our unit did a lot of landscaping—waking up and pulling weeds, pulling weeds in the afternoon, pulling weeds in the evening, that’s what we did mostly. *Laughs*

I am so excited for this, especially as someone who is several years removed from the scene. Even if he does not make an amazing comeback I would still love to watch someone as determined as he is.

John Bain and MMA are ballers.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

Hope the best for him. That joke against soO was too much of a low blow though haha.

Oh man that final with DRG still gives me chill just thinking about it.

Good to have MMA back

MMA vs. DRG - one of the most epic finals ever at GSL Blizzcup 2011... MMA can afford another comeback because he is a natural talent and a clever guy with experience. But despite that he is my total favorite player, I doubt he will be able to reach the maximum shape of his best years. BUT! MMA still can make some memorable GSL statistics for 2018, why not reaching two semifinals. Still I doubt he will be able to be on the level of top players like TY, Stats or Dark or Inno. I hope I'll be wrong because that is how MMA became my favorite - he won matches from impossible situations. By the time of his successes nobody could dominate over MVP back in 2011.
In the best case scenario, MMA could really reach very far in the GSL's in 2018 because he needs at least two or three months in order to gain confidence over the most of the players in Code S which I'm sure he can do. Then, if he reaches Blizzcon, it will be the best moment for a big big trophy. His appearance in the eSports is inspiring and very important for 2018. We are waiting also Zest's comeback because this year was empty with protosses if we don't count Stats and herO, but many others were missing for fulfilling the perfect balance between the three races.
