Sure, benefit from teaching all those kids to have hopes of becoming a pro-BW player. Oh wait, while raising those kids, lets not forget to mention what he also did to destroy those hopes of kids who wanted to become a pro-player by downsizing the scene into 1 studio and 8 teams. Let's also mention the fact that BW has been getting less sponsorship requests nowadays, and OGN/KeSPA actually has hard time finding sponsors due to the bad image of e-Sports caused by those "incidents" If I knew that the day I last sat in MBCGame was going to be the last Proleague game being held in LOOX studio with full attendee, then I would've savored every single second of it. Thanks to people who are "doing something very beneficial to the community by giving lessons" and "breed a new generation of progamers", I regret getting out of the studio without taking few extra photos for myself. If people in this community had even a slight clue about what happened in the Korean BW scene with this particular incident, they know that Savior incident actually mattered in closure of MBCGame. If you know about the match fixing then still choose to support Savior or this lesson, that's fine by me because sometimes, you can't let go of your idol. However, don't act like you actually care for the closure of MBCGame if you still support his cause. | ||

Everyone has their own opinions about the man. Many StarCraft 2 players that happened to flip through Brood War's history will probably have this opinion of sAviOr. The old guards of Brood War that are antagonizing the newcomers should realize they're sort of acting in oppression. You have very strong opinions, yes be vocal about it. But don't force your views on other. sAviOr already had judicial decisions levied against him. | ||

Hey, I have no problems with this. The S. Korean judicial system has ruled, and that's that. We can be bitter (and I am) but he can do what he wants. The reason he has no takers (yet), is because with the horrible rumors about the BW scene lately, and the immense multitude of, and popularity of, other games makes being a good BW player less desirable than it was, say, 2 years ago. Even though Flash gushed over his skills on bnet, Savior hasn't posted decent results in years. It's hard to believe he threw all of those games that were losses. It was likely no more than ten. So the rest were just him losing. So I feel like most of the things he could teach you are outdated in regards to the highest level. Certainly good enough to get you a high ranking in ICCUP, or do well in team tourneys, which is the most practical use for a customer receiving lessons, but your money can used for better things. And since he threw games for money, I see nothing stopping him half-assing lessons for money. Let the buyer beware. | ||

The post states that 'Users who record the lessons and shares them will be added to the blacklist' to prevent users who try to obtain free lessons. Funny how he has no tolerance for people cheating the system. | ||

Pointing out a historical fact has no moral significance if you had no influence on the matter, it has personal, historical or academic significance but that's it. You aren't a more moral or upstanding person for pointing out someone's past mistakes, just as you aren't less moral or upstanding for pointing out someone's past achievements. All I'm seeing is someone who spent his educational career time playing professional BW, who was good at BW, made a mistake, was punished for it, and now is offering to coach for his sole / some additional income probably because it's the only skill he has available at his disposal with out restarting his entire educational career 10 years late. | ||

Call in the next 30 minutes and he'll even throw in a discount lesson! Don't speak Korean? No problem!

That some massive lag right there, can you explain that lag to me? Is it really the bad image of esports? Is SC2 included in that esport? Do they also suffer from the match fixing? I mean, it has to because savior killed esports single handedly according to you. Is it really because of people giving brood war lessons that you can't go to the LOOX studio anymore, or is it rather because of people throwing games? Oh wait, for you the action doesn't matter, it's all about the name. Can you give me sources for the direct correlation of the closing of MBCGame and the match fixing (which is not entirely saviors fault)? Who are you to tell people what they care about? Worlds judge again? I care about the closure of MBCGame, it fucking sucks. But I have an entire different view about punishment of people than you. I value actions way higher than names. Who are you to tell me that I'm wrong and you are right? | ||

And even if he hasn't he's not really in a position to harm anyone else. No one can deny he's a SICK player, these lessons can only help those who take them and help him make a living the best, and probably only, way he knows how: playing the game he loves. And I got into the BW scene WAY after the match fixing scandal. This guy still hasn't learnt his lessons. Yes, he's a pretty sick player, the morally sick type. And I truly thinks he doesn't love the game at all. It's the money that he loves, he's really corrupted. | ||

I always knew something was off with IPXZerg. I didn't like his character back then and I don't like his character now. He really did leave a black eye on the organizations and I guess it should be no surprise that money dried up fairly quickly when they found it to be true. Just one of many factors in the equation, but something we cannot overlook especially in that culture.
