But if Team 8 cut major (asked TRUE to retire?) to make room for Coca, rather than orderly close out the team, then I'm happy for Coca. Team 8 needs a strong zerg. | ||

Touchy issue for you being a huge slayers fan. Don't wanna bring up old emotions n stuff. I totally get that. I'm just suggesting that since a whole lot of former SlayerS members have ended up on KeSPA teams that says something. You know, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck? Now, what it says I'm not exactly sure but I think it has to do with them feeling slighted by ESF. That doesn't mean I can place the blame anywhere definitively I'm just saying theres a definite trend with where the former players are heading. | ||

He was playing ByuN in an ESV weekly, ByuN was losing hard and asked CoCa to leave in the game chat, obviously this was considered to be akin to match-fixing and so both SlayerS and Prime benched the respective players for a while. It's especially tragic because CoCa was easily a top 5 Zerg at the time, and whatever restrictions SlayerS imposed upon him pretty much robbed him of the opportunity of greatness at the time. Hopefully he'll get back into a similar shape soon though. ^^ | ||

Details are clear and facts are facts, Coach Won as a respresentative of eSF did this: On October 19 2012, StarTale's head coach Won Jong Wook resigned from his position as president of the e-Sports Federation amid a controversy regarding the relationship between the Federation and the recently disbanded team SlayerS. Kim "Jessica" Ga Yeon, manager of the latter organisation, had indeed explained that the members of teams affiliated to the e-Sports Federation were instructed for a period of many months to not practice with SlayerS's players, which was a significant detriment in preparing for tournaments. | ||

Details are clear and facts are facts, Coach Won as a respresentative of eSF did this: As I already said, it isn't that clearly cut. Back when this happened, I spent hours going through shit and found many instances of players on both sides thanking each other for practice during what was guessed to be the ban period when I was in the midst of pointless, emotionally charged debates. This doesn't mean that there was not a ban, it just means that what actually happened between the teams during those months isn't as straightforward as "they never played games against each other". Right though, I am going down the wrong road right now, I think it's time I leave this thread! Grats to CoCa!!!!!! | ||

In one of the korean leagues maybe a year ago or two, Byun had the series lost but Coca gave him the game to go to the last set. CoCa was punished and sent home for a while Damn. A surprisingly accurate telling of what happened. I always enjoyed how skewed the retelling of the events usually was :/ Wait, I thought CoCa had bet 1,000,000 eSports dollars on byun to win the match? And there were 8 code A spots and 4 code s spots up for grabs ![]() Actually it was a direct seed to the WCS grand finals. | ||

Figured they would have announced it after he qualified for Code A, but either way, CoCa has been wrecking KR ladder and qualifying for Code A should show he has what it takes to hopefully retake his spot as one of the best Zergs around. I think back before he gave up Code S he had a ridiculous ZvP win-rate, or something along those lines. | ||

Hopefully we find out more pro league info soon as well, I can't see Kespa picking up players if pro league isn't going to start up again quickly. | ||

Myself not caring if a team is kespa or ESF and having no loyalty to either organization I'd much rather see IM in Proleague because as a competition it is much better than GSTL. It airs more often, It's more serious, the competition is better, it's aired on OGN so they get more exposure. | ||
