SO excited though! Axiom Acer is a pretty sick partnership! all the zergs you could ever ask for =), which is perfect for Axiom since they're one of the few teams these days (it feels like it at least) without half their roster consisting of zergs =) | ||

Despite that, very interesting seeing new top tier teams coming together, I'm excited to see how they compete Right now I'd take Scarlett over MMA or Miya or Crank in terms of play. The real question is, where is she going to live? Since shes a girl is she going to share rooms or will she stay in the big guest room? | ||

Since MMA will be living with us on a permanent basis, this leaves the guest room entirely at her disposal. | ||

No we aren't, Axiom is 99% Korean with a Korean practice schedule, coach and team house, with a token foreigner. Yes its run by a foreigner but the squad and management sounds Korean. EG-TL has more foreigners but the house, management and coaching is still Korean, + the korean players do most of the heavy hitting. Legit pushes at the Korean team leagues would be a team like Karont3 or Empire joining GSTL and not getting all-killed in the first round. On topic, great news, glad to see most of the old SlayerS back together and I'm supper happy to see them participate in the GSTL too. Now if you guys could also sign Ganzi it would be the perfect reunion! | ||

The SlayerS players have just come off a tumultuous period, and seeing them in good spirits and with lively personalities may boost team and fan morale. | ||

Korean teams marketing their players properly and producing content like this karaoke video, would be really awesome and ofc draw in a lot of fans. The Korean scene would profit so much from this and wouldn't be so reliant on foreign players anymore, if their own players would be more present to the foreign audience.

Glad to see the ex-Slayers player participate in the GSTL again, gave up all hope on that after Slayer disbanded. Is Scarlett the only non-Korean Acer is thinking of sending over, though? They still have Nerchio here in Europe! Would love to see whether he can cut back his bm on stage... Anyways, gl hf, acer-axiom or axiom-acer or aa or whatever you call your mixed team! | ||

"Trying to live off their past glory"? Have you considered the possibility that maybe, just maybe, these players have developed close relationships and work well together due to their time together on SlayerS, and thus being on the same team together is beneficial to them as progamers? No, that's ludicrous. The real reason must be that TB just wants to live off of SlayerS's "past glory". I guess Azubu's also trying to live off of oGs's past glory, right? -_-;; I hope you're trolling because it's hard to believe that someone can sincerely have such a stupid perspective on something. | ||

Kudos, TB, and also many more kudos to Genna - you're doing it right. People can whine all they want to about "it's SlayerS 2.0" but judging from the videos and personalities presented, it may have some of the same players that were on Slayers but they are individually and as a group different in mind and spirit. They are not in the shadow of the Emperor, and while I don't think anyone would question Boxer's commitment or passion, there is still something to be said for standing apart from his legacy and having a chance to create their own. Oh, and Scarlett - hope Axiom and Acer will come together to help her with Korean, the way that Axiom has been helping their players become more marketable through English lessons. Any thoughts on if you might include any other Acer foreigners in the Axcer eSports archon? | ||

It is not as if Totalbiscuit or anyone from Axiom presents their team as Ex-SlayerS. In fact it seems more that Axiom is doing their best to rebrand these players and present them in a light that perhaps hasn't been seen before. In fact Axiom is probably doing a much better job promoting their players then most other teams in the SC2 scene at the moment and they should be applauded for giving players from SlayerS another chance to work, play and destroy together again. A successful team isn't just one that wins a lot. A successful team is one that works well together, in training, in social situations. A close-knit team will go a lot further then one that has internal strife. | ||

BTW with the team competing at GSTL, does that mean you'll be making more trips over there as well? Maybe some guest appearances on the GSTL English Stream perhaps? Not that I don't like Khaldor and Wolf but I think having you there as a guest sometimes would be appropriate. | ||

They're signing Koreans because they're better players that are without teams. They get the most potential return via tournament winnings by signing the best free agents out there. What foreigner free agents out there are anywhere near the level of the players Axiom has picked up? Sounds like you just are hating on him signing Koreans because you want some kind of affirmative action enforced on SC2. | ||

Ryung just needs to spend more time on MS Paint, possibly leveling up to Photoshop if needed. A few hilariously controversial image edits here and there should do the job because, as we all know, an image is worth a thousand words. | ||

I guess it would be too expensive to pay westerners a decent salary. not sure if i'm violating the terms and agreements of the "care and feeding of trolls" handbook now but . . . TB and genna stated from the beginning that they want to improve the conditions for korean players as there are many deserving non-famous players who have not gotten a chance to shine in korea and because, frequently, many players do not earn money (i believe the majority of contracts do not include salaries) so, unless they are famous enough to get endorsements, many are unable to continue being (and improve as) a progamer. by contrast, (i think) he feels that foreigners have a better chance to earn decent money as a progamer with various teams outside of korea so he wants to focus his help toward the korean scene. if you read TB's comment in the team house thread, you can read between the line and get the feeling that he is impressed by and appreciate how humble the korean players at the house are and how much they seem to appreciate even the little things that he and genna are doing for them and he has, in the past, stated how much he appreciate the amount of work the korean gamers have and are willing to put in to improve and get better. even ignoring all that . . . it's his damn money. if he wants to spend it signing koreans then, y'know, it's pretty damn well his prerogative. | ||

Haha, yeah, I couldn't help noticing that either. They might not line up horizontally, but if you put the tip of the Acer logo in the left corner of the X and rescale it a bit, you could at least make it horizontally symmetrical, and have the leftmost tips of the Acer logo thing line up vertically with the outermost corners of the X (I don't think it'd scale perfectly to line up horizontally, and, even if it did, the Acer logo would obscure the AX too much, I think). ...I think about these things too much. | ||

