The third trial of the match-fixing scandal took place on July 7th, where Jin X was called as a witness.

Jin first got the suggestion of match-fixing in the beginning of December 2009. On a chat in Battle.Net, Ma X told him: “I’ve been troubled recently. A hyung I know is doing match-fixing, he wants me to lose on purpose, and I don’t know if I should do it.” That’s when Jin first learned of match-fixing. Ma also said: “That hyung (a soccer player) is doing bets. If you throw a game, you can get rewarded. I was hesitant at first too, but I did it in the end.” He then asked Jin: “Do you have any games?”

Jin replied: “I have an OSL game, I’m already eliminated.” Ma then said: “If I did it, you should do it too. If you lose, you can get 3 000 000 won.”

After that, Jin, according to the agreement, lost the game on purpose by making control errors. The day after the game, Ma gave Jin the money at a café near Jin’s dorm.

Jin’s second fixed game was slightly different. The day before the SPL game on 2009 December 30th, Ma texted Jin and told him the opponent is going to play 2 factory management, but Jin still lost the game. After that, Ma said: “The hyung I know bet on you winning, and he lost 20 000 000, all because you lost. You should pay him back somehow. Do you have any games?”

Jin said: “Even though I know the opponent’s opening, it’s still possible to lose in the macro game, I can’t guarantee that he won’t lose money.” But he also said: “After hearing that I caused him to lose money, I’m a bit guilty, so I told him I’ll lose the MSL game the next day and amend it.”

After that, Jin again lost a game by making control errors according to the agreement, and again got 3 000 000 won in the same method as the price for losing.

Also, 2 days before a game on 2010 January 19th against Park X, Ma texted him: “Don’t worry, someone will take care of it.” Then, he relayed some information that Won X gave him.

Jin admitted his match fixing to his team’s manager in February of this year. He expressed that beyond these two games, he didn’t fix any other matches.

Hwasin:

- You're meeting Kal, your teammate, in the ro8.
▲ It's put me in a dilemma. Out of the 8 players it's the player I wanted to face the least. He's the worst opponent to face. It's an individual league, so of course I want to do well and win, so I'll try my best.


heh

it hurts to see such good players get caught up in this

this interview paints hwasin more as a victim though. Not sure if that was the purpose.

Off topic but what happened in Sumo wrestling?


Ma then said: “If I did it, you should do it too. If you lose, you can get 3 000 000 won.”

I can't believe he even used that line lol, "if I did it you should do it too" now look Hwasin, you're banned from playing

Maybe he's allow conjugal visits from fangirls?

He's the one giving the testimony, so of course he's going to paint himself as the victim.
