Okay I know there are conspiracy theories and what not but OMFG I'm starting to believe.

I'm watching Kingdom Vs Silent_Control game 3 live right now on Mercury because I'm in Korea and I'm watching on TV. I swear to god that game was so fucking rigged.

When you get to watch it, holy shit people, you will seriously shit yourself.

Here's a list of things to look for.

1. When Kingdom harasses with 4 goons at Controls block consisting of one depot and barrack, control lifts barrack and kingdom puts goons under like a smart play. But then control builds a turret just OUTSIDE his block and Kingdom moves ALL four goons just to kill that one scv making the turret. WTF? He could've won the game. Control only had one tank in his base. Kingdom had 5 more goons coming to reinforce from his main.

2. When Kingdom's mineral only multi is being destroyed near the very end of the game, the probes were in process of mining so therefore they should go through all units, but instead they stayed right next to vultures and when a mine hit a dt it exploded like 10+ probes.

3. If you notice the game seems rigged because the dt comeback from Kingdom makes the crowd go ' Whoa '

4. In the beginning half of the game, silent control goes for 2vult 1 tank drop and he knows he is seen because a goon hits his drop once, but he goes in anyway. Wtf? He didn't even target probes with vults.

Sorry about the first post, I was just so outraged, I usually don't do that.

Discuss.

Edit: Sorry this is game 2. I was watching a re-showing of game 2. Either way, the game was still seemingly rigged.

The games were rigged. Kingdom, NaDa, ILoveOOv, and XellOs would never make such serious mistakes all in the same night if they were trying.

I've seen it. You are stupid (^_____^). Seriously, Kingdom probably targeted the scv making turret by mistake, control was busy trying to ruin kingdoms goons since he knew there was no obs around.

Dark Templar come back almost worked, the probes were trying to kill the mine (I do that a lot of the time -.- Like surround the mine with probes so that they can kill it.

Kingdom was showing off. End of story.

I started to think some TV games were rigged when I saw that famous game between Boxer and Garimto on NFZ where Garimto goes for straight arbiter and zealot recall. Boxer doesn't scout Garimto's base during the whole game, not a scan, not a flying barracks, nothing...Otherwise he would have seen the arbiter thing.

Why rig that game? All for the show!

I also think Reach Vs Nal_Ra on Paradoxx might be rigged, Reach goes straight for dark archons and Ra doen's scout either. Even Boxer vs Joyo on Paradoxx could be rigged, Joyo played like shit at the end, he let Boxer win.

There is no conspiracy. Anyone who saw the look on Kingdom's face at the end could tell you he did not throw that game.

When the goons backed out of main to kill scv, probably miss click on SCV, k?

Maybe, just maybe he made a lot of mistakes =[ Paranoid people so fun -_-

EDIT: And I don't say games are rigged to make one person win or lose, games are rigged to make the show more appealing...more fun to watch.

You can't script stuff like that - it was real.

like the NBA. i dont even think "rig" is the best word. i think "help" is. u just "help" increase the chance that it will be exciting, increase popularity of the program, the fan base, etc., more viewers = mo money. obviously just rigging the outcome doesn't necessarily do this, but select "helpage" certainly will.



remember the nal_ra vs oov or whatever, game1? the one that was given english subscripts? it is almost more feasable to believe that the game was rigged than to believe oov would intentionally let himself be photoned just to try to fend off zeal/photon with vulture/scv. maybe if we look more closely at the micro of nal_ra we can see how the fuck the vulture just didn't get killed... was he holding back to make sure oov did an "amazing thing" in a completely irrational situation? or is there just nothing better for terran do do on requiem?
