With the winding down of the M&A season (crosses fingers) I have some down time at work to catch up on some SC2 action. I was browsing through playxp.com and noticed this little piece of information that I think was not reported here in TL, so I thought I would put my old translating hat on and give it a whirl.
A brief summary to start: The Slayers clan (sls) will be conducting a 128 player tournament to choose new members for the clan. While this is pretty noteworthy, the REAL news is that members of the clan will be eligible to become the members of sls team.. looks like we may see the formation of the sls team in the near future! The following is a translation of a post left by 임요환 himself on the playxp.com forums ... where he copies a post on his sls clan website.
Hello! This is Lim Yo Hwan.
I'm here posting again after my last post. ^^;
I hope we will have a lot of participants. I have copied the announcement left on our clan website. I hope I won't have to provide evidence this time! [note: a lot of people wondered whether it was the real Boxer last time he posted in the forums regarding the formation of the clan]. I don't post much on the forums, but I read through it every day.
<Announcement: SLS Clan 2nd recruitment>
Hello! I am the sls clan master, sls jessica ^^ (Not the SNSD Jessica -_-)
The second phase of our SLS clan recruitment will take place on Sunday, December 19th.
This time around, the recruitment process will be a bit different from our previous recruitment drive. While the first phase of recruitment was solely for the recruitment of members of the sls clan, the purpose of our second recruitment is for the creation of the sls team.
All members of the sls clan (both those from the first and second recruitment phases) will be eligible to be members of the sls team. The minimum criteria for recruitment during the second phase has therefore been adjusted to be more demanding. While the selection process for the actual team itself will not be disclosed, any sls clan member with skill and passion will be eligible.
Also, members of other clans who are not already a member of a team are eligible to participate in this second phase of recruitment.
The recruitment process will be an offline BO3 128 man tournament [note: no mention yet of how many people are actually going to be chosen]. The top ranked ladder players from each race will be chosen for the 128man field. Please reply in our Q&A forum for any questions. The time and place of the tournament will be announced separately.
Maps for the tournament: Zel'naga caverns, Metapolis and Scrap station.
Please note that the date of the tournament may be changed from the announced date (19th) due to unforseen circumstances.
Also, the previous restriction for application to our cafe [website] is still 2000 point diamond. (Also, please don't confuse this with the the selection process for the recruitment tournament).
Our sls clan values gaming skills but also feel that sincerity, diligence and overall qualificaiton as a teammate is very important. We hope to have many new players who wish to improve their skills and show limitless potential participate in the tournament.
[EDIT: There seems to be some confusion about the differentiation of clan/team. A clan is basically a group of players under a single tag, generally for the purpose of practicing.. a team is basically a managed group of players who may or may not be salaried who will generally live together in a single practice house. In this case, members of the sls CLAN are eligible for selection into the sls TEAM. For those interested, Cella is currently a member of the CLAN.]

Lol. I'm pretty sure everyone knows the difference between a BNet 'clan' and a team  .

Awesome to hear they're still trying to get new members. In the end SLS will be better than all the other korean clans

Thanks for translating it, I did see this the other day and wondered whether it had anything to do with the official team. It's nothing quite so excited, but I'm always glad to see news from The Emperor.

2000 points diamond on the Korean ladder is way better than the NA latter. I play on both and the diamond NA is really more like Gold KR.

Quick question:
- If you make it into the sls clan, do you earn a modest salary already?
Or with other words, can this be seen as a job interview?

Well we as public don't know. What we do know is that if Boxer makes a team he will get additional money for maintaining a team by Intel. Not sure anymore how much but it's quite a lot of money.

That's pretty cool! I was wondering why the previous list was so long, but now it makes a lot more sense. I guess I missed the details the first time around.

Yeah, unfortunately wasn't the news I thought it would be, but interesting to see that at least the team formation will take place in the near future.

It's not fanboism. It's just plain true. And it isn't offtopic, as it relates directly to the entry requirement.
