honestly this is just setting up for an epic future story

mma will leave boxer/slayers, and join foreign team.
mma doesnt have success on foreign team, and gets even more down on himself

mma wants to go back to slayers. boxer forgives and welcomes him with open arms (the prodigal son returns)
mma wins a big championship, mma and boxer hug on stage while they are both crying and all of the fans live and watching from home will be crying too

Exactly, even if he wants to leave or wants WAY more money... it doesn't warrant this kind of punitive treatment.

He's a free man..... he was paid to do a job and he did it great.

Until I hear more, all signs point to simply vindictive behavior by Slayers. Unless MMA assaulted someone, there's no reason for this.... he's easily still one of the better players Slayers has.



No, no, and no. If, for example, he wasn't practicing and was refusing to practice more or really anything that was disruptive telling him to leave the house is not too much punishment. Why should a person take up a spot in the house if there are other people working harder with more positive attitudes? Totally fine business decision.

Sure it could in theory be some kind of vindicitive punishment, but we shouldn't jump to that conclusion when we don't know shit about it.

Examples? I don't recall any occasions.

Thanks. But that's a bit different since MMA's demotion was a punishment.

Can people STFU about Jessica all the time? Stop accusing without knowing the details.


I didn't.. O.o I clearly said I don't know what it's about and I start my whole fucking post with if. try reading.

All signs do not point to "vindictive behavior from SlayerS".

All signs point nowhere really. I know you want to support MMA no matter what, but that doesn't mean you need to preemptively blame SlayerS. Chill out

This. So far we know next to nothing about why this was done, so placing the blame on Slayers, MMA or even Jessica (who wasn't even mentioned in the article) is just silly. We need more information, and I really dislike all the hate Jessica in particular is getting in here.

On another note, really hope this turns out to be nothing more than a hissy fit. MMA on a team other than Slayers would be weird, especially considering how close he and Boxer always seemed.

yeah, true, but i think the context is slightly different as we're apparently talking about a punitive demotion. were there really notable, publicized cases of such in BW? can't really remember one.

Sounds about right except for everything after "mma will leave boxer/slayers, and join foreign team".

this is the only acceptable outcome of this situation. Also, after he wins championship he goes on to dominate the sc2 scene and become the new boxer of sc2

MMA doesn't really sound that good with other team tags.

SlayersMMA! Hope he manages to figure something out with the Slayers team

If not, best of luck to him in searching for a new team!

It's strange though, because as far as I know (well we don't know about practice ranks and stuff), MMA still is a better Terran than Clide, and then you've got players in the house who haven't been performing very well at all for ages and still stayed in the house (*cough*Alicia*cough*). Think about it, with MMA gone, Clide and Ryung (and Puma and Thorzain) are the only Terrans left in the SlayerS house. Meanwhile they've still got 5 Zergs (KDY, Miya, CoCa, YugiOh, Min). It just doesn't equate that he was demoted due to a fall in internal rankings.

I don't think this demotion is purely due to results/practice performance. It's probably a disciplinary issue or something, money, lack of practice, other issues.

This is kind of sad, mostly because I feel that MMA was great at the huge maps like Terminus and Tal/Darim, but maps shrunk again unfortunately and gave him less room to exploit his multitasking.

Disregard MKP's tweet.
His tweet was about someone who stole his wallet.

Hmm so you're saying that MKP's tweet was about MMA and he's trying to cover it up?
