Fuck this is terrible. At least MMA didn't get demoted to the B-team because he's just bad now, that would suck even more.
Stay on SlayerS man!

SlayerS is full of drama

I heard MMA ate some of Boxer's favorite cookie dough ice cream and then lied about it. There was also some arguments and high tensions in the team house in the weeks leading up to that about things like MMA refusing to do the dishes when he had kitchen duty and always putting the brita water pitcher back in the fridge without filling it back up.

Ya, Stephano himself squashed that rumor long ago. I can't remember which interview, but he said that he practices around 8 hours in a typical day.

I think that's standard of any high level player.

Hah, what would SlayerS be without MMA? Remember that house tour and then they showed the trophy case and I think everything that was in there was won by MMA? Except the GSTL things ofc, but it was pretty much MMA who carried SlayerS back then too. xD~

Trophies don't mean everything tough.
MMA has slowly gone down in the GSL en GSTL yet Slayers is still in the semi finals.

What the hell? This is the first thing I see when I wake up. I really wanna know what is going on. Demoting someone who has brought the team basically all of the success is just wrong. They better have a REALLY good reason for it.

Hell, no one knows what's going on ? It's been some time now, there should be some explanation somewhere...

Am I the only one who finds it strange to see the fortunes of one of the Emperor's sons fall while another rises?

As MMA gets demoted to the B-team and gets kicked from the house, + Show Spoiler +

meanwhile Fantasy just 3-0 Flash and is going to the finals of the OSL.

Man you would think MMA would be a very big player to keep such a strong showing in the past.

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

I also hate the way koreans think they can just walk into every foreign team no questions asked

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.

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.

Because it is unwarranted. Korean pros might express a wish to join a foreign team because it might be a better opportunity. But it is an unwarrented assumption that all Koreans pros 'just assume foreign teams want them'. That's pretty douchey. Hypocritical much?

I swear, call out someone's somewhat racist thought (all koreans think they can walk into a foreign team? lol) and suddenly all the apologists rear their heads in defense of their bretheren.

If you want to discuss this further, feel free to PM me, since I don't want to derail the thread any further than it already has been.

It seems wrong to keep him on contract while not letting him stay in the team house, he must have done something very bad. Typically people get kicked out of buildings when their social behavior is continuously unpleasant or if they can no longer be trusted. But this is slayers, he may have just insulted SlayerS_Jessica.

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.

It always annoys me to see people call him "Son of BoxeR"... it's a hilarious displacement from people making MKP into a BoxeR clone into MMA becoming his son...

Both of the players really hate being in BoxeR's shadow and you can tell from their interviews... all it is, is spite lost in translation. I mean, who wouldn't be annoyed with having people at least partially attribute their success and hard work with someone else? (Or worse, be compared to The Emperor.)