Now for those who are interested in Gaming/Youtube TB has quite the presence. One can associate Axiom with TB and instantly find a connection. Other teams don't have this luxury... It surprises me that its taken this long for a community figure to finally understand that they are the best ones to promote these teams. A community figure brings hype to the team which actually fosters interest to begin with, rather than someone trying desperately to make a name for their team without any prior interaction with the community. I don't see Axiom failing anytime soon. In fact, I see quite the opposite. GL HF Axiom. You are bringing the hype that this E-Sport so desperately needs (IMO). I think Team Day9 would be awesome. | ||

The only reason she's doing it is because she has a vendetta against the players and wants to make everyone involved miserable, I swear. I agree with this. If Slayers was still up and running, I could see why she is upset. But Slayers already disbanded, not sure why she is trying to make it so hard on the ex-players whom she said she treated like her 'children'. The video even paints Slayers in a positive light. | ||

What normal people do is call their lawyer, tell them to send Genna Bain a letter, and let the legal system take care of it, because I guarantee Axiom isn't going to try to bring anything to court. The only reason to bring this shit to Twitter ("private" or not) is if you want to make a scene and hurt the public perception of Axiom, and/or draw attention/sympathy to yourself. | ||

But still. Yeah that's really cool. I remember how Crank and Ryung went to Axiom and MMA went to Acer and it was kind of a bummer to see them separate but now they are back together. | ||

My bad, I didn't realize that she was unfairly being persecuted for thinking that twitter is something that only her and Axiom's lawyers can read. Like, seriously? Anyone who knows anything about social networking knows that you don't post ANYTHING on facebook, twitter, whatever if you're not okay with it being public, especially if you're, oh, I don't know, a famous actress and a prominent industry figure. | ||

Zenio, HerO, Taeja.. and making them both combined for proleague its probably always Jaedong, JYP, HerO, Taeja, Revival, Puma, Zenio over the foreign players. Thats my point. Axiom / EGTL's most foreign player will probably be Scarlett/Stephano but I still don't consider that a foreign team that can do something / achieve something when the majority is Korean  | ||

Now for those who are interested in Gaming/Youtube TB has quite the presence. One can associate Axiom with TB and instantly find a connection. Other teams don't have this luxury... It surprises me that its taken this long for a community figure to finally understand that they are the best ones to promote these teams. A community figure brings hype to the team which actually fosters interest to begin with, rather than someone trying desperately to make a name for their team without any prior interaction with the community. I don't see Axiom failing anytime soon. In fact, I see quite the opposite. GL HF Axiom. You are bringing the hype that this E-Sport so desperately needs (IMO).

The real question is: Who freaking cares about player to player drama(dumb Slayer's drama at that)? Get pumped for a new team house with a new team that has relatable Korean players. I expect more dumb videoes of the players playing party games. Happy action threater should be the first one, its super dumb and awesome. | ||

Also, what's with all those slayers comment? I'm pretty sure all the players are happy to have found a new home, let's just hope it works out for the best. I really do hope MMA's GSTL come back will be great. If it is, I might buy a pass ^.^ Axiom-Acer fighting! (I think Scarlett is gonna do decently well also, maybe averaging 1.3-1.5 win ratio) | ||

That's pretty cool. I'm not really well versed in this side of Esports, but is it usually the sponsors that look for someone to sponsor or is it more typically the other way around? Also, does Logitech sponsor any other exisiting Stracraft 2 (or any eSports) team at the moment? | ||

It is telling of her personality that after being complemented and being paid tribute to in the announcement video, she chose instead of engage in petty tit-for-tat. It's also utterly unsurprising.

This announcement made me excited for the GSTL more than I was at the end of last GSTL season, even after TSL disbanded and my two favorite players left an ESF team. Best of luck! | ||

I hope you are aware that TB's whole living is based on him not breaking copyright laws since it puts his whole channel at risk. the other question is about the uniforms. there are several related statutes, as the design protection act (which requires registration), general copyright law and the law against unfair practices. from what i have seen the design protection act is probably not relevant as there is no design patent (i only searched with jessicas korean name). the general copyright act might be applicable if the design was made by jessica herself or she had a designer specifically design the uniforms and had a contract that gives her the exploitation rights for the design. the law against unfair practices may be applicable too. the law against unfair practices protects the form and the subject of a product or service. the formfactor of a uniform maybe subject of protection (the last part im not sure so i asked) | ||

Yeah I'm sure TB is investing tens of thousands of dollars into a sc2 team to make money, definitely the case. Axiom is a passion project, there is no way it doesn't operate at a loss. There's no money to be made in running a sc2 team unless you're TL and have their own store ( still probably operates at a loss ) or EG. | ||

I think Crank was the best choice for captain. He seems like a very responsible player that can be that go-to person the players can go to if managers are not available. Not to mention, Crank's relationship with TB could be a factor since TB sponsored Crank to MLG. All speculations of course but either way I support and can't wait to see how Axiom-Acer does in GSTL. | ||

The most vocal parts of any community online and in real life tend to be the extreme positives and the extreme negatives. It's just a response bias on part of people who don't like him or his players. You see it with every big name player or caster to be honest. There are plenty of people with other opinions positive/negative that you don't see post so it just seems like there's a larger proportion of haters than there really is. | ||
