We were originally in talks with MMA, but instead of signing him, we advised him in a better direction. MMA would be a wonderful asset for any team, but a following as large as his, can be quite overwhelming. As our talks went on, I realized that the last thing I wanted was to overshadow our wonderful and talented Terran, Ryung (or any other player for that matter). MMA and our team at Axiom are great friends and we hope to continue that friendship for years to come. Simple as that really. We came to the conclusion that it would make sense for him to take a particular offer that was better than ours and gave him a chance to rock it on another team, so Genna tried to give him a little bit of assistance navigating the offers that were coming in and choosing the one that would be best for him. From my point of view as a sponsor, taking on someone as prominent as MMA who can demand a salary to match his fearsome reputation and legacy seemed a little too much too soon. I'm talking with many sponsors at the moment to supplement our income, help balance our books and expand our current team-house which is now at capacity and not ideal for our purposes yet. When Ryung destroys MKP, I have a feeling a few more sponsors will pay attention  | ||

And grats to Miya and yourselfs. + Axiom has all races now that's a cool thing for a practice house. | ||

Nah ... he is supposed to win some more stuff in the future instead of disappearing into the "EG anonymous but talented non-winners" black hole. | ||

I hope to see promo/hype videos that take advantage of TB's extensive experience and build up the player's personalities too. Kicking MKP's butt is only half the battle, but I'm sure Axiom already knows that :D | ||
