MMA demoted to B-Team, wants to join foreign team? - Page 65

Please stop with the jokes/posts that speculate something sexual or scandalous is at play here. They do not contribute to discussion and are generally of very poor taste.

Disappointing how people are still speculating, I want the truth! However its unlikely we will ever get that. Carry on folks.

Wasn't there also an issue that MMA's mentor/coach within the team (can't remember the name), went to a KESPA team. Bear in mind that this was the guy that supposedly planned his builds for all of his big tournament performances except for Iron Squid, so without him there's one less thing tying MMA to Slayers?


Former SlayerS coach Ryu Won was recruited by Woongjin. I had my thoughts like you on this - why break a winning combo, to me having a great coach is worth every dollar. The last time someone was kicked out and demoted in the house was the Coca incident... so I can understand why everyone is speculating... but some posts are just... weird. Anyway, all this drama negatively affects SlayerS team (as a whole) preparation for their important win or lose GSTL game on Sat... Hope everyone gets their stuff together; otherwise it'll be bad games and a TSL easy win we'll be watching.

relations with Jessica is a little bit ridiculous, but something involving Eve is within the realm of possibilities!

I'm pretty sure it's HerO that Eve has a crush on...


No it's the opposite.Watch the outside the GSL Hero episode and then you know.


HerO so adorable there, he was like saying "Hi" to Eve in his interviews all last season of Code S too haha.

Anyway on topic: I doubt it's the IPL 5 thing either. Honestly we're probably making a mountain out of a molehill. MMA's demotion might not be on account of a big incident, it might not even be a proper disciplinary thing.

And it's definitely not results. A lot of players in the team house who aren't even in GSL.

Totally expecting someone will ask MMA tonight and he'll be like "What? Oh, that? No biggie."

I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman.




LOL




If he goes to a foreign team, it could be anyone. If I had to guess though, I'd say Complexity is a good bet, since Nada just retired. SK gaming could take him, but they have MC who is a team on his own. EG has really deep pockets, so they aren't out of the picture either. Could be anyone though, but if I were a betting man, I'd say one of those three.

If MMA wins today, the interviewer will probably ask him about this incident.
So i hope MMA wins.

Will MMA show with his SlayerS jersey today since he is still under contract?
Or will he be a rebellious son?XDDD

One thing is for sure based on the article is MMA is in some sort of pickle situation.
" The internal conflicts " must be very heavy if MMA is demoted to B-team since he has been the star player and the face of SlayerS(other being Boxer) although now he is slumping for a while now.

Play your best

Actually from Ryu Won's interview post-joining Woongjin. He said that he had left SlayerS already, and then he was asked to join Woongjin as a coach through his connection with ZerO.

Well, if MMA does indeed leave SlayerS which I really hope he doesn't... would be cool if SK picked him up. MMA and MC on the same team? <3

Why is MMA so specific about wanting to join a foreigner team? It seems to be a trend with many of the Koreans really.

So far we have:

- Sexual-related jokes that aren't even funny.
- MMA stealing MKP's wallet.
- and a few other jokes that are not funny, so stop trying.

Can we just show some respect for the slayers team....they are going through a difficult moment, there is need to be disrespectful...

Thanks guys.
Regarding the imbalance, hilarious to see Zergs defending themselves....

I agree with you on most levels.

However, Slayers making this move is quite outlandish, perhaps to the extent that it is disrespectful to MMA and SC2 fans that they don't give an explanation.

Certainly they are creating a big juicy story by being so coy.

So on that level, I think the speculation and fun-making is warranted. Obviously, the fish are going to take the bait.

Its a tough call, but its an odd situation that Slayers created by not answering the obvious questions.

MMA stole MKP's wallet... thats the punchline...

no seriously, someone stole mkps wallet, mkp makes vague tweet about it, this somewhat coincides with mma being demoted. PUNCHLINE

Because the money is outside korea.

Look at GSL. There is only half the events this year, than there were last year. Also hardly 50 people come to the GOM studio for free to watch GSL. Thousands of forgeiners pay 20-30$ to watch some 2nd tier players play.

i bet you anything most pros know what happened to MMA but you know why there not revealing it? because the community backlashes any chance they get when they hear stuff like this.

I highly doubt even a dime of the money that is collected as entrance fees to events even comes close to touching a players' pocket so although yes there is more money, I'd be willing to garuntee it doesn't come from that $20-$30. Unless I'm missing some foriegn tournament where the prize money is affected by how many people pay to enter the venue.

The point is there are more tournaments, EASIER tournaments (that is starting to change as tournaments are flooded with code S players looking for the easy win) and more fans/more way to make a name for yourself. Winning GSL is one way to become famous, but many people who make the semi-finals, and often even the finals don't get the recognition they deserve.
