Korean team Slayers remains with two terrans less as it was announced today that Dong Ju "Ganzi" Kim and Young Suh "Taeja" Yoon will no longer be part of the roster. Both terran players will search for opportunities to join foreign teams.

Ganzi has long been one of the spearheads in Slayers' terran offensive, being crowned Code A champion in August, finishing fourth in Code S October, fourth at MLG Anaheim 2011 and top eight in MLG Winter Arena 2012. According to TL's translation of the Korean source, Ganzi will soon have to enlist into the military and has thus expressed the desire to join a foreign team in order to experience how this is like.

Taeja's departure, on the other hand, has been rumored for a few days now as the terran removed the Slayers tag from his ID and said on Facebook that he was leaving the team. As opposed to Ganzi, TaeJa was never a resident of the Slayers house but will also seek for a foreign team to join.

Taeja and Ganzi both represented SlayerS well with their results and were also valuable players for SlayerS in the GSTL. Therefore while it is very hard on the team to let them go, SlayerS respects both players' decisions and hope to see them do well in the future with foreign teams. I would like to express my gratitude to both players for all their hard work with SlayerS
