Does this mean IM still exists?
Former ESL League Operations. I ran IEM/WCS for like 3 years or something. I did map vetos on a tablet. That guy.

LoL where are you guys living? With 350K $ I would live almost 20 years without a job. I live in Germany and spent around 900€ for a month, so in a year almost 10k, which means I will be ok for 30 years. You guys must be living in really EXPENSIVE countries..


France minimum wages are around 1400€, "poverty level" is identified at about 1000€/month. That's considering you provide for a single person. Yes you can live on less than that and survive on a lot less, but that might not be everyone's goal
(900€/month would not pay my rent in Paris)

Go MVP !! Thought we'd see him more as a coach, glad if we see him play.

30 years as single.
I doubt anyone wants to live 30 years alone...

Guys, guys... He didn't say he planned to come back, he just didn't retire. So, what is he then? #schrodingerscat

Even if he does come back, the question will be can he even perform to the level he was as good in? Even on his downfall when he won a WCS EU title against Stephano? I figure he won't. I'm sure the time off is good and isn't straining his condition much if at all. Though he probably won't get too far, but I would like to see some innovation in builds and mind play from him if he does come back when LotV is out.

you can say ' the king of wings ' but to say ' the king ' isn't accurate, there's one true king. and that's marineking.


funny I don't remember MarineFixer winning a GSL...


But I do remember those GSLs he placed second in...right behind the King.

Not even a good nickname. Something like MatchfixKingPrime maybe.
It kinda sounds alike :'(

I also want to know this. Maybe the designator "IM Head Coach" is just there as a descriptor so people know who he is based on previous occupation. BUT THE QUESTION STILL STANDS.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

Mvp is a legend. As much as I would like him to come back for LotV, I doubt his health will allow it, and I'd rather him to never come back if it's to pale in comparison to his former glory.

Already posted this in the IM Fan Club four months ago:

Check the comments. Seems like there is a slight chance IM might return, however it is highly doubtable that MVP will return.

Mvp making a huge comeback in LotV would be the best story line possible, so this is some exciting news
