Cool for Ryung.

MMA is dead to me.

You hate everybody that receives an offer from a team, regardless whether they accept it or not? LOL

Think Ryung will go to Axiom seeing as he's really good friends with Crank and the pair did spend a day together at TotalBiscuit's house when MLG flights were cancelled due to weather.

MMA I'm not sure cos I'm not sure what he'd actually offer to EG - His downfall started when he lost his Personal coach to a Kespa team so unless EG are willing to invest in one I cant see any benefits on both sides.

The article states that Ryung WILL go to Axiom. It is only MMA who is considering.

Currently the market value of MMA ought to be fairly low. The market for talented Koreans is currently flooded with ex-Slayers and ex-oGs players (in particular terrans), and the Korean scene is oversaturated with players and teams ever since KeSPA joined SC2 (we have ~15 pro Korean SC2 teams). In addition he has unsuccessfully been looking for a foreign team. He should be fairly cheap to get currently, and he has the potential to become one of the best in the world as he has shown in the past. He is a cheap, risky investment with potential for very high rate of return and there is nothing wrong with that. And yeah he is not getting $4k/month. That was what he wanted, and no one wanted to pay it, and now his situation is even worse, so obviously the price has gone down considerably or Axiom/EG are crazy.

EDIT: Also EGMMARC looks like EGM Marc to me, which is very confusing.

EG It was harsh for me when you signed ThorZaiN one of my few favourite players. I started to like you. If you (EG/Axiom) sign MMA you have here in ME your BIGGEST FAN for SURE!!!!!!!!!!!

I do agree its a little sad that Liquid didn't pick up MMA. It seems like it would've been a good fit though they did just pick up Liquid Sea (which I don't think is quite MMA yet). There are a lot of other good slayers players though.

I don't like either player but Ryung is a nice pickup for Axiom. Paying $4k/month for MMA won't be worth it for either team. MMA without Ryu Won is just another terran. If EG is only looking for a Puma-like aquisition who focuses on the foreign scene that could work out. Even in his diminished state MMA could place top 4 at most foreign events.

I really dont understand you people.

How is it worse if they are searching for new teams and EG or Axiom might be the ones they join?

Second thing I dont understand is the EG hate, fuck me right?


People hate dat dirty moneyz.


Don't understand the hate on "dirty money" like if Alex Garfield was a drug dealer yeah call it dirty money, but he has worked hard to get where he is now to get all those sponsors and etc.

I just want to see Teamliquid and EG join together and win GSTL to be honest, i think the ratings would go thru the roof if that happened


But how can he dare making money off esports .. it's disgusting tbh

GO to EG MMA! I highly doubt that Axiom could afford all three korean terrans at once (even more so with MMA). MMA would benefit greatly by going to EG.

MMA could help shore up Stephano's weakness to Terran, if Stephano is willing to commit to it. Axion would be a cooler choice and possibly the less risky (how is EG going to bankroll MMA AND Stephano AND Thorzain AND Idra AND Puma AND JYP, plus Lz, Machine and Incontrol?)

Bros...or cash?

We will see.


Cash wont make him any more motivated to play the game, playing with a "bro" very well could.

Please go to Axiom MMA.

Wow, never imagined MMA on any team other than Slayers. I really hope Life doesn't win the GSL and then leave for EG.

MMA isn't a risky investment at all and put the damn periods in there lol.

Pronouncing anything like EGMMARC or EGJYPRC is just funny as hell. Shouldn't even say the letters. Try pronouncing it as one word.

Why hasn't there been a mention of Liquid Approaching MMA? MMA and Taeja used to be on the same team, they could be the new Terran tandom on liquid, and they could each mold Sea into a very strong Terran player. I'm hoping Liquid enters their name into the pot.

Because Liquid picks up unknown talent, not two-time GSL champions
