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.

If I had money, I would gladly build a foreign team around MMA. Wouldn't be very foreign I guess, but who cares? MMA!

You can? Did Nestea create an alternate universe for your list of things that will never happen to actually happen?

Another translation says it is only a 16 day punishment... This is just a guy on reddit, though. Still, he translated it line by line.

Puzzle's stock just shot up a few points.

Frankly MMA has been under performing lately (although he did win Iron Squid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)...

I just grasping at straws, but maybe it has something to do with a dip in his motivation and attitude towards practice?

It's also just as likely that Jessica is CRAZY and their recent success in the GSTL san-MMA went to her head and aggravated the issue...

Only time will tell.

Please this is nowhere close to erotic fanfic ( the serious lack of it in the community distresses me greatly ). There is nothing going on right now to update on so people are creating interesting conspiracy theories for the hell of it. When actual info comes out I'm sure the Op will be updated, feel free to ignore the rest of the thread until then.

Sounds like slayers isn't giving MMA what he wants and as a player you can't stick to a team forever. To be recognized as great player in any sport you must play for different teams to prove that you are passionate about the sport and not a particular team.

These kind of demotions were common in BW. The only thing controversial here was MMA's supposed reaction to this move. A player of his calibre would've made the A-team again in a little while.

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.


There was one incident... that time when all those players (that had happened to be demoted over the months prior) got caught doing that thing that involved the words "match" and "fixing". Granted, we didn't know that was why they had been demoted until long after they had been.

Not that MMA did that, cause nobody would be that stupid nowadays.

Probably just some stupid internal shit that us foreigners would go "what, really?" and the koreans think is a huge deal.

Like probe rushing in a pointless match lmao xDD. Though who knows at this point it's pretty pointless to speculate but oh so fun to do lmao.

This sounds like MMA was perhaps loosely talking to foreign teams, maybe just toying with the idea? Most likely something that wasn't terribly wrong, but was just a little unloyal. The team caught wind of it somehow, and demoted him to B-team to make it clear he can't do that while under contract. MMA said screw that, and the rest is history.

Well technically it does if you count the prositutes that the son fooled around with but does that mean that Ryung is going to leave when MMA comes back?
do you REALLY want additional pylons?

He must have done something pretty bad for Slayers to demote him.

He could have made a mistake, because the translation states effective July 16th MMA was demoted to B-team.

Haha well MMA knows what he's worth. Of course he's not going to let his team boss him around.

I always wonder if it's really better for the player to go to a foreign team. Seems to me all the money might not be in Korea, but that's where the best practice environments are. Now if you can join a foreign team and stay in Korea, hooray.
