After thinking about it for 30~ hours I'd just like to point out that SlayerS didn't actually make a big deal out of it. The article states this:

According to press materials released by SlayerS on the 17th of this month, MMA has been demoted to the SlayerS B-team removed from the team house. This measure initiated on the 16th of this month, while the reason for this disciplinary action remained unrevealed, cited as a internal issue of the team


All that really means is that they made an update to their A/B teams and it was reflected in their press materials. That's all it means. There could have been any number of things related to the team in the press materials and that could have just been one section. It doesn't necessarily mean that was the full extent of the press materials. But either way they didn't shame him .. Just stated that he was now on the B-team, not in the team house, and that it was due to an internal issue.

Shaming him would be doing what was done over Twitter when Golden and Dragon left the team. Obviously everyone, including Jessica, learned from that experience.


Golden wasn't shamed at all, as far as I'm aware. He even wrote a letter about how much he loved SlayerS


I wasn't sure which one of them was, just that they left at the same time and there was all that twitter drama about backstabbing and such. Unless I'm mistaken?

She was talking about Dreagon, because he told them that he was retiring so he could focus on his job. Then he joined Mill and started playing fulltime. T_T

Or he could just, you know, tell the team and not the public.

Also he should join SKT T1 or LG-IM, forget foreign teams.

Fantasy and MMA on the same team for sc2 would be the greatest thing ever.

Or MMA and Mvp.

Wow. What a let down. I guess they're trying to work things out behind closed doors, considering they seem to be rather close to each other. (judging by Cella being in MMA's booth).

It's strange though, how did TiG know that MMA wanted to look for a foreign team, if MMA is not really wanting to speak much now?


TiG also didn't show the official Team Press Materials, so we don't know what was really said by SlayerS (direct quotations?). All we're going on is a translation of a news article on a website that's blown things out of proportion before, based on supposed press materials supposedly released by the team.

TiG might be making most of this stuff up -_-''

You'd think SlayerS, and particularly Jessica wouldn't be taking an issue with false reporting from such a notable Korean esports website?


WHICH MAKES EVERYTHING EVEN MORE CONFUSING

They might now, but at the same time what are they gonna do? TiG is one of the few outlets actually actively covering SC2 in Korea.

SlayerS states that MMA refuses to accept his demotion, and has expressed his desire to join a foreign team.


Also, MMA's 'no comment' more or less confirms the story in TIG. If you also doubt the authenticity of the Interview, it is done by both leveltory and TIG so unless you think they are both making it up...

Edit : Could you point me to a case where TIG made things up, because I don't remember any. Unless you mixed them up with DES.

It would be bad for EG-Slayers relation if EG picked up MMA. It is quite unusual for player caliber of MMA to be so under-productive so maybe he is fooling around more than he practices? I am sure they will be able to resolve this internally since MMA is such a big part of Slayers name.

Couldn't it be as simple as MMA talking to representatives of other teams and gettin offers and Jessica found out/MMA told her and she got angry since she considers it as disloyalty?

Well TiG might also be telling the truth. Would be easier to tell if we could see the press materials.

Didn't say they made stuff up, just that they have blown something out of proportion before. Nothing specific comes to mind, but it'd be hard to find any news outlet that hasn't done that before (unfortunately)

Of course it could be that simple. It could be anything. But the issue that's been pointed out several times is that we just don't know yet. :/ Anything said is just speculation. The wait for actual information is killing me.

In the interview, MMA said he doesn't want to talk about anything else except the match. So we don't get anything about the whole shenanigan. But he said thank you to the foreign fans that are keep worrying about him.
