MMA demoted to B-Team, wants to join foreign team? - Page 6

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.

This is a bit sad. It only takes five pages for this thread to devolve from being about MMA being demoted and wanting to leave SlayerS, to it being how bad Jessica is at management and PR, without her name even coming up in the original news.

That being said, I really hope this all blows over and MMA remains with SlayerS. To me, seeing him anywhere else but SlayerS would be really awkward.

Wow, something serious must have happened. Out of everyone on Slayers, MMA was the last one I expected to be demoted to the B-Team.

I'm very curious about what exactly happened, but I hope we get some answers soon or the speculation will get ridiculous.

Why are people blaming SlayerS (and Jessica in particular)?

We have very little information other than it being an internal issue.

Jessica hasn't gone tweet-mad yet.

SlayerS isn't shaming MMA by revealing the reason. I have a feeling they didn't even want to announce his demotion if not for MMA's resistance to the punishment.

Seriously doods chill out til we find out more

I wouldn't be so sure, depending on what he did to get punished, and what his demands of a foreign team would be.

If MKP's tweet relates, then perhaps MMA got into a significant salary dispute? It would perhaps explain why he wants to go to a foreign team too. We all know that korean progamers are under the impression the trees in America grow money.


If it was a salary dispute, how the fk would MKP know about it? Plus, the article already stated that it was due to misbehavior, not some disagreement with the contract. MKP was most likely referring to MMA's desire to go to a foreign team, if he was referring to this situation at all


Progamers often talk to each other so MKP could know about it. And there was nothing about "misbehavior" in OP.

...while the reason for this disciplinary action remained unrevealed, cited as a internal issue of the team.


My friend who is fluent in korean told me there was a mention about some misbehavior. Also, mma's contract isn't over so why the hell would they be arguing over salary in the first place

IMO it's more than a bit sad. A bunch of possibilities for the dispute and yet people instantly blame Jessica. Sa

I too hope that this all works out good for MMA and for SlayerS.

not sure what he could have done to get kicked out but seems dumb by slayers. mma did so much to promote there team and won them 2 gstl's basically , he deserves better treatment then that.

On this subject. Jessica and Cella tweeted something a couple of hours ago. Could it be related?

Today marks the saddest day in E-Sports forever. Even if MMA remains in Slayers, there will always be bad blood

Hopefully the real reason why can be revealed, I'm sure it is simply enormous or else they wouldn't do something of this caliber to him.

They should really give people SOMETHING otherwise we get the rampant speculation in this thread.

But if he joins a foreign team he will have lost a fan for good, even though he's currently my favorite player.

If anything, the ball's now in MMA's court whether he wants to hit back with a counterargument over his actions. I hope for a reasonable resolution to all of this. We don't need more drama!

im fluent in korean and the translation in OP is pretty much a near perfect translation of the article. so no there wasnt any mention of that
