Following the end of Korean-based SlayerS, eleven players were left teamless, but half of them have already made the next step in their progaming career, negotiating/signing with new teams or switching fields altogether.

SlayerS' disbandment came after a rough year for the team rich on player departures and management problems. Nevertheless, a lot of prominent names were still on SlayerS roster until yesterday and the public eye has been curious about where they would go from here. Gamespot's Rod "Slasher" Breslau took to answer that question.

So far, only Ryung has his StarCraft 2 future figured out. The terran player, known for his Code S and Super Tournament top eights as well as several top sixteens at MLG 2012, has already signed with recently-founded Axiom and will be under Genna Bain's management. Axiom eSports itself was founded a month ago on September 16th with the then sole member Crank and is thus far following Bain's definition of being a "small and selective team".

Still undecided is the fate of terran ace MMA. Throughout his career, Boxer's apprentice managed to score premier golds at IEM, GSL, MLG, the Blizzard Cup and, most recently, the Iron Squid tournament before finding himself in the middle of an incident that would have him demoted to the B-team and removed from the team house. Now officially part of no roster, MMA is in negotiations with both Axiom eSports and Evil Geniuses.

"It is said that MMA developed a strong connection to the Evil Geniuses over the course of the partnership, with both management and players, and is his optimal choice for where to go next," states the source.

NASL and two-times MLG finalist Alicia is also a question mark and the protoss is likely to sign with a foreign team, negotiations with several teams including Complexity are already in the motion, writes Breslau.

It has also been reported that three of the ex-Slayers will retire from StarCraft 2 and seek to pursue career in another progaming field, namely League of Legends. Those are Code A July champion Puzzle and the zerg duo Min and Coca. There is still no information about to which roster the three former StarCrafters will go.
