Let's just hope the list "under investigation" is just a check on everyone, since according to Korean sites the list is only a small part of the whole, so I'm assuming they are checking on most matches to make sure. | ||

Maybe he's disgusted at what he's done? I doubt they felt good about throwing matches. I'd look worse if i threw a match than if i lost legitimately. | ||

What are they going to study? Most of them barely have a chance to go to high school since they are practicing 8-12 hours a day even as a teenager. Judging from those under suspicion, one has to think Flash was approached, and he outright refused. Good for him. | ||

Even though im really sad about the news the replies keeps making me laugh. I really hope Starcraft won't end up like Warcraft 3 after that map rigging incident  | ||

I was always amazed on the conditions the progamers put up with day in day out, makes me feel a bit stupid for not seeing this coming. | ||

And now we see how Hyuk and Fantasy owned Jaedong in the Proleague Grandfinals. If it were Bisu and Jaedong it'd be a hilarious game of who is better at throwing games. (Come to think of it, why is it whenever we see Bisu vs. Jaedong one player makes a dumb mistake like forgets tech or hold position?) + Show Spoiler + Of course I'm semi-joking. Hopefully this isn't true, but damn the chances of that are looking slimmer and slimmer. | ||

If these people had that kind of foresight (or even those goals), they would not have chosen to become progamers in the first place. | ||

Yeah because we know that every progamer makes millions playing Starcraft. Why oh why won't you practice 10 hours a day for 3 years and most likely don't make any real bank. lol what a retarded post no offence | ||
