ImageOne of the most successful professional Korean teams in Starcraft II is gonna close the doors and leave a big hole in the Korean gamer scene. There are a lot of rumors and countless threads on forums, interviews and comments where people speculate about reasons.

When the next game series in the GSTL against MVP is finished on November 3 the korean team SlayerS is not gonna exist any longer. It will be the final appearance of the team and the players - at least for team SlayerS. The manager Jessica announced that a short time ago.

Many facts seem to be uncertain, but it is certain that there have been numerous reasons for the decision that was ultimately made. Jessica pointed out that SlayerS' players have lacked loyality and motivation to stay on the team. She gave KR Seong Won 'MMA' Mun as an example, as that player said, according to Jessica, that he wanted to join another team. Other players who have been dismissed earlier also made some troubles.

The fact that KR Yo-Hwan 'BoxeR' Lim left seems to be another reason as well. That is the opinion of some players of SlayerS, as it appears. However it is still not certain what the reasons were: What is right, what is wrong? There seems to be a whole lot of them. KR Yang 'Alicia' Joon Sik was giving some information on problems in an interview, which revealed that he left SlayerS some time ago already.

Other sources claim that Jessica took some of the money which was meant for the team as a whole. Additionally some players mentioned that Jessica was heavily focused on the GSTL and didn't notice or at least didn't show that she was happy with big wins in 1on1 tournaments. Favoring GSTL players by paying their travel costs while other players had to go with buses or trains by themselves on their costs could be another reason as well.
