Anyway, I'm actually kind of happy Savior didn't just fade into obscurity like virtually all other progamer match fixers who were legitimately good at the game. This is perfectly legal and I don't see how people who want him to "go straight" have any problem with this just because it doesn't fit their own normative view of criminals not being allowed to use their skills. | ||

All I can do is judge their actions, I guess this context makes sense for me to take a utilitarian standpoint. What he did with match fixing- bad. What he is doing now-good. He payed his debt for his crimes already so no need to mix the two up.

And no way one person could take away the labor of all the pros to damage the scene. And also so much inconsistency in his critics- he should not charge for it, he shouldn't charge so little. And hell whatever happened to free market? No, sir, your point is invalid. | ||

Not only did he make a come back in running, but he trained and coached many others. Ryan Leaf, shamed out of the league in NFL was a QB coach till getting arrested again. Pete Rose never has been completely away from baseball. This is just off the top of my head I'm sure I could come up with 50-100 more. This is not unheard of, if anything it's completly common. We're on TL man, real sports are something we only refer to, not something we actually know about! | ||

Professional BW gamers make money by earning salaries, tournament prizes, and performance bonuses from winning games that they spend all their time practicing and preparing for. They don't waste time by giving lessons for skittles, and they aren't really allowed to anyway - doing things outside the team like streaming/coaching/replay doesn't help you win that next televised game, and it even hurts your chances if you gift wrap your preparation and show it to the opponent. This includes low level players who don't earn salaries, because they especially need to get their skills up if they want to get TV games. | ||

I think that he shouldn't "bow out" of the SC scene, he should do whatever he wants to do, and if people want to pay for him to coach them they should. I hope that people get over this and move on, not because it wasn't a big deal, but because it has been dealt with in a ridiculously harsh way. Let it go already. You should see how the Koreans react to him. | ||

Besides, it's already 2012, 4 years after the recession. Not every place got hit as hard as the US and EU was. And personally, living in the US, we've been in recovery mode for quite a while now. The economy in many places is not in the dumps anymore. Many Asian countries have recovered even faster. It's time people stop using the economy as an excuse for Savior not to learn a different skill and get a different job in a different industry. | ||

Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't imagine he'd only charge $25 for a real lesson that involves him actually talking about your play and helping you. If he really is just selling commentary, I find that pretty distasteful given his history, and the fact the most players who already commentate their own games do it for free. If this is real, interactive, quality teaching, then I'd say he's giving quite the deal and I think that's somewhat commendable.. | ||
