Major Starleagues: 5 Silvers Only

When the opponent was happy because of victory...

When the opponent was happy because of victory, he (yellow) stood behind the stage and shed his tears.

Olympus Starleague Finals, after barely losing versus Xellos, standing behind the stage alone and crying, the player YellOw.

The first guy was Shuttle. Why was he crying? It looks pretty recent. Was that after his Ro16 elimination by Hiya in the MSL?

No it was when he qualified for an OSL, according to the caption

That's not supposed to be a progamer. Just a reminder for prolonged computer users to straighten their spines.

Yall are looking way to into it. Do people cry about steroids in baseball, no they get on and get over it. These guys are big boys, those who dont cheat get recognized and remembered, those who do are trash.

That being said, how much money did they make for rigged matches cause i bet it was mad profitable lolz

^ Nah, that's the thing. Most people threw games for like 5-8 thousand USD. It's pretty heartbreaking that they'd be willing/desperate enough to throw away a career for that kind of money.

An excerpt from an interview with savior from the thread, http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=98685

Q: What does Coach Cho mean to you? How about CJ Entus? Be honest!
Savior: Since I'm the only player to win a title after CJ was founded, I still think of Ma Jae Yoon (Note:himself) when I think of CJ. Through all those leagues, foreign tournaments, superfights, etc, I was always wearing the CJ uniform.

It's like a pillar (Note: the Korean connotation here is something he can really rely on for stability) for me, the team. I hope a lot of winners come from this team after me.

Perhaps he's referring to the calm vs hwasin match long ago where there was debate on whether or not calm was telling him his strat.

Sorry about that. Didnt see the list. There was a picture of Calm revealing strategies in the chat before a game, but I guess its debunked now.

The Calm/Hwasin incident at IEST (foreign tournament outside of KeSPA's sphere of influence) was never really debunked to everyone's satisfaction. STX denied the two fixed the final matches/claimed it was just mind games/competitive banter and it was up to people to draw their own conclusions. By most accounts they rigged it but due to the nature of the games things (as far as their progaming careers are concerned) went on before long and most let go of the incident.
