He will be one of the progamers name and carrer that I'll remember in 25 years. For many people he didn't ruined BW but he made it.

Ex-progamer Savior who was permanently banned for participating in match fixing is starting Starcraft lessons.

Savior who participated in match fixing in Starcraft was banned permanently by the Korean-eSports association on the 7th of June 2010 and was sentenced to 1 year imprisonment, 2 years probation on the 22nd of October 2010. His probation ends on the 22nd of June this year.

Savior, banned from progaming, started an internet stream in March last year and even obtained a personal sponsor in November. Since then, as criticisms began to surface on his Afreeca page and in the chat, starting January this year, only those who pay a fee to join his fanclub are allowed to post on the forum.

It's sad that he seems to have no other way of making a living other than from starcraft. If so then I don't get why he doesn't just start practicing sc2.

I think people are overreacting when they say they literally hate Savior, and seem to imply that he's a terrible person. Sure, he's greedy, and he drew in players like Upmagic who i think would've ended up as incredible players. Seriously, though, match fixing isn't nearly the worst thing that a progamer can do; Savior never cheated or physically harmed another person. It's true that he betrayed his fans, but he was punished for it. He was taken out of games, sent to the B team, humiliated, and convicted.

Savior was the one who showed zergs how to apply one's race's advantages in order to exploit certain aspects of the tournament map pools, something that Terrans had been doing for awhile. If it weren't for Savior, perhaps Bisu wouldn't have needed to adapt a new style to deal with Zerg, and Protoss players would still be doing their terrible one base zealot timings.

I know I sound like I'm trying to justify Savior's mistakes, but I truly believe that he contributed a great deal to the game, and to take the one thing that he truly spent the effort to master, SC:BW, is a punishment far beyond what he did.

I don't understand these people that say "he shouldn't try to make money off of sc anymore". That makes no sense. The guy has a passion for the game, it's what he wants to do now and forever, why force him to get a job somewhere else when he can live from his passion?

He also shattered, stomped, and pissed on the hopes and dreams of millions of nerds and almost singlehandedly destroyed BW eSports forever.

Some bloodstains don't wash off no matter how hard you scrub.
