I imagine the Korean Embassy didnt have 'answering questions about Starcraft' in their job description.

Showing a picture of SC2 together with this article is kinda bad - people might connect this incident to SC2 when it had nothing to do with it at all.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I was surprised to find this one one of the biggest news websites in the Netherlands a few days ago. They even mentioned Ma Jae-Yoon. I felt so weird for actually knowing who they were mentioning.

Article in dutch: http://www.nu.nl/tech/2225834/ophef-in-korea-gokschandaal-in-e-sports.html

it's a common problem. When spiegelonline (biggest german news page) reported about this they had a picture of sc2, too.

their source was a website which refered to teamliquid :D

That's pretty crazy.

They should have cited Rekrul's blog as their source.

I don't know why BBC would report on this with such weak sources. Does "any news first" mean more than accurate news? Based on our information, from the likes of Rekrul + korean websites, it's very probable, but that's still not international news worthy.
