WHY?

You seriously question why?

Guess what? MMA was one of two players who would have made GSL this year if not for the influx of 'extra' foreigners. I noted this fact at the time. People outside of Korea playing in GSL would be alright, except that these same foreigners were also enrolled in Circuit. At the same time, Koreans were not allowed to play in both.

People have to live. Life costs money. Money costs time. When time is blocked out for 1/3 of a year, you need to find a new job.

Hope he'll come back everyone once and again around SC2 by steaming or couch surfing the HSC ;D

Wasn't MMA in GSL Season 3 ro32?

Anyway, I do agree with you, he sure needs to make a living.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

It's pretty common for coaches to move from game to game right now. Remember, a lot of 'pros' are just kids who don't have much experience being professional competitors or even responsible adults in general. The idea is that experienced pros can help them in areas outside of tactics/strategy (although there ARE coaches who help the players in this area) so they can maximize their talent.

After two years in the Korean military, this may not be a bad move. Not only is he good at positioning through Starcraft, he's probably really good at shooting guns now, too. He should make a natural Overwatch coach!

Good luck MMA! Hope we can bring you back to Starcraft some day!

Not exactly. He had an opportunity to continue his eSports career in a sustainable way, and he wisely took it.

I'd much rather see the strategic minds crafted by Starcraft live on within eSports than fall into obscurity. While it doesn't directly benefit Starcraft (sadface), it will be great for eSports in general.

Secondly, being an eSports player isn't exactly a cakewalk. It's grueling, as is two years of S Korean military training (look it up, it's pretty crazy and something that usually isn't talked about). Sometimes a change of pace is good.

Best of luck, MMA!
