This is bullshit

MMA's first GSL win was November 2011

Since that win, he went on to win another GSL (Blizzard Cup), IEM Kiev, 3rd place IEM World Championships, 4th in IPL4, and most recently another first place with Iron Squid this past May.

Starcraft 2 is not a constant and the only thing we have that's close is Mvp and MC and neither of those players win everything.

Yep. MMA got to finals of super tournament then got knocked out of code a next season. Then to later win Blizz and Code S. Not everyone can be MC, MVP...or OP like zerg :p

Looks like Tashi is due for a promotion soon to Gold as he's being paired with Golds, and the game says the match is even.

Has Genius been officially signed by anyone?

If I had a ton of money and wanted two good players, him and MMA would appeal to me..

Man this MMA news is crazy.

The dude has been slacking lately, ever since his strategy coach went to one of the Kespa teams, his results started to go down.

I didn't know it was that serious though.

Admittedly you just destroyed that part of my argument. I'll simply maintain his recent results over the last month or two haven't been stellar

I believe this dismissal is due to practice

It's entirely speculation but I'm going to place his very recent results due to the absence of the former strategy coach who left SlayerS to join a Kespa team (Woongjin I think?)

That coach was with MMA wherever he went, even internationally. I remember seeing him in the booth with MMA at Blizzcon between games and I blamed him for Mvp's loss during those finals :p

This is probably the most reasonable theory.

Terran need to stop crying and start coming up with new ways to play. Or just change up Hellion harass a bit. MVP did a lot of damage against a Zerg's 5-6 Queen defense in OSL yesterday. I've been wondering why Terrans don't just build 6 Hellions and speed into a natural, and finally MVP did it. and killed more than 10 drones.

Terran acts like a unit isn't in the game anymore after it's nerfed, whereas the other races simply work on adapting. Oh, Ghosts nerfed? Never building them again!

And I give up :(

Too tired, lost 4 games in a row. Gonna cut my losses for the future. Damn man. I was 1 game away too. It was a TvT. I did a 3 rax push and he defended it real well with SCV pulls and tanks. Then he countered it a couple minutes later and blew me away. Turned out he was Platinum league. Why it matched me against a platinum before promoting me to gold? I don't know. Bullshit though.

Just did the random drawing and *drum roll* the winner is...
Corran

lol would you look at that! PM me your paypal and I'll get you the 10$ on Friday.

I was one game away man, one fuckin game away lol.
