To me this whole thing is like baseball.

Sometimes you have to move some players to minor league before to light a fire under their ass to perform better.
A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

MMA:
While I was staying at home my parents were really worried me, and Korean and foreigns fans alike are all also worried about me. I want to thank my fans once again and want them to know that I am thinking positively now because I learned how precious my fans truly are. From here on out, I will show you guys an MMA who is living better and working harder.

I will ignore your bad grammar.
But if you look at recent tournaments zergs aren't doing as good as they should if they are so OP.
Terrans have been able to adjust already.
In fact MMA did beat Violet 2-0!
And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?

maybe after playing it all this time he feels it's not right for them? duh


Then retire. Don't whine. Lol rather quit with dignity than act like a pussy.


because everyone is supposed to act like this. get a grip come on


because everyone want to be lazy ass bastard and still expect respect. come on man, grow some.


You mean "grow some" as in "become an unconditionally submissive spineless tool without a will of his own"?

If you're not trolling, you have serious authority issues.

If you're going to correct someone at least check your facts. It was 2-1 not 2-0.

Why don't you go refuse to demands by your boss and write a report about what happened.

You shouldn't log onto one of the premier SC2 professional gaming websites and not expect results to be shown. ESPECIALLY in a thread pertaining to someone involved in matches you are trying to avoid having spoiled. It's common sense that people would bring his results in here..

My hunch is that MMA was trying to join a foreign team but was doing it behind the backs of Boxer and Jessica.

I hope MMA won't quit.

Who said anything about quitting?And why make such a big deal out of this?He's human after all.It's hard to stay focused at the same thing month after month,year after year.Specialy at the highest level.I think all he need's is a couple of week's to cool off,then he can come back with full energy and start asskicking again.


This is why I don't think it should be a big deal that he was moved to the B Team. It will give him time to think about his play and his future, and hopefully let him rest up a bit and find his passion again. I guess some people associate being moved to the B Team as a humiliation (it shouldn't be if there is a proper reason, but this is understandable) and that's why MMA was against this.

Also, it's really annoying how some people can turn any thread into balance whine. "omg MMA must be giving up bec of the queen patch buff terran plx". Seriously.


He's human, I am human. I quit because of the balance indecency after 14 years of starcraft. It's plausible that he did too?


You don't play SC2 for a living though.


Not quite a living, I do make a decent amount coaching players, did.
