OMFFGGGGGGG LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

this is what happens to every single player who hits the #1 spot in this game. get too confident and then get complacent which eventually leads to a "slump" period. mma, mvp and now drg.

i feel bad that drg wont be playing in either of the finals at his hometown. but such is life

Mvp came back and beat Squirtle, DRG WILL be back for another GSL champ, MMA seems like hes at the point of no return...


MMA will be back, he showed amazing games a few days ago in Code A 2-0ing Hero. He needs to find a new team though ( Hope he joins LG-IM )


Honestly, LG-IM is probably the last time I want him to join. They already have the deepest lineup along with MVP, Nestea, MC and Seed.


It would be great for him as a player because he would be getting a salary while still on a Korean team, living in a Korean training house having some of the best practice partners you could ask for. I get that some people wouldn't want him to join because " I don't want to see one team have all the champions " or something, though.


I'm quite confused by this. I could see this point, but LG-IM as a team did not rampaged team leagues though their combined GSL titles count is 7... I wonder if it's a matter of team leagues.

But if it's only a matter of "Not all the best in the same team", I don't understand what could be the problem...


Some people just don't want to see one dominant team, and while LG-IM's GSTL performance was extremely underwhelming for what they are capable of they are still one of the best teams out there. ( and are currently in the winners bracket finals of IPL TAC 3, going up against Slayers )

? finals in gsl is im.seed vs sk.mc what do you mean?

It is not just about the competitiveness. IM coach already gets a lot of negative criticism for not play ALL his star player in team leagues. Imagine if MMA was also there. Basically the coach has to play MVP, Nestea, MMA, MC, Seed and we won't see the up and comers. Who knows if Seed would have develope as he did if coach only played MVP, Nestea, LosirA and Happy while Seed, Yonghwa, True, First, Yoda all had to fight for one spot.

Imagine if Flash, Fantasy, Jaedong, Bisu, Stork were all on the same Proleague team.

This is a fair point, I was not really thinking about team league set up only about how MMA could practice with such a great team in a good environment while still getting salary. He wouldn't have to join a foreign team, which for most Korean players who joined foreign teams means a decline in skill. ( of course there are exceptions like MC. )

Didn't see the results before now... Poor DRG Had the opportunity to play 2 finals in his home town. Ends up with none.

Time to cheer him up with another "zerglings for DRG" =)
What a player

Not at all, but he wanted to play GSL finals at his hometown, MC crushed it with a 3-0. He could have played GSTL final there too, and he lost again. It's bad for him, yeah, but I find it quite funny yep

I am not so sure. Hero is doing well and so is Taeja. It seems that players do practice outside their teams a lot (unlike BW) so getting practice partners shouldn't really be a problem. I think the bigger issue is just the travelling and crazy schedule (ie Hero, MC this past month). MC seems to handle it best but remember, he has been doing this (the travelling thing) for over a year while a lot of the other top pros just started.

OMFFGGGGGGG LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

this is what happens to every single player who hits the #1 spot in this game. get too confident and then get complacent which eventually leads to a "slump" period. mma, mvp and now drg.

i feel bad that drg wont be playing in either of the finals at his hometown. but such is life

Mvp came back and beat Squirtle, DRG WILL be back for another GSL champ, MMA seems like hes at the point of no return...


MMA will be back, he showed amazing games a few days ago in Code A 2-0ing Hero. He needs to find a new team though ( Hope he joins LG-IM )


Honestly, LG-IM is probably the last time I want him to join. They already have the deepest lineup along with MVP, Nestea, MC and Seed.


It would be great for him as a player because he would be getting a salary while still on a Korean team, living in a Korean training house having some of the best practice partners you could ask for. I get that some people wouldn't want him to join because " I don't want to see one team have all the champions " or something, though.


I'm quite confused by this. I could see this point, but LG-IM as a team did not rampaged team leagues though their combined GSL titles count is 7... I wonder if it's a matter of team leagues.

But if it's only a matter of "Not all the best in the same team", I don't understand what could be the problem...


It is not just about the competitiveness. IM coach already gets a lot of negative criticism for not play ALL his star player in team leagues. Imagine if MMA was also there. Basically the coach has to play MVP, Nestea, MMA, MC, Seed and we won't see the up and comers. Who knows if Seed would have develope as he did if coach only played MVP, Nestea, LosirA and Happy while Seed, Yonghwa, True, First, Yoda all had to fight for one spot.



This is a fair point, I was not really thinking about team league set up only about how MMA could practice with such a great team in a good environment while still getting salary. He wouldn't have to join a foreign team, which for most Korean players who joined foreign teams means a decline in skill. ( of course there are exceptions like MC. )


I am not so sure. Hero is doing well and so is Taeja. It seems that players do practice outside their teams a lot (unlike BW) so getting practice partners shouldn't really be a problem. I think the bigger issue is just the travelling and crazy schedule (ie Hero, MC this past month). MC seems to handle it best but remember, he has been doing this (the travelling thing) for over a year while a lot of the other top pros just started.


Like I said there are a few exceptions, but the majority of them who leave to join foreign teams decline in skill. While Taeja and Hero are doing well, Zenio is not.

As far as I know Taeja always practiced from home anyway so changing teams didn't change his practice routines much.
