My reaction: This is sad and I hope it's not too spread, and I hope covering it up will be harder than they think and that we finally will get some names. Until then, I won't judge people and I'll still watch their games. I'm glad Flash doesn't seem to be involved in this. For those who said this wasted alot of their time; how can that be true. How did you waste time? If you found it real enough to get emotional and exited about the matches at the time then you've had that experience and they can't take it back. It can only ruin then remaining exitement for you for new matches imo. If we finally get the list and too many stars are involved and kicked from team, then I might stop watching proffessional starcraft but not before. And I certainly won't change it for SC2. From now on I think it will be less likely that alot of people do this again atleast:/ | ||

That behavior only makes hiding and coverup reasonable. People should stop watching if they DON'T investigate and DON'T fire their stars if they lost intentionally. If players with big names get fired that shoudl eb an extra reason to view SC and buy it if you can. | ||

I'm not sure though that it really matters if I stop or not since I'm not even paying to watch, or even that it registrers their view ratings... koreans should boycott though until it's investigated. It's a hard call, I want the guilty to be punnished but I don't want the scene to go down because of this. And all those who played honestly shouldn't be punnished... | ||

I'm glad Flash doesn't seem to be involved in this. How could he participate in this if he doesn't drop any matches?  | ||

Whether BW progaming survives is largely dependent on how the organizers choose to deal with the problem, but it's ALSO dependent on the viewers' (read: us) trust and faith in esports. Until proven otherwise, I'm not going to assume that every single notable progamer worth their salt is suddenly these greedy, game-throwing sons of bitches that people seem to be making them out to be. I'm ALSO not going to retroactively assume that every "suspicious" match that has been played thus far was influenced by shady under-dealings. I mean geez, sometimes a banana is just a banana. | ||

all pro sports are sometimes fixed because all players, coaches and managers are human. | ||

I'm still not going to assume everyone involved in BW progaming is "corrupted" and "in on it" though. Wouldn't be fair to the honest folk, whether they're the minority or not. | ||

This is the kind of thing Sea was talking about; there ARE progamers who poured their heart and soul into the game and continue to do so on a daily basis. Yet these hardworking individuals are being hurt just as much as anyone else, simply because people lack the capacity to not lump everyone into the whole "ZOMG GREEDY GAME THROWERS" group... which, I might add, is completely unsubstantiated at this point and based purely on speculation.

I mean, you just want fake drama, right? | ||

There's cheating to win. And then there's cheating to lose because organized crime is paying you off. Thats far worse | ||
