So...
First Chris says that Jessica rejected a personal sponsorship for MMA and Boxer.
Then Jessica, basically, threatens Razer to say that it was Manager J alone.
Then Razer comes back and says that it was manager J, but also deletes the tweet.
D r a m a
So if that was the case everyone should not blaming jessica and blame manager J for taking over her email? I am confused

Stupid move by a Razer manager IMO. He's just put his company in the frontline of this whole mess without making himself clear, and now he has to backtrack like an idiot. Stupid move by the Stracraft community telling the sponsorship manager for one of the largest sponsors of our scene that he is stupid for trying to clear things up. Razer might have a nice view of the SC2 Community and all the drama we create or stir up. Nice image we're creating here .. I wouldn't wonder if Razer starts to push much more money into LoL instead of starcraft ... -.-* What we're doing right now with Chris is showing him what a minefield sponsoring SC2 can be for his company. It's not that he owes us anything. They are sponsors!
Huh. I'm just stating the facts and what I feel of having him jump into this whole mess. The way I see it, the situation of Manager J has always been delicate and is clearly being handled behind the public eyes.
I'm all for promoting SC2, but I'll call stupidity as it is.

Actually, you're wrong. If anything, Razer is slapping Chris for acting out like an idiot. You just don't make comments like that in the business world. He's probably good at what he does, but a little ignorant in the global business world in general. At the very least, in the communication of it all.
Stupid move by him.
Btw, have you take a look at the LoL community? lol.....

Someone early was asking for a nice short summation of this entire mess. I now provide it, free from any sarcasm and without exaggeration or distortion.
+ Show Spoiler +
Jessica announced that SlayerS is disbanding after their last GSTL match in the first week of November. Proceeds to say stuff. SlayerS players (past and present) say stuff. StarTales coach says stuff. Razer says stuff. Massive shit storm of accusations, counter-accusations, claimed proofs, rebuttals, and released phone transcript. The end result is SlayerS disbands, and StarCraft 2 goes on. Communities in West and in Korea gnaw on the bones of drama for several threadnaughts. Boxer does not say anything (yet, I think), because he's the new head coach of SKT1. People take sides for or against Jessica. Doesn't really matter to anyone actually involved.
Seriously, the TL;dr version is - SlayerS announced to be disbanding; in the announcement, drama starts. Shit storm follows. While Forum Warriors pick sides and battle, the world keeps on spinning. No tournaments or leagues are significantly harmed.
The Community (on all sides) strikes again.

Why isnt there anyone pitchforking this Manger J guy?

My god, I can't even follow along anymore at this point T_T
Maybe when this is all over I'll be able to read a summary of the whole fiasco

Not sure. Does he have sponsors we can write to? Also, if Jessica does the right thing (sue the hell out of Manager J - I'm sure they've done something actionable) the identity will become public.
------
On a different topic - why would Razer delete the tweet? Because Jessica probably has zero problem with threatening them with a lawsuit of some kind over it - and while it's possible they could win a lawsuit (depending on what "proof" there is on either side, and if it's all hearsay, and what venue it's tried in) the cost in time, money, and potential negative exposure simply isn't worth it to the company.
------
Aerisky, I think my summary is probably the best way to look at it. Although the OPs of major threadnaughts have been reasonably good at keeping their OPs updated with new information. And of course, it's always possible there will be a breakdown of events on SotG, LO3, ITG, or from Slasher's sources.

Well, that's going to be one hell of a Final Cut once everything is over and done with.

But why would Jessica reject a sponsorship?
:s Just speculation, but possible reasons would be 1. GSTL partnership with EG (Steelseries) 2. Personal Razer sponsorship for only BoxeR and MMA would make it VERY difficult for the rest of the team to get gaming gear sponsors.
First point didn't hinder them forming a partnership in the first place, even though boxer was already sponsored by razer.
And to the second: On the one hand, again Boxer is already sponsored by razer, so I don't see it changing that much, and on the other hand I guess it would be highly unlikely that suddenly another gaming gear company stepped in to sponsor the whole team (steelseries still partnered with slayers and zowie for example already has StarTale)...

God this drama never ends...
And the fact players are involved makes me quite anxious, I want them to continue SC2 and free their mind of this thing...

Is there any reason she provided for not doublechecking what "manager J" was doing since everything went downhill since he was running things? It seems quite naive, don't you think?

Holy shit. how . . . inexperienced has she been to do something like this?

You realize that the deleted tweet from Razer Korea was actually beneficial to Jessica?
