Maybe because there isn't one. That's why I'm finding it a little doubtful. Neither fomos nor DES have anything about it, and it's hard to believe a Chinese site would know about these things faster than the two largest Korean esports sites. Then again, it's 3AM here; there might be something in the morning. God I hope not  | ||

It would put people's hate on a single person they already hate, rather than a suspicion that all the players now have forgotten about the past and are becoming untrustworthy. I doubt he has anything to do with this though. There's no way he has this much guts to do something like this. Would be pretty ironic now. isn't he studying criminal law or something? | ||

That would be like Samsung fielding Great a while ago when he hasn't received his full pro status yet, where the whole thing blew over without much of an incident. This is with money involved. So, while still not as big as the whole Savior incident, it's not just a bump in the road either. The Chinese article I read from Plu stated that police/authority confirmed that there's some sort of gambling involved in these games, and that Brainclan is accusing Reality and Turn of accepting bribes to play in them. | ||
