The article goes on about when ganzi first began playing SC2, Mvp approached him and they played together. Because IM had a slot open in the amateur division, they tried to acquire Ganzi, telling him that living conditions might be bad. ganzi said that as long as he has a place to play sc2 he doesnt mind and joined, becoming #1 on the ladder in a few months
With this increase in skill they decided to enter him in a tourney (dunno which one) but the night before the tourney, Ganzi expressed his interest in joining slayers.
The IM coach, sort of disappointed, contacted coach Sung sang Hoon (is that cella), who said they never offered Ganzi anything. The coach apologized and hung up, Ganzi left the house next morning without a "Thank you" or "sorry". Furthermore Ganzi texted the coach, saying that he was no longer welcome in slayers so solve this for me (i think thats what it says, my korean is pretty bad these days).
ganzi was never contracted to IM, but the coach was still angry cuz he had accepted Ganzi only a few days into Ganzi's entrance into sc2, and thought Ganzi should be more grateful. He also wasn't sure if he was talking to slayers while he was in the IM house
So he approached a bunch of coaches ( I believe all are part of the Sc2 con they had prior to esf). He NEVER advised the group to ban Ganzi from joining a team, rather, he wanted to make sure players couldnt just hop from team to team.
He became more mad when Jessica said a bunch of things about IM regarding Ganzi (such as IM was asking 500 000 won for stayin in the player house (of which Jessica claimed there were 18) and that they just fooled around and never played the game)
IM coach rebutted, saying that only twelve players were in the house, and that he had never made money from the house, asking 400 000 won from 7 of the players
he states that the confederation never hated Slayers for this, but he himself was disappointed at ganzi for never being thankful to him

She only helps herself by airing this out. It helps no one else, including us.

sad story ... 
Slayers is/was one of the best teams

On one hand, yes this is Jessica's account and no we should not trust it. On the other, I don't like the fact people are automatically bashing Jessica for this unfortunate situation. Until more information arrives, we can't start off accusing people of shit.

This thread could do with a lot less sexism. If you'd substitute some of the sexist remarks with racist ones there would be al lot more bans (no, I'm not a woman).

Wow this interview with Jessica really shows how poor of a leader she is.
Slayers choose not to join the federation, then they get mad when players from the federation don't want to practice with them?
Then bashing almost all of your current and former players, because she recruited the wrong manager and kept a distance from key team members.
Take some accountability for your actions..... You are doing some real mental gymnastics to somehow make this Jessica's fault uh I never said this was her fault... just pointing out this interview really points out her flaws as a leader. I think you are twisting this too much. If you read the article, it points out that some of these things were out of her reach. You can't account for other peoples' actions especially when the ball isn't in your court. If anything, she deserves more respect for protecting the team and their players. If you don't believe in something, why are you going to join them, especially when they are so quick to turn against you without hearing both sides? Twisting what? this is one side of the story (hers) which you can clearly see a lack of leadership on her part. She is basically saying everyone was out to get her and she had no idea why this was happening, which is poor leadership at its core. Also ripping all your players right when they are going to be looking for jobs is really bad form... If what she says is accurate then the players don't deserve jobs Yes I'm sure everyone on the team was terrible and she was an angel and the best leader of all time!!!!! happy now? someone must have a crush rofl... If you hate Jessica so much, why not just leave the fucking thread? Giving someone the benefit of the doubt because you suspect their emotions are sincere is not the same as having a crush on someone. Get over yourself. I said she was a poor leader and that does not equal hating someone.... If you think she is a strong leader based on that interview I am interested on hearing why. You're the only person in this entire series of quotes here to ever say anything about what kind of leader she is. I'm not going to give my opinions because they would obviously be lost on you; your bias is quite clear and your disrespect of other forum members "someone must have a crush rofl..." diminishes my wishes to have a conversation of any kind with you.
I actually agree that her post at least doesn't inspire confidence in her communication and, to some degree, leadership ability. She has repeatedly stated that she doesn't understand why all of these people are against her. It sounds like either she doesn't understand what's going on or, more likely, she is way too emotionally involved to take a step back and try to fix the problem.

I feel like there's a ton of speculation and accusations happening here without knowing the full story. We have Jessica's side of everything, which is a good start and probably the most comprehensive, as she interacted with all these players. However, I can't in good conscience say nasty stuff about the players and others involved until I get their side of the story. Before we all declare Alicia, MMA, etc. as divas and "bad for esports" we should at least get their side of the story and see more evidence for what's been said here.
I do find it hard to believe that this one team managed to have so much drama, and somehow everyone but Jessica was responsible for it. Even if she wasn't the main cause of drama (and I think she definitely tried to make Slayers the best team it could be) you cannot be in such a position of power and allow this to happen without making some mistakes or errors.
Finally, I think airing all the dirty laundry as the team collapses does nobody any favors. It makes Jessica look like a drama queen. It makes the players look completely unhireable (which sucks for someone like Alicia or MMA who're obviously extremely talented). Finally, it makes the whole Korean scene look shitty with the accusations to ESF, IM, etc. Nobody gained anything from these revelations, people are only going to be hurt by them.

Leadership is not about dictating on the basis of contract legalities or because you are the manager. (I know, many people in actual management positions fail to grasp this as well.) Based on Jessica's own statements, she seems to lack a comprehensive and unemotionally burdened conflict resolution process - perhaps because of her deep emotional involvement and conviction of looking out for a player's best interests. But I am interested in your opinion on Jessica as a leadership figure.
She and Boxer must have done something good. You don't accidently win a GSTL title, develop a consistent winner, and secure early sponsors if you're as incompetent as some members of this thread like to claim they are.

I mean to be brutally honest it was predictable that Slayers will have to disband( ), but this is blowing my mind...

Assuming what she says is accurate, it gives us a better understanding of the scene and players there. Negative or not, I find that interesting.

Disagree. ->IF<- she's right, at least we will get a new picture of our cherished "korean eSport-World". Which seems to be in fact nothing more than a corrupt shithole with alot of backstabbing right now. And thats actually nice to know.

Well, there isn't too much. Only because people say Jessica is a drama queen and she doesn't appear to have good management skills, that doesn't mean it's sexism. Maybe i missed more offensive posts though. Her being a drama queen is something that is based on many articles in the past.

Exactly this interview does NO ONE any favors (SlayerS, the players, Korean E-Sports).

You're right and she and her staff deserve credit. But you also don't get everyone to stop respecting you for no reason. Somehow you never hear about other managers/coaches have all these problems.
