Boxer's thoughts were probably along the lines of "life's too short to try and manage a team with this crazy bitch"
Whoa, didn't see that coming. I wonder what will happen with Slayers.
Lol at anyone shocked or surprised with this news. SK Telecom has always been the team Boxer has forever been associated with, and probably holds more emotional sway and memories for him than Slayers ever did. I wouldnt be surprised as well if it offered him way more stability and financial compensation. For most of these old BW guys, their original Kespa teams are always gonna be what they consider their true home. The Emperor finally coming home to the house that he built.

Dude probably misses being around alot of the guys he mentored and spent almost a decade with.

hope to god this postpone his return. I was hoping for a comeback in time of HotS. cool to see him back working with his original team but I hope this doesn't mean he is retiring from competing.
he wasn't even doing anything.

Its still weird to go from team you built to a former team you built lol. Even more when the current team is named after you and is run by your wife/gf.
he was in code s at the start of 2012 and is still one of the only SC2 players worth cheering for out of respect

Well that Kespa/GSL team agreement said no players can transfer over until some time in 2013. So he should only be allowed to coach.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
As avid a Boxer fan as I am, I'll still admit that he was in Code S because Taeja (or was it Ryung?) won his match against some other dude letting Boxer continue on. He was promptly knocked out of Code S after that and his shoulder injury IIRC.
that kespa agreement was also with esports federation
slayers isn't in the esports federation

Im pretty sure I read that SlayerS were also in the agreement too. Could be wrong I guess.
I didn't know he was seeded in by a team mate. I recall him doing decent though in his last code s appearance. He got knocked out by jjakji. It wasn't like he got totally stomped. You could tell he was still practicing a ton for his code s group.

True, but I dont think their is any doubt that Sk Telecom is where Boxer feels most at home. I mean, pretty much the whole roster is still the same, and he's built up such a relationship with them and the team. I think many tend to forget that Boxer didn't really neccesarily want to go to SC2, but the writing on the wall for him that he could not compete whatsoever in BW, so he made the switch. It was a great move for him, and a great idea to leverage his name and reputation into SLayers, but its telling how quickly he jumped back when the opportunity arose.

IEM has been boring overall but the Nestea v Killer match was awesome (earlier today). The group stages should be more interesting
But he's still going to be mainly focusing on SC2 regardless tho, just with a former BW team.

I meant, he's quick to go back to the team. Obviously BW is done.

Speak for yourself. I'm in already, just waiting for it to start.
You should give me your friend key then when you get one
No, give it to me

Theoretically my friend has 5 more spots. Practically I am too shy to ask him for more than two (me and my brother).
Not too shy to break your old friend panda. ;_;
It's okay, canadians are not allowed to hold grudges.
I'm in the same boat as you, only I'm the only one of our friend group who plays SC2. Every beta I feel more shy cause there a few opportunities that I can actually see the friend anymore....

the only reason you see most 'pros' anymore is that most events are invitationals.
