Not so sure about that. Everyone expects it to revitalise SC2, but from what I've seen so far, I'm not convinced. After all, it's the same guys who made WoL.

Hmm..... Correlation isn't causation they say... Hmm...

MVP losing his passion comes from where? And MKP speaking in a joking manner, must be a race issue.

Seriously man, are you that shallow? Terran have dominated for quite a while, and these are just a few of those players. Is anyone going to give a shit if Alicia or someone says that they don't care so much for SC2? No, because you look at nothing but race, draw your conclusions, and move on.

Think.

Just Think.

Haha, call me crazy, but the couple first time I saw MMA representing SlayerS and won his first championship, he seemed to give out the vibe of FruitDealer. I guess my instinct was right at that time then.

Incoming MMA switching LoL.

You really think that a guy who was noted as the SlayerS golden boy, who was noted for his discipline and focus had the same vibes as a guy who was noted because of his love for parties, drinking and his preference for an easy practice schedule?

Yeah... anyway, it's pretty clear from the Twitch VODs transcription that Crank might not have been referring to MMA at all when he said what he said.

Take a break and rest.

Anyway, I think the point is that SlayerS went well MMA if you're not going to practice the correct amount we have no choice to demote you because what kind of example does that set to others in the team?
So this way, SlayerS can continue to be as they are, and MMA can slack off and take somewhat of a break from the game.

It'll revive Starcraft 2 pretty sure, people are bored because they dont want to improve and are not creative enough to put in variety in their gameplay. With hots they get fancy new units which will be more fun I guess. I think the bronze, silver and gold player will come back with the addon. Even for the sake of not missing something in blizzard world.

Maybe I might start a shit storm, but with regards to BW, the players would normally lose their passion after playing for 5+ years (been following BW for sometime now) mainly due to not being able to perform well. The top players would play for years and years. It seems quite the opposite in SC2 where the top players are losing interest..


Well, MVP lost his passion due to wrist pain.

It is believable that MMA is losing his passion. Lately, at the events, he always had a darker expression on his face. It would make sense that he wants to join a foreign team with less practice hours and crazy foreigner fans to revive his passion again. Sad to hear if he quits.. favorite player Hope he does really well tonight and in the GSTL.

And what's this about Mvp losing his passion too? I thought in the recent OSL interview he said that he's more excited and nervous because of his dream of finally getting to play in the OSL. ;o
Mmm, what to watch.

Exact quotes:

"I don't play SC2 for 10 days"

"I don't want to play SC2"

"now I want to play SC2 "

"but now low level "

*someone asks "why Crank, do you not enjoy it?"

"now like it "

"MMA too"

"hey guys"

"today MMA vs violet"

"cheer for MMA plz"

"ok fine MMA and me fine"


and thats all for that portion. I don't know if he talks about him again.


O_O OP seems quite misleading, and it is difficult to gauge what crank meant by "MMA too" since his english isn't too good.

Im not really worried that the guys who made what is probably the best RTS ever (though they did have a good template to work off of) can deliver an expansion pack thatll be good.

I think these kinda threads need to be closed. The starcraft 2 community is honestly becoming a joke, everytime one of these tmz things come up, you see so many posters saying "sex scandal!" "its probably violence, he beat up XXX" "he did it with jessica and boxer got mad and that's why he got demoted".making stupid jokes about peoples lives, starcraft 2 is suppose to be for entertainment and if you get pleasure from reading this kind of crap, go to perezhilton.com or something we dont need that stuff here. So much immaturity in this community i swear, sometimes i cant even come on teamliquid.net because of this drama that comes up and blows out of proportion and only thing that people want to talk about is about SC2's personal life.

Starcraft 2's community might be the worst community i ever seen, so childish and annoying. Leave MMA's and SlayerS problem to them, no one here knows what is going on with them so dont make assumptions about whats happening. I dont play SC2 but i still want it to grow by watching it and still supporting my favorite teams and players. SC2 isnt gonna grow unless people grow up.

Maybe MMA just needs a nice long vacation after hard climb to Code S and after GSTL finals. I think SKT1 coach gave Bisu some time for vacation when he was in that 2009-2010 slump

seems like crank and mma both got bored and didnt want to practice, wanted break. slayers said no, if you want break, take break away from house. now time has passed crank and mma both are "fine".

they have to play for hours and hours, imagine the grueling grinds.

it actually sounds much more plausible than some bullshitters would rather believe

I don't know how many gaming communities you've seen but....they're almost all terrible. Truly terrible in every way imaginable.

It's too bad a post like this will go completely unnoticed, even when so many other people have said the same sort of things. The starcraft community can be amazingly positive on it's good days, it's not all bad. We just have our off days (and to be fair, we've had a few more recently than I'd like), but as a whole I feel like the community is one of the better ones out there. Lots of communities collectively lash out at new players, but the starcraft community embraces every new member it gets, and collectively tries to help people.

I feel like the mods should edit the original post on threads like this to explain what is known, and make it clear anything else is speculation.
