Meh, Upmagic just seems to go idiot mode after his crazy strategy works by going all in and not looking after his econ when he doesn't need too often like vs Lux on Outsider. Its like he doesn't have the lategame decision making to actually finish the game... I dunno, he's just disappointing and should win a lot of games he loses which seems to be the reason why that person accuses him.

No, he's being accused because he is obviously one of the top players IN eSTRO, and he was randomly kicked from the A team.

Will translate important bits in a second. They're nowhere near official, other than the first one, since they're all seem to be a cafe blog post from a betting community.

First Image:

Sounds like an official that is posting about the Bogus - Savior match, which they seem to be very very certain that it was rigged.

The last underlined bit talks about Bisu in that they think Bisu's matches that day also seemed a bit more rigged, but The Bogus - Savior game was something they actually got a report on.

Second Image:

Someone just talking about the logistics of it.

Third Image:

Someone posting that "Police are finally taking action" against Starcraft Betting

Fourth Image:

The Cafe Staff warning about Betting in games by UpMaGic, YellOw[ArnC], Luxury, because "everyone knows" there are forces behind planning their games.


haha there are no vods from that Bogus / Savior game, but the live report is pretty interesting in retrospect. I guess he might have thrown it by "forgetting" to research consume. Here are some choice quotes:

He's acting. He will crush Bisu and then move on to crush the loser of the Winner's Match.

Basically Stork's group games in WCG 2007 (I think it was 2007..., maybe 2008).

Are you talking about Stork vs. ForGG where Stork wins by proxying carriers two feet from ForGG's main?

watch from about 4:05 on until lux engages the marines with his drones. they just stand there and do not attack for most of the time. he gets his drones up by the marines. but they don't do anything.

No. They killed 2 or 3 rines, but Hwasin had a nice spread of remaining rines and thus repelled the remaining drones. Granted, it wasn't wonderful control, but he was fucked at that point regardless.


He pulled all of his drones out of his main wayyyy too early, and he could have also been mining at the natural when it finished and pulled drones off when needed, especially since lings were on the way. It looks like pretty awful decision making.

edit: Sorry didn't mean to doublepost, thought i was in a different thread! T_T

Stork vs. Lx, WCG 2008
http://video.pomoho.com/ent/2165099

Theres a battle where Storks puts 9 zealots on hold so that Lx's 5 dragoons can kill his 4 dragoons.

Lol that game was rather funny.

1) My dragoon micro is too good, I need to "accidentally" shoot my nexus and mismicro a bit.

2) Hmmm, my zealots have almost killed his dragoons... I can't do that, I'll just move my zealots up to make it look like they're trying to kill probes...

3) Hmm... there's a pylon here, that probably means that there's no expansion further down... I'll just kill the pylon.

4) That pylon going down would devestate my opponent!, he wouldn't be able to build anything and my reinforcements would kill him. I'll just leave it with 50 life...

5) He's attacking my expansion.... should I try to sneak drones out or try to save it? Maybe neither?

I could throw a game better than that!

Look at the bright side: during this investigation, you are almost guaranteed that no player is throwing matches.
Do you really want chat rooms?

No, it was Stork vs some foreigner. Stork had to lose in order to not face a Korean in the next round.

Ok, that game was thrown not because of betting, but it was because the winner had to go face a top korean next round in elimenation.
