MMA vs Mvp in the GSTL March finals
MMA vs DRG in the GSTL May finals
MMA vs Losira at MLG Columbus finals
MMA vs Mvp in GSL October finals
MMA vs DRG in Blizzard Cup finals

WCS EU championships in 2013 and 2014

IEM Kiev, DH Moscow, Iron Squid 1.

Blizzcon finals 2014. Off the top of my head, these are some of my best memories as a fan of MMA. And of course IdrA gg-ing to MMA had me laughing for a week.

Some more notorious moments would be losing to Goody, to Polt in the Super Tournament, losing to Protoss, the SlayerS drama, the slump.

Farewell MMA, I'll miss you a lot. He's one of the few reasons I got into esport, watching MLG, GSL, Iron Squid, WCS, Blizzcon always was a pleasure to watch when he was playing.

I really hope he's going to do well in military service and during his "normal" life. Take care of yourself.

Gahh. Now he's gotta win HSC in style. Who knows if he's been practicing, though.

Mvp, MMA... now all I've got left is Polt.

I really enjoyed his games a lot, but the guy is 27 already. A lot of pro's dont even get to reach that age pro gaming-wise.

He was my favorite player and I was really when slayers team disbans and what happened to him after that.
He succeeded a beautiful comeback and I am sad for him not to have won the last Blizzcon against a very good Life, it was his last dream and would have liked for him to finish his carrier on that

Why isn't coming war the first thing that comes to mind when you guys see all these koreans "retiring" for military conscription? Is nobody getting that sense from all these "retirements"?

Holy shit

So unfortunate. MMA is one of the Terran legends but he was getting on in age. At least he doesn't have the burden of military service anymore so I hope he finds a good path in the future.

I might be wrong on the military service. Last I recall he was doing it but he suffered a knee injury and had to be discharged, but I wonder if he has to return because his knee is recovered now.
