I seem to remember him saying something like "I want to have SC2 as a hobby, or find new opportunities" (not a direct quote, just how I remember it). This is a new opportunity and he should be proud! Jessica, however, seems to be a bit of a cry-baby. She is worried about team Slayers reputation and then tweets stuff like this..? Unfortunate for such a great time to be represented by her in those situations.. she is still a woman, and they do tend to be a bit more emotional then men. also given the context of how dragon left the team and then joined the new team, i'd say she has grounds to feel like what she is feeling now | ||

How has he given them a bad rep at all? For free he gave them exposure by being the most popular SlayerS streamer. | ||

It's not leading around, for the love of god. Jessica is not the "mother" of every person on Slayers. She's their boss. Their employer. If I am unhappy at my current job and resign, I don't have to tell my employer if and when I decide to get a new job. The idea that a progaming team, management included, is an actual family is a crock of shit perpetuated by people who, in this metaphor, would be the Mom and Dad controlling purse strings. Yes of course you can feel kinship and gratitude and loyalty towards your teammates and even your manager. But it is not an obligation to do so, and has to be mutually earned, instead of assumed a priori. | ||

Regardless of how you personally feel people should act culture is ingrained and impossible to just change over night. I understand that, but that doesn't mean I need to respect it, or not criticize someone for acting in this way on a global stage, which the SC2 scene most certainly is. Much as I dislike Western attitudes towards sex and violence (too prudish about the former, too permissive about the latter), I also dislike Asian attitudes towards professional relationships. It is simply a way too convenient mindset perpetuated by those who are in positions to exploit their subordinates. This is not appropriate public behavior from a person representing a major team with international sponsors. | ||

So she called dragon a liar and a kid , thats worse than Katu . I hope that next to this comes the explanation for stream-cheating. | ||

A. Korean culture is different from "western" one, values different things (differently), expects different behaviour from people, etc. B. I think the people creating "the drama" are the people overblowing Jessica's statement of disappointment with Dragon's behaviour towards his clan and teammates. | ||

Someone take away her twitter... She's not helping her team at all with it. This is not a good business move at all. On March 07 2012 20:38 bmml wrote: Tweets like this make her sound like a crazy woman... Seems like Boxer broke the golden rule. Lol @ Barney Quote | ||

Jessica and SlayerS Eve, how she is going to sue people for bad-mouthing SlayerS, etc. It stacks, if she didn't want people to think badly of SlayerS based on Dragon's actions, why raise the issue up at all. If Dragon leaves Millenium now or "lies/deceives" them for another team, it would be on him and the association would be purely on him. Now it's about Dragon and SlayerS and just puts him in the dirt in addition to giving SlayerS a pointless victim role if anything or an organization with a tempered manager. The three strikes thing was me trying to be the writer. As you can tell, I'm not Fitzgerald. I don't know how your mind works, but when I think Slayers, I think of Boxer, MMA.. etc. When I think SlayerS, SC2 comes to mind. My objection is with the fact that you took your thinking and portrayed it as the 'people's. Sorry I wasn't being very clear. I'm no Fitzgerald either. :D | ||
