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.

SlayerS, y u no update?!
I realise that they need to first settle things in their house but a little more intel would be very very much appreciated
I did not think of esports as a hard business until now (8+ hours of playing to stay in house, we need to work 8+ hours to keep our job, so basically the same). That's why i can only think of a personal problem or MMA beating up someone/breaking Korean law. This could be the reason why no updates at all (if a financial aspect was the problem, they would've told us, wouldn't they?). To just respect that if MMA wants the community to know, HE should tell us...

nothing new here and all i say is made up by me but would be reasonable i think.

I really hope not.

If people in Slayers get punsihed for falling in love with eachother I will never watch any Slayers game again.
It's a totally sucking, inhuman and retarded rule to have. Most people fall in love on the workplace, if you forbid that as a company you are everything that is wrong with today's business.

If a couple is professional enough this should not be enforced.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

I think MMA hooked up with MKP and proceeded to leak vital information to the Prime team

Was he maybe doing something against the rules that they'd rather not share? Account leveling, unsanctioned coaching, something like that to make money on the side?

Didn't want a pay cut in renegotiations is my guess, threatened to go shopping for foreign teams, management shat a "Korean values" brick and punished him.
Not supporting teams who take robber baron money.

If he joins EG, I'm out. I'm not willing to see another brilliant player join their ranks and descend to their level.

Fuck EG, only ThorZaIN, JYP and PuMa are worth anything on that team.

You do realise that is pure speculation, right?

Calm down, we know nothing of the situation. Do not spread defamation about SlayerS, I'm sure they'll release an official statement in the coming days.

I do hope SlayerS releases an official statement soon, sure people make question there decision for demoting MMA/Crank depending on the reason, but it has to be cleared up.

It's not "fanatical hatred" - it's been said numerous times before that players who join EG are substantially weakened as players.

Look at PuMa, HuK & JYP. HuK isn't even half of what he used to be.

Probably called out Jessica on being a bit of a drama queen.

Anyways, good luck to MMA and it sure will be strange seeing him with a different team tag infront of his name...

People always do that crap. As soon as any player comes up for grabs or changes team, there's the usual rush of ridiculous "OMG, he's going to win everything now" and "Calling it now, Liquid'blank/EG.blank/Fnatic_blank!!" posts.

I hardly think Fnatic can be called a foreign team now. That ship has sailed.

I think this answers itself.

As for the OP. Team have allways been cryptic about player mistakes knowing that telling the truth can ruin a players career. That being said. If the transgression is not actually something the player should be punished for it would be nice for the fans to get full disclosure. Obviously a team is never going to admit overreacting though.
