Anything written on TL about it? A comedian turned actress who acted in various (5-6 showpieces) Korean TV dramas and movies, mostly in supporting roles. Quasi-household name, but not that big. | ||

Question: Slayers had sponsors to begin with, when did it stop being (mostly) self-sustaining? Or was it ever? | ||

I never quite followed the scandal and blow-up. Are any ex-Slayers players still in good terms with Boxer and Jessica? Or are they all like prodigal sons now? | ||

IM is gone, EG is inactive, Prime is really dead, etc. But in the meantime, SlayerS left a massive legacy on Starcraft 2 and eSports. EG only switched games and have one of the most successful dota2 teams, IM got massively fucked with the LG thing, however it does seem that most early sc2 teams (prime, ogs, tsl, slayers) never really knew how to make a successful business. | ||

People like her were very much needed to keep SC2 competitive, especially in the pre-Kespa era. Because people only care for the drama, they never stop to think about it or understand the situation. That's one more thing that hasn't changed a bit in years. | ||

dont get me started with the fucking sponsorship money she was hoarding off for different agendas. just another classic case of a crazy bitch. not rocket science and doesnt need need any overthinking beyond that. *5 years later* "i want to excuse myself from my past behavior acting unprofessional during my time with slayers because it still important to me even though its old news". remember guys, she cares so much about her reputation that she sued people that were taunting her online. batshit crazy and incredibly self conscience. doesnt surprise me that shes still trying to prove to everyone that shes a saint. another note, on the korean game show The Genius Season 2, it was well known that she pushed Boxer to get on it and the other contestants were having small talk about how they were scared of her and that she was acting like she was part of the show coming in with Boxer, etc. FUCK. JESSICA. oh wait, thats not even her real name. FUCK. LIM YO HWAN'S WIFE. User was temp banned for this post. | ||
