Check out MMA's interview after qualifying for Code S. There's no big scandal. I'm sure TL posters are disappointed to hear this after all the crazy speculation they've made in the MMA thread. "sex scandal", "physical assault scandal", "crazy jessica at it again."

MMA was just feeling shitty because he was losing all his games in practice and tournaments. SlayerS sent him home for a week or two like some BW teams have done before. MMA probably didn't accept that initially but it sounds like it's working out for him if you read the interview.

Wait so why did Crank even mention MMA if he was talking about himself?

It appears he wasn't, and that there were some translation issues.

I'm sure you feel cool as hell attributing the fault to reddit so quickly, but when this was posted there it was quickly downvoted and never saw the front page due to not having proof. Only here were the readers so quick to believe the OP despite there being no evidence.

Classic example of the language barrier causing a miscommunication between the Korean and foreigner scenes. This is about the 10th time it has happened. You'd think people would be intelligent enough to learn the lesson but I guess the urge to create a popular thread with your big news is too great.

MMA(Or Crank?) needs to stop whinning and keep on practicing. Seriously, what part of 'pro' in 'progaming' that didn't get into his head. It is a job and even if you hate it, you still suck it up no matter what.

I'm with HIM on this one.

Nice OP change. I could see how it was interpreted wrong though.

Thanks to the mod for clearing this up.

GSL spoiler (with a music video at the end !)

+ Show Spoiler +
It seemed weird to me to read that MMA would have "lost his passion" after I have seen him play in the GSL... Are you kidding me ?! You can't play like that if you lost your passion for the game lol, MMA is still a modele for terrans all around the world !

Don't care about the thing, as long as MMA plays ! <3

edit/
After the games of today, this is immediately what went through my mind if I want to describe MMA's play


Yes. <3

Did you read the OP? It explicitly says that MMA has NOT indicated that he lost his passion for the game.

MVP's issue is mainly with his wrists. I mean if you start to hurt after practicing several games, you probably wouldn't feel like playing much either. I think he is frustrated more than anything.
