Please stop with the jokes/posts that speculate something sexual or scandalous is at play here. They do not contribute to discussion and are generally of very poor taste.

It's so sad to watch SlayerS slowly fall apart. GanZi and Taeja both left for foreigner teams, you never see BoxeR play any more, MMA has dropped out of Code S, and now this. It's just sad to think of what SlayerS used to be and what they are now. They are obviously still a great team, but they used to be the Terran powerhouse that could beat any other team in the teamleagues. Oh well, poor SlayerS, but I would be really curious to hear what MMA did to warrant being put on the B Team.


To be fair, BoxeR is just playing less because he's assumed the role of head coach, and because he's recovering from some sort of shoulder injury I believe?

Just my repost from other closed thread.+ Show Spoiler +
I love MMA more than SlayerS, but I think MMA had intentions of leaving SlayerS already. No one would want to join a foreign team out of no where, must have thought about it for a while. Maybe if he said he wanted to join a different team and not just a foreign team, it might've sound that he is just reacting without thinking.
I just hope MMA will be happy with whatever happens in this situation. It will be kind of awkward if SlayerS won't let him go and he doesn't want to be there. Also, if SlayerS do let him go... just sad for us fans, but it might be for the best because if MMA feels the need to leave and find his passion to whoop some asses again, please do so.
Sad to see everything blow up into something so big. :\
Mmm, what to watch.

Maybe MMA stole MKP's wallet and SlayerS are punishing him for it, but MMA doesn't want to accept the punishment because it's his form of retribution for MKP stealing his early 2012 Terran bonjwa status?


Oh crap, this is probably the most likely answer.

Hmm so you're saying that MKP's tweet was about MMA and he's trying to cover it up?


Ignore Wax. He loves drama.


I do enjoy reading of drama

but if you're looking at this timing and seeing it as anything else, you're naive

How would MKP know about the inner dealings of a different Team? What's the point of covering it up? I think the likelihood of it being about a stolen wallet is far more likely than it being about SlayerS.

I mean suppose its like you said earlier and he just read an article about this. He automatically assumes its about money because theres no way he could know anything for sure, so itd be an assumption. Wed still be taking his ASSUMPTIONS for fact. Its all pretty stupid.

its crazy news look at how much people just get to it on TL.
I really wonder whats going on and whats happening over at Slayers.
MMA was a slayers for awhile now and has he does have the skill to be one of the best terrans
in SC2. They probably went through alot of decision and time for this.
I don't think he should join a foreign team, because i don't think there's any out there that will increase
his skill. He should just join new korean team. MMAPrime

WHAT TO BELIEVE?!

Bad save or not, I believe it because I saw that tweet long before I saw any of the SlayerSMMA articles, and with the news blowing up MKP neded to defend himself.

soooo MMA stole MKP's wallet is what I gather from this? Well MKP has been making more money than him lately. Seems legit. To the B team you go MMA.

Wow crazy news. I know it happens and he hasn't been playing up to par but to do this to what was once your top player is a bit ridiculous. Even as a leader they need to have him aboard.
I have a question...

yeah, true, but i think the context is slightly different as we're apparently talking about a punitive demotion. were there really notable, publicized cases of such in BW? can't really remember one.

I've already linked one, but sAviOr was another big one. He was temporarily demoted to the B-team in 2008 as well. You can find many, many more reading the BW roster change threads over the years.

The only reason I bring it up is because BoxeR is a huge proponent of the BW house system, and when I first read about the demotion I thought it would've been similiar to all these other ones from BW. Maybe it was some kind of punishment though?

It's strange though, because as far as I know (well we don't know about practice ranks and stuff), MMA still is a better Terran than Clide, and then you've got players in the house who haven't been performing very well at all for ages and still stayed in the house (*cough*Alicia*cough*). Think about it, with MMA gone, Clide and Ryung (and Puma and Thorzain) are the only Terrans left in the SlayerS house. Meanwhile they've still got 5 Zergs (KDY, Miya, CoCa, YugiOh, Min). It just doesn't equate that he was demoted due to a fall in internal rankings.

I don't think this demotion is purely due to results/practice performance. It's probably a disciplinary issue or something, money, lack of practice, other issues.


Are you freaking stupid or did you just fall on your head? Have you not seen Alicia finish runner up twice within the last month? MLG he got second to DRG, and this time he got second to Stephano at the NASL3 finals, yesterday at that as well (which face it, most P lose to Stephano anyways, all other imba, OP, ect talk disregarded). At least know how the team members are doing before you call them out.

it could be that he just tweeted his opinion without thinking and a coach/friend told him it's a bad move? im not sure but you gutta admit the timing is pretty impeccable. also the fact that his "explanation" tweet wasnt in reply to anything

He was talking about everything until the last month. Because Alicia really was achieving nothing until all of a sudden recently. pdd knows his stuff yo

Thing is SlayerS are actually quite a small team (particularly, as of recently and if you don't count the countless SlayerS clan members). Also there haven't really been any notable demotions due to bad practice performances/internal rankings.

Min, CoCa and Taeja (I believe he was at the house forawhile) are the only three who were at the house and left at some point. Both Min and Taeja left on their own accord while CoCa was forced out due to the Byun incident. I find it very unlikely that he was just demoted due to poor results and practice performances.
