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.
There are spoiler tags for spoilers. That's actually really not okay.
Yeah. . .just got the match spoiled for me. Great. :|
you weren't going to watch it anyways
What? I have a yearly pass and have watched every single GSTL game.
I'm actually watching game two of the match right now. First game was great, just a bit of a shame already knowing the results.
I learned a long time ago to just stay away from TL if there were matches I didn't want spoiled. It does seem kind of silly to expect not to get results spoiled on a message board that is largely based on the discussion of events and such.
So I did some research of my own after I saw mongmong's post this earlier this week:
On July 21 2012 21:49 mongmong wrote: hey guys ive been browsing korean starcraft forums today and there was a thread about GSTL (todays match obviously)
and some guy said he went to the GSTL today and heard jessica briefly say that MMA's punishment was due to physical
And the biggest eye catching comment was definitely this one: Person A: 문성원도 어서 팀이랑 화해하고 1군 복귀햇으면 좋겠다. 들어보니 구타사건이라는데 자숙은 하되 팀은 나가지말았으면 Person B: 헐 구타사건이요!? 자세히 좀 알려주세요 Person A: 아 자세히 몰라요 곰티비에서 마지막 경기 이기고 인터뷰할때 김감독이 스치듯 말해서리 -0-
Translation: Person A: It'd be nice if MMA made up with his team and made it back into the A roster. I heard that the demotion was a result of an assault by MMA. I don't care if he gets punished for it, I just hope he stays in SlayerS. Person B: Wait, what, an assault!? Could you please elaborate? Person A: I actually don't know all the details myself. During the GOMTV interview after SlayerS-EG won against TSL, SlayerS_Jessica just kind of muttered something out of the corner of her mouth. -0-
So there you have it. Finally something that may be able to explain the whole MMA situation. Unfortunately, this was not the case.
I decided to study the VOD in which said interview was mentioned. I watched the Korean version so that Wolf's translating would not cancel out any part of the interview. I watched the interview twice to make absolute sure. And sure enough, Jessica did not mention a single thing about MMA or anything about an assault.
Conclusion: As far as I'm concerned, what this guy said was false information. If indeed Jessica had said something like that, there is no way that only one guy on the internet would be talking about it. I also do not believe this guy heard Jessica directly. The only way for him to have heard it directly would have been if he had actually been there at the time of the interview at the GOMTV studio. But that is also probably not the case because of that whole "staff only" section. Therefore, unless he was a GOMTV employee he would not have been able to hear the interview directly. However, there is no mention of him having any affiliation with GOMTV, nor is there any information that he has any connections with SlayerS.
Anyways, I didn't give up after this. I decided to spend some time trying to find any kind of information possible so I researched heavily for any news regarding MMA. Aside from the TIG article, there is nothing else new regarding the situation. Korean netizens are just as clueless as we are.
I realize that this information probably is not very helpful, but I wanted to make sure no more speculations about MMA having possibly assaulted someone arose.
I find it kind of weird that MMA would go so far as to "leave" the team, but not leak the details (wishful thinking) to rally support for himself if the punishment really is that excessive. But then that provokes the thought (speculation) that perhaps theres more to wanting to leave than what simply appears to be spiting jessica/boxer for his punishment.
