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.

Normally I'd brush this off but Rek's stories have the uncanny tendancy of being 100% accurate.
