no offense, but isn´t axiom being run by totalbiscuit? Does he seriously have the money to compete with EG for MMA? I can see Ryung signing because he´s really tight with Crank but MMA sounds a bit more interested in money at this point.


No. No it's not. Axiom is run by Genna Bain. Just because she happens to be married to TB, does not mean he is running the team. It's her team. Keep up with the current. TB and Husky are sponsors.

Also, I agree. MMA is about the money. He was looking for what, around $4k a month salary?

4k a month? that's a pretty high demand for somebody who didn't impress for months.


Yeah, that's twice what Stephano is paid. Comes to like 180k a year

Lol this made me laugh.
4,000 x 12 = 180,000 :/
That's only 3x higher than the actual number, or 132,000 dollars off.

Hooray for mathematics.

SOOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOOoo Many BANELINGS!!

I still dont think EG signing MMA is a good idea, or should it be rushed without a proper evaluation. Until more information is released, MMA seems quite immature and a big time trouble maker.

45 months in a year? Slayers disbanded, not time itself.


Best response ever hahahaha

On topic: I hope MMA (and Genius and Dark) get picked up by EG ^^

Yeah, that's twice what Stephano is paid. Comes to like 180k a year which is... excessive considering MMA's lack of consistently solid performance.

Though if he gets back into an A team without that mental pressure on him and can just play and practise, as well as being flown around by EG for various events, he'd be back to his best in no time.

I was thinking, watching IPTL the other day, that EG's closest to a real ace player is Stephano, and they used him first. Imagine if MMA was still there to be deployed against DRG...

Man, with MMA on EG that team would be the most stacked foreign team by far.

Are you sure about the bolded part? any source?

That's irrelevant or possibly true. If MMA is good/marketable there is no reason for them not to recruit MMA.

My bad, I read it as 4k a week.

4k a month is actually alright. Stephano is on 2k a week.

First of all we don't really know how MMA acts. Hes not really a publicly spotlighted player. If the rumors from the article are true, then we basically have a player whose revolted against management and accused them of stealing money. Then he calls out Boxer for slave papers and that he doesn't care about being under a contract. This kind of stuff is a headache management to deal with.

MMA also doesn't carry the marketing potential that stephano does.

With the market the way it is, foreign players will always have more marketing power compared to Koreans who don't speak english. This is common sense no? Why do you think violet (who speaks english and can interact with the community) is valued more than taeja (who is a beast among men)?

Where does it say that Violet is more valued than Taeja? This is absolute nonsense.

I forget which show but Razer's sponsor rep discussed why he thought violet was more valuable than taeja when it came to sponsorships. If someone can help me out and remind us which show this was from (it was recent.)

Didn't genna say on the same podcast that MMA actually lowered his demands when nobody offered 4k? I'm pretty sure she did.

Curses does not multiply they add so it becomes worse when you add one curse onto another not better, so MMA would be screwed

Sincerely hope fnatic adds Dark and Brown, the only real valueable players from SlayerS these days.

a in-slump MMA could join EG and let them pay him Craploads, and make him getting cursed, while fnatic could add two really awesome players for not even half of MMAs earnings combined while rocking teamleagues left and right.
