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.

What could MMA have possible done to be demoted out of the team house? Obviously everything is speculation, but unless he set something on fire or walked around punching people in the face, seems sort of like an overreaction.

If the stories about MMA plundering Eve's main with his timing attack turn out to be true, it'll be a funny story indeed.

Maybe she ignored his Xel'Naga tower and crushed his destructible rocks when he tried to make a move on her second natural.

Well, if it's in a contract then chances are good it's also in the contract that the team maintains the right to remove MMA from the team house etc.


Without knowing what caused him to be demoted and him to 'fight' it, everybody's just pissing in the wind.

Something Eve or at the very least girl-related wouldn't be surprising at all considering how it's all kept internal and how MMA is contesting the decision as it's less clearly right or wrong.

Remember why did MC leave oGs?

MC left because SK were offering a lot of money.

you're probably right that its in the contract, but i still find it hard to cope with contracts that allow the team to basically cancel most of their service to MMA, and MMA being unable to do anything about it in return.
Why don't teams give any rights to their players?

What MMA has done to be promoted is not part of the problem i'm having here.

Pretty sure he also mentioned wanting to stay with his GF.

No worries. Atleast 10 of those pages were EG bashing.

MMA is my hero, sad to see this happen. I hope the best for him, either he'll stay in Slayers or if I'd get what I'd wanted, he'd team up with Genius and viOLet and form a superteam. If he chooses to leave I I'd probably stop cheering for Slayers.

Sad to hear this. Hope he can work it out and stay with Slayers. If he truly leaves to join a foreign team, I hope it's a team that has a presence in Korea, like FXO or Fnatic. I don't want to see another top Korean joining some mediocre foreign team and never against having a shot at being relevant in the GSL.

MMA? The ONLY terran to rival MVP. How could he be demoted to the B team just for missing one season of Code S?

Taeja beat Mvp...

And I think if you read the OP or any of the pages in this thread, it is pretty clear that this is not for performance issues alone.

And right now MMA probably could not beat Mvp.


Idra crushed mvp 2-0.

MMA still top 5 terran, which of course doesn't put you that high with the current game balance, but he's still a top top terran.


Personally, I see MKP, MVP, Byun, Taeja as the clear top 4 (no specific order). Then you have a large logjam with Jjajki, Gumiho, aLive, Keen, MMA, Ryung who all show they can compete with the very best but just not as consistent.

Why don't teams give any rights to their players?

What MMA has done to be promoted is not part of the problem i'm having here.


I think the bigger problem is the lack of an organization to defend a players' rights when punished by their team/tournaments. If a sports team suspends a player without pay, that has to be justifiable to a players' association or federation or whatever.

Assuming that MMA's demotion is not justifiable, what recourse does he even have?
