The progaming gambling scandal has drawn national media attention. KBS, MBC, YTN, and SBS (Four of the top broadcasting companies in Korea) have all had segments on news broadcasts over the weekend covering the hot topic of the progaming scandal. See what they have to say about the topic.

Credits to l10f for subbing and others for shedding light onto the situation.

MBC


YTN


SBS (No video, just translation)

서울중앙지검 첨단 범죄수사 2부는 스타크래프트 게이머들을 매수해 승부를 조작한 뒤 불법 도박사이트에서 거액의 배당금을 챙긴 혐의로 25살 박모 씨를 구속기소했습니다.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office arrested Mr. Park for fixing progaming matches and making profits from illegal betting sites.

또 게이머들에게 승부 조작에 가담하도록 연결해 준 현직 프로게이머 2명을 불구속기소하고 승부를 조작해준 게이머 6명은 벌금 200만~500만원에 약식기소했습니다.

Also, two progamers that connected Mr. Park to other progamers were prosecuted without arrest, and 6 progamers that participated in match fixing were fined from $2000~$5000.

게이머 양성학원 운영자인 박 씨는 지명수배된 조직폭력배 김모 씨와 함께 지난해 9월부터 올 2월까지 경기에 출전하는 게이머들에게 건당 200만에서 650만원씩을 주고 경기에서 고의로 지도록 한 혐의를 받고 있습니다.

Mr. Park, who owned a gaming academy, worked with Mr. Kim, a wanted organized gang member, to fix progaming matches between September of last year to February of this year by giving progamers $2000~$6500 to lose their matches.

I thank you all for bringing this to us the non korean speaking members of TL.
Wow 83,000 for Mr. Park off of 9 games, that's pretty good, is the theory that these numbers are understated true, because 83k is alot O_O.

Thanks for the translations. KeSPA should just disband and reform hite, change the sponsor, and all of the players. Only way to get over the backlash.

thankfully the players involved aren't that important to a sponsorship point these days (honestly who gives a fuck about savior/justin)

if it were taekbang leessang (bisu/stork/jaedong/flash), we'd have huge problems.

YTN mentioned a Mr. Jung as a progamer. Excuse me if I've missed out on another thread that told us this but who could Mr. Jung be?

i searched up progamers with jung as surname and got thezerg, fantasy and haran.

thezerg and haran seems impossible, and if its fantasy there's a bit of trouble for skt...

If that's the case, Oov (perhaps even Boxer) might immediately resign.

That's more than just "a bit of trouble".

On the other hand, Fantasy is still playing in the PL normally and shows no hint of trouble in his winner interviews. I doubt he is under investigation.

Face it, if even Justin can afford to throw what few games that were allocated to him, why not thezerg or haran?

The MBC one says "told the other player their strategies", how would that have worked? A little suspicious.

It's a good thing that none of the team coaches/managers were involved too, that would've been big blows as well.

wow thanks for the translations. this... is sad. Mr. Ma is everywhere... his legacy forever tainted, and though its not necessarily fair to discredit his victories (because you can't be paid to lose and win), it will still happen, and Mr. Ma will go down in progaming as 'that criminal'. What a way to fall.
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.
