Can't wait for the full story! I wonder what the demotion is for? If it's disciplinary reasons it's going to be quite juicy since MMA doesn't agree with it!

I know, WTF? HE was hyped up as Boxer's son for more than a year. He is the prime player people think of when they think of Slayers.

Reality-shattering news this is.




Hopefully everyone calms down and work things out, I think MMA is too important to Slayers to lose. But it will be interesting to see where/how much/what mma wants to see happen.

Damn the imagination on some of you people :D

TSL players are sent out internationally out of Lee's pockets (at least thats the way its been). From the sounds of it, the TSL-Millennium partnership is more/less a training partnership similar to oGs-TL or SlayerS-EG.

Because players usually change their handles after they leave teams, most of them do in fact.

sure that makes sense but as punishment? it's not like MMA isn't good enough to be on the A team

Could just be rebellious. A changed twitter name doesn't mean anything official.

This can't be true! They need to heal wounds. When I think Slayers I think Boxer and then I think MMA. So he can't leave.


Edit: When is his contract up anyway?

So, when DRG changed his twitter name to EGDongRaeGu he joined EG? Obviously this is a different situation, but nothing is 100% conclusive. It does say that MMA and CranK are clearly unhappy about something and most likely trying to/looking to leave the team ATM. However, like the article said, at least in MMA's case, there are contractual obligations and he can't just leave.

He could just be cutting ties with Slayers and being a rebellious kid, trying to make them know he wants out NOW.

Now we wait for:

A) Slayers to persuade MMA to take his discipline like a man
B) Slayers to release MMA and let him join a new team
C) Slayers relents to MMA, take away his punishment and everything goes back to normal
D) Slayers says, 'Fuck you', don't let him out of his contract, kick him out of the house and basically keep him in limbo till his contract ends.

Dude, are you kidding me? Yes he's been underperforming of recent, HOWEVER, look at the rest of the SlayerS A team people who have been underperforming for the longest time. Fuck ALICIA has been underperforming for a waaaay longer time, yet they still let him stay in. How about the rest of the Slayers team for that matter, correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm not mistaken they only have like what 2-3 players in the GSL? Plus he's the one that has done most for the team, help them clutch the ace matches in GSTL.



I can't imagine SlayerS without MMA.



How have anyone been under performing?
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/SlayerS

Slayers are doing great, and ALICIA just took 2nd damn place in the nasl

My context was that Alicia was doing well some time last year, he was hyped as Protoss savior, and the he disappeared from the GSL altogether for like half a year or more, with no results. That would have warranted a kick from A team had MMA been kicked out for results.

But as is, it seems it is a disciplinary issue.
