Just because they're a bunch of nerds doesn't mean they are golden. not to mention they are overworked and under appreciated. That's usually a recipe for sabotage/pursuit of self interest in any job. | ||

Except I don't think anyone is stupid enough to continue match-fixing AFTER public allegations have risen regarding it and you get put under investigation. Seriously people, stop attributing every stupid loss to match-fixing, especially now as I suspect NO ONE is doing it at the present due to the ongoing investigation. | ||

Effort is just failing BECAUSE he's under investigation. That tends to screw up your focus. | ||

They only rig it if the ratio promises at least twice the investment. So games between top players are likely not rigged. (e.g. flash vs jd) It is also worth mentioning the betting ratio of 3.3 revolution (savior vs. bisu) was 17X according to the same poster. I haven't saved the pic so I'm just typing off my memory now. | ||

I'm a huge jaedong fan as well, but in a way that is hard to describe i never felt like i could copy Jaedong's builds - he seemed like he was playing a whole different game with his mechanis, but sAviOr, when he won, always seemed like he had solved Broodwar and was letting me in on the secret. By the way, that was beautifully said, man. | ||
