I like the focus on how retarded and evil the new WCS system and picturing Take as a noble guy that fought for the rights of Koreans to enjoy SC2 out of Korea

So glad MMA won a final championship before leaving the SC2 scene. What a way to say farewell! :D

Great gamer and really awesome person. He will be missed.
Definitely one of my favorite players of all time!
There are no boundaries, that's the final conclusion.

I've met MMA a few times when I lived in Korea. I'd always go see his games because I loved how he played in WoL and as he was the first person I tried to emulate as I played Terran. The other really good Terran pros that I've had a chance to meet, Innovation, Maru, Dream, always felt cool to meet, but it was clear that they were the pro, and you were the fan in their greetings. MMA was different. His greetings always felt really warm, he was always polite, after a win or a loss and always had this bright smile on his face; like he was just glad to be there. That's what I'll remember most about MMA. Not his great play, but the passion he brought to the game and to his fans.

gg gl hf MMA!

Saddest part for me was MMA retiring. Hopefully, he can pull one last bag of tricks out for HomeStory Cup and win it all. What a nice way to retire and a great Christmas present to give to all of his fans!


Congratulations MMA! Thank you for the years of fun. It will be weird not seeing your name in tournament lineups anymore or constantly checking to see if you're playing in SPL every week or played in the ace matches the next morning. From your GSL runs, to foreign tournament performances, to WCS, to team leagues, it's been a great 5+ years. Thank you.

MMA leaves the way a player of his gravitas and importance is meant to leave: With a smile on his face and a trophy in his hands. A fitting goodbye to a legend in his own time.




Starcraft: Where challenging the notion of one nationality having absolute superiority over all others and calling for greater diversity in competitive play means you're a racist.



You mean greater diversity in the results of tournaments. It actually will reduce overall diversity.



Putting up hurdles for players in hopes that they will be excluded to participate is discrimination.



Deepity, deepity argument.

Great tournament. What it lacked line-up wise, it more than made up in intangibles--emotions, entertainment and enthusiasm among them.

SC2, its made a sweet place by the people in the scene and man will MC and MMA be missed. Lotv will rise at the break of dawn and the perfect boy is gone <3

The finals, game 7 of MMA vs DRG was the game I stumbled onto on youtube, its what made me fall in love with competitive starcraft 2. I owe everything that Starcraft 2 have given me to that one game, to DRG and MMA. Thank you for everything MMA, Believe me when I say that you will never be forgotten!

Really happy to see MMA leave with a win. MC's singing was quite epic too, hell of a send off.

Really sad to see MMA & Hyun go, those 2 with MC always seemed to me the most fun & easy-going of all the korean pros, the coolest representatives of each race

Also props to TaKe for keeping the HSC spirit alive, despite the hurdles Blizz throws at them.

GL HF MMA & Hyun!!

I love MMA, but I don't think HSC should be considered a premier with the number of invites it had.

and he played zero koreans on his way to the victory. Still MMA owns.

That's actually not important. But the lineup wasn't premierish to be sure. But the same could have been said about 2015 WCS Season 3. I guess objectively HSC3 had stronger lineup for its time than HSC12.

Super for MMA, nice singing by MC

I remember there was a special ring to his name being mentioned somewhere during the WoL-era, "it's MMA", not yet because he was a SC2 player with one of the greatest careers overall but because he was arguably the best Terran, astonishing his opponents and viewers and pretty much owning SC2 swagger.

Really sad to see MMA retire, he always was one of my favourite players. However he couldn't have ended his carrer in a better way. Homestory Cup was great as always and the ending ceremony hit me right in the feels.

GG and goodbye MMA you're a SC2 legend and will never be forgotten!
