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.

MMA's vT has deproved massively while his vP has improved significantly, however he played really well against DRG, best zerg in the worl atm at IPL hot import night, so idk why he thinks his vZ is struggling.

Complexity might want him to leave Korea and go to their new house like Ganzi is doing. ( giving up his GSL spot completely )

Some people have a negative perception of Complexity in general for some reason.

Not enough good practice partners, I guess?

Their Korean line-up is Heart, Killer and Ganzi. It's really not bad. Nothing like MMA though.

Ganzi's not going to the house in USA. He forfeit because of wrist problems.

And honestly why would he go to the US when coL players like SangHo are able to practice in the MVP house.

I don't get why people get so angry over speculation. It's what the masses has always done, if no reason is given when something big is put out there.

An extreme scenario here, imagine if your president suddenly had to resignate without any real reason being left in the statement.

I think they're afraid of some piece of speculation becoming commonly accepted, which is a legitimate fear.

Yes, because the masses are always doing smart things.

A bit provocative here, but I definitely feel that speculating over and over just bring more harm than good...

Just look at all the stupid sex jokes....

Conspiration or not, truth or not, my suggestion is to calm down. Considering none of the sides released a statement, that means they want privacy related to the matter. Maybe they want to solve it inhouse, maybe it's nothing, maybe they don't want this news to effect their image/gameplay.

Let them decide when and how they will announce, if there is anything to announce. If something really bad happened, u will notice it when MMA joins another team. Till then i say it's better to leave this drama alone because it could effect them both...and i don't think SlayerS or MMA or both, fans want that.

MMA wearing his jersey, Cella, MMA and Jessica talking the interview over behind closed doors and the fact that neither side wants to comment anything in public is very professional, from both sides, and gives hope that this situation might be resolved without MMA leaving SlayerS.

People are not born stupid, they choose to be stupid. If you made that choice, please change your mind.

as professional as they are trying to be by keeping things so hush they are just stirring up more and more speculation which so far May have been leading to the wrong ideas.

I'm glad that both sides aren't making a public statement, or publicly trying to hurt the other's reputation with verbal comments so far. However, I feel it is unfair to the fans to keep this up for too long. We, the heart and supporters of SC2 as an eSport, deserve justification. Also, I seriously doubt that after this type of punishment any player would stay on the same team. No matter the outcome, I expect to see MMA on a different team by the time his contract expires. ProGaming is a job, and jobs need to have a stability factor. It's very unsettling to be "removed" like this. If my job told me I was being "suspended" for any reason, I would begin looking for other jobs. Even if the verdict came out in my favor I would not have much hope for my future in that company.

tl;dr MMA will probably join another team, no matter the outcome of this problem.

I think they're pretty cut-throat and are willing to do what it takes for the most part to acquire talent. Jason Lake (aka jlake, or coL.1) ran a law firm, and he basically founded coL by first taking, or buying off talent from one of the top CS teams in Team 3D in the past and I think that sort of caused a bit of a divide in fans in the NA scene several years ago. I will say this though, I admire his passion and respect him for it, he spent so much of his own money when starting up to basically purchase high level CS players back then.

Since then, coL imo has the funds and means to attempt to sign any Korean pro out of any team they choose to. Remember the Stephano fiasco regarding coL and Millenium? Although that seemed to be a misunderstanding and a failure of communication in the end. I honestly believe coL first started the poaching thing in esports, then EG just made it far more prevalent in SC2.

I dont know why, but MMA has always struck me as being a very professional person. What possibly could have happened in Slayers? My guess is it has more to do with personal attitude toward MMA from the Slayers management. Even after winning today, the look of his face was terrible. I really hope some team picks him up asap, when he is available, if that is the case.

EG took it to a thousand levels higher i'd say ^^.

In the case of MMA, I would dislike seeing him picked by coL, though it could be possible, Ganzi being on coL. I just don't know if they were good friend or not...

This thread on the complexity website claims MMA has been wanting to join a foreign team for quite some time and Col has been reviewing the option if he becomes available

so maybe ColMMA soon?



This was most likely i though since they probably want to replace Nada, but if players who join their team have to give up their Code S seed, I don't think they'd take that.

Everyone has their ups and downs, and it isn't fair to punish someone for having their own!

I just lost a lot of respect for the SlayerS organization.
