Thanks for all the memories MMA! I'll always remember MLG Columbus 2011 as his break out tournament and one of the points at which the sc2 scene exploded. I remember when he went back home and played in that super tournament final against Polt as the heavy favorite. When he lost my heart was crushed and I thought he might just fade into mediocrity after that. However, like the rest of his career would show, MMA was resilent and bounced back.

Goodbye, MMA! Thank you for all the entertaining matches.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Farewell MMA, there goes yet another one of my favorite Terrans

But it had to happen eventually. Thought he was gonna retire earlier this year after losing to Life in Blizzcon last year.

Like StarCraft II needs more...

Was the transition from WoL to HotS like this? Mass retirements and dark future about WCS?


I don't think people are retiring because of lotv. I think it's mostly because of the way scene is developing

I thought it was known already that MMA was retiring at the end of this year for a while. Am I thinking of someone else?


No actually. Also Polt, TaeJa and Bomber are kind of in the similar position

Bomber might have already retired idk


TaeJa is listed in the SSL Qualifier for today/tomorrow, maybe he reconsidered


Yep Taeja will be there, not GSL though.
Don't complain about things you're not willing to change.

Just title these threads "Another Terran player says Fuck it" There wont be any left by the time blizzard even thinks to look at balance.


Dude what has his retirement to do with the balace? Almost everyone knew he will retire this year. Even Olimoley said it on the stream 3 weeks ago. Dont know why almost everyone here is saying, his retirement has to do with the transition from Hots to Lotv.
Well because of his win vs Mvp in GSL final in Blizzcon 2011, I started to watch e-sports. Since then he was my favourite player. Well sad that he wont play for another year. But at least we can watch him in HSC.




If Starcraft was my job I really dont think I could put up with what blizzard has done.


amen

Yes. It's a natural time for transition, and I think people who were thinking of retiring tend to feel like between expacs is the best time.

As far as WCS goes...the community tends to see any unknown major changes as negatively as possible.

MMA has been one of my favorite players since the SlayerS days...we love you MMA, and you will be missed!
