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.

In the midst of all this, let's just be sure to remember that Slayers is a highly respected and established team, and there is likely a reason for all of this.

too bad for mma... he was an absolute monster for quite a stretch of time, but seems to have become a bit stagnant (although a "stagnant" mma is still a scary one). i wish him the best of luck in finding whatever he's looking for!

Most sports teams / coaches have rules when it comes to girls

Source?

Do you follow sports at all? I generally only watch football but even then it's pretty common to read / hear about coach-player tensions regarding when they're free to go meet girls / their wives, especially when big events like the World Cup come around. Just google fluff pieces about the English football team.

It's also a general myth the that athletes don't perform as well the day after a night of playing hide the pickle.


Esports aren't comparable to actual sports, and are far less regulated when it comes to matters like this. Many major SC2 players have girlfriends and it hasn't been a problem. I think speculation on girl troubles is fine, my problem is with the assumption that everything must be Jessica's fault, or that Eve is somehow involved, etc. MMA is SlayerS most successful player of all time, and their figurhead alongside Boxer. IF he isn't practicing as much as other players, or is seen as not working hard, it would make sense for SlayerS to attempt to address it one way or another.

I think speculation about Boxer makes more sense. After all, MMA is his protege. He certainly wants the best out of him, and may hold him to a much higher standard than other players on the team.

MMA got tired of losing multiple TvZs to Min so he took a dump on Min's keyboard while he was sleeping. Generally, shitting on other people's stuff are considered socially unacceptable and it explains him getting kicked out of the team house.


This seems resonable enough. Too bad for MMA though. He is my 2nd favorite Terran player after MKP

fruit dealer is not "forgettable" he had the best storyline ever and he was the first champion in a time when zerg were getting crushed because terran was OP. he simply just didnt care enough about the game anymore to keep practicing and keep up, so he's playing LOL now. many people will never forget what he did during season 1. that was just magical.

Boxer seems like a nice guy. Dont think he would demote him if he has not done something really bad.

sad to see this. MMA belongs to slayers.

MMA is playing his Code A match tomorrow. Let's see how he performs and if he will wear his SlayerS jersey.
If you make no mistake, yet still lose - you don't understand the game. Spiral out, keep going.

my speculation:

slayers most likely have weekly or monthly in house tournament to determine who stay in the A team. As MMA is in a slump right now, most likely he lost and have to be demoted to B team and had to move out of the team house. Maybe he refuse to accept this fact as he used to be the ace of the team, thus leading to this drama

I highly doubt there is a reason worth mentioning for this. It will be "I said this and he didn't do it" kind of stuff, just a random small thing. Ofcourse, all rumours and speculations till we hear the real story..

I don't know about that, MMA is certainly good enough to remain on the A-team, and he wouldn't be kicked out JUST because of a poor result in an in house tournament, theres definitely something going on, and we all must know what. :-D

I really wish they had made an 8 man GSL champs tournament before they get a 9th champ....
But yea as someone said earlier FD will not be forgotten, although I'd be willing to bet if Wolf/Khaldor/Tastosis didnt mention Jjakji was a GSL champ every so often no one would remember it

Imagine that. We hear big news and try to think of why. I've never seen something like this happen and its very contrary to human nature. I agree that this is a very strange occurrence. Especially considering how much information has been made available to us. Its all so cut and dry that there's not even a need to speculate!

IMO the onus is on Slayers to say why they did this. They need to giving a good reason for why they have dis-respected the face of their team and a great GSL champion.

Slayers has shamed MMA, and they need to explain themselves, because no one like to see someone with MMA's credentials and track record being treated like this.
