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.

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.

As someone who is fairly new to the scene, this hit me more than the news about flash!
I'm so glad, that i met MMA last year when he has won his WCS-title

Such an amazing player and nice guy! Farewell MMA!

Sad, but I prefer him to leave so I just dont watch him play the shameful game LOTV is.

Like StarCraft II needs more...

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

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!
