EG just wants to be the best team in the world - good for them.
If IM were EG they would have waited until each of those won a GSL then bought them. MVP, Nestea and Seed were all part of IM long before any of them from the start (maybe Seed later, I don't know, but he hadn't achieved anything outside the IM tag). MC is just on as a partnership.

I just looked at TB and Husky's youtube pages and they aren't promoting Axiom or Crank in any way shape or form. Maybe cast some of his replays, yo?
You can't have looked very closely; Husky started doing exactly that a couple of weeks ago.
You're right. After second glance there are a few casts of AxCrank on Husky's "browse videos" page. One labeled TvZ against ThorZain for example

Guys there is no bidding war for MMA, so it doesn't matter how much money the teams have. He was on top in the end of last year but fallen of the radar since then. He needs to decide between these teams because nobody is paying him the amount he would've liked.

Hummmm I hope than SK gaming will toke some SlayerS on his rooster ! But I have a suggestion :D [M]MA :D why not ? :D sounds good !?!

I hope MMA goes to Axiom.

That proves his point, iron squid was five month ago and since then, we haven't seen anything from him. There are not a lot of people who can be fan favourites without winning tournaments and for the most part MMA is now a random korean. I guess he is more marketable and have potential to be on top again, but that's not what sponsors are willing to pay for.

Would be cool with Liquid / Axiom coop in teamleagues.

Sorry but I have to disagree here. MMA's result were quite related to the tensions in the Slayer's house, that is a sure thing. However, the fact that he is otherwise such an accomplished champion make him still very marketable - his skill level might very well quickly rise again to the top of the top. There is 0 reason why this shouldn't happen.

Sponsors are willing to pay for whichever player can bring money to them. Most players on EG arent GSL Code A contenders but theyre marketable which is all that matters

I think he has friends in EG. There was a connection between EG and Slayers. And if I remember correctly things went well between him an Thorzain.

LiquidMMA would be better, second would be AxMMA

The tension may have been the reason or not. If the conditions where really that bad you can assume he is searching for a foreign team for a long time now and nobody was willing to pay him the amount he wanted. Now he needs a new team, so why would anyone pay him the amount, nobody was willing to pay him earlier?

You are right, but there is a reason why they stopped adding koreans to their roster. Maybe I am wrong but Puma and JYP don't seem to be as marketable as the players from the west, at least I haven't seen a lot of them in the last months.

If IM were EG they wouldn't have any of those players because they'd be based in NA.

yes, and it is even said that he has friends and contacts with EG:
It is said that MMA developed a strong connection to the Evil Geniuses over the course of the partnership, with both management and players, and is his optimal choice for where to go next.
i don't get the "bros or cash" part. Axiom is too new to be able to give MMA a decent salary.

Except like its repeated 100 times every other player pick-up thread Liquid doesn't actually have the pockets like EG to pick up any player they want despite what their fanbois think.

I guess its bros or bros, crank or thorzain, maybe they should play for MMA.

If he still has to decide between EG and this axiom thing, then it's more than likely that EG WON'T pay him the millions of dollahs people seem to think they will.
OR MMA's choice is already made but he's trying to push up the bidding, pretending to hesitate to make EG raise the funds.
To be honest MMA is by far the best player of SC2 when he is in great shape.
From october 2011 to march 2012 I think he went undefeated against zerg (that's just crazy when u think about it).
I think it's a great pick for EG no matter how many dollars then spend on it, recruiting such a player is an opportunity which will not occur again.

It's been picking up speed. Maybe Stephano taught them the 12 minute maxout
