Sure, funding for tournaments and financial support for players would not be possible without sponsors, and management can certainly help to facilitate a players needs... but it all starts with the willpower, dedication, and passion of the players. Best of luck to MMA and Crank. | ||

Let us not flame one another, because every time you flame someone, Liquid`HerO cries. ![[image loading]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A5reK3eCQAA3aid.jpg) Please think of Liquid`HerO. ...Or something.

It's the people that are practicing the game 10 hours a day and chasing their dreams against an unfathomable amount of competition that get my vote.

Best of luck to MMA and Crank. Boxer is the epitome of chasing one's dream. MMA and Crank, especially Crank, all I can say is that they were chasing money. | ||

And how can anyone decide this from an isolated call, not knowing any context of their private history. Added onto that, a history of players not getting along well with Jessica at all, for all of SlayerS' career it seems. Why do we never hear about anything like from ST, IM, EG, mouz, etc.? Why is 90% of Korean drama Jessica-centric and the other 10% from TSL/Coach Lee? It CANNOT be coincidence, with such consistency over the YEARS, literal years, that this has been going on. | ||

Okay. Assuming i did get something wrong, which may be - just clear it up then. Whats your view on what i said? No, it was about the psychological benefits of "living extravagantly" (or to be more general, about the players' level of comfort). Which I said I'd take into account only if it matches what actually happens in the world of Starcraft. Meh, this thread is slowly losing its entertainment value. Actually, here youre right. I mixed up enviroment (as in nice house) and enviroment. I saw living extravagant = good enviroment. My bad. Edit: meh, im too bad at multiquoting -.- | ||

Alicia is a known liar now. MMA believed Manager J, even after he had a clearing talk with Boxer who explained the situation to him. MMA also didnt pay his own personal coach (Coach Ryu) the agreed upon share. Keep in mind that he (MMA) also introduced Coach Ryu as his own personal coach (so it's not that SlayerS hired Coach Ryu and assigned him to MMA). Crank lied to get out of SlayerS (see Cella's statement for reinforcement). He also acted immature, disrespectful and rude towards Jessica (like she said). Crank complained (multiple times) to Jessica & Boxer that the atmosphere in the team was bad. They promised to change it but nothing happened. | ||

Why I wrote extravagantly is because they were living extravagantly compared to the other SC2 korean teams out there. | ||

On October 23 2012 11:41 Disengaged wrote: Well, after reading. What I got from it is that Jessica is evil. Alright, comments like this are really starting to irk me. Let's take a look at Slayers history. Boxer founded the team with Jessica's support. There are multiple documented sources that suggest that if it weren't for Jessica, Boxer wouldn't even have switched into SC2. Let's also not forget all the success that Slayers has achieved - including TWO GSTL championships, a feat that no team has yet been able to duplicate. Who was the manager of the team during all this time? That's right Jessica. Even when times got tough and and shit started hitting the fan, when Boxer wanted to quit completely, who was it that suggested he transfer to SK Telecom T1 to recover his passion? That's right Jessica again. From Cella's tweets, when the team started to go downhill and players were leaving en masse, Boxer and Jessica made it a point to take care of him, asking him if he would like their help in finding a new job - he refused because Cella felt it was his responsibility to look after the players. In short for all you Jessica haters out there, Slayers wouldn't even have been possible without her, and here you all her blaming her exclusively for it's downfall. | ||

It's interesting that Jessica didn't mention the thing with Coach Ryu Won before. I wonder what the actual truth is, not as told by her. | ||
