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.

Did no one effing read my long ass post?

Pro tip: you need to start with what you want people to remember. Quite a few researches show nobody reads and/or remembers the end of the article

On the other hand if you start with "MMA never assaulted anybody, repeat, MMA never assaulted anybody" it's gonna have the same effect as "B-3 Bombers do not exist"...

Ever since Coach Ryu went to Woongjin, i knew something is definitely wrong with team. I mean there were no official statement from Slayers regarding him, did he left for other opportunities or did he had a dispute with jessica before went to Woongjin!? I'm sure most of you guys were shocked as well when we heard Woongjin suddenly hired him....

They read it... the first line that is :D It shouldn't surprise you really, the whole thread in filled with the same crude jokes and speculation that was being made on page 1.

edit: I read your post anyway, thanks for the update I hadn't actually heard the rumours until I read your post but its nice to know that they're baseless.

I read your post and I thought it was very compassionate and thoughtful of you to try and defend MMA against much of this speculation.

I wish you were a SlayerS official however, because apparently they lack your empathy to see that they are smearing MMA by being so vague about the punishment. (Or perhaps they are aware of that effect)

If you give someone the harshest punishment, its only reasonable that many people will assume MMA must have done something horrible to warrant it. Since Slayers won't say anything, they are letting MMA's reputation hang in the wind.

I see very few possible cases where Slayers being transparent and direct are not the best course of action, and in most of those cases MMA should be in jail.

I'm still siding with MMA on this one until there is any evidence he did anything other than wanting to leave the team. To assume anything else is to make up events out of thin air, which I think is extremely unfair to MMA.

He left SlayerS first, apparently. Then he was picked up by Woongjin afterwards.

Hopefully they were just fucking around having fun and then it got out of hand in a moment of bad judgement and everything can be repaired =(

That interview gives me some hope.

It has already been discussed along with a myriad of theories.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=353505&currentpage=65#1287

It's safe to say that no party ever wanted it to come to this; I don't think we will get a formal explanation (nor do I believe are we entitled to one). With all the silence, it appears to me an internal issue; if it were some dispute - I'm sure no one wants their dirty laundry aired to the world.

Another fact is many of those players are quite young; the management have a have a duty of care as guardians of them. There are team rules in place to put order in place. From all the videos and tours of the SlayerS house; it seems very much a family/home environment. I'm sure there is no perfect family in this world, and there will be some times of disagreement, anxiety and stress.

At the GSTL on the 13th July (3 days prior to so called incident), MMA was listed as the Captain (in Alicia's absence) showing he was still respected. The players have enormous pressures on them to succeed, some flying here and there for matches; Cella constantly says they stay up training and practicing especially for GSTL. The team house environment and atmosphere must be very difficult at this time preparing for the many different events.

We should be encouraging all parties involved - it's not the players that are hurting, but also those that made the decision, which was most likely not an easy one; but one that had to be made. I look forward to the day this is all gone, and everyone including the fans are happy. I for one, want to see MMA step out in the SlayerS team colours, with the game score at 4-4 to show us great games once again...

Best discussion of the issue took place on last week's Inside the Game. If you want insight into how Korean pro houses actually operate and punish players, from someone who lived in one (Greg "IdrA" Fields), then watch the VOD.

Why is this thread still open? Every time I look at it each day I think that there's an update on the situation -- but there isn't. Nothing productive is coming out of it -- let the thread either be reopened or a new thread be created if more information comes out

You guys know that Korean progaming teams would resort to even use physical force upon their players if they don't perform optimally right?

Yeah this thread isn't going anywhere. There just isn't any new info. We probably won't get any new info for awhile, and having read most of this thread I feel that we really don't deserve any.

That isn't really a source, that's some guy talking about a source. I've never actually seen a translated interview for this.
