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.

Well I assume the reason will eventually come out, esp. if MMA switches to foreign team soonish(when contract is up). Seeing as it isn't out yet, I doubt it will, until then though.

Plenty of entertainment.

Closing this thread would just push this trash into every other thread that involves GSL of SlayerS in any way. You can put your trash in a can or you can pile it in the street.

I second this, but rather than close the thread, simply lock it until more news comes out. If there is no more new developments, then quite frankly there isn't really much more to discuss.

Nobody knows anything about anyone's contract in all of Starcraft basically.

*sigh* I feel like SlayerS will never release a statement D:

Close the thread and reopen it when/if something comes out of SlayerS or MMA.

Google translate:

Crank: Well, as soon as they get up in the morning really fuck's sake.
Ryung: Temporary disconnected as soon as you get up really

Sounds like they're surprised as well?

This is so sad. I'm such a huge fan of MMA and I can't believe a team such as SlayerS would do this, especially without giving a reason :/ I hope atleast the reason is legitimate.

Why would they give a reason if its embarassing or shameful?

If it was embarrassing or shameful, MMA would not be against the punishment as stated in the OP. Also, if it was truly of a sensitive nature, Slayers didn't have to issue press materials about it ASAP, they could have kept it quiet in many other ways.

Obviously they are quite good at silencing their players, so they clearly could have not issued a PR and told all their players to keep it quiet.

They chose to publicize MMA's demotion and expulsion and the fact he wants to join another team. They chose to leave the reasoning for the punishment as unstated.

I think the writing is on the wall, and its ugly, but people's respect for Boxer is holding them back from making the obvious conclusion.

I don't think Boxer's in charge there anymore. None of this reconciles with anything I've come to learn about Boxer these past 2 years of following SC2 closely.

Agreed. Somehow someone has managed to take his team and therefore his friends away from him.

Could it be Cella? Jessica? Eve? Maybe Ryung?

I don't know, but Boxer would not do something like this. Especially not to a GSL Code S champion. And even more especially not to the GSL Code S champion that he has called his son.

I'm thinking maybe someone like Liquid would really want a Code S champion. Maybe EG.

If MMA went to a foreign team I see it either being something like Fnatic or Millenium or someone like Liquid or EG.

from what i understand its just a writer that wrote an article from something he heard from someone, maybe one of slayers player or someone that knows whats going on within slayers. seems to be its something within slayers and words got out from some of the player's reaction to it via tweeter. there's nothing official from slayers, from your previous posts you seem to think they made an official statement about mma but there was none. they're not obligated to explain the situation to anyone.

there's really no need for baseless assumptions. some say boxer is not in charge anymore, its also possible that mma became a arrogant jerk, maybe he was lvling someone's account, who the hell knows, speculations are speculations.
