You neglected the part where he was a translator and strong member of the community from the broodwar days...

Boxer is a sacred cow that cannot be harmed. Attacking Boxer is essentially career suicide in Korea it seems, their idol culture puts our fanbois to shame. I'll give Jessica credit for one thing, she's taking bullets for her fiance on this one by the looks of it. It's just a shame she decided to do it by clusterbombing everyone else.

I think you're first of all belittling alot of people with that statement. But as to the reason for my comment on it, I think you're very much understating the impact that Crank may have had. It's not solely his leaving, but reasons given for leaving and subsequent actions. If you think that's not a reason for response, that's your opinion, and if I may say so, quite lacking in empathy.

Jessica herself stated in her first statement that at times she was reckless, so to say she doesn't take any is ludicrous. I do admit however, that more self reflection might do her good.

That's Korea for you. Why do you think so many idol groups pop up? How many idol groups are actually successful based on talent? Look at SNSD. I wouldn't say they have talent in terms of singing compared to IU. SNSD got the looks. That's it.

I don't think this is about hurting Jessica's feeling. Jessica is attacking Crank at a very personal level because
1. Crank attributed to the break down of team Slayers
2. Crank's unprofessional behavior of not showing up for the team match just a day before the scheduled day
3. Crank was let go (released) from team with the promise of medical treatment, not seeking a foreign team

Imagine Crank cancelled his MLG appearance on you the day before hand. Would you be pissed? Probably not if it was for sever medical reason. But then he quits the team citing medical reason and absolutely not to seek out another team with a better offer. Weeks later, he gets signed by EG. Then in an interview, he calls you an unprofessional manager. I hope you'd be pissed.

To be honest, to a guy that's been living in a quiet American suburb from 3 years old to college graduation, the phone call transcript looks like Jessica told a guy who's suffering from debilitating neck problems and just straight up told him they were going to try to fuck his life for little/no reason (The whole "you lied to me so I'm going to destroy your life" sounds like some poorly written yazuka/triad movie that you'd see at an amateur film festival). I don't know what the Korean audience is reading in that, but I can't seem to see how Jessica would come to a conclusion like this.

I seriously don't see why crank acting "rudely" to his elders even matters here. Jessica's story about crank yelling at boxer "what did you ever do for me" seems like a lie or at least a huge exaggeration at this point, not that a statement like that is even grounds for a witch hunt of his magnitude. When you fire people in America, you should have security escort them out in case of sabotage or even downright violence. What crank did is incredibly mild, even justified.

Jessica is seriously the cancer here, regardless of how "right" she was before this debacle. I wonder if this type of shitstorm generator tactic is actually a Korean PR control technique. I can't see this do anything positive for her career, whether she wins or not.

Gross exageration, thanks. May I ask why you feel it necessary to do so? Trying to paint me as something I am not?

Also why do you make so many twisted statements?

Justified or not, I do feel a strong reaction when people criticize Boxer. Maybe I should move to korea.

I know he is human and has the same lapses of judgement and base motives, but he has shown himself to be of stronger stuff than 99% of people I know and it pains me to see him get shit.

1: Crank didn't attribute to Slayers break down LOLO are you kidding me?
2: He didn't show up because he had a neck injury and said he couldn't play
3:He was released but he was never under a formal contract(written contract), he wanted to quit SC2 but he found his passion again so he signed to a different team because he didn't to have anything to do with what was going on with Slayers.


Your points are in-complete and don't tell the whole story behind them.

Does anybody here remember the first day crank started streaming, someone in chat asked if he was looking for foreign team and he said yes.
I remember it because I was thinking maybe liquid'crank

But in his statement he said he only wanted to seek out personal sponsors etc after streaming didn't give him enough money

You have a total of 258 posts.

80 of them are in this thread. There are so many in the other SlayerS related threads from the past week that the profile search won't actually show all of them.

Think about that.
