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.

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


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


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


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.


Pretty likely. His strength was always TvZ and the matchup is broken, and his weakness was TvP and that's got harder too.

Starting to understand why so many SlayerS players talk about MMA as a douche. Very unprofessional of him to make a scene out of this, no matter what the reason is. He is still contracted by SlayerS, he should not be removing slayers tag etc.

there are always exceptions but as a general rule of thumb hard work and dedication gives you success in GSL.

How is it "Korean bashing" when he says that Koreans who just assume foreign teams want them are being douchey? They're being egotistical at the very least. He even says that MMA might be right or wrong, it's more the assumption that the poster is taking offense to. I swear, question something/someone and suddenly you're hating on them.

I don't even necessarily agree with this guy, but the kneejerk racist/xenophobe labeling that goes on is ridiculous.

Do you really think that Stephano practices 3 hours a day, week before big tournament goes ski and then wins that tournament? Did you heard of anybody else who would be similar? Think twice before you believe everything you hear..

What Stephano says about his practice regime is pretty much a bullcrap. He works as hard if not harder then other pros. EU pros have spoken about it and also EG players did when Stephano was there.

Edit: Not arguing that there is no "talent" aspect to it, there is something else then just work making people like Flash be godly at the game, but Stephano does put a shit ton of work into his play.

Woosh

I think most of the Slayers players jokingly "hate" MMA for making them look bad, not because he is actually an ass. Second, let's wait until the full story comes out before making such damning conclusions, shall we?

Not really going to read too much into the situation until more info is released. Regardless, MMA sports a Tigers hat so therefore I have love towards him.

They're too busy working and practicing which is the correct thing to do rather than just tweeting and speculating more which would be like pouring petrol onto a fire.
