I feel sorry for these young, over worked and underpaid guys. What they did was terrible. But no one deserves that.

I will always remember Hwasin as an incredible terran player.

Guys can you tell me what his 2nd match fixing game was? Was it against Luxury when Savior told him Luxury's opening or was it against Kal?


I think it was him vs Leta?

Q: Did something like this happen again?

A: After that first one ended, Ma Jae Hoon came to find me and told me the opponent's opener. reference Usually it's often possible for openings to get leaked during practice before a televised match happened, so I didn't think of much of it. But that time even knowing the opponenet's opener I still lost. Afterwards it became a rumor that I won alot of money from that match. The weird thing is that I actually didn't do anything wrong this time, but I still felt really bad, I thought that I was too naive and had to make up for my losses. So I lost a map to my teammate (P)Kal reference.


I mean which one among these two. Cause he said he still lost even after knowing Luxury's opening build. I'm actually confused now that I've watched the video and he won. Wrong video maybe?
hey man just curious

Being a pro gamer is very unfair. You invest a lot of time and the chances to make money are S-L-I-M. The only reason these guys played BW was for the love of the game. That being said... Hwasin... you gave 7 years of your life to give us the most entertaining sport I have ever seen. To this day NOTHING comes close to the greatness of BW SPL, OSL and MSL. We got amazing entertainment - for free - while B-teamers, practice partners and probably some A-teamers were giving away their life. B-teamers and practice partners did it all without a salary, I'm pretty sure. Where are these lesser known gamers today - that built the leagues we so love? They are trying to catch up. Going to work, studying, trying to survive. We assume that KeSPA and the teams took care of them - but we all know that sleeping 4 in a room and playing video games all day - as a young kid - without a whole lot of money is unfair. And once you leave the team house, you're on your own again.

You were amazing at what you did. You were gods to us. And you DESERVED more than what you got. And you deserve more than what you get from fans now that we don't see you as much. I wish I could hear more about ex-BW players from that time. Are you guys adapting to adulthood alright?

You gave your life for BW... STX Hwasin... without your dedication who knows where STX would be today. 7 years.... 4-5 of them preparing for SPL/OSL/MSL/GSL.... Nothing but love for you Hwasin. Don't even worry about it.

Well said. The part about being harassed by seniors and officers in the army was particularly horrible to read.

The first apology was enough for me. I'm just glad he had the moral character I assumed him to have. I hope Korea can forgive him as well.

Up to this point I've always reacted the same way itsjustatank is reacting and had zero sympathy for the matchfixers, but reading this was really heartbreaking. Hwasin was the player who shocked me the most when the scandal came out and I still don't see him in as bad a light as the other players. I wish him the best for the future.

This is so ridiculous,
international sport is over head and ears in matchfixing and dope scandals. How many sportsmen went to army or exiled themselves in manual labor? How many of them actually admitted it and how much time did it actually take?

I like how we are on tl gather and talk morality and ethics over this young man whose life was basically shi* since those two-three games he rigged.

After reading the thread I feel like somebody's wounded feelings of sportsmanship and fair play must at last be redeemed. May I congratulate you!

You know, I'd better watch 100 rigged games by him than read now this kind of interview. With all my heart, I refuse to understand how can a normal person castigate a kid for things that grown up professionals do every god damn day.

Because most people don't know for sure how normal match fixing is. That's why it's a big scandal if some players get caught. I agree though, everyone makes mistakes and that's especially true when you're young. I'm happy to hear he has landed on his feet and is happy.
