Bomber beat him last year in the ro16 and is the favorite to beat Jaedong and face the winner of StarDust/MMA in the ro8. He's been a stumbling block for MMA, if not as famously as Polt. I'd really love to see MMA make it all the way this time. | ||

I don't really remember his reputation being hurt because of that like the article suggests, but maybe that was only my fanboy eyes Personally I believe everyone involved was to blame so mainly Jessica, BoxeR and MMA. | ||

An awesome dude, an awesome player and one of the best handful of Terrans in Starcraft 2 (along with fellow gods Mvp, MKP, Maru and Innovation), but his peak was not as bright as MKP's (MKP had one rival for best in the world for several months, that being Parting) and certainly didn't burn for near as long. | ||

MMA might now have been called the very best int he world for a very considerable period but MMA has always been undoubtedly much more solid than MKP ever was. Being a 2 time GSL champion was always bigger claim to being the no. 2 terran after Mvp. The fact that he has beaten Mvp several times and they had an awesome rivalry is like the final nail in the coffin for MKP. | ||

Well, both MMA and MKP made 3 GSL finals / GSL equivalents: However, the difference is that MMA won 2 of 3, while MKP lost all 3. MMA had 5 premier titles in WoL - MKP had only 2 Even during MKP's peak in early 2012 (when he won 2 MLGs) - MMA still placed higher than MKP in two premier tournaments that they both played in (IPL 4 and Iron Squid) | ||

I think it's less of him being an asshole and more him trying to defend his (now) wife, no matter how ridiculous she and her policies are. She really must've distorted his viewpoints. I think if he had a more solid manager and Jessica would've stayed away from it, everything would've been fine. This is mostly coming from the idea that Boxer is a well-respected player and coach and wouldn't deliberately sabotage his own team without the influence of an outside force. | ||

You need to go 2D I'm pretty sure Bomber needs to get interjected there somewhere. | ||
