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.

When MC changed from oGs I still always called him oGsMC. It's like if MVP or NesTea left IM. It just isn't right :'(


Personally, i still want MVP to join team Mvp.

Wasn't there a history of MMA being the star of the team but not really part of the team on a personal level, i.e. his teammates don't really like him that much? Or am i confusing him with someone else?

I have never seen anything that says SlayerS team mates not liking eachother. You're probably confusing him with someone else

why would a foreign team want a player who can't accept a team's decision?

foreign teams should build up foreigners not take on koreans when they fall out with their team

Because the decision may be unfounded? Your post literally makes no sense. Why should foreign teams pick up bad foreigners and build them up when there are already better players? How is that fair to the players that practice harder and are better at the game?

No Korean thinks that, but they *know* most foreign teams would want them. Because, you know, they're better than foreigners.


by building up foreigners I meant foreigners who are working hard (maybe even harder) than certain korean players

Your last point makes no sense tbh, surely "knowing" requires them to think, anyways I just think that is is douchey that some korean players just assume that a foreign team would want them, it's not to say that this is right or wrong just that it comes across as douchey

The baseless speculation in this thread… it hurts so bad.

This situation is interesting though, I've always got the impression that MMA, Crank and Puzzle are the senior members of the SlayerS team, so for MMA to get demoted to B-team and both him and Crank to change their twitter names then there is likely more to this than just MMA getting punished and wanting to join a foreign team.


Crank is definitely not a senior member of the team. He's a relative newcomer. Alicia has been on the team since the early days, as is Ryung, who had been with the team since the first GSTLs. Puzzle was acquired late-summer 2011 from Zenex.

Crank is often at GSL supporting his teammates, while Ryung and Alicia are not. Crank was also on SKT1.

If foreigners were working harder than Koreans, there would be a Foreigner GSL Title....

Irrelevant when it comes to seniority in SlayerS.

Alicia and Ryung were the 1st generation. CranK only came in few months ago.

not really, talent has a lot to do with it, stephano doesn't work as hard as other players but wins because of "natural" talent, plus there are a lot of boundaries for foreigners to overcome in korea while competing in GSL so this can also play a factor, it is more complex than just who works the hardest

Perhaps he received offers from foreign teams promising him a better salary and showed that to Jessica in order to discuss a pay rise, which was then seen as unloyalty.

That's exaclty my point. Stephano could take a GSL if he worked as hard as the most dedicated koreans....

There are talented koreans and koreans who get results because of insane preparation.

Some foreigners have talent (Stephano is the best example), but lack some work (I'm not saying they don't work at all, don't misinterpret ^^), exception is Naniwa...

It's visible in how Koreans dominate the scene, though some foreigners still manage to get some tournaments, but only foreign ones. GSL is still Korean only (with never more than 3-4 exception, 1 in code S).

Yup I agree. But it includes an incredible discipline when it comes to training imho.

If talent has a lot to do with it, why not capitalize on talented Koreans to win games and sponsorship for your team? Foreign or not has nothing to do with it, again. Let's drop your Korean bashing and get back to speculations about MMA.

MMA is going to stay at SlayerS imo. He is too valuable to be dropped. Still one of the best Terrans in the world. His slump might have to do a lot with -all- terrans having a hard time currently.
