I remember the beginning when MMA was carrying SlayerS in the GSTL and then again at Columbus with that game vs Idra.
I had the chance to see him play against MVP in the GSL October 2011 finals, live at blizzcon.
the ups and downs across the end of WoL and throughout HotS.
It's great to see him go out with a win.


also, it's pretty frickin' amazing that MC hit all the high notes.

Home Story Cup is a cool event apart from one thing. What the fuck is up with hiring strippers to the party that gives lap dances to some players after stream is out?? Tweeting about it like it's a cool thing. It doesn't belong there. E-sport should take a stand against such embarrassing behaviour. It's a right shame. Such a stupid thing to, in all other aspects, an awesome tournament. Grow up and be real men.

I was a bit puzzled by that too, and also with the highlights montage of day 3 that included only shots of female HSC visitors. I doubt any harm is intended though, and apparently the strippers were a gift from Stephano to Demuslim, rather than a HSC-sponsored thing.

Still such things give off a bit of a boy's club vibe which I didn't like very much. It's not the end of the world but it would be nice if they'd be a bit more conscious of it. Luckily it's only a small blemish on an otherwise excellent tournament.

Dennis "Take" Gehlen, a man, who did not sell his soul to the devil. Thank you Dennis very much for what you are doing for the SC2 Community!

Congratulations MMA, the best finish of a Champion.

And MC is a literal god! I had goosebumps listening to it live on Twitch.

this homestory cup is my second favourite tournament ever, after TSL3. everything was so beautiful and MMA ending on top like this was awesome.

gotta say though, get rid of the strippers in the future please. if the players or crew necessarily need paid naked women around, can't they do that some other time when it's not about starcraft?

I'm honestly surprised that people didn't know that MC can sing well. He sings on his stream pretty often and sometimes he raps as well. Let It Go is a song that I have heard him practice many times before, I guess MC wants to give MMA the best farewell gift possible. I also want to add MC's rapping skill is as godly as his singing skills as well.
Also congrats to MMA, his championship was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes even though I didn't follow the scene for long.

I fucking love Take and everyone in the HSC team. Truly heroic, what they've done for the SC2 scene, and what they CONTINUE to do, even when switching games would be more profitable.

MMA, you are a legend, and I will always miss your sick drops. Thank you, Take, for giving him and HyuN one last chance to shine at HSC.

THIS. I actually teared up a little. No more MMA... no more Hyun... no more Rain, no more Flash... SC2 is changing so much.

Homestory Cup has been my favorite tournament since the very first one. Games, friends, food, and prizes, what else can you ask for?

That reminded me day9 analyzing MMA's game and saying he doesn't need to check that on the edge of the map there's MMA's medivac with drop because MMA is good so it has to be there :D

MMA is a legend. I remember seeing him and Innovation at the gom studio when I visited Korea back in 2013. They were playing for Axiom-Acer in the GSTL. Seems an age ago now...

tbh, the finals weren't that exciting as MMA pretty much rofl-stomped the games. Hearing MC sing Let It Go was glorious hahaha.

Story book, something story book---

Seriously though... is it really that "awe inspiring" when you look at the field of players he was up against? Would he have won had some of the other Koreans not dropped out?

Don't get me wrong, I love MMA. But, Im not sure how someone can write this article with a straight face and proclaim this as a Christmas miracle and a story book ending.
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

Well played MMA. Best of luck in the military and thanks for all the memories. Glad he went out on top.
I have a question...

MMA, very gracious way to let go. I'm sure with this big change he'll feel somewhat left out in the cold, good thing that the cold never bothered him anyway.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.
