Blizzard set up illegal gambling web sites in Korea. Blizzard bribed players to throw games. Blizzard leaked the information to the cops. Why? To deal terrible, terrible damage to the Korean SC1 scene. With it in tatters, they will have nothing to turn to except SC2. Pure genious. + Show Spoiler + Seriously, I wish people would stop speculating about who fixed what match - let the authorities do their job and tell us. | ||

I might be alone in this, but sAviOr being cited as one of the people didn't surprise me much. It feels like he gave up on the game a long time ago. | ||

I am sure that there has been cheating going on and that also Savior is guilty. Usually when things get public and this big there is something behind it. I only hope that not all of the players on the list are involved. Stork? Please not Stork. I love Stork. Everyone loves Stork. | ||

And you should take to heart the part about spreading rumors. Rumors don't help anyone. Oh, so its just a happy coincidence that Savior, one of their most famous and well-liked players, was demoted from the CAPTAIN of the team to B-TEAM last March, right when they would be investigating such things, to have "knee surgery". You have multiple credible sites reporting this, you have Rekrul who was dead-on about this, you have other progamers like Sea basically admitting there is an investigation and saying "please look past the cheaters, look to the honorable players". I know you don't want to believe this is true, but the fact is, these gambling sites exist, and there is a huge incentive for them to bribe and for players to take those bribes. Along with savior, look at the mysterious demotions of Upmagic, Sangho, and Luxury; all solid A teamers at the same time. If you want to be naive enough to believe nothing happened, go ahead. I think its very clear at this point something incredibly fishy has happened, and Kespa and the proleague teams will try to sweep it under the rug. Hopefully this doesn't happen. | ||

Have you seen some of the tournament games? Like White-Ra? Or any of TheLittleOne's games from Zotac? Watch those games and tell me there isn't great spectator potential there. | ||

Does anyone know the punishment the players could receive if they are found guilty? | ||

Savior, anytime, luxury, and many other progamers have been caught 100% proven cheating. Being arrested and taken to court no joke. Oh god ;_; | ||

Some rumors over the past year and a half but Boxer never acknowledged openly. Then 2-3 days ago Kim Ga Yeon went to her friend's wedding and she caught the bridal bouquet. From then on the whole thing spun out of control, with fans congratulating Boxer on his cyworld etc. so yesterday Boxer finally admitted he's dating her but they deny that they're getting married. I heard about the rumors some time ago but wow, never thought it was serious between those two. I never knew Boxer liked the nuna (older sister) type. But when I watched Hyungjun's show 2mths ago, I noticed Boxer had a couple ring on his left finger so I guess it was pretty serious for some time. It's not surprising he's getting married to a gamer too  | ||
