How exactly do you know anything about what they're like 'home alone'? By how they act in front of a camera for a TV show? There's some difference between how people naturally are, and how they are when put on the spot in such a situation. While no doubt a great number are awkward, this is a ridiculous statement to make. | ||

If i think about how much money was lost by some and illegally won by some(includin savior) because of savior this seems lucky for him. i expected AT LEAST 24 month. EDIT: remember guys: dont just look at the money savior won, but also at all the money from others, which was lost/won. | ||

But if Savior didn't get very much from this then it wouldn't have been for money. So why would he do it. That's the question we should be asking if that's correct. That's the one that counts. | ||

a) This is not the final sentence, its what the prosecutors want. So, in a situation like this you always go high, and then settle for less. For example, if you're gonna sue someone you sue them for the highest feasible amount knowing that you won't get that, but the range in which they are willing to settle is much higher. We'll see what the final verdict is. b) They (the match fixers) completely destroyed a lot of the trust in the pro-gamers, pro gaming, etc. it hurt the fans, sponsors, other pro-gamers, etc. A lot of you are saying the initial sentencing seems harsh, but consider this, the match-fixing scandal could've put an end to pro-gaming. It wouldn't be fair to the hundreds of kids who have sacrificed their lives, education, etc. to make it as a pro just to have the opportunity taken away from them because a few players got greedy. The potential damage from this scandal could've been HUGE, and there was a lot of fear that progaming would come to an end because of this. A lot of people outside of Korea think its completely socially-accepted to be progamers in Korea, but its really not. It's still hard, and they've made major strides towards legitimizing progaming and thats why it has become so viable, and the match-fixing scandal could've negated all of it. | ||

I mean it cant be what some ppl here write, 3k usd or 1.7k usd... thats just too little money to get suggested over a year in prison for. And that ppl say its cuz of how much dmg it made to the game reputation is just a joke, wtf has that got to do with how much jailtime he should have. Who cares how much it hurt the fans? Then every scandal would probably end up 40+ years jailtime for pro fotball players cuz the millions of fans gets hurt? | ||
