Actually, I'd be more concerned. Remember, players represent their teams. No matter how you slice it, Savior = CJ, Justin = Hite, etc. Things like this is literally enough for korean corporations to drop their sponsorships for their teams next season. | ||

Jung, Jeong, or Chung is the fifth most common last name (I think, after Kim Lee Park Choi) in Korea. TLPD's a little buggy right now so it's hard to check, but there has to be dozens of them. It would be a bit difficult to pinpoint anyone just based on that information. edit: Just re-read the front page news article by Konadora, and it says Mr. Jung is a K3 pro soccer player. | ||

If you get to a higher point in starleague your matches are obviously worth more betting wise. If he won his games with bisu in qualifiers he could throw matches in higher rounds in order to up the betting pool for the fixed gambling. | ||

IdrA was in the CJ house while this was going down. Has he made any statement about all this yet? If you want to make money by dropping games, you need people to bet on you. Just my two cents  | ||

IdrA was in the CJ house while this was going down. Has he made any statement about all this yet? Not to insult IdrA or anything, but I seriously doubt he is considered good enough by Korean standards to be able to turn a hefty profit through match fixing. At least players like Savior, Hwasin, go.go etc. played in high profile games that would allow them to get a large amount of money. Besides, if IdrA was in it for the money, he would have been better off going back home to the US then staying in Korea. I am preety sure he earned more money through winning foreigner events then he did through his progaming salary. I know you weren't implying that he was, but I just thought it wise to discredit the theory upfront before people would get any ideas. Anyway, this issue makes me wonder if these progamers, now that they tarnished their reputation in the Brood War scene, will try their luck in SC2. Since SC2 (currently) isn't under KeSPA's jurisdiction, they currently have no say in who plays the game professionally. However, I certainly hope they will not be allowed to do so. The last thing a fledging SC2 scene needs is to be negatively marked by cheaters and frauds, just like Brood War was in the early days. | ||

Should they go to prison or something? Disqualifying would be right way to do it. It's not like the tortured someone for money. | ||

You can't let the progamers freeroll, you need to set examples so future progamers will not be as ready to do it. I'd be disgusted if the main people behind this get out with a fine. | ||

I hope for them they don't go in jail. I fear they do. Not that I excuse them in anyway. But thinking that someone will go in jail will never make me happy. Especially if he is not dangerous. "Example" argument is bullshit. If criminals were thinking twice before doing something wrong because the penalty is bigger, the most repressive countries would be the safest. It happens to be exactly the opposite. | ||

Jail these days isn't so much meant to be a form of punishment as a method of keeping the offending individual out of the community. Seeing as it's rather unlikely that someone like Savior will continue to commit the same crime or another crime, there's really little reason to put him in prison. As for some of the organizers, there would be more of a reason there simply because of the reports of them using threats to manipulate the gamers as well as the fact that organizing this kind of activity is something they could easily do again if they were back in society. I understand that you may be offended by this course of events and the scandal, but don't let that color your beliefs in regard to what the punishment should be. Justice should be reasonable and thoughtful, not vengeful. | ||
