Will translate important bits in a second. They're postings from sports betting communities. 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. Things in parenthesis are context There still seems to be people who don't believe in match fixing in Starcraft. There is match fixing in Starcraft. The biggest reason why people don't believe in match fixing in Starcraft is because they don't fix matches every day. "Photon"(Name of a user) posted a thread about Starcraft match fixing. He is correct. The players and the brokers do not directly bet on the game, nor do the "playgrounds"(what seems to be betting communities) There are three things that are needed to fix a match in Starcraft 1) A player who will join the scheme 2) The broker that manages that player 3) A huge better that "spins"(not 100% sure what they mean here) at least 10 playgrounds If these three conditions are met, then match fixing becomes possible. The brokers go around playgrounds, and look for a huge betters, and see how many playgrounds they can "spin". These brokers also pay attention to the odds given for Starcraft matches. After this, they approach this "huge better", to see if they're interested in a contract. There are little to no "huge betters" in our cafe that have never been involved in one of these contracts There are now more obstacles that make match fixing a little harder, but a long time ago, it was very easy and the playgrounds were swept by them. 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. | ||

So do the players with crazy-excellent win-to-lose ratios have a less likelihood of being involved with these things? I do wonder. | ||

I was feeling this too for some reason. I feel like this is a good thing. Especially with the timing of SC2 being released in the not-too-far future. P.S. Sorry for posting again, I really felt like bringing this point up. | ||

Plus it's April 10th (not 1st), so it'd be really lame of Rekrul to trick us like this. Also, the removal of pre-scheduled matches is very strange indeed. And why would eSTRO pull UpMagic?? | ||

I always found it strange that savior still kept a 70-80% win rate vs P even though Bisu reinvented PvZ. | ||

I always found it strange that savior still kept a 70-80% win rate vs P even though Bisu reinvented PvZ. Seriously. I always found [match where a good player lost to a worse player] suspicious. This totally explains that loss. Therefore, the original explanation is true. Tough call, on picking just one logical fallacy. I'm going to go with Affirming the Consequent. | ||
