Well if MMA was losing his desire to practice 10+ hours a day, maybe a foreign team WOULD be a good next step in his progaming career, assuming a clean break from SlayerS.

Would be a shame to lose such a talented player. 23 isn't that old.


He is the second oldest champion (after NesTea ofcourse)

All the more reason to keep that passion alive until he wins the Nestea award!!!

Probably demoted him to motivate him to come back stronger than ever, show him that he can't just float his way into being a SlayerS ace.

I hope with MMA's qualification for Code S and his starter role for SlayerS in GSTL, that it was a conflict between him SlayerS that was discussed and settled in private between both parties and that everything returns back to normal.

I am surprised this thread is open. OP, find where he specifically says that MMA doesn't want to play because so far, there have only been screenshots of Crank saying that he himself does not want to play so far. There has been no evidence posted so far supporting what you said. Maybe you are right and he did say that, but posts like these are pointless without proof and are essentially just speculation.

The whole interview : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=355346

else :


How is your condition and your cervical discs in particular?

I need to get treatment for the cervical discs but I postponed it because of Code A. Also, it's been a while since I lost interest in the game. The illness seems to have made it hard for me to enjoy the game and as a result, I've gotten worse.

Well JYP mentioned it in his Code A interview, and that's as confirmed as it can get at this point as I don't believe starters are officially confirmed this early.

not easy to be a progamer. a lot of effort and endless hours of practise. korean progamers that is, if you join a foreign team you can slack off more and get paid more

makes me sad progaming is not more mainstream. pretty sure progamers might even put in as much time/dedication as, say, top tennis players or something. and tennis players win millions with each tournament haha.
maybe in time =]

yeah, why does teamliquid warn people for such post ?

Sorry, but it's not even offense... :/


Anyway, I think people should stop caring so much - I guess he(MMA) has his reasons.
pls dont judge before research, pls dont research before thinking

Because if TL didn't do that, each and every thread would become a balance whine.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Can't blame him for not wanting to play a game for over 8 hours a day nearly everyday. It's very unhealthy for the mind and body, best of wishes to MMA.

It could be more 8 hours per day but they're professional level so i think that's not a problem for them.
