As of today (18/10/12) it has been confirmed from multiple sources that Team SlayerS has disbanded. The relevant reddit thread (found here) has multiple confirmations from reputable sources (inc. Slasher). As well as the Korean source being found here.
A sad day for SC2 e-sports, in my opinion. BoxeR, being one of the most well-known pro-gamers in the world had "jumped ship" a few months prior to the news that the team had disbanded, somewhat foreshadowing this.
In their time they have managed to win 2 GTSL's and produced legends such as MMA.
It is widely speculated that SlayerS A-teamers, Puzzle, CoCa and Min have all switched to League of Legends. ESFI reported that CoCa, Min and Puzzle has been sneaking out of the team house to play LoL in PC Bangs. Source
I'm just thinking if these three players are get successful at LoL which they will, how many more korean SC2 players would switch. If this rumor is true?

I wouldn't say they definitely will, LoL is a completely different game. Not even close to the transition from BW to SC2.

I was just thinking extreme, but it doesnt make any sense that they will just switch to a completely new game unless they have already tried it out and can see a career in it. Again nothing is conformed so its all hypothetical
i had SC2sea open before midnight and was browsing /vg/ when it all came out, stayed there reading for a few hours to figure out what was going on and wait for translations. Looked back at sea (didnt refresh page lol...) and saw it wasnt there lmao.
