Exactly, even if he wants to leave or wants WAY more money... it doesn't warrant this kind of punitive treatment.

He's a free man..... he was paid to do a job and he did it great.

Until I hear more, all signs point to simply vindictive behavior by Slayers. Unless MMA assaulted someone, there's no reason for this.... he's easily still one of the better players Slayers has.

We all know what happened here.

Eve, jessica's daughter, had a crush on Boxer's son (mma obviously~). However, MMA was secretly in love with Crank, who loved Ryung, who loved Eve. Eve asked MMA out and Ryung heard, and he was like OMGWTF and decided to steal MMA's skill for a game to impress Eve (vs DRG). MMA didn't go out with Eve and tried to see Crank to go watch OSL, but Crank was in GOM studio watching Ryung's sexy play. Crank went to OSL after Ryung's matches with Ryung, where MMA was sitting by himself crying in a corner. MMA saw crank with ryung, challenging ryung to a duel for crank's heart in the greatest of challenges.

And so, after hours and hours of a bo9 all MU BGH games, MMA emerged victorious after beating ryung in set 9 when he drew protoss against ryung's terran. When Ryung's marine range-expand into stim firebat drop with proxy wraiths failed to MMA's 5gate goon 1star scout, Crank realized that he really loved MMA. Eve, heartbroken, decided that she would make love to the forgotten son to spite MMA, which caused Boxer to break free of Jessica's brainwashing and realize that other terran players actually existed. Shocked at the extent of Jessica's ploy to put Eve and MMA together, Boxer decided to stop playing because Jessica was actually crazy. Angry that MMA's non-eve love broke her plan, Jessica declared that MMA would be paid less than the janitor that works at NSH academy.

MMA was really upset, and declared that no foreign team would ever treat him this badly. Crank, in search of true love, declared his support for the son of Boxer, while Ryung was wondering why Jessica was such a bitch because hey boxer actually remembered his name once and he got laid and Eve was being emo and began to only play squadron TD.

The end :D

I'm curious just what team he would plan on going to.

• If EG wants to remain with SlayerS I would assume that they would be unable to pick up MMA.
  
• Liquid might not just because they already have Taeja--a better performing Korean Terran--and if this thread is any indication of what is going on I am sure there will be a bit more controversy regarding a team's acquiring MMA (Liquid never seems to get into the middle of big player/team drama situations).
  
• Fnatic is hardly even a "foreigner" team any more, as it seems they are focusing a lot of their efforts on training Korean players to play in Korea. Perhaps I am discounting them a bit, but I would be really surprised if a Korean player searching to play for a foreigner team chose to play for Fnatic.
  
• Empire/the rest of Russia and Eastern Europe seems to be more concerned with acquiring foreigner talent rather then pursuing Koreans.
  
• Millenium certainly does not need any more Terrans, and since they already recently acquired fOrGG and they are probably trying to hold onto Stephano, they will be more focused on other matters/players.

Obviously any of the teams above probably could pick up MMA, but seeing as he has not been performing well recently, there is some sort of controversy between him and SlayerS, and the fact that Terrans are just not in high demand right now, him getting a position on a foreigner team might be more difficult then I one might think. Plus I am sure that MMA would expect a huge price tag to go along with his being traded to another team. So the major foreigner teams that that leaves us with include: coL, Quantic, mouz. As a big mouz fan, I can honestly say that mouz.MMA would actually be an incredible sight to see. It still doesn't have quite the ring of SlayerS_MMA, but I think I could eventually learn to accept it. coL already has two Korean Terrans who are performing as well if not better then MMA. Granted, GanZi's relationship with MMA could possibly be a key factor in helping MMA get a position, but seeing as coL just invested a ton of money into their foreigner's training house, acquiring MMA might require funds that seem a bit too much. And finally you have Quantic, a team that does not mind its controversial players, has no connection with SlayerS, clearly has money, and they could use more Code S Terrans. Perhaps Quantic could pick MMA up, but I'll be honest, I won't be a fan of Quantic.MMA and I will never be able to get used to that name.

Of course, if MMA gets back into Code S and starts to play well there, literally everything I just said goes out the window. If he starts playing like MMA back when he won the GSL, then he can get a position on literally any team that can afford him.

Oh man, buckle up boys and girl (lol),because we have some serious E-SPORTS drama incoming on our position. No doubt this will have something to do with Coach Lee going to the press and Stephano joining some random team again.

What's next, MKP leaving Prime? MVP leaving IM? MMA is as attached to Slayers as these others, it's incredibly weird if he leaves. I doubt it's performance issues, I mean yea, he's in a mini-slump, but he's still in Code A (and possibly going back to Code S this season), which is better than 80% of the rest of Slayers; he also almost beat DRG in a Bo5 at IPL recently, so it's not like he's doing super bad. And besides, every top players (MKP, MVP, Nestea, etc) have all been in mini slumps going down to code A before.

The good news is that now I dont think Marineking would ever abandon prime because of that tweet. Really good to hear.
