![[image loading]](http://image.fighterforum.com/showImage.asp?realFile=FFNEWS20061202003601001.JPG) Although many here on TL have erased your name from their memories, I will not. That moment, when you held that Starleague trophy up high after bringing the Zerg race out of darkness forever, will always stay with you. ![[image loading]](http://www.mymym.com/gfx/savior-osl-win.jpg) Good bye, Savior. You will be remembered forever.    | ||

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. | ||

For every night a TL member that watched his games and cheered him on, for every "I will destroy everyone in 2009!" post, for every time he would shock us with a fantastic win or even a horrible loss, for all those times when people fiercely defended him as Bonjwa, for all the blood sweat and tears of the people to develop e-sports. Savior has betrayed his fan's trust on such a degree. For all those times Savior and Firebathero fans got into it i thought it was an epic rivalry but now when I watch the video of FBH dancing around Savior I don't see a champion falling from grace, but a game that could have been thrown, and that thought just ruins those memories of watching those truly epic games. | ||

This should be a final edit Sir, thank you. I mentioned this vaguely http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=5331509 and haven't been able to commit the time to expand on it. It bothers me to see such prevailing opinions where any support is held in the highest level of contempt. I don't comment on his morals because I don't know him. Frankly, I believe he arranged matches and did it out of spite rather than money, but even that's conjecture. What I do know is he experienced more mental hardships from Starcraft than any one I'd ever seen and it was that, not his skill that was the real reason I liked him so much, that someone climbed so high yet still seemed to be the perpetual whipping boy. Savior's probably going to prison, but I wish this could be voiced. Because I feel no one notices it when after 8 years this is the moment the support of the fans truly matter. I want to show why I support Savior because I believe my beliefs are less common and hopefully insightful. I have trouble right now to commit time to fully show it, but it is something I truly want to commit the effort to attempt. Thank you for responding. | ||

Were you there when GO team was still an un-sponsored team? When Xellos and Coach Cho were literally paying for the team's food and apartment out of their own pockets? Savior was certainly there. He didn't make it big till 2005--he definitely knew what Xellos and Coach Cho were giving in order to give their team the chance to grow. Savior at least was a progamer during a time where he could at least guarantee that he'd have some stability--its not like he was going from tournament to tournament worrying whether his winnings would be enough to support the team till the next event. This match-fixing scandal put the entire South Korean esports industry at risk--someone as big as Savior has a defining impact on peoples' image of esports. If sponsors decided that they didn't want to be associated with that kind of negative image, Korean pro teams could collapse overnight. Savior's predecessors on CJ Entus went through a hell of a lot more to even get the team going. What right does Savior have to jeopardize the fruits of their labor just because he feels like he deserves more? | ||

It is a sad truth that progamers live in pretty bad conditions, this is true Misrah. However it's not like the industry can sustain the demand of people trying to get into it either. I'll admit that a bit needs to be done to benefit their conditions, however I also think that people should be discouraged from going too far into a progaming career. Imagine there were a starcraft entrance exam. Every 13 year old has a chance to qualify to be a progamer once. If they don't show potential, they are cut, and know that they have no chance to become a progamer so they focus on careers that have a better chance of working out. I think this is more important right now to minimize the pool of potential players. If a player has not started starcraft by 13, he has no chance of becoming a progamer in this day and age. | ||

Even when he was in bonjwa mode he was very hated. | ||
