Some new information came up regarding the personal sponsorship situation for MMA while he was on SlayerS, as it relates to the recent drama between MMA and SlayerS owner Jessica. Jessica replied via twitter, as did a representative from Razer Korea (only to delete the post soon after, leaving just a generic tweet about how slayers and razer korea had a good relationship)

New: Jessica's reply via twitter & Razer Korea rep reply.

@Razer_MidNight DELETED TWEET

"This is Kim, Joon Hee from Razer Korea. Razer headquarters have confirmed that this occurred between Chris Mitchell and Manager J but Manager J, out of ill intent, deliberately kept out offer hidden from owner of Slayers, Kim, Ja Yeon (Jessica)"

@SlayerS_Jessica

I think Chris is leaving out some context. I will write something after I remember and check memory and emails. Chris, you don't have a right to say that... It's all connected.. You don't understand that I'm hiding something for [someone/ambiguous]. I'm off to check.

Chris... we didn't talk about a new sponrsorship, you talked to manager J.

Clarify whether this is this Razer's stance... or the stance of Chris who talked to manager J. Then I'll prepare.


Chris Mitchell of Razer.

New: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/11zew4/mma_had_personal_sponsorship_offers_oh_jessica/c6qx5wj
"I should probably add that the individual sponsorship offer for Boxer was also rejected at the same time. So they might have just put the entire team above individual players. Regards Chris Mitchell"

@MitchellChris : Can we stop the drama now. Ultimately we'll never know what has been translated properly. End this chapter (Slayers) here and now.

Original tweet chain
@SC2_MMA Corporation R did have an interest in a personal sponsorship with you. Just to reassure you. Source

Later Correction tweet: To clarify: The proposal was rejected by Jessica, but i dont know how it's been translated by "Manager J". Both were copied.

Goro Shigeno ‏@Goro87:
@MitchellChris But the million dollar question is what happened to mma's personal sponsorship?Did it go to boxer like MMA thought?Withdrawn?

Chris Mitchell ‏@MitchellChris:
@Goro87 It was rejected.

Goro Shigeno ‏@Goro87:
@MitchellChris Oh boy now there's opening a can of worms. Rejected by who, manager J or Jessica? That ? is a key part of drama.

Chris Mitchell ‏@MitchellChris:
@Goro87 Jessica.
Source




The above is in reference to earlier statements and claims:

Jessica's original statement on Inven

In particular, I was disappointed in MMA for being swayed by "J"s claim that I had 'cut' a personal sponsorship that had been offered. I was crushed and disappointed that a player I had taken care of would believe a manager who had only been on for two months, and I don't even know how much I cried. "J" tried to take MMA and some other players to make a new team, and that he would find a sponsor. The important thing is that MMA was willing to along solely on "J"s word, and he only came clean to me once I found out what was going on.

(http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=376041)



MMA's interview with ThisIsGame

It was right before my code s match versus alive (feb, 15th, 2012). I heard something shocking from manager J that Jessica was forwarding my potential personal sponsor to boxer. I couldn’t believe it. I got confused but I had no one talk to. My mind was heavily burdened for the weeks afterwards

After much turmoil, I confessed to crank about my feelings. We talked a lot. Crank was also sad because he couldn’t do anything for me, so it was hard on him as well. As this went on, I got more stressed and even thought of quitting the game. If I said this to Jessica, I thought manager J would get the blame too so I did not talk.

After, my performance fell and I just focused on the game more since there was nothing I could do about it. Crank suggested that I go talk to boxer as he would know more from a player’s viewpoint. So I talked to boxer. Boxer knew this was dangerous waters so he checked around for a few days and told me that there was nothing of that nature (potential personal sponsor) going on.

Jessica did not release any details about our sponsors so I had no choice but to trust manager J regarding this matter because he was a former employee of corporation R. at the same time, I lost faith in Jessica because of how she treated the players and the arguments she picked with other players (on other teams).

Jessica's reply to MMA's interview via Inven and TIG.

TIG: What do you think of the part where he claims you tried to transfer a personal offer to Boxer? 
I definitely said it wasn't so. MMA did ask Boxer about it, and Boxer asked me. Honestly, I was disappointed at Boxer then. I told him 'I know so you well, why wouldn't I have told you in that situation.'
 
Later when I learned the claim was 'personal sponsorship offers for MMA came from companies 'N' and 'S,' but it was attempted to transfer them to Boxer.' Because manager J took care of sponsorship related activities, I contacted those companies to confirm. However, they didn't even know who manager J was.

http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=1319774&board=&category=13439&subcategory=1&page=1&best=&searchmode=&search=&orderby=&token=


The personal sponsorship for MMA was switched to a sponsor for Boxer from the sponsor side. You can confirm with the relevant company.

There was another one from manager J, at first he said it was possible for boxer to get a personal sponsorship, but later he said it wasn't possible to sponsor MMA while sponsoring players for other teams.

When I went to confirm, he hadn't even contacted them in the first place. It was all stuff J made up to try and play the team and players against each other.

It's a pretty big development. Pretty much catches Jessica in a gigantic lie.

This sucks for MMA. A personal sponsorship would have been massive for a player who didn't have a salary.

I still think that it should go in the same thread, however important it is.
And yes, it does seem to break down another piece of Jessica's faltering credibility.
