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.

I wonder how much times LiquidMMA has been suggested :D.
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.

Can't deny that Liquid'MMA has a cool ring to it.

What the hell could possibly inspire such fanatical hatred? I'm genuinely curious.

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.


It must be nice to live in a fantasy world where players decrease in skill once they switch teams. The rest of us however live in a world where HuK is not winning back to back championships not because he's become worse but because other players has become better. The korean training regime is starting to pull ahead at this point and once that ball gets rolling the skill level compunds manyfold within the teams.

From what I've seen/heard on reddit/twitter I can assure all of you that MMA will be joining ROOT-gaming, you heard it here first!

Your opinion.

On top of that, there's no evidence that Puma or JYP have weakened as players, and JYP has contributed immensely to SlayerS's GSTL run. I'm not a fan of EG, but claiming that players who join EG get "substantially weakened" is just bullshit.

This is stupid, as with Boxer not in the picture as much atm MMA is like the face of SlayerS.

If they don't have a valid reason and don't come out and say what made MMA get demoted, they just look like the bad guys

Friend, saying you're a fan of something or you like something does not validate your next statement.

You understand that JYP's PvT is shaping up a lot since he joined EG, and PuMa has done very well under the EG banner?

You're hatin'.

This isn't a discussion about EG's players, go make another thread about it if you really want to.

How could he ever join EG as long as they have a partnership with Slayers, u gotta think before wishing those things guys ....

It would make the most sense that SlayerS would be ok with him going there cause they could still use him in GSTL an he would still have use of great practice partners. Plus EG would add another great Terran an have a trifecta of good terrans. Not saying it will happen but there is logic to back it up.

Not to mention that MMA and SlayerS have a lot of history, he'd probably miss his friends in the SlayerS house and would want to keep as in touch with them as possible. :-D

Maybe the top Koreans are seeing how much more freedom the foreighn teams offer, as well as very good money. Koreans like to keep a very tight hold on their players, maybe too tight.
