MMA got kicked out of Code A by Puzzle in his weakest match-up and ended up losing brutally to DongRaeGu in his best match-up. Mvp is currently in a slump, but he retained his Code S position by thoroughly dismantling a beast in sCfOu (while sCfOu will end up having to defend his Code S spot in the up-and-downs) in a match-up that showed why Mvp is the only player that NesTea is scared of facing. MMA is known for being weak in TvP, and will probably face quite a few Protoss players in Anaheim. He also showed that he's vulnerable to very aggressive mass-marauder play, as shown by Polt. Add that to the fact that it's hard for Terran to defend mass Muta + ling/bling, even moreso from smart players like DRG, and the fact that people that are really good at negating drops can shut out MMA's specialty, and you'll be a very worried MMA fan. I don't just blindly follow MMA. I study his play-style (being a fellow Terran player) and look at his performances objectively, looking at things he could improve upon, and hope that he himself notices his shortcomings in terms of gameplay and manages to tighten up his weaknesses and comes back to win this MLG. Well I can summarise what you are trying to say. However, I don't think it's a slump. It is just people figuring out MMA. MMA is not the best early to mid game. Puzzle, Polt and even DRG has exploited this very fact. Puzzle (well you saw what he did), Polt (yep, early MM timing push, DRG (2 base attack). It doesn't take a genius to figure out, you should not go late game with MMA. MMA is just like another progamer (or maybe slightly weaker) in early and mid game. I hope for his sake he figures out how to defend against early aggression more effectively. | ||

I hope for his sake he figures out how to defend against early aggression more effectively. I believe I have not mentioned at all that MMA is in a slump. I just pointed out that he has flaws that have been exposed by Protoss players like HuK and Puzzle, DongRaeGu for Zerg and Polt Bomber and MarineKing for Terran, which brought about his losses (with Polt and MarineKing, MMA was on both times almost successful in his quick ghost early game sniping push, but completely forgot about the fact that he needed engineering bays back at home to prevent banshee counters... Once MMA remembers that, his early ghost rush can counter a LOT of early game to mid game cheese patterns on TvT due to his great unit control, and he could actually use it effectively for other matchups, similar to IMYoDa's cloaked ghost mineral line harass and broodlord counter snipe). TSLPuMa had MMA as a practice partner recently too iirc. That would be a very valuable learning experience. | ||
