Wow. The title seemed fairly innocent but when I realized that it was about matchmaking I changed my mind fast. I doubt it's as bad as bad as the case with savior involved due to the lack of "big" names but it surely has to possibility to dent the image of and the trust BW and esport in general.

1a2a3a didn't really like TurN as he mentioned that before on his own stream IIRC.

I would certainly like to believe it's just a random accusation.

It still makes me feel uneasy but ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ all I can do is wait. I'm a fan of Reality too.

As a fan of Khan and to lesser extent both Reality and Turn, I'm disappointed in them smurfing. Hopefully, that's all there was to it, and they get infractions.

So I read the OP and now I'm even more confused. O.o

So some guy bought the account GanziTerran from Reality. He hires a bunch of pros to play on it to mask its identity. And then he uses it to join a Clan, but the Clan found out that this account used to belong to a SKT1 B-teamer? But didn't it belong to Reality? :\

Hoping for the best, i.e., no connections to betting groups.

Meh, no proof of anything yet.

Perfect timing though, as KeSPA is looking for a sponsor for an 8th team!

What the hell?....Why would someone do this? At least Savior and company had some financial incentives...certainly progamers wouldn't have much to gain from an amateur tournament...I hope it turns out to be false accusation.

It all depends how much these pro-gamers earn. Rookie/lower tier players earn pretty much nothing. So in the end, it's pretty "understandable" why they would do something like this, especially when there was around $10k involved. But once again, nothing seems to be confirmed or anything so..

I guess BW betting sites in Korea are alive and doing very well.

Interesting, even if it's not true, rumors like this just reminds everyone that there are players who are only in it for the money.
