Say EG buys MMA + CranK, SlayerS' is mad, EG breaks off their partnership and teams up with LG-IM.
EG then gets Stephano when his contract ends, TSL is mad that Millenium now sucks, breaks off their partnership. TSL now cannot send players internationally and crumbles, merging with the new LG-IM-EG conglomerate. SK realizes that they have a golden opportunity here, and join with LG-IM as full partners, with sponsorship from those SK energy shot things from the twitch ads. Meanwhile LG becomes the ultra title sponsors and IM is now LG Miracle. LGSK Miracle-EGTSL competes as a single team in the newly formed GomtvProleague, with a roster of players like Symbol, PuMa, JYP, Mvp (who is on his 7th GSL win with new, robotic hands), NesTea, Stephano, ThorZain (who became the second foreigner to win a gsl after Naniwa), MC, MMA.

The IM coach sends out a team of adelscott, dreamertt, machine, yoda, and inori twice in a row.
They are knocked out 0-2

This made me laugh hard. +1

When one of them has become good. Bad foreigners make way too much money compared to the Korean B-Teamers, who are mostly better.

I really hope they can work it out. MMA belongs with SlayerS, would be really weird to see him anywhere else.

But he should stop setting Ryungs bed on fire. :D

That was hilarious haha, one of the funnier posts I've seen this year. Anyways, I don't think MMA is being demoted because his play sucks or something. He is still in code A ro32 so he still has a decent shot of getting into code S next season, or at worse, stays in code A. I think he either started a fight with one of the players or pissed off Jessica.

Eat emmmmmmmmmm

A lot of players who dropped to the B-team went god mode once they exited their slump. Even Fantasy dropped to the B-team once, look at him now.

MMA is just throwing a huge fit, trying to get some media attention. Nothing much, he's just trying to go back into the A team without boxer's punishments or anything. nothing to big, move along kids.

It just seems embarrassing for both the team and MMA for there to be news like this. If you have internal problems, deal with it, reach a conclusion, and release a joint statement. This is just needless drama, which I suspect is what they're going for anyway.

I do wonder what goes in the mind of EG players like Thorzain who's staying there specifically to practice with MMA-caliber players. They still have other good players I suppose, but its a shame.

weird.

(Temporarily) demoting someone to a B-team for disciplinary reasons is quite normal in regular sports.

on a more serious note I hope this problem gets solved without MMA and Crank leaving SlayerS. At the moment MMA behaves like a rebellious child imo. Hope he will snap out of it.

With just this side of the story, it looks really bad imo. If a star player gets benched in any sports league and they demand a trade, it looks bad on the player, not the coach/team. You have to accept the team's decision to do what's best, and even if they are wrong, not act like a baby.

SlayerS has nothing but Boxer's name, and that name isn't so highly regarded anymore. He's been out of the spotlight for almost a year due to his injury and being bad at the game compared to modern players.

Drama causing an implosion is sad but maybe it'll be for the best. There are just way too many teams right now for there to be enough money to support. There are going to be mergers and teams are going to die until we end up with maybe half the teams currently around, but the new bigger teams will be better funded.

As long as there are esports, boxer's name will always be highly regarded.

Seriously, give me a break. Boxer's name isn't tarnished because his skills have waned a bit, and SlayerS has so much more than that. MMA hasn't been relevant this whole season of GSTL, has he even won a match? Coca/Puzzle/Alicia/Crank/Ryung, the team is looking fantastic with MMA or without (don't get me wrong, I am a huge MMA fan and don't want him to leave).

SlayerS has always been one of my favorite teams to watch. I hope the issue is resolved quickly. MMA has always been one of the most consistent Starcraft 2 players.
