Otherwise nice writeup As a matter of fact, 'ado' is correct in this case- because of the definition difference between saying 'further ado' and 'further adieu'. 'Adieu' means goodbye, so it would be used in the instance of finishing a good-bye "Without further adieu, i shall take my leave", and ado is a Shakespearean creation that means heightened fuss or concern over something, which in the article serves to transition from the fuss and concern of the introduction into the main body, sorry to be the Grammar Police's Internal Affairs, but that's the way it is... | ||

 Anyways, good writeup. Let's see how MMA will perform with all the SlayerS drama in Korea currently. Wonder who will receive the two Code S seeds this time... | ||

Wow, this was a much better explanation than mine of the first page of "I think you are wrong, and according to google..." It's always very interesting to find out the history of some words. | ||

Ado is "Fuss, esp. about something that is unimportant." and Adieu is "A goodbye." Adieu is french, completely different meaning. | ||

Or maybe he likes the player MMA and doesn't give two shakes of a stick about a drama of misunderstandings and poor communication. Everyone likes Boxer, but some people also like MMA. Despite the drama people can be in both camps. | ||

he should make his comeback to Code S finally (its been a while) HyuN is the clear favorite in this group, though he didnt impress in his games against the Kespa guy (think it was Bbyong?) he should make it through here without much troubles. aLive vs MMA would be the decider for who follows him, both have shaky results lately, but are still a pleasure to watch in Terran vs Terran. Exciting matchups coming up today ! | ||

Ah makes sense, I am also a fan of MMA's TvZ of old but I can't root for him anymore after his shenanigans. | ||
