I thought the Federation was supposed to promote eSports, not turn on a fellow team and ostracize them. I thought ESF was going to be better, an organization that actually cared about the scene rather than savage a team for their own power.


I agree, but you have to remember he's at least admitted that they did something wrong and now they're trying to publicize it hopes that it wont happen again.


Slayers is still dead. This is just a PR move to try to save face.


It's still the right thing to do. They can't revive the Slayers team. At this point the fact that they're taking some responsibility for what happened shows that they care enough about their image that they're willing to do the right thing. It also gives us precedence, meaning that this will unlikely happen again.


So say that I've murdered your cat.

And then later I apologized for it.

Would that still makes it okay?


No, but it's better than not apologizing. Wrong then right thing makes it better than wrong then wrong thing again.

in this case it is like this

I murdered the cat

the cat owner accused me of murdering his cat

i said I didnt do it

the cat owner brings evidence (knife, blood strains, DNA test etc)

I say i might have scratched it with a knife but didnt kill it

the cat owner brings more evidence (vid)

I apologize


Actually, it's more along the lines of...

You put the cat in a box with a radioactive isotope with a half life of about a year.

The owner of the cat is angry, and wants you to take the cat out of the box.

You say "It's okay, you can take the cat out of the box."

The cat's owner looks in the box, sees the cat, and invites other cats into the box.

You don't talk about the cat, or ask about it, or acknowledge the cat is there.

After a year, the cat is dead. Testing is inconclusive whether it was the box, the radioactivity, or another cat that killed it.

The cat's owner says "You killed my cat!"

You say "I did not!"

The cat's owner posts a screenshot of you, the cat, the box, and some packing tape on reddit under the title "This asshole killed my cat!"

You apologize for putting the cat in the box.


what the...


The situation surrounding the upcoming disbandment of SlayerS is just that clear.

The ban was a factor, and it was bad, but it is not the sole cause of death. Unfortunately I don't think there's an eSports coroner that will be able to do a full autopsy of the situation and find out, and the myriad rumors, accusations, and shadings don't help to shine a light on the impartial truth of it all.

off topic - don't people know about Schroedinger's cat these days?
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?
