Didn't know you knew the guy personally. Can you get me an autograph?

The match fixing scandal makes savior even more of a hero in my eyes. Progamers have little to no future after their prime, and for that reason I would have made as much skrilla as I could when I could if I were in his situation.

Speaking of betting would you forgive Pete Rose for what he did (bet on his own team to win I think)? I was never quite sure why he deserved a lifetime ban for that.

I hate how everyone says that his career is shit now. He was incredible and won a gazillion games and was tits. Sure he lost a few games on purpose which is unthinkable, but those are the only games that were affected. Just those 3 or 4 games.

To err is human. But I will always remember that at one point, he was more than that. May his penance teach him well the gravity of his sins.

I think everyone makes mistakes but when he was doing it although highly bad of his, he looked and said "fuck it, im not making much money as a progamer, why not just grab a few bucks from these dudes.."

I knew him in person and talked to him quite a lot during the past 2 BlizzCons. Even though he was involved in the scandal he's damn good at the game and he's a cool guy to hang out with.

Young man, dark temptations... I mean, it's not that Savior shouldn't be punished for his actions, but those people running illegal betting sites should be held mainly accountable for this.

he's being a dick because essentially, he's stealing money from others (and allowing the ringleaders of the scandal to steal money as well).
How?
the poor people who bet on savior lose all their money

Stealing money from people who use illegal gambling sites?

How is that any different from what a casino does?

casinos pay taxes unless you live in America and have a very loose blood tie to a native American group, ofc only like 3 native American casinos are super rich in the US.
