Why does the thread about Crank not explaining MMA situation has a quote by Crank saying that he has lost his passion and wanted to lay back a bit and this thread states that he is injured. I'm honestly confused.

The quote is wrong. Or at least misleading. Wich io suspect this statement is as well.

He pretty much said he was tired of playing before, but he wants to play now. Then he said plenty of times "i just want to play game/practice" (or something like that)


He said that in response to the people who kept bothering him about MMA when he didn't want to talk about it. It had nothing to do with his passion

Congrats to Genius and Slayers! It seems like a bizarre pickup to me, because I was under the impression that Genius left MVP because he didn't like the practice environment and wanted to join a foreign team for money/tournaments. Seems like Slayers is the exact opposite of a good fit for him if that's the case. But what do I know. Looking forward to seeing him compete some more!

Amazing pick up by SlayerS, Genius is a top level player and will reach even higher with them. Also, I wish Crank a quick recovery! Those injuries are never fun!

gratz to Genius

and looks like MMA and Crank went out at night and just fought with some people after being drunk or so. That's my speculation :o

Wow, looks like SlayerS are starting to rival StarTale in terms of "scariest Protosses". Alicia's crushing foreign tourneys, Puzzle's crushing in team league, and Genius is...well, he's Genius. Nice to see that they've balanced things out after being so Terran-centric for so long. It's that variety that makes them so dangerous in the GSTL right now.

Good for him sticking with a Korean team.

Seems like joining a foreign team is career suicide, with a few exceptions to that rule. Hey, at least they get a salary!

Its odd but I think this is almost a bad thing for Slayers to pick up Genius at this current time.In my mind that bumps down alicia who i think is playing redic good right now.. Will be heart wrenching to either player when the situation of one or the other is presented~ Too much competition doesn't exist but just hope it doesn't drop Alicia's level cause hes doing really well! GL to Slayers seems like a lot of drama is going on but they evidently have a good foundation, nothing is cracking even with all the distractions!

Slayers is going to be way to strong now jeez. Great pickup even though it feels weird that he ended up there.

Maybe he realized that he has to put in the hours and step up his game if he still wants to play games for a living. No foreign team wanting him probably changed his view on things.
